classified information; and for
determining the eligibility for access to
classified information of contractors,
licensees, and grantees and their
respective employees. The specific
requirements necessary to protect
classified information released to
private industry are set forth in DoD
5220.22–M, ‘‘National Industrial
Security Program Operating Manual
(NISPOM),’’ dated February 28, 2006.
Respondents must execute DD Form
441, ‘‘Department of Defense Security
Agreement,’’ which is the initial
agreement between the contractor and
the government regarding security
requirements necessary to protect
classified information associated with
the contract. This legally binding
document details the responsibility of
both parties and obligates the contractor
to fulfill the requirements outlined in
DoD 5220.22–M. The DD Form 441–1,
‘‘Appendage to Department of Defense
Security Agreement,’’ is used to extend
the agreement to branch offices of the
contractor. The SF Form 328,
‘‘Certificate Pertaining to Foreign
Interests,’’ must be submitted to provide
certification regarding elements of
Foreign Ownership, Control or
Influence (FOCI) as stipulated in
paragraph 2–302 of the NISPOM.
DSS proposes to make changes to the
DD Form 441 and SF 328. The
requirement for execution of the
corporate ‘‘Certificate’’ section and the
use of a corporate seal is being deleted.
Currently the government does not
require all corporations to execute the
corporate Certificate portion of the
Forms. Only those corporations who are
in possession of a seal were being
required to execute the Certificate.
Corporations that do not have a seal and
other types of businesses structures
such as limited liability companies,
partnership and sole proprietors are
only required to have the signing of the
agreement witnessed. DSS proposes that
a witness is sufficient for all companies
whether or not they are a corporation.
Affected Public: Business, or other
profit and non-profit organizations
under Department of Defense Security
Cognizance.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 12,246.
Number of Respondents: 4,128.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1.5.
Frequency: One time and/or on
occasion (e.g. initial facility clearance
processing, when the respondent
changes: Name, organizational structure,
or address; or there is a material change
pertaining to its Foreign Ownership,
Control or Influence, etc.).

Summary of Information Collection
The execution of the DD Form 441,
441–1 and SF 328 is a factor in making
a determination as to whether a
contractor is eligible to have a facility
security clearance. It is also a legal basis
for imposing NISP security
requirements on eligible contractors.
These requirements are necessary in
order to preserve and maintain the
security of the United States through
establishing standards to prevent the
improper disclosure of classified
information.

Environmental Impact Statement for
Disposition of Hangars 2 and 3, Fort

Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of the Army
announces its intent to conduct public
scoping under the National
Environmental Policy Act to gather
information to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
related to the disposition of Hangars 2
and 3 at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
Hangars 2 and 3 are contributing
elements to the Ladd Field World War
II National Historic Landmark (NHL).
The Department of the Army will use
the analysis in the EIS to determine
which alternative to implement. There
may be significant impacts to historic
properties.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be forwarded to Ms. Carrie McEnteer,
Directorate of Public Works, Attention:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please contact Ms. Linda Douglass,
Public Affairs Office (PAO), IMPC–
FWA–PAO (Douglass), 1060 Gaffney
Road #5900, Fort Wainwright, AK
99703–5900; telephone (907) 353–6701,
email: linda.douglass@us.army.mil.
The
decision to be made by the Army is
regarding the disposition of two historic
aircraft hangars located at Fort
Wainwright. The EIS will assess the
direct, indirect, and cumulative
environmental impacts associated with
various proposed facility disposition
options to meet safety, funding,
facilities management, land use, and
cultural resources management
objectives. The condition of the
facilities warrants a decision on the
disposition that meets the
aforementioned management objectives.
The implementation of the proposed
action would determine the disposition
for the historic hangars. Based on the
decision, a management strategy would
be developed. A range of reasonable
alternatives, including a No Action
Alternative, will be developed and
analyzed in the EIS. Alternatives to be
considered include converting both
hangars to another use, demolishing
both hangars, demolishing one hangar
and retaining one hangar, indefinite
mothballing of the buildings, and
transferring facilities and management
responsibility to another agency. Other
reasonable alternatives raised during the
scoping process and capable of meeting
the project purpose and need and
criteria will be considered for
evaluation in the EIS.
Scoping and public comments: Native
Americans, Alaska Natives, federal,
state, and local agencies, organizations,
and the public are invited to be
involved in the scoping process for the
preparation of this EIS by participating
in scoping meetings and/or submitting
written comments. The scoping process
will help identify possible alternatives,
potential environmental impacts, and
key issues of concern to be analyzed in
the EIS. Written comments will be
accepted within 60 days of publication
of the Notice of Intent in the Federal
Register. Scoping meetings will be held
in Fairbanks, AK. Notification of the
times and locations for the scoping
meetings will be locally published.
