    The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is reopening the public comment period for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) related to the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii (HDR-H) project. This radar aims to detect and monitor long-range ballistic missile threats. The EIS will explore the possible environmental impacts of constructing and operating this radar on two Hawaiian islands. The public has a 45-day window to submit comments, which will be considered in the draft EIS analysis. Due to COVID-19, public scoping meetings will be held online instead of in person.
