North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive
Study
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of Study Initiation.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Congressional response
to the devastation in the wake of
Hurricane Sandy included a mandate to
collaborate with federal, state, tribal and
local government agencies to regionally
address the vulnerability of coastal
populations at risk within the
boundaries of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) North Atlantic
Division. The goals of the North Atlantic
Coast Comprehensive Study authorized
under the Disaster Relief Appropriations
Act, Public Law 113–2, are to (1) reduce
flood risk to vulnerable coastal
populations, and (2) promote coastal
resilient communities to ensure a
sustainable and robust coastal landscape
system, considering future sea-level rise
and climate change scenarios. In
addition, the Comprehensive Study will
identify activities warranting further
analysis and institutional barriers to
comprehensive implementation. A draft
of the North Atlantic Coast
Comprehensive Study will be available
for public review and comment in early
2014 and a final report is due to
Congress in January 2015. The study
will identify those areas warranting
more detailed evaluations; however,
USACE is not authorized to develop
designs or implement such projects at
this time. Although potential
environmental impacts will be generally
evaluated, National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) compliance
processes will not be completed due to
the scale of the study. Full NEPA and
other environmental compliance would
be required as part of future detailed
evaluations before any actions could be
implemented.

approximately 31,000 miles of shore
and coastline, planning level cost
estimates and anticipated risk reduction
and benefits per measure. The
Comprehensive Study will also include
storm suite modeling, coastal GIS
analyses, economic evaluations, an
assessment of green infrastructure and
ecosystem goods and services, regional
sediment management and climate
change and sea-level rise
considerations. Additional information
and a study area map may be found at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Streamlined
Clearance Process for Discretionary
Grant.
OMB Control Number: 1894–0001.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of an existing collection of
information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1.
Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the
PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director
authority to approve the streamlined
clearance process proposed in this
information collection request. This
information collection request was
originally approved by OMB in January
of 1997. This information collection
streamlines the clearance process for all
discretionary grant information
collections which do not fit the generic
application process. The streamlined
clearance process continues to reduce
the clearance time for the U.S.
Department of Education’s (ED’s)

discretionary grant information
collections by two months or 60 days.
This is desirable for two major reasons:
it would allow ED to provide better
customer service to grant applicants and
help meet ED’s goal for timely awards
of discretionary grants.
