the cache memory pages to transfer to
and from level 1 (L1) caching while the
microprocessor pipeline is executing
instructions.
OS information assurance is
implemented in hardware. By extending
Unix file permissions bits down to each
cache memory bank and memory
address, the OSFA provides hardware
level information assurance. OS level
access to cache controller banks is
divided into access layers. Only the OS
has permission to access and modify
permission bits. The OS access layers
also support partitions for a high
reliability microkernel, hypervisors and
full featured OS.
For each software application, a table
sets limits for all OS library function
calls required by the application. Each
library function call has a set of object
limits. Exceeding the limits either
requires higher than user level
privileges or raises an exception.
The full CRADA proposal should
include a capability statement with a
detailed description of collaborators’
expertise in the following and related
technology areas: (1) Microprocessor
design; (2) computer security; (3)
information assurance; (4) collaborators’
expertise in successful technology
transition; and (5) collaborator’s ability
to provide adequate funding to support
some project studies is strongly
encouraged. A preference will be given
to collaborators who shall manufacture
hardware in the United States.
Collaborators are encouraged to
properly label any proprietary material
in their CRADA proposal as
PROPRIETARY. Do not use the phrase
‘‘company confidential.’’

Management Surveys; OMB Control
Number OMB 0710–XXXX.
Needs and Uses: The data obtained
from these surveys are used by the
Army Corps of Engineers to more
effectively provide flood risk
management to communities, residents,
and businesses at risk of flooding. The
data are needed for estimating damage
relationships for factors such as depth of
flooding for different types of buildings
and different occupancies of uses. The
data are also used for estimating other
costs of flooding. Results of surveys will
help communities to better determine
and communicate their flood risks. The
models are also used for programmatic
evaluation of the Corps’s National Flood
Risk Management Program.
Affected Public: Residents, property
owners, businesses, nongovernmental
organizations, Local Governments.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,825.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 36.5
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondents are floodplain residents,
business owners and managers,
managers of private institutions, and
public officials. Most of the respondents
live in or manage facilities that have
been flooded in recent months.

Engineers (USACE) published a Notice
of Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to jointly
analyze the direct, indirect and
cumulative effects of two water supply
projects that were proposed collectively
as the Halligan-Seaman Water
Management Project. USACE has
determined that the two projects will be
separated and independently evaluated
as the Halligan Water Supply Project
EIS and the Seaman Water Supply
Project EIS. Constructing the proposed
Projects would impact jurisdictional
waters of the United States, thereby
requiring Clean Water Act Section 404
permits. The Cities of Fort Collins and
Greeley (Cities) have proposed the
Projects to meet existing and future
water demands during droughts, more
efficiently manage the Cities’ existing or
future water rights, provide some
operational redundancy, and possibly
enhance river functions. The proposed
Projects involve enlarging two existing
reservoirs, Halligan Reservoir and
Milton Seamen Reservoir (Seaman
Reservoir), which would provide
approximately 56,125 acre-feet of
additional storage capacity in the Cache
la Poudre River Basin. The Halligan and
Seaman Water Supply Projects would
both be non-federal projects
constructed, owned and operated by the
Cities.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding the proposed action
and Draft EISs should be addressed to

Army Corps of Engineers, 9307 South

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2006,
the Cities of Fort Collins and Greeley
and six other water providers
(Participants) had originally proposed to
replace the existing dams with new,
larger dams immediately downstream of
the existing Halligan and Seaman dams.
This would have provided 88,592 acrefeet of additional storage capacity. The
Participants were composed of water
providers in the region and included
three water districts collectively known
as the Tri-District including North Weld
County Water District, Fort CollinsLoveland Water District, and East
Larimer County Water District; the City
of Evans; the North Poudre Irrigation
Company; and the Water Supply and
Storage Company. However, six
participants have terminated their
participation in the Halligan and
Seaman water supply projects leaving
Fort Collins and Greeley as the sole
project proponents. The additional
storage capacity needed has accordingly

decreased from 88,592 to 56,125 acrefeet. This smaller amount of needed
storage might be provided by raising the
existing Halligan and Seaman dams
rather than replacing them with larger
new dams immediately downstream.
Water stored in the expanded
reservoirs would address municipal and
industrial water demands as well as
some agricultural demands. Preliminary
analyses by the Cities indicate that the
enlarged reservoirs would fill primarily
during the summer and fall months
from North Fork Poudre River flows.
Seaman Reservoir would also fill via a
pump station on the Poudre River main
stem near the dam site. Small releases
are proposed throughout the year on a
periodic basis to maximize operational
efficiency. The cities anticipate that
both reservoirs would remain mostly
full except during drought periods.
USACE has completed its analysis of
the purpose and need for the two
projects. Alternatives to the Halligan
project have been identified and USACE
is evaluating the impacts of those
alternatives. However, the City of
Greeley has expressed concerns about
USACE-identified alternatives to the
Seaman project. Addressing these
concerns would also delay evaluating
the Fort Collins’ Halligan project.
Several contributing factors including
the differing study schedules led Fort
Collins and Greeley to request that the
two projects be separated and
independently evaluated. USACE
carefully considered the request and
determined that it is appropriate and in
the best interest of all involved to
independently evaluate the two
projects.
The EIS will be prepared according to
the USACE’s procedures for
implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, 42 U.S.C.4332(2)(c), and
consistent with the USACE’s policy to
facilitate public understanding and
review of agency proposals. Scoping as
described in the original Notice of Intent
(February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5250)) was
completed. Although needed storage has
decreased, the scopes of the two projects
and the issues identified in the initial
scoping process remain essentially the
same. Therefore, additional public
scoping meetings are not required. As
part of the EIS process, a full range of
reasonable alternatives including the
proposed Project and no action will be
evaluated.
As two separate projects, the USACE
anticipates completing and releasing the
Draft Halligan Water Supply EIS during
the spring of 2016. The Draft Seaman
Water Supply EIS will be completed at
a later date. Each Draft EIS will be

published for public review and
comments. Public comments will be
considered and addressed in each Final
EIS serving as a basis for the USACE
decision to issue or deny Section 404
Permits to enlarge Halligan and Seaman
reservoirs.
USACE has invited the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S.
Forest Service, Colorado Parks and
Wildlife, Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment, Larimer
County, and Weld County to be
cooperating agencies in preparing the
EISs.
