Plan and 180-day study. The applicable
form(s) is included in the individual
case file of the decedent.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit; Person Authorized to Direct
Disposition (PADD); family members of
the deceased.
Annual Burden Hours: 15.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The respondents are the PADD of the
decedent for whom mortuary services as
described on the applicable form (DD
Form X634; DD Form X635; DD Form
X636; DD Form X637; DD Form X638;
or DD Form X639) is recommended or
required, and the witness to that
election. The PADD documents their
election, and the PADD and witness
sign the applicable form to formalize
this process and document the election
of the PADD. These forms become a part
of the Official Individual Deceased
Personnel File. If the PADD does not
sign these forms, then the Department
cannot provide mortuary and
transportation services to the PADD.
Currently there is a lack of
standardization across the Military
Services, as each Service currently
utilizes different forms for these
elections and they do not all capture the
same information even on similar forms.
Standardizing the information collected
is essential in maintaining the
transparency and integrity of the
mortuary affairs process.

Construction and Operation of a General
Purpose Warehouse and Improvement
and Operation of Four Open Storage
Areas at Defense Depot Red River,
Texas.
The Defense Logistics Agency
(DLA) announces the availability of a
FONSI for the proposed action to
construct and operate a general purpose
warehouse and improve and operate
four existing, unimproved open storage
areas at Defense Depot Red River, Texas
Depot to provide appropriate storage for
vehicles, parts, and other materiel. This
action is needed because DLA
Distribution Red River does not have
sufficient warehousing and open storage
space, which leads to the degradation of
supplies and safety concerns for staff.
The environmental assessment was
prepared in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), (1969), the Council on
Environmental Quality regulations,
Army Regulation AR 200–2, and DLA
Regulation 1000.22. The Draft EA and
Draft FONSI were made available for a
30-day public review period, which
ended on September 22, 2014. The Draft
EA and Draft FONSI also were sent to
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department (TPWD) for review under
the Wildlife Habitat Assessment
Program. No comments were received
from the public during the 30-day
review period. The TPWD commented
that they do not anticipate significant,
adverse impacts on threatened and
endangered species or other fish and
wildlife resources and concur that an
Environmental Impact Statement is not
warranted for the Proposed Action. The
TPWD recommended removing only the
minimum amount of vegetation
necessary to construct the proposed
GPW and associated infrastructure. The
FONSI documents the decision of DLA
to proceed with the proposed action.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Determination: DLA has determined
that implementation of the Proposed
Action will not have a significant effect
on the human environment. Human
environment was interpreted
comprehensively to include the natural
and physical environment and the
relationship of people with that
environment. Specifically, no highly
uncertain or controversial impacts,
unique or unknown risks, or
cumulatively significant effects were

identified. Implementation of the
Proposed Action will not violate any
Federal, state, or local laws. Based on
the results of the analyses performed
during preparation of the EA, David
Rodriguez, Director, DLA Installation
Support, concludes that Construction
and Operation of a General Purpose
Warehouse and Improvement and
Operation of Four Open Storage Areas at
Defense Depot Red River, Texas, does
not constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment within the context
of NEPA. Therefore, an environmental
impact statement for the Proposed
Action is not required.
