POSTAL SERVICE
Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Impact Statement
for Purchase of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Notice of availability of final environmental impact statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), its implementing procedures at 39 CFR 775, and the
President's Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts
1500-1508), the U.S. Postal Service announces availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
[[Page 995]]
to purchase over ten years 50,000 to 165,000 purpose-built, right-hand-
drive vehicles--the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV)--to replace
existing delivery vehicles nationwide that are approaching the end of
their service life. While the Postal Service has not yet determined the
precise mix of the powertrains in the new vehicles to be purchased,
under the Proposed Action, at least ten percent of the NGDV would have
battery electric (BEV) powertrains, with the remainder being internal
combustion (ICE). The FEIS evaluates the environmental impacts of the
Proposed Action, as well as two BEV and ICE commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) vehicle alternatives and the ``no action'' alternative.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's publication of the FEIS
in the Federal Register begins a 30-day waiting period. Following the
waiting period, the U.S. Postal Service will make a final decision
regarding the Proposed Action and complete a Record of Decision.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may view the FEIS at <a href="http://uspsngdveis.com/">http://uspsngdveis.com/</a>.
