SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S. Fleet Forces Command is the DoN’s action proponent for the SEIS. NASNI, which is part of Naval Base Coronado, is located in Coronado approximately 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) west, and across San Diego Bay from, downtown San Diego, California. NASNI is a major port for CVNs and a key support location for the West Coast fleet. NASNI and its CVN berthings are critical to the DoN’s presence and military readiness in the Pacific Ocean. The SEIS is being prepared for the limited purpose of supplementing the 1999 FEIS, and subsequent 2008 SEIS, with current circumstances and lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Jun 08, 2023 Jkt 259001 information. The Proposed Action will address modernization of shoreside electrical infrastructure, CVN routine pier-side maintenance actions, and update the environmental effects associated with current mission objectives, which may result in three CVNs being simultaneously in port at Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) for more intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year than analyzed in prior NEPA documents. The 1999 FEIS estimated that, once homeported, three CVNs would be in port simultaneously for an average of 13 intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year. By the time of the 2008 SEIS, that estimate had changed to an average of 29 intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year. That estimate has again changed to address current maintenance, training, and deployment requirements and a SEIS is required to update the environmental analysis based on this updated estimate. Because of the number of variables involved with predicting CVN berthing requirements, the DoN plans to analyze the impacts of an anticipated need for three CVNs to be in port simultaneously for an average of 180 intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year. Although it is considered unlikely that this 180-day scenario would ever occur, the DoN has chosen a conservative average number of intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year in order to ensure a ‘‘hard look’’ at the potential impacts of this ongoing project. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to meet the DoN’s mission requirement to support its West Coast fleet and to maintain military readiness of naval forces for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations at sea to meet the needs of war, now and into the future, consistent with Title 10, Section 8062, of the United States Code. The Proposed Action is needed because (1) CVN-capable berths at NASNI do not currently have the capability to support the DoN’s next generation (FORD-Class) of CVNs (2) current mission objectives (to include operational, deployment, and maintenance schedules) may result in three CVNs in port at NASNI at the same time for more intermittent, nonconsecutive days per year than previously analyzed. The presence of three CVNs may include all three NASNI-homeported CVNs or two NASNI-homeported CVNs and one transient CVN. Transient FORD-Class CVNs may berth at NASNI once deployed on the West Coast. The DoN will evaluate the potential environmental impacts to, but not limited to, the following environmental PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37871 resources: traffic; air quality; socioeconomics; and environmental justice. The scoping process is helpful in identifying public concerns and local issues to consider during the development of the Draft SEIS. Federal, state, and local agencies; federally recognized tribes; and interested persons are encouraged to provide substantive comments to the DoN on environmental resources and issue areas of concern that the commenter believes the DoN should consider. All comments, provided in writing at the scoping meetings, submitted via the DoN website, or mailed, will be taken into consideration during the development of the Draft SEIS. The project website https:// www.nepa.navy.mil/northislandCVNs provides information on the Proposed Action, the NEPA process and project schedule. Additional opportunities for public comment will occur after the release of the Draft SEIS. The DoN intends to publish the Draft SEIS in mid-2024, publish the Final SEIS in spring 2025, and sign a Record of Decision following the 30-day Final SEIS wait period. Dated: June 2, 2023. A.R.

functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4)

    Title of Collection: Report of the Randolph-Sheppard Vending 
Facility Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0009.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 51.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,199.
    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is seeking 
a continuation of this data collection with revisions necessitated by: 
(1) a limited exception to the definition of ``equipment'' in 2 CFR 
200.1; (2) guidance issued by the Rehabilitation Services 
Administration (RSA) with respect to ``Allowable Sources of Non-Federal 
Share for the State Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program;'' (3) 
citation changes made to the definitions contained in the Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements 
for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance); and (4) requests for clarity 
from State licensing agencies (SLAs) regarding which non-Federal 
expenditures incurred for the benefit of the Randolph-Sheppard Vending 
Facilities Program (RSVFP) may be used for satisfying the match and 
maintenance of effort (MOE) requirements under the VR program. This 
proposed information collection request (ICR) also proposes a few other 
technical edits to improve clarity. Current approval for this data 
collection expires February 29, 2024, but is it requested to use the 
new instructions at the start of FY 2024 for FY 2023.
    The Randolph-Sheppard Act (Act), at 20 U.S.C. 107a(6)(a), directs 
the Secretary of Education, through the Commissioner of RSA, to conduct 
periodic evaluations of the programs authorized under the Act. In 
addition, section 107b(4) requires State government entities designated 
as the SLA to ``make such reports in such form and containing such 
information as the Secretary may from time to time require . . ..'' 
Sections 107a(a)(2) and (4) of the Act also require the Secretary of 
Education to ``. . . make annual surveys of concession vending 
opportunities for blind vendors on Federal and other property . . .'' 
and to ``. . . make available to the public . . . information obtained 
as a result of such surveys.'' The information to be collected is a 
necessary component of the data gathering and evaluation process and 
forms the basis for the Randolph-Sheppard Act section of the RSA annual 
report to Congress, which is required by section 13 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) (29 U.S.C. 710). The 
RSA-15 form includes information on the activities under this program 
and is used in monitoring the States' implementation of the program. In 
addition, the fiscal data collected by the RSA-15 highlight the fiscal 
nexus between the RSVFP and VR program in each State, particularly with 
respect to the use of Federal VR
    This information collection (IC) will be implemented upon the 
expiration of the current IC on February 29, 2024; however it is 
requested to begin the use of this form and the new instructions for 
the FY 2023 data collection (October 1, 2023). The RSA-15: Report of 
Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program 1820-0009 is available both 
in hard copy and electronically; however, data will be submitted and 
collected through the RSAMIS on the rsa.ed.gov website by each of the 
51 SLAs.
