ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Los Angeles District in conjunction with the Los Angeles Harbor Department (Port) is examining the feasibility of waterside, terminal and transportation improvements at Berths 136–147 in the Port of Los Angeles. The Corps is considering the Port’s application for a Department of the Army permit under Clean Water Act section 404 and River and Harbor Act section 10 to conduct dredge and fill activities and construct one new wharf approximately 705 feet and seismically upgrade two wharves approximately 3,022 feet in length associated with the proposed project. Major project elements to be covered in the Draft EIS/EIR include: wharf construction and landside improvements. The landside developments will include expansion, redevelopment and construction of marine terminal facilities, and transportation infrastructure improvements including construction of grade separations, and potential realignment of road and railways. The primary Federal involvement is the discharge of dredge and/or fill materials within waters of the United States, work (e.g. dredging) and structures in or affecting navigable waters of the United States, and potential impacts on the human environment from such activities. Therefore, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Corps is requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prior to rendering a final decision on the Port’s permit application. The Corps may ultimately make a determination to permit or deny the above project or permit or deny modified versions of the above project. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Port will serve as Lead Agency for the Preparation of an Environmental Impact E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM 06APN1

Management for Net-Centric Operations.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology and Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this 
meeting, the Board will develop recommendations regarding: the

identify the National Security objectives for the 21st century and the 
operational missions that U.S. military will be called upon to support 
these objectives; identify new operational capabilities needed for the 
proposed missions; identify the critical science technology, and other 
related enablers of the desired capabilities; assess current S&T 
investment plans' relevance to the needed operational capabilities and 
enablers and recommend needed changes to the plans; identify mechanisms 
to accelerate and assure the transition of technology into U.S. 
military capabilities; and review and recommend changes as needed, the 
current processes by which national security objectives and needed 
operational capabilities are used to develop and prioritize science, 
technology, and other related enablers, and how those enablers are then 
developed.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), it has been
