Download as PDF 13362 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 48 / Friday, March 11, 2011 / Notices srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Additions On 1/14/2011 (76 FR 2673–2674), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notices of proposed additions to the Procurement List. Comments were received from the incumbent contractor opposing adding these services to the Procurement List (PL). The contractor commented that the addition of these services to the PL would result in severe adverse impact to his company. The contractor also questioned whether the particular services identified in this requirement would be suitable or appropriate for a nonprofit agency employing individuals who are blind or severely disabled and whether such a nonprofit would be capable of performing the services. The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee) administers the AbilityOne® program under the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act. Committee responsibilities include identifying products and services produced or provided by qualified nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or severely disabled that the Committee determines are suitable for procurement by the Government. Prior to adding any project to the PL, the Committee reviews each project for suitability, employment potential, nonprofit agency qualifications and level of impact on the current contractor. The Committee reviews financial information provided by current contractors to determine whether severe adverse impact will occur if a project is added to the PL. The Committee did so in this instance and disagrees with the contractor’s assertion that the addition of this project to the PL will result in severe adverse impact to the contractor company. The Committee also reviewed the specific requirements of this project and determined that this project is suitable for performance by a nonprofit agency employing people who are blind or severely disabled. Placing this project on the PL will result in employment and training opportunities for people with severe disabilities. Accordingly, following a deliberative review of the facts of this project, the Committee determines that this project is appropriate for the AbilityOne Program and will be added to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractor, the Committee has determined that the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:08 Mar 10, 2011 Jkt 223001 services listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51– 2.4.

ACTION: Notice of intent. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (USACE) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of a project proposed by the Mississippi State Port Authority (MSPA). As part of the NEPA process, the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) will be a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has expressed interest in acting as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS. The proposed project as described in the application filed on March 17, 2010, proposed filling approximately 700 acres of open-water benthic habitat. Since submittal of the application, the proposed project footprint has been modified by the MSPA to reduce the overall potential fill required for implementation and to not include any impacts to the Gulfport Harbor Federal Navigation Channel or Turning Basin. The currently proposed project involves filling of up to 400 acres of open-water bottom in the Mississippi Sound, the construction of wharfs, bulkheads, terminal facilities, container storage areas, intermodal container transfer facilities, dredging and dredged material disposal and infrastructure, and construction of a breakwater of approximately 4,000 linear feet. The proposed expanded port facility will be elevated 25 feet above sea level to provide protection against future tropical storm surge events. The EIS will evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed project, connected actions, and alternatives. The SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\11MRN1.SGM 11MRN1
