Intent To Prepare a Supplemental Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Nebraska Highway 12 (N–12)
Niobrara East and West Project
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is preparing a
Supplemental Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (SDEIS) to analyze the
direct, indirect, and cumulative effects
of a proposed transportation project, the
Niobrara East and West Project.
Construction of the proposed Project is
expected to result in temporary and
permanent impacts to jurisdictional
waters of the United States, thereby
requiring a Clean Water Act section 404
permit proposed by the Nebraska
Department of Transportation (NDOT).
NDOT proposes to rehabilitate two
segments of N–12 east and west of
Niobrara, between Verdel and Santee
Spur 54–D (S–54D) in Knox County,
Nebraska. A Draft EIS for this project
was released on October 9, 2015. A
public open house and hearing was held
on November 9, 2015. After the public
comment period ended, NDOT elected
to withdraw its Section 404 permit
application on November 20, 2015.
Since that time, NDOT has developed a
modified project purpose and need, and
alternatives responsive to this purpose
and need.
DATES: Written comments for scoping
will be accepted until May 24, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Questions and comments
regarding the proposed action and
SDEIS should be addressed to Becky
Latka, Regulatory Field Support, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, 1616 Capitol
Ave., Omaha, NE 68102.

the existing roadway and to maximize
utilization of existing transportation
infrastructure and right-of-way, to
improve the safety and reliability of the
roadway, and bring the roadway up to
current NDOT design standards for a
major arterial highway. The project is
needed due to ongoing risk of flooding,
unreliable operations, and interruptions
to regional connectivity.
The Corps is requesting scoping
comments on the Project, preliminary
alternatives, the NEPA compliance
process, and to solicit input on the
issues and alternatives to be evaluated
and other related matters. Additional
information and links related to the EIS
can be found at https://www.nwo.
usace.army.mil/Missions/RegulatoryProgram/Nebraska/EIS-Highway-12/.
The Corps has invited the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
National Park Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Federal Highway
Administration, and Knox County to
continue as cooperating agencies in the
formulation of the EIS. Additionally, the
Corps has invited the Nebraska
Department of Environmental Quality
and the Nebraska Department of Game
and Parks to continue to serve as
participating agencies during the
preparation of the EIS.
The SDEIS will be prepared according
to the Corps’ procedures for
implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c),
and consistent with the Corps’ policy to
facilitate public understanding and
review of agency proposals. As part of
the EIS process, a full range of
reasonable alternatives, including the
proposed Project and no action, will be
evaluated.

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The
Comprehensive Literacy State
Development (CLSD) program awards
competitive grants to advance literacy
skills, through the use of evidence-based
practices, activities and interventions,
including pre-literacy skills, reading,
and writing, for children from birth
through grade 12, with an emphasis on
disadvantaged children, including
children living in poverty, English
learners (as defined in this notice), and
children with disabilities (as defined in
this notice).
Background: The fiscal year 2019
competition for new CLSD awards fully
transitions the program to the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, as amended by the Every
Student Succeeds Act (ESEA). We have,
therefore, focused this year’s
competition very closely on the
requirements in the statute. In addition,
we have included two competitive
preference priorities that highlight key
policy ideas on which we would like to
see States focus their literacy plans or
encourage eligible subgrant applicants
to focus their local literacy plans. First,
we give competitive preference to
projects that would include evidencebased family literacy strategies as a key
