Senior Executive Service Performance Review Board, 9329-9330 [2022-03509]

Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2022 / Notices After obtaining ownership of the SEFC E Parcels, the DoN proposes three alternative uses for the acquired property which support the DoN’s AT/ FP requirements and military mission. An EIS is considered the appropriate document for comprehensively analyzing the proposed action to acquire land through an exchange or direct purchase and analyzing potential uses of the proposed acquired land. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to improve the overall WNY AT/FP posture (i.e., increase physical security and antiterrorism mitigation measures), as well as protect mission-critical activities from visual surveillance and acoustic and electronic eavesdropping. The need for the Proposed Action is to protect mission-critical activities conducted at the WNY from encroachment that could result from proposed private development adjacent to the WNY northwest perimeter on SEFC E Parcels, while enhancing the overall safety of personnel, facilities, and infrastructure at the WNY. Comprehensive AT/FP programs that integrate physical security, law enforcement, and emergency management are routinely implemented at military installations across the country. These programs also prepare military installations to plan for, defend against, and respond to terrorist incidents. Periodic evaluations of AT/ FP programs are conducted to determine their effectiveness in mitigating the risk of injury, death, or damage resulting from physical security breaches and terrorist activities at military installations. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic and NAVFAC Washington Structural Engineering and AT/FP Subject Matter Experts performed an AT/FP conformance evaluation of buildings in the northwest area of the WNY. This evaluation informed the DoN that acquisition of the SEFC E Parcels is recommended to protect the buildings in the northwest area of the WNY and the activities it hosts. Additionally, the DoN will analyze alternative uses for the acquired property which support the DoN’s AT/ FP requirements and military mission. The DoN has identified two preliminary action alternatives, each with three sub-alternatives that meet the purpose of and need for the Proposed Action, as well as a no action alternative. Under Alternative 1 (Land Acquisition through Land Exchange), the DoN would enter into a real estate agreement with the owner of the SEFC E Parcel development rights (‘‘developer’’) to acquire the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:54 Feb 17, 2022 Jkt 256001 development rights to the approximately 6.3-acre SEFC E Parcels adjacent to the northwestern perimeter of the WNY. In exchange, the DoN would transfer and/or lease underutilized assets at the southeast corner of the WNY to the developer. Concurrent with this exchange of the development rights and assets, U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) would transfer ownership of the SEFC E Parcels to the DoN through a federal-tofederal transfer. The proposed DoN use of the SEFC E Parcels that would be evaluated includes the following subalternatives: (a) Construct a new National Museum of the United States Navy; (b) incorporate the parcels within the WNY fence line and construct DoN administrative facilities; or (c) incorporate the parcels within the WNY fence line but leave parcels in their current underdeveloped state, with no foreseeable development planned. Under Alternative 2 (Direct Land Acquisition), the DoN would purchase the SEFC E Parcel development rights outright from the developer and obtain the SEFC E Parcels from GSA through a federal-to-federal transfer. No land exchange would occur. The proposed DoN use of the SEFC E Parcels to be evaluated would be the same three subalternatives discussed under Alternative 1. Under the No Action Alternative, the Proposed Action would not occur, and the developer could exercise its development rights to construct several multi-story buildings, up to approximately 110 feet in height, on the SEFC E Parcels. As a result, missioncritical activities would operate inconsistently with AT/FP requirements, and the safety of personnel, facilities, and infrastructure on the WNY adjacent to the SEFC E Parcels would be degraded, thereby threatening national security. Environmental resources to be examined and addressed in the EIS include, but are not limited to: Utilities and Infrastructure; Cultural Resources; Construction Noise; Geological Resources; Air Quality; Water Resources; Land Use/Zoning; Transportation; Socioeconomics; Environmental Justice; Hazardous Materials and Waste; and Cumulative Effects. The EIS will also analyze measures that would avoid or mitigate environmental effects. The DoN will confer or consult with: The U.S. Air Force; White House Communications Agency; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; National Park Service; National Capital Area; National Capital PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9329 Parks—East; DC State Historic Preservation Office; DC Department of Transportation; DC Department of Energy and Environment; DC Office of Planning; National Capital Planning Commission; U.S. Commission on Fine Arts; GSA; Advisory Neighborhood Commissions; Capitol Hill Restoration Society; and Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District regarding this Proposed Action. Identification of other agencies and/or community groups during public scoping is possible. The DoN will conduct all coordination and consultation activities required by the National Historic Preservation Act. The DoN encourages interested persons to submit comments concerning potential alternatives, information and analysis for study in the EIS. Federal and local agencies, and interested persons are encouraged to provide comments to the DoN to identify specific environmental resources or topics of environmental concern that the DoN should consider when developing the Draft EIS. Additionally, the DoN encourages interested persons to submit comments concerning historic resources under Section 106 of the NHPA. All comments received during the public scoping period will be considered during the Draft EIS preparation. Additional opportunities for public comment will occur after the release of the Draft EIS. The DoN anticipates releasing the Draft EIS October 2022, a Final EIS in March 2023, and a Record of Decision by April 2023. Dated: February 15, 2022. J.M.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 9,726. Abstract: The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a cyclical, large-scale study of adult skills and life experiences focusing on education and employment. PIAAC is an international study designed to assess adults in different countries over a broad range of abilities, from simple reading to complex problem-solving skills, and to collect information on individuals’ skill use and background. The U.S. will administer the PIAAC 2022 assessment to a nationally representative sample of adults, along with a background questionnaire with questions about their education background, work history, the skills they use on the job and at home, their civic engagement, and sense of their health and well-being. The results are used to compare the skills capacities of the workforce-aged adults in participating countries, and to learn more about relationships between educational background, employment, and other outcomes. PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and developed by participating countries with the support of the OECD. In the United States, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) conducts PIAAC. NCES has contracted with Westat to administer the PIAAC Cycle II Field Test data collection in the U.S. The United States participated in the PIAAC Main Study data collection in 2012 and conducted national supplement data collections in 2014 and 2017. All three of these collections are part of PIAAC Cycle I, in which 39 countries participated (24 countries in 2012, 9 new countries in 2014, and 5 more new countries in 2017) with close to 200,000 adults assessed across the 39 countries over the three data collections. A new PIAAC cycle is to be conducted internationally every 10 years, and E:\FR\FM\18FEN1.SGM 18FEN1
