naval training in the Jacksonville (JAX)
Range Complex. The Navy proposes to
support current and emerging training
operations and research, development,
testing, and evaluation (RDT&E)
activities at the JAX Range Complex by:
(1) Maintaining baseline operations at
current levels; (2) increasing training
operations from current levels as
necessary to support the Fleet Readiness
Training Plan (FRTP); (3)
accommodating mission requirements
associated with force structure changes;
and (4) implementing enhanced range
complex capabilities. The EIS/OEIS
study area is the JAX Range Complex
which consists of targets and
instrumented areas, airspace, surface
and subsurface operations areas
(OPAREAs), and land range facilities.
Together the JAX Range Complex
encompasses: 27 square miles of land
area; 62,596 nm2 of special use airspace
(SUA); and 50,090 nm2 of sea space.
The scope of actions to be analyzed in
this EIS/OEIS includes current and
proposed future Navy training, and
RDT&E activities, within Navycontrolled operating areas, airspace, and
ranges. It also includes proposed Navyfunded range capabilities
enhancements, including infrastructure
improvements that support range
complex training and RDT&E activities.
Training activities that involve the use
of active sonar are conducted in the JAX
Range Complex; however, those
potential effects are being analyzed in
detail in a separate document, the
Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training
EIS/OEIS. This separate sonar EIS/OEIS
addresses active sonar use as a whole by
the Atlantic Fleet in the eastern Atlantic
Ocean (including waters that are part of
the JAX Range Complex), and in the
Gulf of Mexico. The results of this sonar
EIS/OEIS will be incorporated into the
JAX Range Complex EIS/OEIS to
account for active sonar effects that
could occur within the geographic area
of the JAX Range Complex.
Dates and Addresses: Public scoping
meetings will be held to receive oral and
written comments on environmental
concerns that should be addressed in
the EIS/OEIS in the following cities:
Charleston, South Carolina; Beaufort,
South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; and
Jacksonville, Florida. Public scoping
open houses will be held at the
following dates, times, and locations:
February 20, 2007, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
at the Embassy Suites in Charleston, SC;
February 21, 2007, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
at the U.S. Army National Guard
Armory in Beaufort, SC; February 22,
2007 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Coastal
Georgia Center in Savannah, GA; and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
Conway, Naval Facilities Engineering
Command Southeast, 904–542–6159.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Navy’s mission is to maintain, train, and
equip combat-ready naval forces capable
of winning wars, deterring aggression,
and maintaining freedom of the seas.
For that reason, 10 U.S.C. 5062 directs
the Chief of Naval Operations to train all
naval forces for combat. The Chief of
Naval Operations meets that direction,
in part, by conducting at-sea training
exercises and ensuring naval forces have
access to ranges, OPAREAs, and
airspace where they can develop and
maintain skills for wartime missions
and conduct RDT&E of naval weapons
systems. As such, Navy ranges,
OPAREAs, and airspace must be
maintained and/or enhanced to
accommodate necessary training and
testing activities in support of national
security objectives.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to: Achieve and maintain Fleet
readiness using the JAX Range Complex
to support current, emerging, and future
training operations and RDT&E
operations; expand warfare missions;
and upgrade/modernize existing range
capabilities to enhance and sustain
Navy training and testing.
The need for the proposed action is to
provide combat capable forces ready to
deploy worldwide in accordance with
10 U.S.C. 5062. Specifically, maintain
current levels of military readiness by
training in the JAX Range Complex;
accommodate future increases in
operational training tempo in the JAX
Range Complex and support the rapid
deployment of naval units or strike
groups; achieve and sustain readiness in
ships and squadrons so that the Navy
can quickly deploy significant combat
power to multiple areas around the
world at the same time in the event of
a national crisis or contingency
operation and consistent with the FRTP;
support the testing and training needed
for new vessels, aircraft, and weapons
systems; and maintain the long-term
viability of the JAX Range Complex
while protecting human health and the
environment.
Three alternatives will be evaluated in
the EIS/OEIS including: (1) The No
Action Alternative comprised of
baseline operations and support of
existing range capabilities; (2)
Alternative 1 comprised of the No
Action Alternative plus additional
operations, expanded warfare missions,
accommodation of force structure

changes including training resulting
from the introduction of new vessels,
aircraft, and weapons systems, and the
implementation of enhancements to
range infrastructure; and (3) Alternative
2, comprised of Alternative 1 plus
additional increases in training, and
implementation of enhancements that
will optimize training throughput in
support of future contingencies. The
EIS/OEIS will evaluate the
environmental effects associated with:
Airspace; noise; range safety; natural
land resources; water resources; air
quality; biological resources, including
threatened and endangered species;
land use; socioeconomic resources;
infrastructure; and cultural resources.
The analysis will include an evaluation
of direct and indirect impacts, and will
account for cumulative impacts from
other Navy activities in the Range
Complex. No decision will be made to
implement any alternative until the EIS/
OEIS process is completed and a Record
of Decision is signed by the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy (Installations and
Environment).
The Navy is initiating the scoping
process to identify community concerns
and local issues to be addressed in the
EIS/OEIS. Federal agencies, state
agencies, local agencies, and interested
persons are encouraged to provide oral
and/or written comments to the Navy to
identify specific issues or topics of
environmental concern that should be
addressed in the EIS/OEIS. Written
comments must be postmarked by
March 13, 2007 and should be mailed
to: Naval Facilities Engineering
Command, Southeast, Building 135, PO

The Department of Education is
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is
this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this

Abstract: Support for the idea of
developing stronger mathematics
curricula comes from all stakeholders in
education today. Despite the importance
of mathematics education that there
have been a limited number of
interventions that meet the need.
Odyssey Math may be an exception
and is designed to offer opportunities to
engage in more challenging mathematics
in (presumably) interesting contexts.
Despite the promise the intervention
holds, existing studies on Odyssey
Math have not adequately controlled for
threats to the internal validity. The
Regional Education Lab–Mid-Atlantic
plans to remedy that and has designed
a multi-site CRT to evaluate the
effectiveness of Odyssey Math in
improving math scores. This document
presents the Supporting Statement for a
multi-site cluster randomized control
trial (or multi-site CRT) designed to test
the impacts of Odyssey Math Software
in 4th grade classrooms in the MidAtlantic region of the United States (PA,
MD, NJ, DE, DC).
