sites ranges and support facilities in
locations that reflect the proper balance
of initiatives for the protection of the
environment, mission needs, and
Soldier and Family quality of life
considerations.
ADDRESSES: To request a copy of the
ROD, please contact Mr. Charles
Walden, Project Manager, Directorate of
Public Works, Prevention and
Compliance Branch, Environmental
Division, 1550 Frank Cochran Drive,
Building 1137–A, Fort Stewart, Georgia
31314–4928 or e-mail
Charles.Walden4@us.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Kevin Larson, Public Affairs Office, at
(912) 435–9879 during normal business
hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
decision to proceed with the
implementation of Alternative B allows
the Army to better accomplish its
sustainability goals on Fort Stewart
because the sites are optimal for design,
lessen environmental impacts, and are
more land-use compatible. Minor to
negligible impacts have been identified
for cultural resources and consultation
with the Georgia State Historic
Preservation Office is complete.
Moderate adverse impacts have been
identified for soils, water quality,
protected species, timber resources,
wildland fire, and noise as part of
implementing the decision. There are no
practicable alternatives to locating the
projects in wetlands or floodplains, but
the selected alternative minimizes
floodplain and wetland impacts. There
will be moderate adverse impacts to
protected species (red-cockaded
woodpecker and frosted flatwood
salamander). Formal consultation with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is
complete and all practicable mitigation
measures and best management
practices will be implemented to offset
environmental impacts. The action will
not jeopardize the continued existence
of these species. The Known Distance
Range, a Qualification Training Range,
an Infantry Squad Battle Course, a Fire
and Movement Range, and a 25 Meter
Zero Range were analyzed as part of the
proposed action in the Environmental
Impact Statement, but have been
deferred due to funding. These five
ranges have been included in the ROD
because they may be funded in the
future. Mitigation associated with these
ranges will be implemented in the event
the ranges are constructed. The No
Action Alternative would not provide
enough ranges and support facilities
needed to adequately accomplish the

mission. Alternative C, with different
range and support facility sitings than
Alternative B, would result in greater
adverse environmental impacts and is
not preferred operationally.

Abstract: The Secretary has amended
title 34 of the Code of Federal
Regulations by adding a new part 462
that establish procedures the Secretary
uses when considering the suitability of
tests for use in the National Reporting
System (NRS) for adult education. The
regulations further the Department’s
implementation of section 212 of the
Adult Education and Family Literacy
Act (AEFLA). These regulations also
include procedures that States and
Local eligible providers would follow
when using suitable tests. The AEFLA
makes accountability for results a
central focus of the law. It sets out
performance accountability
requirements for States and Local
programs that measure program
effectiveness on the basis of student
academic achievement and other
outcomes.
Educational gain is the key outcome
measure in the NRS, which describes
students’ improvement in literacy skills
during instruction. States are required to
have their local programs assessments

gained by administering standardized
pre-post assessments to students,
following valid administration
procedures. The NRS Guidelines allow
states to select the assessments most
appropriate for their state, which may
be published standardized tests or
performance-based assessments. If the
state uses performance-based
assessments, NRS guidelines require the
assessment to have standardized
procedures and scoring rubrics that
meet accepted psychometric standards.
