Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation Board of Visitors; Meeting, 65300-65301 [2013-25921]

Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 65300 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2013 / Notices activity data at the performance measurement level, thereby reducing burden. Six commenters focused on CNCS’s expectation that programs aim to achieve 100% retention, reliance on data from the portal, and the mechanisms for providing comments on this data. The data in the performance indicator tab (enrollment, retention, 30day enrollment and 30-day exit data) will refresh for each reporting period. In response to comments, CNCS will only require this tab for the end-of-year GPR due in October 2014 and each year thereafter, and the instructions have been updated to reflect this change. CNCS will request an IT enhancement to add a warning to the performance indicators tab that the data cannot be refreshed once it has been populated. CNCS recognizes that retention rates may vary among effective programs depending on the program model. CNCS will continue to request explanations for any retention rate below 100%. Text boxes are provided for grantees to comment on data from the portal that requires explanation. Three commenters focused on requiring explanations for incomplete data (performance indicators and performance measures) in the mid-year GPR. CNCS will not include the performance indicators tab in the midyear GPR. We have updated the instructions for the mid-year GPR with instructions to enter ‘‘NA’’ in the outcome explanation fields as it is a system requirement that some text be entered in these fields. Two commenters focused on changes in the performance measurement data collected. The performance measure section of the new GPR requires no data that was not collected in the old GPR. One commenter suggested that CNCS should collect performance measurement data as percentages rather than numerical values. Whole numbers are required so that data can be aggregated across programs. Five commenters stated that instructions for narrative questions are not clear to state commissions. We have added additional information in the instructions to clarify how state commissions should address the narrative questions.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Wilmington District, Wilmington Regulatory Division is issuing this notice to advise the public that a State of North Carolina funded Supplement Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) has been prepared describing changes since the SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:21 Oct 30, 2013 Jkt 232001 release of the July 2011 DEIS for a road improvement project starting at Military Cutoff Road in New Hanover County to north of Hampstead along US 17, Pender County, NC (TIP Projects U– 4751 and R–3300). The changes which have necessitated this new supplement include an additional interchange on the north end of the project corridor as well as additional lanes not disclosed in the 2011 DEIS published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2011 (76 FR 59122). DATES: Written comments on the Draft EIS will be received until December 16, 2013. ADDRESSES: Mr. Brad Shaver, Regulatory Project Manager, Wilmington Regulatory Field Office, 69 Darlington Ave., Wilmington, NC 28403 or Mr. Jay McInnis, Project Engineer, North Carolina Department of Transportation, 1548 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699–1548. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about the proposed action and DEIS can be directed to Mr. Brad Shaver, COE—Regulatory Project Manager, telephone: (910) 251–4611 or Mr. Jay McInnis Jr., P.E., NCDOT— Project Engineer, telephone: (919) 707– 6029. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The COE in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Transportation prepared a DEIS, originally published in 2011, on a proposal to make transportation improvements to the US 17 and Market Street (US 17 Business) corridor in northern New Hanover and southern Pender Counties. Two North Carolina Department of Transportation Improvement Program (TIPs U–4751 and R–3300) projects are being evaluated as part of the US 17 Corridor Study. The purpose of the US 17 Corridor Study project is to improve the traffic carrying capacity and safety of the US 17 and Market Street corridor in the project area. The project study area is roughly bounded on the west by I–40, on the north by the Northeast Cape Fear River, Holly Shelter Game Lands to the east, and Market Street and US 17 to the south. This project is being reviewed through the Merger 01 process designed to streamline the project development and permitting processes, agreed to by the COE, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Division of Water Quality, Division of Coastal Management), Federal Highway Administration (for this project not applicable), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation and supported by other stakeholder agencies PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65301 and local units of government. The other partnering agencies include: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission; N.C. Department of Cultural Resources; and the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization. The Merger process provides a forum for appropriate agency representatives to discuss and reach consensus on ways to facilitate meeting the regulatory requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act during the NEPA/SEPA decision-making phase of transportation projects. Through input from the public and resource agencies the project has been changed to include a second interchange at the northern terminus. Additionally, the project currently proposes additional travel lanes between a previously proposed interchange south of the Topsail High School and the aforementioned northern interchange. These changes were considered substantial changes which the public has not had input and thus necessitates the development and release of the supplement Draft EIS. The original Draft EIS and new Supplement DEIS is available for review on the project Web page: https:// www.ncdot.gov/projects/ US17HampsteadBypass/. Any person having difficulty in viewing the document online can contact the COE project manager or the NCDOT project manager for a CD copy of the document. After distribution and review of the Supplement Draft EIS and Final EIS, the Applicant understands that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in coordination with the North Carolina Department of Transportation will issue a Record of Decision (ROD) for the project. The ROD will document the completion of the EIS process and will serve as a basis for permitting decisions by federal and state agencies. To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers at the address provided. The Wilmington District will periodically issue Public Notices soliciting public and agency comment on the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action as they are developed.
