Proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the M1 Breacher Life Cycle Environmental Assessment

Résumé

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and Army Regulation 200-2, the proposed FONSI for the M1 Breacher is being published for comment. The U.S. Army Program Executive Office, Ground Combat & Support Systems (PEO-GCSS) has prepared a Life Cycle Environmental Assessment (LCEA) which examines the potential impacts to the natural and human environment from the proposed development of the Breacher as a combat vehicle that combines capabilities to reduce both simple and complex obstacle systems into a single armored vehicle chassis. Based on the LCEA, PEO-GCSS and the Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) have determined the proposed action is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, within the meaning of NEPA. Therefore the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required and the Army is issuing this proposed FONSI.
