MEMORANDUM OPINION
JOHN H. PRATT, Senior District Judge.
On November 4, 1993, this Court conducted a hearing to consider whether the Nation al Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) 2 requires that the Department of Defense (“DOD”) prepare Environmental Impact Studies (“EIS”) for certain U.S. military installations in Japan. Based on the arguments and authorities presented by the parties in their briefs and during the hearing, the Court found that NEPA is not applicable in the situation before us. This Order memorializes the Court’s bench ruling granting summary judgment for defendants.
