Environmental Assessment for the Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF) Facility at Fort Meade, Md
The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the availability of the Draft Environmental Assessment as part of the environmental planning process for the CNMF Facility at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NSA proposes to construct a new 750,000-square foot CNMF mission operations facility (MOF) and associated infrastructure to consolidate CNMF personnel and operations on the NSA campus and optimize NSA, U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), and CNMF mission and collaboration. The current dispersal of operations across the NSA campus leads to inefficiencies in critical national security operations. The MOF would accommodate 2,500 personnel, including 1,700 currently onsite and 800 coming from off-site facilities and future growth. In addition to the construction of the MOF, a parking structure would be constructed to accommodate 90 percent of the personnel located in the proposed MOF, or 2,250 parking spaces, in addition to the number of parking spaces displaced by construction of the parking structure, which would vary by alternative. The NSA is considering four alternatives with varying site combinations for the MOF and associated parking structure.
The DoD invites public and agency input on the Draft EA. Copies of the Draft EA and FONSI are available for your review on the project website at https://www.nab.usace.army.mil/cyber-national-mission-force-facility/ and at the Medal of Honor Memorial Library, 4418 Llewellyn Avenue, Fort Meade, MD 20755 and Severn Community Library, 2624 Annapolis Road, Severn, MD 21144.
You can submit written comments addressed to “CNMF EA,” c/o HDR, 2650 Park Tower Drive, Suite 400, Vienna, VA 22180 or via email to jdwill2@nsa.gov. Written comments are requested by October 28, 2024, to ensure sufficient time to consider public input in preparation of the Final EA. Comments on this Proposed Action are requested. Written comments may be published in the EA. Any personal information provided will be used only to fulfill requests for copies of the EA. Private addresses will be compiled to develop a mailing list for those requesting copies of the Final EA. Only the names of private citizens will appear in the EA; personal addresses and phone numbers will not be published.

Military Aircraft Noise
Military aircraft comprise a small percentage of air traffic in the National Capital Region. Aircraft from the Army constitutes an even smaller percentage. In order to ensure complaints concerning aircraft noise are properly referred to the right entity, initial complaints should be referred to the FAA Complaint Portal to assist in determining the source of the complaint and, if applicable, referral to the appropriate military entity.
