This Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) has been developed by the Army Tank Automotive Armaments Command (TACOM) LCMC for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Joint Program Office (JPO) to meet the Army requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 as amended; the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing NEPA (40 CFR 1500 & 1508); and Department of the Army (DA) 32 CFR 651 Environmental Analysis of Army Actions; Final Rule March 29, 2002, which implements NEPA and CEQ regulations. Though overdue, its purpose is to inform decision makers during future lifecycle phases fielding facilities and the public of the expected and any observed environmental consequences of the proposed action and alternatives. TACOM LCMC has conducted NEPA analyses for the Army family of MRAP vehicles being procured and fielded under the direction of the MRAP Joint Program Office (JPO). The MRAP vehicle program is a joint Service program among the United States (US) Army (USA), US Air Force (USAF), US Navy (USN), US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and US Marine Corps (USMC). The USMC has been designated as the lead agency and thus heads the MRAP JPO responsible for all MRAP program activities. The Department of the Navy (DoN) is the MRAP Vehicle Program Executive Agent, and the Commander, Marine Corps Systems Command (COMMARCORSYSCOM) functions as the MRAP Vehicle Program Executive Officer (PEO). The Undersecretary of Defense (USD), Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) is the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).
