Summary of Information Collection
DoD uses the following DFARS
provisions and clauses in solicitations
and contracts to require offerors and
contractors to identify and mark data or
software requiring protection from
unauthorized release or disclosure in
accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320:
252.227–7013, Rights in Technical
Data-Noncommercial Items.
252.227–7014, Rights in
Noncommercial Computer Software and
Noncommercial Computer Software
Documentation.
252.227–7017, Identification and
Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure
Restrictions.
252.227–7018, Rights in
Noncommercial Technical Data and
Computer Software—Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C.
2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited
rights data to persons outside the
Government, or allow those persons to
use limited rights data, if the recipient
agrees not to further release, disclose, or
use the data. Therefore, the clause at
DFARS 252.227–7013, Rights in
Technical Data—Noncommercial Items,
requires the contractor to identify and
mark data or software that it provides
with limited rights.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b),
contractors and subcontractors at any
tier must be prepared to furnish written
justification for any asserted restriction
on the Government’s rights to use or
release data. The following DFARS
clauses require contractors and
subcontractors to maintain adequate
records and procedures to justify any
asserted restrictions:
252.227–7019, Validation of Asserted
Restrictions—Computer Software.
252.227–7037, Validation of
Restrictive Markings on Technical Data.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320,
DoD must protect the rights of
contractors that have developed items,
components, or processes at private
expense. Therefore, the clause at DFARS
252.227–7025, Limitations on the Use or
Disclosure of Government—Furnished
Information Marked with Restrictive
Legends, requires a contractor or
subcontractor to submit a use and nondisclosure agreement when it obtains
data from the Government to which the
Government has only limited rights.

The provision at DFARS 252.227–
7028, Technical Data or Computer
Software Previously Delivered to the
Government, requires an offeror to
identify any technical data or computer
software that it previously delivered, or
will deliver, under any Government
contract. DoD needs this information to
avoid paying for rights in technical data
or computer software that the
Government already owns.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement on Rock Mining in Wetlands
in the Lake Belt Region of Miami-Dade
County, FL
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army corps of
Engineers (Corps) Jacksonville District
intends to prepare a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
to evaluate potential impacts of further
rock mining within wetlands in western
Miami-date county, FL. The original
EIS, The Rock Mining-Freshwater
Lakebelt Plan Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement, issued
in May 2000 focused on the potential
impacts of a 50-year mining plan within
the Lake Belt area. After evaluating the
EIS, the Corps issued a Record of
Decision and permits that allowed
mining within a smaller, 10-year plan in
April 2002. The Corps decision was
challenged in United States District
Court and the Court’s Order on Motions
for Summary Judgement was issued on
March 22, 2006 as part of Case No. 03–
23427–CIV–HOEVELER, United States
District Court Southern District of
Florida. The decision instructed the
Corps to engage in additional analyses
of rock mining in the Lake Belt region.
Accordingly, the Corps is preparing this
SEIS.
DATES: The Corps plans to hold a public
scoping meeting on October 19, 2006 at
7 p.m. EST.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at
the Miami Dade Fire Rescue
Headquarters, 9300 NW 41st Street,
Doral, FL 33178. (786) 331–5000.

Ms.
Leah Oberlin, (561) 472–3506.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: a. Project
background and Authorization. The
Corps examined the potential impacts of
rock mining activities with a 50-year life
under the Miami-Dade County Lakebelt
Plan (Lakebelt Plan), as accepted by the
Florida Legislature in Section 373.4149,
Florida Statutes (F.S.). The Corps
participated in the committee of agency
and industry representatives created in
1992 by the Florida Legislature,
prepared an EIS, and participated in a
technical review and advisory group
formed by the Working Group for the
Restoration of the South Florida
Ecosystem. While the original EIS
reviewed a 50-year plan for rock mining,
the Corps issued Department of the
Army (DA) authorization to ten rock
mining companies on April 11, 2002
authorizing 10 year of mining activities
over a 5,712 acre area. Mining under the
10-year permits has been underway for
four years.
b. Need or Purpose. The purpose of
the proposed action is to continue to
provide high-quality construction grade
limestone to the construction industry
in Florida. The Corps recognizes that
there is a public and private need for
this product. The purpose of the
proposed SEIS is to evaluate the
environmental effects of alternatives to
meet these requirements while
protecting the aquatic environment.
c. Prior EAs, EISs. In May 2000, the
Corps produced a Final Programmatic
EIS for rock mining in the Lake Belt
Region considering a 50-year mining
plan. This SEIS will update and
supplement that EIS and will also
evaluate alternatives for present and
possible future mining operations.
d. Alternatives. An evaluation of
alternatives, including a ‘‘No Action’’
alternative and rock mining in other
areas both inside and outside of MiamiDade County and/or Florida will be
done. The SEIS will analyze reasonable
alternatives to obtaining construction
grade limestone and other limestone
products to meet the identified purpose
and need. Alternatives will be
determined through scoping, but are
expected to vary according to location,
timing, and breadth of mining, in
addition to a ‘‘no action’’ alternative.
e. Issues. In addition to updating and
supplementing the information from the
2000 EIS, the following issues have been
identified for analysis in the SEIS. This
list is preliminary and is intended to
facilitate public comment on the scope
of the SEIS. The SEIS will consider the
effects on Federally listed threatened
and endangered species, essential fish

habitats, health and safety,
conservation, economics, aesthetics,
general environmental concerns,
wetlands (and other aquatic resources),
historic properties, fish and wildlife
values, flood hazards, floodplain values,
land use, navigation, shoreline erosion
and accretion, recreation, water supply
and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production,
mineral needs, considerations and
property ownership, and, in general, the
needs and welfare of the people, and
other issues identified through scoping,
public involvement, and interagency
coordination. At the present time, our
primary environmental focus will be on
endangered species (including but not
limited to possible effects on the wood
stock and the Eastern indigo snake), the
loss of wetland functions and value,
mitigation (including but not limited to
the available of land for acquisition in
Pennsucco and other mitigation
options), drinking water well field
protection (including but not limited to
possible contaminants including
benzene, cryptosporidum, and giardia),
groundwater seepage to the east
(including but not limited to possible
impacts to resources of Everglades
National Park), and surface water
quality.
We expect to better define the issues
of concern and define the methods that
will be used to evaluate those issues
through the scoping process.
f. Scoping Process. CEQ regulations
(40 CFR 1501.7) require an early and
open process for determining the scope
of an EIS and for identifying significant
issues related to the proposed action.
The public will be involved in the
scoping and evaluation process through
advertisements, notices, and other
means. At a minimum, all parties who
have expressed interest in the Lake Belt
Rock Mining Permits will be given the
opportunity to participate in this
process. Federal, state and local
agencies, and other interested groups
will also be involved. Meetings to
address discrete issues or parts or
functions of the study area may be
called. All parties are invited to
participate in the scoping process by
identifying any additional concerns on
issues, studies needed, alternatives,
procedures, and other matters related to
the scope of the SEIS.
A public scoping meeting is
scheduled for (see DATES and
ADDRESSES). The Corps will provide
additional notification of the meeting
time and location through newspaper
advertisements and other means.
Following a short presentation on the
planned SEIS, verbal and written
comments on the scope of the SEIS will
