For example, depositors may be required to submit verification statements for biological materials deposited after the effective filing date of a patent application or written notification that an acceptable deposit will be made. Occasionally a deposit may be lost, contaminated, or is not able to self-replicate, and a replacement or supplemental deposit needs to be made. This information collection includes a required written notification that the depositor must submit to the USPTO disclosing the particulars of such situation and request a certificate of correction by the USPTO authorizing a replacement or supplemental deposit. There are no forms associated with the information collected by the USPTO in connection with the deposit of biological materials, however there are forms available under the Budapest Treaty for use with international depositories. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES B.

ACTION: Notice of intent. AGENCY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District, Wilmington Regulatory Field Office has received a request for Department of the Army (DA) authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act, from the Town of North Topsail Beach to construct a terminal groin and its associated oceanfront fillet placement along approximately 2,000 linear feet of oceanfront shoreline. Additionally, the installation of the terminal groin will be conjunction with the existing May 27, 2011, DA authorization that permitted the Town to relocate the New River Inlet ebb tide channel, conduct maintenance events within the channel, and perform a phased beach nourishment along approximately 11 miles of oceanfront shoreline. The DA authorization for the maintenance operation expires on December 31, 2041. The main purpose of adding the terminal groin is to provide additional shoreline protection of the Town’s infrastructure, specifically along the northeastern end of island. DATES: No comments are requested, so there are no dates applicable to this Notice of Intent. ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this notice may be submitted to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, Regulatory Division. ATTN: File Number: SAW–2016–02091, 69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington, NC 28403 or mickey.t.sugg@usace.army.mil. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about the proposed action and Draft EIS can be directed to Mr. Mickey Sugg, Chief, Wilmington Regulatory Field Office, at telephone (910) 251–4811; email mickey.t.sugg@ usace.army.mil; or regular mail at (see ADDRESSES). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Proposed Action. On May 27, 2011, the USACE granted DA authorization to SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Town of North Topsail Beach to implement a shoreline protection project, which encompassed the relocation of the New River Inlet ebb tide channel and nourishment of approximately 11 miles of the Town’s oceanfront shoreline. This authorization also allowed the Town to conduct channel maintenance dredging to maintain the ebb tide channel within a pre-determined location to improve shoreline protection along the eastern end of the island. The initial construction of the channel relocation was completed in January 2013, but no subsequent maintenance dredging has taken place. Upon the completion of the channel relocation, the Town reevaluated the post-construction conditions and the project’s performance and is currently seeking to supplement the existing inlet management project with the installation of a terminal groin to enhance the oceanfront protection along the most western end of the island. The proposed plans for a terminal groin consist of constructing the structure along the eastern shoulder of the New River Inlet and building the groin’s fillet (or oceanfront shoreline) with material dredged during an inlet channel maintenance event. The terminal groin would consist of a 2,021ft-long sheet pile and rubble-mound structure with several distinct components, including a 345-ft-long sheet pile anchor section extending landward of the primary dune, an 894ft-long sheet pile upland section extending seaward from the primary dune across the inlet/oceanfront dry beach, and a 782-ft-long rubble mound in-water section extending seaward of the MHW line. The anchor and upland sheet pile groin sections would have maximum crest elevations of +5 feet NAVD that are slightly lower than the natural beach berm elevation of +6 ft NAVD. The in-water rubble-mound section, consisting of 4- to 6-ft-diameter granite armor stone, would have a crest elevation of +5 feet NAVD, a crest width of 5 feet, and a base width of ∼40 feet. Conventional land-based heavy equipment would be used to construct both the onshore and in-water groin sections. Construction of the onshore (anchor and upland) sections would involve excavating the groin footprint, installing sheet pile and armor stone scour aprons to design specifications, covering the completed structure with the original excavated material, and grading the work area to reestablish preconstruction beach profiles. Depending on the position of the shoreline, construction of the in-water groin E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM 27FEN1
