SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Presolicitation notices are used by the
Government for several reasons, one of
which is to aid prospective contractors
in submitting proposals without undue
expenditure of effort, time, and money.
The Government also uses the
presolicitation notices to control
printing and mailing costs. The
presolicitation notice response is used
to determine the number of solicitation
documents needed and to assure that
interested offerors receive the
solicitation documents. The responses
are placed in the contract file and
referred to when solicitation documents
are ready for mailing. After mailing, the
responses remain in the contract file
and become a matter of record.
B. Annual Reporting Burden

Responses Per Respondent: 8.
Annual Responses: 42,480.
Hours Per Response: .08.

Unit Exercises (COMPTUEXs) and Joint
Task Force Exercises (JTFEXs)
scheduled to occur between today and
January 2009.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of
the entire Decision Memorandum is
provided as follows:
On January 10, 2008, the Department
of the Navy (Navy) sought Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) approval
of alternative arrangements pursuant to
40 CFR 1506.11 for implementing the
procedural provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq. (NEPA), for MFA sonar
training during the remaining five
COMPTUEXs and four JTFEXs
scheduled to occur between today and
January 23, 2009, in the Southern
California (SOCAL) Operating Area. On
January 11, 2008, the Navy reaffirmed
its request. On January 15 CEQ
concluded consultation and approved
alternative arrangements pursuant to 40
CFR 1506.11 for implementing the
procedural provisions of (NEPA). This
memorandum documents the Navy’s
decision to accept the alternative
arrangements.
Background
Framework
NEPA: NEPA requires Navy to
undertake an assessment of the
environmental effects of its proposed
actions prior to making decisions. The
CEQ Regulations for Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act provide for
situations when emergency
circumstances make it necessary to
make decisions and take action with
significant environmental impact
without observing the provisions of the
CEQ Regulations (40 CFR § 1506.11).
Specifically, the agency should consult
with CEQ about alternative
arrangements for actions necessary to
control the immediate impacts of the
emergency.
Title 10: The Fleet Response Training
Plan (FRTP) is one of the processes used
to ensure the Chief of Naval Operation’s
(CNO) obligation under Section 5062 of
Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which
requires organization, training and
equipping of all naval forces for combat.
The FRTP is an arduous training cycle
that ensures Navy forces achieve the
highest possible readiness levels prior to
deployment. As part of the FRTP, the
Navy conducts COMPTUEXs and
JTFEXs to achieve required Navy
