Draft EIS Public Review
On August 28, 2026, the DAF published the F-35A Beddown at Moody AFB Draft EIS Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. This began the 30-day public review period for the Draft EIS. The Draft EIS addresses the potential environmental consequences resulting from implementation of the Proposed Action and a No Action Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the A-10C aircraft at Moody AFB would be fully divested and there would be no beddown of F-35A aircraft. To ensure the DAF has sufficient time to consider public input in preparation of the Final EIS, please submit written comments by September 28, 2026.

Privacy Advisory
Public input allows the DAF to make better-informed decisions. Letters or other written or verbal comments provided may be published in this EIS. Providing personal information is voluntary. Private addresses will be compiled to develop a stakeholders’ inventory list. However, only the names of the individuals making comments and specific comments will be disclosed. Personal information, home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses will not be published in the Final EIS.
Public Meeting
On September 15, 2026, the DAF hosted a virtual public meeting to provide the public with the opportunity to learn more about the proposal and provide input. The virtual public meeting consisted of a presentation followed by a public comment session that allowed individuals the opportunity to provide written comments. The DAF will continue to accept comments on the Draft EIS through September 28, 2026.
Public Scoping Period
On July 25, 2025, the DAF announced the intent to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register. This began the public scoping period for the EIS. During the 30-day scoping period, you may provide comments on the DAF’s proposal to beddown two F-35A squadrons at Moody Air Force Base (AFB). Federal, state, and local agencies; organizations, special interest groups; Tribal governments; and individuals are encouraged to submit written comments during the public scoping period to assist the DAF with identifying alternatives and providing information to inform the analyses.
The DAF will accept comments at any time during the Environmental Impact Analysis Process for the proposed F-35A beddown at Moody AFB. However, to ensure the DAF has sufficient time to consider public comments during the preparation of the Draft EIS, please submit comments within the 30-day scoping period (July 25, 2025 to August 24, 2025).
