khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Notices
includes dredging and placement of an
anticipated 3.5–4.5 million cubic yards
of dredged material for the required
widening and deepening of the existing
access channel and turning basin. The
project dredging includes widening and
deepening an existing access channel/
turning basin, and connection into the
Brewerton Federal Navigation channel.
The proposed project plan also includes
the construction of an offshore Dredged
Material Containment Facility (DMCF)
in the Patapsco River on the west side
of Coke Point to provide placement
capacity for dredged material. An
offshore DMCF to provide capacity for
the total anticipated dredged material
volume would permanently fill
approximately 100 acres of tidal waters
of the United States. As part of the EIS
process, the Corps will consider
minimization measures for dredging and
a combination of alternatives for
dredged material placement.
The project includes a proposed
compensatory mitigation plan. The
compensatory mitigation plan is under
development and will be completed as
part of the development of the EIS.
2. Location. The project site is located
within the Tradepoint Atlantic
development on the Coke Point
peninsula in the Patapsco River,
Sparrows Point, Baltimore County,
Maryland. [Latitude: 39.211222° and
Longitude: ¥76.490349°]
3. Project Purpose. To develop
Sparrows Point Container Terminal
(SPCT), a new container terminal and
associated facilities that would be
located on the Coke Point Peninsula
within the Patapsco River in Baltimore,
Maryland.
4. Alternatives. The EIS will evaluate
an array of alternatives for dredging,
dredged material disposal, and
construction. Alternatives may include,
but are not limited to, no action
alternative, dredged material placement
options including upland disposal
onsite, upland disposal offsite,
beneficial and innovative reuse of
dredge material, and offshore ocean
placement. In order to accommodate the
anticipated volume of dredged material,
these options may be evaluated alone or
on combination.
Specifically, alternatives may be
combined to reduce the footprint of the
offshore DMCF. These options include
(1) a DMCF in the existing on-site High
Head Reservoir; (2) use of existing
offsite upland DMCFs; (3) ocean
disposal of dredged material; (4) a
nearshore DMCF; and/or (5) beneficial
reuse.
Mitigation measures could include,
but are not limited to, avoidance and
minimization, enhancement,

restoration, or establishment of
wetlands.
5. Scoping Process. The scoping
period will continue for 60 days from
the date of this Notice of Intent. During
the scoping period, the Corps invites
federal, state, and local agencies, Native
American Tribes, other interested
parties, and the general public to
participate in the scoping process. The
purpose of the scoping process is to
provide information to the public, serve
as a mechanism to solicit agency and
public input on alternatives, identify
significant issues to be analyzed in the
EIS, and ensure full and open
participation in scoping for the draft
EIS. Scoping comments may be
submitted by conventional mail or
email. All comments must include the
Corps number NAB–2023–61200. To be
accepted, email comments must
originate from the author’s email
account. All comments received will
become part of the administrative record
and are subject to public release under
the Freedom of Information Act
including any personally identifiable
information such as names, phone
numbers, and addresses. Additional
information on the project and scoping
process are available on the Corps’
website at this link: https://www.nab.
usace.army.mil/SPCT/
6. Scoping Meetings. The Corps will
conduct public scoping meetings during
the scoping period in which agencies,
organizations, and members of the
general public are invited to present
comments or suggestions with regard to
the range of actions, alternatives, and
potential impacts to be considered in
the EIS. The Corps has scheduled two
public scoping meetings, one in-person
and one virtual as described below: (a)
In-person: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at
5:30 p.m. Display material and staff will
be available beginning at 5:30 p.m. with
a presentation following at 6 p.m. at the
Sollers Point Multi-Purpose Center; 323
Sollers Point Rd, Dundalk, MD 21222;
and (b) Virtual: Thursday, January 25,
2024, beginning at 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Access the virtual scoping meeting at

7. Availability of the Draft EIS. The
draft EIS is estimated to be available for
public review and comment in January
2025. At that time, a public review
period will be provided for public
review and comment on the draft EIS.
8. Analyses and Consultation. The EIS
will be integrated with analyses and
consultation required by the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act, section 401 and section 404 of the
Clean Water Act, section 7 of the

appropriate documentation (i.e., section
7, section 106 coordination letters, and
public and agency comments) will be
obtained and included as part of the
EIS. As part of the EIS process,
recommendations will be based on an
evaluation of the probable impact of the
proposed activity on the public interest.
The decision will reflect the national
concern for the protection and
utilization of important resources. The
benefit, which may reasonably be
expected to accrue from the proposal,
will be balanced against its reasonably
foreseeable detriments. All factors that
may be relevant to the proposal will be
considered, among these are wetlands;
fish and wildlife resources; cultural
resources; land use; water and air
quality; hazardous, toxic, and
radioactive substances; threatened and
endangered species; regional geology;
aesthetics; environmental justice;
navigation; cumulative impacts; and the
general needs and welfare of the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Navy Health of the Force
Survey Program; OMB Control Number
0703–HOFG.
Type of Request: New Generic
Information Collection Request.
Number of Respondents: 150,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 150,000.
Average Burden per Response: 20
minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 50,000.
Needs and Uses: The Navy Health of
the Force Survey program is a strategic
level engagement survey initiative
designed to assess climate and culture
across the entire Department of the
Navy (DoN) enterprise. When deployed,
the Health of the Force (HoF) Survey is
tailored to the unique population
(Active Duty Navy, Reserve Navy,
Active Duty Marine Corps, and Navy
civilians) being surveyed, but also
includes a core set of questions and
metrics that support comparisons across
the Navy and provide a means for
evaluating changes in culture and
climate over time.
The DoN has already received OMB
approval to conduct the mainline Navy
HoF Survey under OMB Control
Number 0703–0079. The Department
has also submitted an information
collection request for a Reserves-specific
HoF survey. With this Generic
Information Collection Request, the
Department seeks to bring all current
and future HoF surveys under one OMB
Control Number. The streamlined
Generic approval process will grant the
Navy Survey Office additional
flexibility to (1) quickly implement
changes that may be made to the HoF
surveys from year to year and (2) add
new HoF surveys that ask similar
questions and utilize similar methods
but target unique personnel
populations.
Every HoF survey will include
validated metrics for inclusion,
connectedness, trust, organizational
commitment, and cohesion. Other
metrics that will be collected annually
or biennially include job/career
satisfaction, burnout, workplace
incivility, and work/life balance. The
survey results provide answers to
important questions for Navy leadership
about a range of topics including:

• Interpersonal relationships in the
workplace
• Levels of stress and key stressors
Finally, the survey provides Navy
personnel with an opportunity to tell
Navy leaders, in their own words, what
they are concerned about and what they
need to make the Navy a stronger, more
effective organization.
