Extension of Web-Based TRICARE Assistance Program Demonstration Program
This notice is to advise interested parties of an extension to the Military Health System (MHS) demonstration project, under authority of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1092, entitled Web-Based TRICARE Assistance Program. This demonstration was effective August 1, 2009, as referenced in the original Federal Register Notice, 74 FR 3667, July 24, 2009. The demonstration was extended to March 31, 2011, as referenced by Federal Register Notice, March 30, 2010. The demonstration project uses existing managed care support contracts (MCSC) to allow Web-based behavioral health and related services including non-medical counseling and advice services to active duty service members (ADSM), their families and members and their dependents enrolled in TRICARE Reserve Select, and those eligible for the Transition Assistance Management Program (TAMP) who reside in the continental United States. The extension is necessary to allow more time to measure the effectiveness of the demonstration in meeting its goal of improving beneficiary access to behavioral health care by incorporating Web-based technology.

Notice of Two-Year Continuation of Disease Management Demonstration Project for TRICARE Standard Beneficiaries
This notice is to advise interested parties of the continuation of a Military Health System (MHS) demonstration project entitled ``Disease Management Demonstration Project for TRICARE Standard Beneficiaries''. The original demonstration notice was published on June 13, 2007 (72 FR 32628-32629) and described a demonstration project to provide disease management (DM) services to TRICARE Standard beneficiaries in addition to the TRICARE Prime beneficiaries who were already entitled to such services. TRICARE began the demonstration project in March 2007 for Standard beneficiaries and this demonstration project has enabled the MHS to provide uniform policies and practices on disease and chronic care management throughout the TRICARE network. Additionally, the demonstration has helped determine the effectiveness of DM programs in improving the health status of beneficiaries with targeted chronic diseases or conditions, and any associated cost savings. The TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) chose a phased approach to determine the efficacy and cost effectiveness of its disease management demonstration, beginning with beneficiaries identified with the disease states of asthma, heart failure, and diabetes. TMA now intends to continue the disease management services to TRICARE Standard beneficiaries until a permanent TRICARE disease management benefit (per the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of 2007, section 734) is implemented. This continuation of the disease management demonstration project will be conducted under the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 1092.

The demonstration project is intended to improve access to urgent care including minor illness or injury for Coast Guard beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote while decreasing emergency room visits and healthcare costs. Under the demonstration, Coast Guard active duty service members (ADSMs) and their family members who are enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote in the South Region would be allowed to self-refer, without an authorization, to a TRICARE network provider such as an Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) or Convenience Center for up to four urgent care visits per year. No referral from their Primary Care Manager (PCM) or authorization by a Health Care Finder will be required and no Point of Service (POS) deductibles and cost shares shall apply to these four unmanaged visits. Additionally, when outside of the South region, these Coast Guard TRICARE Prime or Prime Remote enrollees may use any TRICARE authorized provider or UCC without incurring POS deductibles and cost shares. The ADSM and family member will be required to notify their PCM of any urgent/acute care visits to other than their PCM within 24 hours of the visit and schedule any follow-up treatment that might be indicated with their PCM. If more than the four (4) authorized urgent care visits are used, or if the beneficiary seeks care from a non TRICARE network or non TRICARE authorized provider, POS deductibles and cost shares as required by Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 199.17(n)(3) may apply.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft Areawide Environmental Impact Statement for Phosphate Mining Affecting Waters of the United States in the Central Florida Phosphate District (CFPD)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District, has received permit applications for Department of the Army permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) from phosphate mining companies in Central and Southwest Florida to discharge fill in Waters of the United States for the purpose of phosphate ore extraction (i.e., creation of new phosphate mines, expansions of existing mines, and construction of attendant facilities) within the CFPD. The three specific projects being considered, and their Department of the Army file numbers, are CF Industries' South Pasture Extension (SAJ-1993- 01395), Mosaic Fertilizer LLC's Four Corners Surface Tract (1995- 00794), and Mosaic Fertilizer LLC's Ona Mine (SAJ-1998-02067). The Corps has determined that, when viewed collectively, the separate proposed phosphate mining-related projects have similarities that provide a basis for evaluating their environmental consequences together in one comprehensive environmental impact statement. As part of the permit review process, the Corps is evaluating the environmental effects of these similar actions. The primary Federal involvement associated with the Proposed Action is the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States, including jurisdictional wetlands. Issuance of Federal authorizations for the Proposed Activities would constitute a ``Major Federal Action.'' Based on the continued applications for expanded mining in the CFPD, the size of the project area, the CFPD characteristics, and the potential environmental impacts, both individually and cumulatively, of the Proposed Action, the Corps will prepare an Areawide Environmental Impact Statement (AEIS) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to render a final decision on the permit applications. The Corps' decision will be to either issue, issue with modifications, or deny Department of the Army permits for the Proposed Action. The Draft AEIS (DAEIS) is intended to be sufficient in scope to address Federal, State, and local requirements and environmental issues concerning the Proposed Action and permit reviews. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has agreed to be a cooperating agency on the study.

Efficiency Initiative Effort To Reduce Non-Value-Added Costs Imposed on Industry by Department of Defense Acquisition Practices
The Department of Defense understands that some of its mandates, reporting requirements, and other acquisition practices encourage industry to adopt processes and make investments that increase costs, especially overhead costs, but do not contribute to value added in systems and services delivered to the Department. To implement the memorandum from Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) Dr. Ashton Carter, dated September 14, 2010, Memorandum to Acquisition Professionals, DoD is requesting information from the industrial base to identify the sources of these costs, backed by specific, credible, convincing data. DoD's goal is to develop a fact-based program to reform cost-inflating practices.
Certifications and Exemptions Under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972

The intended effect of this rule is to warn mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS apply.
