These launch vehicles would accommodate the desired range of payload masses, would provide the needed trajectory capabilities, and would provide highly reliable launch services. Individual launch vehicles would be carefully matched to the launch requirements of each particular NASA routine payload. In the event that other launch vehicles become available after final publication of this Draft EA, they could be NEPA compliant under this Draft EA if they meet the following criteria: (1) NASA has been a cooperating agency with the Department of Defense (DoD) or FAA on the launch vehicle for that given launch site; (2) NASA has published NEPA documentation for that specific launch vehicle at that specific launch site; or (3) NASA formally adopts another agency’s NEPA documentation. In addition, launch vehicles covered in this Draft EA could be eligible for launch from commercial spaceports or DoD installations not covered by this document if: (1) NASA is a cooperating agency on the NEPA documents developed by the DoD or FAA for that site; (2) NASA formally adopts those NEPA documents as its own pursuant to CEQ regulations; or (3) NASA completes its own NEPA documentation on a specific launch site. For the NASA routine payload missions, the potentially affected environment for normal launches includes the areas at and in the vicinity of the proposed launch sites, CCAFS, Florida, VAFB, California, USAKA/RTS, RMI, WFF, Virginia, and KLC, Alaska. Because propellants are typically the largest contributors to potential environmental impacts of a NASA Routine Payload launch, the total propellant load for a payload is considered in this Draft EA. If the payload propellant load exceeds the EPC defined in the Draft EA, then additional NEPA analysis and documentation would be required. For normal launches of NASA routine payloads under the proposed action, the environmental impacts would be associated principally with the exhaust emissions from the launch vehicles. These effects would include short-term impacts on air quality within the exhaust cloud and near the launch pads, and the potential for acidic deposition on the vegetation and surface water bodies at and near each launch complex, particularly if a rain storm occurred. NASA routine payload processing and launch activities would not require any additional permits or VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:33 Aug 22, 2011 Jkt 223001 mitigation measures beyond those already existing, or in coordination, for launches. There are no direct or substantial environmental impacts, including cumulative impacts, associated with the proposed action that have not already been covered by NEPA documentation for the existing launch sites, launch vehicles, launch facilities, and payload processing facilities.

partners from a number of agencies. Each year, nine DFC grantees will 
be evaluated and the information from the case studies will be shared

    Type of Information Collection: Web-based data collection, surveys 
and interviews of DFC and Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking 
(STOP) Act grantees.
    Title: Drug Free Communities Support Program National Evaluation.
    Frequency: Semi-annually by DFC and Stop Act Program Directors via 
COMET, and annually for DFC Program Directors and selected coalition 
members via the CCT. Interviews and electronic surveys of Program 
Directors and electronic surveys of selected coalition members will be 
accomplished one time.
    Affected Public: DFC and STOP Act grantees.
    Estimated Burden: ONDCP expects that the time required to complete 
each semi-annual report via COMET will be approximately five hours, and 
each CCT report will take approximately one hour to complete. Face to 
face interviews will take 1.5-2 hours and surveys will take 
approximately .25 hours each to complete. The estimated total amount of 
time required by all respondents over one year, including Program

Federal government with the expertise, system, functions, and products 
to collect, analyze, and report data collectively, and (2) regularly

    Comment Request: ONDCP especially invites comments on: whether the 
proposed data are proper for the functions of the agency; whether the 
information will have practical utility; the accuracy of ONDCP's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and, ways to ease the burden on proposed respondents, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. Comments will be accepted for thirty days.
