and SDDC Military Class Rate
Publication No. 100A.
Background: SDDC’s various rules
publications have gone through many
revisions and updates since its
inception. With various subject matter
owners within SDDC being responsible
for the publication, attempts to update
the publications proved cumbersome.
To make the update and revision
process more efficient, SDDC has
consolidated its rules publications into
one document that is applicable to all
surface modes. This also places the
responsibility of maintaining the
publication with one Publications
Team.
The current procurement procedures
were developed during a period of
extensive economic regulation of the
various transportation modes. The
purpose behind the consolidation,
revision, and change to these various
modal procurement documents was to
ensure the procurement procedures
reflect the current transportation needs
of the DOD as well as the state of the
commercial transportation industry. It
also streamlines documentation and
procedures, as well as standardizes
procurement terms as much as possible
between the various transportation
modes.

other SDDC publications, can be

Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Morehead City Harbor Project,
Dredged Material Management Plan,
Carteret County, NC
AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: The Wilmington District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is
conducting a study to evaluate the longterm (20-year) dredged material
placement needs and opportunities for
Morehead City Harbor, NC. The study
area encompasses Morehead City Harbor
and the Ocean Bar approach channels
extending seaward to deep water
through Beaufort Inlet in Carteret
County, near Morehead City, NC. The
study will include the preparation of an
integrated (combined) Dredged Material
Management Plan (DMMP) and Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
and will identify, evaluate, screen,
prioritize, and ultimately optimize
placement alternatives resulting in the
recommendation of a plan for the
placement of dredged materials for at
least the next 20 years.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding the DMMP and
DEIS should be directed to: Mr. Stacy
Samuelson; Environmental Resources
Section; U.S. Army Engineer District,
Wilmington; 69 Darlington Avenue;
Wilmington, NC 28402–1890;
telephone: (910) 251–4480.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USACE, Engineering Regulation (ER)
1105–2–100 mandates that the Corps
Districts develop DMMPs for all Federal
navigation projects where there is an
indication of insufficient capacity to
accommodate maintenance dredging for
the next 20 years. The ER further
requires that the Districts consider
options that provide opportunities for
beneficial uses of dredged material.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, options for dredged material
management will be based on an
evaluation of the probable impact of the
proposed activity on the public interest.
The decision will reflect the national
concern for the protection and
utilization of important resources. The
benefit, which may reasonably be
expected to accrue from the proposal,
will be balanced against its reasonably
foreseeable detriments. All factors that
may be relevant to the proposal will be
