Download as PDF 5074 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 24 / Monday, February 5, 2018 / Notices national, weekly, dual-frame bilingual RDD telephone survey designed to meet standards of quality associated with custom research studies. Each weekly wave of the SSRS Omnibus consists of 1,000 interviews; 600 are obtained with respondents on their cell phones, and approximately 35 interviews are completed in Spanish. The topic of the surveys varies week to week. Interviewers will conduct follow-up recontacts to target specific populations on certain issues. We will use existing data from this sample source to prescreen individuals in the target population (parents of children who are currently 0–5 years old). These targeted households will be re-contacted to administer the proposed survey. Participants will be re-screened at the beginning of the call to make sure that they meet the target criteria and to identify which subset of questions they will be given for the survey. Participation is voluntary and all responses will be kept confidential. B. Burden Hours Each telephone interview will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. We estimate the number of respondents to be 2,200. We estimate the total annual burden hours for respondents to be 726 hours. The monetized hourly cost is $35.28, as defined by the average total hourly cost to employers for employee compensation for employees across all occupations as of June 2017, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Accordingly, we estimate the total annual cost burden to all respondents to be $25,613. (726 hours × $35.28 = $25,613.28.). The total cost to the federal government for the contract to design and conduct the survey issued to FMG under contract number CPSC–D– 16–0002 is $243,593. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, as amended, and codified in 33 U.S.C. 408 (Section 408) provides that the Secretary of the Army may, upon the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, grant permission to other entities for the permanent or temporary alteration or use of any USACE Civil Works project. This requires a determination by the Secretary that the requested alteration will not be PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5075 injurious to the public interest and will not impair the usefulness of the USACE project. USACE is proposing to issue Engineer Circular (EC) 1165–2–220, Policy and Procedural Guidance for Processing Requests to Alter U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Projects Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408, to update processes related to how USACE will review certain requests by others to alter a USACE civil works project. For example, other entities may want to alter a Civil Works project to increase recreational opportunities; improve flood risk management; or construct a road, transmission line, or pipeline across a Civil Works project. The purpose of the Section 408 review is to ensure that the Congressionallyauthorized purpose and benefits of a Civil Works project are protected and maintained (e.g., flood risk management, navigation, coastal storm damage reduction) and to ensure what is being proposed is not injurious to the public interest. An effective and efficient review of proposed alterations to Civil Works projects protects tax payer investments in water resources infrastructure, while ensuring compatibility with new infrastructure, improvements, and other public or private interests. The first comprehensive policy and procedures for evaluation of alterations under Section 408 was issued as EC 1165–2–216 on July 31, 2014. Based on lessons learned from implementing EC 1165–2–216, USACE began the process to revise and update its Section 408 process to clarify applicability, roles and responsibilities, and the basic requirements. From November 2016 through January 2018, USACE issued multiple interim guidance to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Section 408 review process while continuing to work on a full policy revision. USACE has now completed a draft of a new policy document (EC 1165–2– 220) to replace EC 1165–2–216. EC 1165–2–220 would expire two years from issuance, which will provide USACE time consider implementation experience to identify any necessary clarifications or changes. After two years, EC 1165–2–220 will either be revised, rescinded, or converted to an Engineer Regulation, which does not expire. EC 1165–2–220 is intended to consolidate the interim guidance issued since 2016 and update procedures to facilitate a scalable approach to reviewing Section 408 requests in a timely manner while maintaining a national consistent approach to E:\FR\FM\05FEN1.SGM 05FEN1
