As a result, USACE is extending the public comment period on the draft Engineer Circular until July 27, 2020. The draft Engineer Circular is available for review on the USACE Levee Safety Program website (https:/ /www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Levee-Safety-Program /) and at (https://www.regulations.gov) reference docket number COE-2020-0003.

The DRCED's purpose is to improve the Department's defense business enterprise by synchronizing and normalizing data for affordability, performance, and mission readiness. To achieve this, the DRCED will optimize technology to provide an enterprise solution for integrating and analyzing targeted data from existing Department systems to develop timely, actionable, and insightful conclusions in support of national strategies. Also, DRCED is capable of creating predictive analytic models based upon specific data streams to equip decision makers with critical data necessary for execution of fiscal and operational requirements.
