The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) within the Department of Defense is using a rule from the Department of the Navy (DoN) to renovate a building in York, Pennsylvania, without needing an extensive environmental review. This adoption falls under a specific rule that allows federal agencies to use certain exclusions if they typically don't harm the environment. OLDCC confirmed with DoN that using this rule is appropriate for the planned renovations, which won't involve significant changes to the site. The project aims to enhance training facilities as part of a Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program grant.
Simple Explanation
The OLDCC is using a special rule from the Navy so they can fix up a building without doing a long environmental study; they talked with the Navy to make sure it's okay to do this since the changes won't really affect the environment.
