SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Personnel Security System
Access Request (PSSAR) Form; DD
Form 2962.
Needs and Uses: JPAS requires
personal data collection to facilitate the
initiation, investigation and
adjudication of information relevant to
DoD security clearances and
employment suitability determinations
for active duty military, civilian
employees and contractors requiring
such credentials. As a Personnel
Security System it is the authoritative
source for clearance information
resulting in accesses determinations to
sensitive/classified information and
facilities. Specific uses include:
Facilitation for DoD Adjudicators and
Security Managers to obtain accurate
up-to-date eligibility and access
information on all personnel (military,
civilian and contractor personnel)
adjudicated by the DoD. The DoD
Adjudicators and Security Managers are
also able to update eligibility and access
levels of military, civilian and
contractor personnel nominated for
access to sensitive DoD information.
Security Managers working in private
companies that contract with DoD and
who need access to the JPAS system to
update security-related information
about their company’s employees must
complete DD Form 2962 to access the
system. Completion of the form assures
JPAS users have the required need-toknow, security clearance, and requires
applicants accept the responsibility to
abide by relevant DoD regulations, laws
and account management policies
necessary to access the system.

Frequency: On occasion.
The Joint Personnel Adjudication
System (JPAS) is a DoD personnel
security system and is the authoritative
source for clearance information
resulting in access determinations to
sensitive/classified information and
facilities. Collection and maintenance of
personal data in JPAS is required to
facilitate the initiation, investigation
and adjudication of information relevant
to DoD security clearances and
employment suitability determinations
for active duty military, civilian
employees, and contractors requiring
such credentials. Security Managers
working in private companies that
contract with DoD and who need access
to the JPAS system to update securityrelated information about their
company’s employees must complete
DD Form 2962 to access the system.
Once granted access, the Security
Managers maintain employee personal
information, submit requests for
investigations, and submit other
relevant personnel security information
into JPAS on over 500,000 contract
employees annually.

from Noyo Harbor. This evaluation will
be conducted in a two-step process: first
a preliminary assessment (PA) will
make projections of the volume of
dredged material, estimate the existing
capacity for placement/disposal of the
material, and verify that continued
maintenance dredging is economically
justified. If it is concluded that
continued maintenance dredging is
justified and that the existing
placement/disposal capacity is not
adequate, then a Dredged Material
Management Plan (DMMP) will be
prepared to identify placement/disposal
sites with adequate capacity for the next
20 years or more of federal and nonfederal maintenance dredging.
DATES: A public meeting will be held on
April 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. (PDT).
Submit comments concerning this
notice on or before May 4, 2015.
ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting
location is the Town Hall, 363 North

concerning this notice to: U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, San Francisco
District, Engineering and Technical
Services Division, ATTN: Mark

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Corps intends to prepare an
Environmental Assessment. The
primary Federal actions under
consideration are dredging, dredged
material placement/disposal, and
transport of dredged material for the
purpose of ocean disposal and/or
upland beneficial reuse. The Noyo
Harbor District is the Non-Federal
Sponsor (NFS). The Environmental
Assessment is intended to be sufficient
in scope to address the Federal, state
and local requirements and
environmental issues concerning the
proposed activities and permit
approvals.
Project Site And Background
Information: Noyo Harbor is on the
Northern California coast about 170
miles North of San Francisco and 130
miles south of Eureka, California. It is
located in unincorporated Noyo
Township, in forested lands
VerDate Sep<11>2014

immediately south of Fort Bragg,
Mendocino County. Noyo Harbor is a
shallow draft navigation project that
supports a U.S. Coast Guard search and
rescue station, commercial and sport
fishing, and recreational boating.
The federal navigation project at Noyo
Harbor consists of two jetties and a
navigation channel leading to an 81⁄2
acre mooring basin. The north jetty is a
345 foot long concrete mass structure
with an armor stone cover and the south
jetty is a 240 foot long concrete wall
founded on rock. The harbor’s opening
faces west. The navigation channel is
authorized to a project depth of 10 feet
mean lower low water (MLLW). It
begins in Noyo Cove, located at the
mouth of the Noyo River and continues
approximately 3,000 feet upriver to the
Noyo mooring basin.
Proposed Action(s): The San
Francisco District, US Army Corps of
Engineers, is evaluating whether there is
sufficient placement/disposal capacity
and economic justification to support
continued maintenance dredging at
Noyo Harbor over the next 20 years or
more of federal and non-federal
maintenance dredging. This evaluation
will be conducted in a two-step process.
First, a preliminary assessment (PA)
will make projections of the volume and
physical and chemical characteristics of
the dredged material, estimate existing
placement/disposal capacity, and verify
that continued maintenance dredging is
economically justified. Second, if it is
determined that continued maintenance
dredging is justified, but that the
existing placement/disposal capacity is
not adequate, then a Dredged Material
Management Plan (DMMP) will be
prepared to identify future placement/
disposal sites for the next 20 years of
dredging.
The existing historic disposal site is
the North Jetty Upland Disposal Site
located just north of the Noyo Harbor
entrance channel and one mile east of
the Highway 1 Bridge. It is a 21⁄2 acre
low-lying area bounded to the north and
east by bluffs and to the south and west
by the harbor and river, respectively.
The site has to be emptied periodically
to accommodate additional material.
Issues: Potentially significant issues
associated with the project may include:
aesthetics/visual impacts, air quality
emissions, biological resource impacts,
environmental justice, geologic impacts
related to seismicity, hazards and
hazardous materials, hydrology and
water quality, noise, traffic and
transportation, and cumulative impacts
from past, present and reasonably
foreseeable future projects.
Scoping Process: The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers is seeking

participation and input of all interested
federal, state, and local agencies, Native
American groups, and other concerned
private organizations or individuals
through this public notice. The purpose
of the public meeting is to solicit
comments regarding the potential
impacts and environmental issues
associated with the proposed action to
be considered. A meeting will be held
on April 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. (PDT).
The final draft PA is expected to be
available for public review and
comment in the summer of 2015.
