Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 12, 2007 / Notices
initiative involves the Army’s transition
from a division-centric design to a
standard brigade organization. The
reshaping of the military force structure
also includes provision for the return of
units currently based overseas to United
States installations as part of the GDPR.
Finally, discretionary stationing actions
(activations, inactivations, realignments,
and relocations) are proposed, which
contribute to and are interrelated with
the transformation process. All BRAC
and other transformation actions will
collectively result in an increase of
approximately 16,600 military, civilian,
student and contractor personnel.
Alternative A would also meet the Army
transformation purpose and need, but it
is not the preferred option due to the
magnitude of impacts on the Redcockaded woodpecker (RCW) (Picoides
borealis), federally-listed endangered
species. The No Action Alternative
would not meet the Army’s purpose and
need for the BRAC 2005 and
transformation actions.
Special consideration was given to the
effects of Alternative A and Alternative
B (the Preferred Alternative) of the
Proposed Action on the natural and
human environment. Mitigation
measures have been adopted to avoid or
minimize environmental harm from the
selected alternative. Mitigation
measures, as described in the ROD, will
be implemented to minimize, avoid, or
compensate for the significant adverse
effects identified in the EIS at Fort
Benning for transportation, noise, water
resources, geology and soils, biological
resources, cultural resources, and safety.
In addition, the Army evaluated
national defense needs, the synergistic
relationship between BRAC, AMF,
GDPR, and stationing actions, as well as
meeting the purpose and need for the
BRAC 2005 recommendations to
include the creation of the Maneuver
Center of Excellence.
The ROD states that implementing the
Preferred Alternative reflects a proper
balance between initiatives for
protection of the environment,
appropriate mitigation, and actions to
achieve the Army’s requirements. There
are no differences in impacts to
resources such as aesthetics and visual,
socioeconomics, transportation,
utilities, noise, hazardous and toxic
materials and waste, utilities, and safety
between Alternatives A and B.
Alternative A does impact fewer acres,
thus disturbing a lesser area of soils
(and indirectly producing less fugitive
dust that impacts air quality). Biological
resources such as vegetation, wildlife,
aquatic habitats, and unique ecological
areas would also be impacted to a lesser
degree, and fewer cultural resources

would be affected. Nevertheless, under
Alternative A there would be a greater
number of RCWs impacted if it were
implemented. In the Biological Opinion,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
concurred that the preferred alternative
is not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the RCW and relict trillium.
Moreover, the Preferred Alternative
does not introduce any greater impacts
to other resources that cannot be
mitigated when compared to Alternative
A.
Dated: December 3, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army

Health).

Title: High School Longitudinal Study
of 2009 (HSLS:09).
Abstract: This is a request for
emergency clearance for field test
sampling. The High School
Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is
the most recent installment in the series
of NCES’ nationally representative
longitudinal studies of high school
students. The HSLS:09 will assess
students in math and science during the
fall of their 9th grade year and again in
the spring of most participating
students’ 11th grade year. The study
will also survey students, their parents,
teachers, guidance counselors, and
school administrators twice during the
secondary school years and follow
students into their postsecondary years.
The study will focus on how students
navigate the transition between high
school and the postsecondary world;
what courses, majors (or first job), and
careers students decide to pursue,
when, why, and how.
Additional Information: To meet the
timeline for the HSLS:09, the
Department is requesting an emergency
clearance. This unanticipated event
occurred since the contract was not
awarded until July 6, 2007. The field
test is slated to begin in Fall of 2008,
which is only a year from now. The fullscale data collection is scheduled to

commence in the Fall of 2009. To
ensure that the study remains on track
and on time, sampling must be
completed in January 2008 and school
recruiting for the field test must begin
by February 2008 at the very latest. The
field test is scheduled to start September
of 2008, and the six-month lead time
should be sufficient for review and
revision of the instruments before we
enter schools.
Frequency: One time.

household; Not-for-profit institutions;
