Environmental Impact Analysis Process

The National Guard Bureau (NGB) and the Department of the Air Force (DAF) invite the public to review this project website for the latest information about the proposal to locate one formal training unit squadron of F-35A Lightning II aircraft at the 173d Fighter Wing (173 FW) at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Please review this site for:

• information on the status and schedule of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
• documents and references available for review
• opportunities for public involvement
• methods to submit comments during the designated public comment periods

This website will be updated throughout the project. Please check back often for updates.

Public Involvement and Upcoming Draft EIS Release

Public involvement is an integral part of the Environmental Impact Analysis Process. The public has an important role in providing input during this process to help the NGB make more informed decisions about implementing this proposal. The NGB and DAF held a public scoping period in 2024 and reviewed all public comments received. The NGB, DAF, and Federal Aviation Administration will be publishing the Draft EIS in winter 2026. Future announcements will be made when the Draft EIS is published, and the public review and comment period opens. More information on the public involvement process is available on the Get Involved page.
