The Department of Defense is publishing this notice to announce a Federal Advisory Committee meeting of the Defense Acquisition University Board of Visitors. This meeting will be open to the public.

The Department of the Army announces the availability of the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) to analyze the potential impacts of training and mission support activities on the environmental resources of Fort Campbell and the surrounding region. The Draft PEIS analyzes the No Action Alternative, four distinct and separate Proposed Action Alternatives, and a fifth Proposed Action Alternative that combines two or more separate alternatives. The Proposed Action would meet the Senior Commander's Soldier training requirements, support the Range Complex Master Plan, and streamline the NEPA analysis process for routine range and training land actions occurring at Fort Campbell.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service announces a proposed public information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The invention listed below is assigned to the United States Government as represented by the Secretary of the Navy. The Department of the Navy hereby gives notice of its intent to grant to Vann Technology, LLC. a revocable, nonassignable, exclusive license to practice in the United States, the Government-owned invention described below: U.S. Patent 6,902,316 (Navy Case 85003): Issued June 7, 2005, entitled ``NON-INVASIVE CORROSION SENSOR''.

The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

The Defense Commissary Agency proposes to alter a system of records, Z0035-01, entitled ``Commissary Retail Sales Transaction Data'' in its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The Commissary Retail Sales Transaction Data System of Records enables the Defense Commissary Agency to carry out its mission to enhance the quality of life of members of the uniformed services, retired members, and dependents of such members, and to support military readiness, recruitment and retention, by providing a world- wide system of commissaries similar to commercial grocery stores and selling merchandise and household goods similar to that sold in commercial grocery stores by, among other things, enable the authentication of authorized patrons, record purchases and purchases prices, calculate the total amount owed by the customer, and accept payment by various media; enable the collection of debts due the United States in the event a patron's medium of payment is declined or returned unpaid; enable the monitoring of purchases of restricted items outside the United States, its territories and possession and to comply with age restrictions applicable to certain purchases by minors or those under allowable ages; and to obtain aggregate demographic data concerning patron satisfaction with the delivery of the commissary benefit, and in determining appropriate product availability meeting the commissary customers' current and future needs and wants; and to facilitate implementation of various e-commerce initiatives.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (Corps) is examining the environmental consequences associated with Freeport- McMoRan Safford Inc.'s (FMSI) application for a Department of the Army permit under section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the proposed development of the mineral resources associated with the Lone Star ore body for the purpose of producing copper (the Lone Star Project). The proposed development would include the construction of mining facilities, including an open pit mine and attendant development rock stockpiles and heap leach facilities, which will allow continued mining at the Safford Mine Facility using conventional open-pit mining, heap leaching techniques, and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) processing, and utilizing as much of the existing Safford Mine Facility infrastructure and processing facilities as practicable. The construction of the proposed facilities would discharge fill materials into approximately 90.27 acres of waters of the United States (U.S.). The primary federal environmental concerns are the proposed discharges of fill material into waters of the U.S. and the potential for significant adverse environmental effects resulting from such activities. Therefore, to address these concerns in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Corps is requiring preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prior to consideration of any permit action. The action must comply with the section 404(b)(1) Guidelines (40 CFR part 230) and not be contrary to the public interest to be granted a Corps permit. The Corps may ultimately make a determination to permit or deny the above project, or permit or deny modified versions of the above project.
