On July 9, 1997, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
announced its intent to prepare a joint
Draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, for the
Proposed Navigation Improvement
Project at Maalaea Harbor, Maui,
Hawaii. The Maalaea Harbor project,
sponsored by USACE and the State of
Hawaii, Department of Land and
Natural Resources, Division of Boating
and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR), was
originally authorized under Section 101
of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1968,
as amended. The Draft SEIS would have
evaluated the environmental impacts of
potential alternatives to address
navigational safety and surge-related
problems in Maalaea Harbor.
Based on careful consideration of the
implementation costs, regulatory
requirements, and other concerns
expressed by the community, the
navigation improvement project for the
Maalaea Harbor has been terminated by
the project sponsors. Therefore, future
preparation of an EIS is not necessary.
The notice of intent to prepare an EIS
is withdrawn and the NEPA process is
hereby terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was
investigating navigation improvements
at Maalaea Harbor, Maui, Hawaii,
originally authorized in 1968. The local
sponsor of the project was the State of
Hawaii, Department of Land and
Natural Resources, Division of Boating
and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR). Over
the course of time, a variety of
alternative project designs, including

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Notices
both external and internal breakwater
structures were investigated to address
the navigational safety and surge-related
problems. However, concerns over
impacts to adjacent surf breaks and
biological resources were raised on
several occasions, resulting in multiple
delays in the planning process. Most
recently, USACE and DOBOR reinitiated the project in 2009, with a
focus on using stakeholder input and
updated technical information to better
define and inform the planning process.
Through this effort, the decision to
terminate the project was made based
on careful consideration of the high cost
associated with the proposed
improvements (particularly in light of
the current and foreseeable economic
conditions), the regulatory constraints
and mitigation requirements for
unavoidable impacts to coral reefs, and
community concerns regarding impacts
to surf sites and natural resources.
A variety of technical studies and
planning documents were produced in
support of the project, including
flushing studies, habitat surveys, and
wave response modeling. The public
may request copies of reports. The
public will be notified of the
termination of the project through a
public notice, as well as a press release
by the project sponsors. The press
release will be published on the project
Web site and posted at Maalaea Harbor.

Proposed Priority; Technical
Assistance on State Data Collection,
Analysis, and Reporting—National
IDEA Technical Assistance Center on
Early Childhood Longitudinal Data
Systems; CFDA Number 84.373Z
The Assistant Secretary for
Special Education and Rehabilitative
Services proposes a priority under the
Technical Assistance on State Data
Collection program. The Assistant
Secretary may use this priority for
competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2012
and later years. We take this action to
focus attention on an identified national
need to provide technical assistance
(TA) to States to improve their capacity
to meet the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) data collection,
analysis, and reporting requirements.
We propose to assist States in
developing or enhancing statewide early
childhood longitudinal data systems, by
which we mean data systems that
include child-level data for infants,
toddlers, and young children with
disabilities (birth through age 5) served
through early childhood programs
under IDEA Part C and Part B preschool
programs. These statewide early
childhood longitudinal data systems
