Shelter for the Homeless
The Department of Defense is updating current policies and procedures for the Defense Shelter for the Homeless Program. This direct final rule makes nonsubstantive changes to the existing rule for this program. The amendments correct the authority citation throughout the text, update organizational titles, and move procedures from the policy section into a separate procedures section. This rule is being published as a direct final rule as the Department of Defense does not expect to receive any adverse comments, and so a proposed rule is unnecessary.
Superior Supplier Incentive Program
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Acquisition and Procurement (DASN (AP)), is soliciting comments that the Department of the Navy (DoN) may use in drafting a policy that will establish a Superior Supplier Incentive Program (SSIP). Under the SSIP, contractors that have demonstrated exemplary performance at the business unit level in the areas of cost, schedule, performance, quality, and business relations would be granted Superior Supplier Status (SSS). Contractors that achieve SSS could receive more favorable contract terms and conditions in DoN contracts. In addition to recognition of SSS at the business unit level, multi-business unit corporations, that have several business units which attain SSS, may receive additional recognition by the DoN at the corporate level. This additional corporate recognition will not result in the receipt of more favorable contract terms and conditions in DoN contracts, but may result in the use of more favorable business practices by the DoN in its relations at the corporate level. Upon approval of the policy by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, DoN will initiate the pilot phase of the SSIP. The SSIP pilot is a revision of DoN's previous initiative to recognize superior performance. This initiative was known as the Preferred Supplier Program (PSP). DoN published a previous notice of proposed policy letter on May 14, 2010.

Environmental Impact Statement for Modernization and Repair of Piers 2 and 3, Military Ocean Terminal Concord, CA
The Department of the Army announces its intent to conduct public scoping under the National Environmental Policy Act to gather information to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) related to the critically-needed modernization and repairs of Piers 2 and 3, Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) due to structural decay caused by severe deterioration, wide-spread marine borer damage, and fungal decay. Piers 2 and 3 are used to transport military supplies in the Pacific region. There may be significant impacts to threatened and endangered species. The following other resource areas may be impacted: water quality, noise, terrestrial and marine species, and traffic. For example, the proposed action will replace a large number of piles; this work will likely result in water quality issues and an increase in noise. The Department of the Army will use the analysis in the EIS to determine whether and how to implement the proposed action.
