Smith Cove Preservation Trust, Civil Action No. 1:17–CV–00009– JDL In this action, the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), sought injunctive relief for remedial cleanup and recovery of response costs against Smith Cove Preservation Trust (‘‘Settling Defendant’’), the current owner of the approximately 120-acre former Callahan Mine property at the Callahan Mine Superfund Site in Brooksville, Maine (‘‘Site’’). The complaint seeks relief under to Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607. The State of Maine (‘‘Maine’’) has asserted parallel claims under CERCLA and related State provisions and is a coplaintiff to the proposed Consent Decree.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Summary of Draft Strategy Smart Cities and Communities Federal Strategic Plan: Exploring Innovation Together Motivated by a vision of ubiquitous, smart infrastructure, systems, and services, many cities and communities view advances in networking and information technology as a way to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality of life for their residents. They seek to become ‘‘smart cities’’ and ‘‘smart communities’’ by embedding new digital technologies into their infrastructure, systems, and services to enhance existing, and develop new, city/community resources. Smart city/community solutions are intended to enable new capabilities and opportunities—all in the face of limited budgets. The possible applications are numerous: Citizen services, smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, and remote healthcare, to name a few. Although information technology promises enormous public benefits, it also introduces new challenges. These challenges range from technical to ethical, legal, and social, including cybersecurity, data sharing and analysis, privacy, public health and well-being, workforce and education needs, and cultural and socioeconomic considerations. Addressing these challenges requires new forms of crosssector and cross-government collaboration, experimentation, knowledge sharing, and alignment. This strategic plan offers a high-level framework to guide and coordinate smart city/community-related Federal initiatives, with an emphasis on local government and stakeholder engagement. Coordinating efforts across Federal agencies should help accelerate the development of smart city/ community solutions that maximize the value of investments and optimize benefits to residents. The Central Goals that motivate this strategy are to: • Understand local needs and local goals; • Accelerate smart city/community innovation and infrastructure development; • Facilitate cross-sector collaboration and bridge existing silos; • Boost exports and promote U.S. global leadership; and The National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD), National Science Foundation.

A key objective of this plan is to identify priorities for federally funded research and development (R&D) as well as capacity-building to help transform our cities and communities and improve our standards of living. To do so, the Strategic Priorities identified herein are to: • Accelerate fundamental R&D for smart cities/communities; • Facilitate secure and resilient infrastructure, systems, and services for smart cities/communities; • Foster smart cities/communities through data and knowledge sharing, best practices, and collaboration; and • Enable evaluation of progress and long-term growth of smart cities/ communities. This plan envisions Federal agencies working together and engaging with local leaders, academia, industry, civil society, and other key stakeholders. The aim is to accelerate the development and implementation of new discoveries and innovations that in turn enable cities and communities to achieve local goals and address their most important challenges. Therefore, the Next Steps recommended in this strategic plan include, through the Smart Cities and Communities Task Force, promoting interagency coordination and collaboration; engaging cities/ communities to collect feedback on and enable continued refinement of this strategic plan and future efforts; and developing a roadmap for specific Federal actions to execute the Strategic Priorities presented here. Questions for Commenters The Smart Cities and Communities Task Force invites comments on the draft strategic plan. In particular, commenters should consider the following questions as they develop their responses: • Are the central goals appropriate and/or are there other goals that should be considered? • Are the strategic priorities appropriate and/or are there other priorities that should be considered? • Are the next steps identified in the draft plan appropriate and/or are there others that should be considered?
