SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the action addressed in this
DEIS is to further our knowledge of
Pluto, the outermost known planet of
our solar system, and its moon, Charon,
and (if possible) the Kuiper Belt. The
goal of the New Horizons mission
would be to measure the fundamental
physical and chemical properties of
Pluto and Charon. Specifically, the New
Horizons mission would acquire data to
address the following primary scientific
objectives.
VerDate jul<14>2003 19:31 Feb 24, 2005 Jkt 205001
—Characterize the global geology and
morphology of Pluto and Charon.
—Map the surface compositions of Pluto
and Charon.
—Characterize the neutral (uncharged)
atmosphere of Pluto and its rate of
escape.
After the Pluto-Charon flyby and data
playback is complete, the spacecraft
may continue on an extended mission to
encounter one or more objects within
the Kuiper Belt. The remote science
instrumentation planned for Pluto and
Charon could also be used for
investigations of the Kuiper Belt Objects
(KBO).
Pluto is the only major body within
our solar system that has not yet been
visited by spacecraft. Many of the
questions posed about Pluto and Charon
can only be addressed by a spacecraft
mission that brings advanced
instruments close to the two bodies.
Scientific knowledge of all other planets
and their moons, and thus
understanding of the nature of the solar
system, has been increased enormously
through visits by spacecraft.
The science to be performed at Pluto
and Charon is time-critical because of
long-term seasonal changes in the
surfaces and atmospheres of both
bodies. The objectives of surface
mapping and surface composition
mapping would be significantly
compromised as Pluto and Charon
recede from the Sun and their polar
regions become increasingly hidden in
shadow. Furthermore, as Pluto recedes
from the Sun, substantial decline, if not
complete collapse, of its atmosphere is
widely anticipated.
The recent discovery of many objects
beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt has
opened another dimension for this
mission of exploration. KBOs, in stable
and well-defined orbits that have never
taken them close to the Sun, are likely
to be remnants of solar system formation
and may hold clues to the birth of the
planets. Knowledge gained from close
examination of objects in the Kuiper
Belt would be of great value in
developing theoretical models of the
evolution and destiny of the solar
system.
The proposed action consists of
continuing preparations for and
implementing the New Horizons
mission. The New Horizons spacecraft
would be launched on an Atlas V 551
from CCAFS in January–February 2006.
This launch opportunity represents the
best opportunity for achieving the time-
critical science objectives at Pluto and
Charon. A backup launch opportunity
could occur in February 2007 with
arrival at Pluto in 2019 or 2020
PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM
depending upon the exact date of
launch. Accordingly, the only
alternative that was evaluated is the No
Action alternative.
For the New Horizons missions, the
potentially affected environment for a
normal launch includes the area at and
in the vicinity of the launch site, CCAFS
in Florida. The environmental impacts
of a normal launch of the mission for
the proposed action would be associated
principally with the exhaust emissions
from the Atlas V launch vehicle. These
effects would include: (1) Short-term
impacts on air quality within the
exhaust cloud and near the launch pad,
and (2) the potential for acidic
deposition on the vegetation and surface
water bodies at and near the launch
complex, particularly if rain occurs
shortly after launch.
Potential launch accidents could
result in the release of some of the
radioactive material on board the
spacecraft. The spacecraft would have
one RTG that uses plutonium dioxide to
provide electrical power. The
radioisotope inventory of the RTG
would total up to approximately
124,000 curies of plutonium.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE),
in cooperation with NASA, has
performed a risk assessment of potential
accidents for the New Horizons mission.
This assessment used a methodology
refined through applications to the
Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini, and Mars
Exploration Rover missions, and
incorporates results of safety tests on the
RTG and an evaluation of the January
17, 1997, Delta II accident at CCAFS.
DOE’s risk assessment for this mission
indicates that in the event of a launch
accident the expected impacts of
released radioactive material at and in
the vicinity of the launch area, and on
a global basis, would be small.
NASA will hold public comment
meetings during which the public is
invited to participate in an open
exchange of information and submission
of comments on the DEIS. Each public
meeting will begin with an opportunity
for informal discussions with project
personnel, followed by a brief NASA
presentation on the New Horizons
mission, and conclude with the
submission of formal comments, both
written and oral. The meetings will be
held at the Florida Solar Energy Center,
1679 Clearlake Road, Cocoa, Florida

ACTION:Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
SUMMARY: The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before April
11, 2005. Once the appraisal of the
records is completed, NARA will send
a copy of the schedule. NARA staff
usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting the Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML) using
one of the following means: Mail: NARA

Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses
after the name of the agency which
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.
