Program’’ requires the Department of
Defense to account each year for the
costs associated with implementation of
the National Industrial Security Program
and report those costs to the Director of
the Information Security Oversight
Office (ISOO). In furtherance of this
requirement, and pursuant with 32 CFR,
Subpart F, section 2001.61(b); Classified
National Security Information; Final
Rule, the Secretary of Defense, acting as
executive agent for NISP, is obligated to
collect cost estimates for classificationrelated activities of contractors,
licensees, certificate holders, and
grantees and report them to ISOO
annually. The cost collection
methodology employed since 1996 was
validated with the ISOO in December
2007. Participation in the survey is
strictly voluntary. Input is integrated
into total cost figure for the President
and is never associated with a specific
facility.
Affected Public: A statistical sample
of active and cleared businesses, or
other profit and non-profit organizations
under Department of Defense Security
Cognizance, approved for storage of
classified materials.
Annual Burden Hours: 125 hours.
Number of Respondents: 749.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 749.
Average Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Frequency: Annually.
Collection of this data is required to
comply with the reporting requirements
of Executive Order 12829, ‘‘National
Industrial Security Program.’’ This
collection of information requests the
assistance of the Facility Security
Officer to provide estimates of annual
security labor cost in burdened, current
year dollars and the estimated
percentage of security labor dollars to
the total security costs for the facility.
Security labor is defined as personnel
whose positions exist to support
operations and staff in the
implementation of government security
requirements for the protection of
classified information. Guards who are
required as supplemental controls are
included in security labor. This data
will be incorporated into a report
produced to ISOO for the estimated cost

ACTION: Public notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) has prepared a
Supplemental Information Report (SIR)
to provide an update to the General Reevaluation Report/Environmental
Impact Statement (GRR/EIS) for the
Berryessa Creek Element of the Coyote
and Berryessa Creek, California, Flood
Control Project (Project), that the Corps
may be invoking the Clean Water Act
(CWA) § 404(r) exemption. The Project
initially sought to obtain a water quality
certification from the Regional Water
Quality Control Board, San Francisco
Region (RWQCB) pursuant to the CWA
§ 401(a) (401 Certification). During the
course of extensive coordination over
the last six months, the RWQCB has
stated that it may be unable or unwilling
to issue a 401 Certification for the
Project. Therefore, in an effort to
preserve the ability to improve flood
risk management in this area without
excessive delay, the Corps may invoke
404(r) exemption in lieu of obtaining a
401 Certification from the RWQCB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
March 2014 Final GRR/EIS of the
Project, and its accompanying CWA
§ 404(b)(1) alternatives analysis,
recommended the proposed design of a
earthen trapezoidal channel section
with varying bottom width and 2H:1V
side slopes that provides protection
against the one-percent annual chance
exceedance flood event from I–680 in
San Jose to Calaveras Boulevard in
Milpitas (hereinafter ‘‘Project’’). These
environmental analyses determined the

Project to be the National Economic
Development Plan (NED), the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
environmentally preferable alternative,
the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) § 15126.6(e)(2)
environmentally superior alternative,
and the CWA § 404 Least Environmental
Damaging Practicable Alternative
(LEDPA). The Corps’ Director of Civil
Works signed the Record of Decision
(ROD) on May 29, 2014.
With the goal of promoting
partnership, it has been the Corps’
position to obtain 401 Certification for
all its projects, regardless of the
availability of 404(r) exemption.
However, if the RWQCB is unable or
unwilling to provide such a certification
then the Corps will initiate 404(r)
exemption procedures and acknowledge
this in the appropriate NEPA document,
which has been determined to be an
SIR.
Section 404(r) creates an exemption
from the water quality certification
requirement under Section 401(a) for
projects (1) specifically authorized by
Congress for which (2) an
environmental impact statement has
been created that (3) includes
consideration of the 404(b)(1)
guidelines, which (4) has been
transmitted to Congress prior to the
appropriation of construction funds.
Congress authorized construction of the
Project in the Water Resources
Development Act of 1990, Public Law
101–640, § 101(a)(5), 103 Stat. 4604
(1990) and as stated above, the Corps
completed the GRR/EIS in March 2014.
The 404(b)(1) Alternatives Analysis was
included in the GRR/EIS as Appendix
A: Part V. With the completion of this
SIR, the Corps will officially transmit
the updated GRR/EIS to Congress prior
to the appropriation of construction
funding. Once done, the Corps will have
met all the requirements to utilize 404(r)
exemption.
The Corps is confident that the Project
is fully conforming to all Federal and
State laws, regulations, and
requirements. In the absence of RWQCB
issuing a 401 Certification, the Corps
may use 404(r) exemption. In light of
the fact that the Project meets all
requirements of 404(r) exemption
without any modifications, there are no
substantial changes or new significant
circumstances or information that
would trigger the need for a supplement

Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Nebraska Highway 12 Niobrara
East and West Project, Knox County,
NE
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
DoD.
ACTION:
Notice of availability.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), Omaha District, has
prepared a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to analyze the direct,
indirect and cumulative effects of a
proposed Nebraska State Highway
project, Nebraska Highway 12 Niobrara
East and West Project by the Nebraska
Department of Roads (NDOR). The
Applied-for Project is the relocation and
elevation (including additional bridges)
of two segments of existing Nebraska
Highway 12 (N–12) that are frequently
flooded and have incurred damage due
to high water levels associated with the
Missouri River.
DATES: Written comments on the Draft
EIS will be accepted on or after October
9, 2015, through November 23, 2015.
Oral and/or written comments may also
be presented at the Public Hearing to be
held at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, November
9, 2015, at the Niobrara Secondary
School, located at 247 NE–12, Niobrara,
NE 68760.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Draft EIS is to provide a
full and fair discussion of the Appliedfor Project and other reasonable
alternatives to inform decision makers
and the public of the environmental
impacts of the Applied-for Project and
the reasonable alternatives. NDOR has
submitted a Section 404 (Clean Water
Act) permit application containing a
roadway design for Alternative A7 (the
Applied-for Project) to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps). NDOR
proposes to relocate N–12 east and west
of Niobrara, NE., south of its existing
location and construct a new roadway at
a higher elevation with enhanced
bridged sections to withstand existing
and future flood events. The segment of
N–12 that is in the bluffs, including the
segment that goes through the Village of
Niobrara, will remain the same. Two
segments of N–12 within the existing
Missouri River floodplain would be
relocated. The west segment is
approximately 6.2 miles long and
extends from just east of Verdel,
Nebraska, on the west end to 2 miles
west of the bridge over the Niobrara
River. The Applied-for Project would
deviate from the existing alignment just
east of Ponca Creek and would rejoin
the existing alignment just north of
County Road 892. The east segment is
approximately 6 miles long and extends
from just east of Spruce Avenue in
Niobrara, NE., to approximately 1 mile
east of Spur 54D (S–54D). In the east
segment, the alignment would deviate
from the existing alignment east of 4th
Avenue in Niobrara, NE., and would
reconnect with existing N–12 at
approximately S–54D. A new
connection to the Chief Standing Bear
Memorial Bridge (N–14) and SD–37
would be developed, tying into the
existing Highway 14 connection (which
will be elevated as part of the project).
Once the roads are completed, the
existing N–12 roadway would be
removed to the existing ground level. In
addition to the Applied-for Project, the
Draft EIS analyzes three alternatives: (1)
Elevation Raise on Existing Alignment,
(2) Elevation Raise on Parallel
Alignment, (3) Base of Bluffs Alignment.
