Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 207 / Friday, October 24, 2008 / Notices
Housing Annex, East Brunswick Radio
Transmitter Site, and the Sabino Hill
and Small Point Rake Stations. A
separate redevelopment plan has been
prepared for the Topsham Annex and by
separate action, an Environmental
Assessment (EA) will be prepared to
address probable impacts of the
proposed reuse. Sabino Hill will revert
to the previous landowner. As such,
these facilities will not be evaluated in
this EIS.
The proposed action for this EIS is to
provide for the disposal of NAS
Brunswick and its excess properties by
the Navy and its reuse by the Midcoast
Regional Redevelopment Authority
(MRRA) in a manner consistent with the
Brunswick Naval Air Station Reuse
Master Plan (Reuse Plan) prepared by
the Brunswick Local Redevelopment
Authority (BLRA). The plan will be
implemented by MRRA.
The EIS will consider the alternatives
that are reasonable to accomplish the
proposed action. Alternatives to be
considered include: (1) Disposal of the
property by the Navy and reuse by
MRRA in a manner consistent with the
Brunswick Naval Air Station Master
Reuse Plan; (2) disposal of the property
by the Navy and reuse by MRRA in
accordance with a high-density reuse
scenario; and (3) no action, with the
Navy closing NAS Brunswick and
placing it in caretaker status.
Alternative 1 includes the disposal of
NAS Brunswick and its excess
properties by the Navy and its reuse in
a manner consistent with the Reuse
Plan. The Plan provides a mix of land
uses based on existing conditions on the
installation and in the community,
guiding principles for development
established by the LRA, and public
participation. This alternative would
maintain the existing airfield for private
aviation purposes. It is anticipated that
full build-out of the Plan would be
implemented over a 20-year period. The
Reuse Plan calls for the development of
approximately 1,630 acres (51%) of the
total base property.
In addition, approximately 1,570
acres (49%) of the base would be
dedicated to a variety of active and
passive land uses, including recreation,
open space, and natural areas. The plan
reuses the existing airfield and its
supporting infrastructure, provides a
mix of land use types and densities, and
preserves open space and natural areas.
The plan also incorporates elements
based on smart-growth principles,
including pedestrian-friendly
transportation features (e.g., walkable
neighborhoods, bike lanes, and compact
development), open spaces, and a mix
of land use types.

Alternative 2 includes the disposal of
NAS Brunswick and its excess
properties by the Navy and its reuse in
a manner that features a higher density
of residential and community mixed-use
development and does not include reuse
of the airfield. Similar to Alternative 1,
this alternative includes a mix of land
use types, preserves open space and
natural areas, and incorporates elements
based on smart-growth principles,
including pedestrian-friendly
transportation and compact
development. It is anticipated that full
build-out of the high-density scenario
would be implemented over a 20-year
period.
The Reuse Plan calls for the
development of approximately 1,580
acres (49%) of the total base property.
In addition, approximately 1,620 acres
(51%) of the base would be dedicated to
a variety of active and passive land uses,
including recreation, open space, and
natural areas. Although this alternative
would have less developable acres than
the preferred alternative, the density of
residential and community mixed-uses
would be higher.
Alternative 3 is required by NEPA and
will evaluate the impacts at NAS
Brunswick in the event that the property
is not disposed. Under this alternative,
existing mission and support operations
would be relocated; however, the
installation would be retained by the
U.S. government in caretaker status. No
reuse or redevelopment would occur at
the facility. The installation would be
placed in caretaker status.
The EIS will address potential direct,
indirect, short-term, long-term, and
cumulative impacts on the human and
natural environments, including
potential impacts on topography,
geology and soils, water resources,
biological resources, air quality, noise,
infrastructure and utilities, traffic,
cultural resource, land use,
socioeconomics, environmental justice,
and waste management. Known areas of
concern associated with the BRAC
action include impacts on
socioeconomics due to loss of the
military and civilian workforce, impacts
on local housing market and school
system, impacts on local traffic patterns
resulting from reuse scenarios, and the
clean-up of installation remediation
sites.
The DON is initiating the scoping
process to identify community concerns
and issues that should be addressed in
the EIS. Agencies and the public are
encouraged to provide written
comments at scheduled public scoping
meetings. Comments should clearly
describe specific issues or topics that
the EIS should address. Written

Responses: 54,000.
Burden Hours: 8,100.
Abstract: College.gov’s target
audience is 9th–12th grade high school
students with a focus on students from
underrepresented populations. The
purpose for including the account
registration and inspirational message
features in college.gov is to enhance the
interactivity and engagement aspects of
the site. These features are critical for
fully engaging students in the site, for
keeping their interest and attention, and
for providing inspiration and hope to
students (especially to underrepresented
populations) that a postsecondary
education is possible. The features also
support the peer-to-peer aspect of the
site and provide relatable role models of
students ‘‘just like them’’ that can show
that higher education is possible for all
students. Web site users have the option
of registering with college.gov. In order
to register, a user selects the registration
link, inputs six data elements and, after
providing consent to the site’s terms and
conditions, submits that information to

the Department. Once the account
registration process is completed, the
user has the option of creating their own
inspirational message by uploading a
photo and adding their ‘‘I’m Going’’
statement about why they want to
pursue education beyond high school.
The inspirational message (hereafter
‘‘billboard’’) is saved within college.gov
and can be shared with others. After a
user creates a billboard, they can choose
to (1) Have their billboard featured on
college.gov’s home page (visitors can
browse through approved usergenerated billboards); (2) send their
family, friends and other supporters a
link to the college.gov home page with
their billboard; (3) add a tool to their
Facebook profile that displays their
billboard and lets their friends provide
messages of support and
encouragement; or (4) add the billboard
to any of their other Web sites.

In seeking to improve outcomes for
infants, toddlers and children with
disabilities, the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is
designed to ensure that States have
personnel with the necessary skills and
knowledge to service infants, toddlers,
and children with disabilities. The
Office of Special Education Programs’
(OSEP) Personnel Development Program
to Improve Services and Results for
Children with Disabilities (Personnel
Development Program), pursuant to
section 662 of IDEA, provides grants to
institutions of higher education (IHEs)
and other eligible entities, in large part,
to train personnel in the area of special
education with the intent of improving
both the quality and the supply of
qualified special educators. Through
this program, IHEs and other eligible
entities provide scholarships to
individuals who agree to perform a
service obligation for a period of two
years for every year for which assistance
was received. Scholars who do not
satisfy their service obligation or other
applicable program requirements must
repay all or a part of their scholarship
in accordance with the regulations
implementing section 662(h) of IDEA.
The new system of records announced
in this notice is needed to track
scholars’ enrollment, employment, and
fulfillment of the terms of the service
obligation.
DATES: The Department seeks comment
on the new system of records described
in this notice, in accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act. We
must receive your comments on the
proposed routine uses for the system of
records referenced in this notice on or
before November 24, 2008.
The Department filed a report
describing the new system of records
covered by this notice with the Chair of
the Senate Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs, the
Chair of the House of Representatives
Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform, and the
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
