SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management

of information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of

Title: Registration of Swap Dealers 

and Major Swap Participants (OMB 

Control No. 3038–0072). This is a 

request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: Pursuant to Section 731 of 

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 

111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’), the Commission 

promulgated regulations setting forth 

the procedure whereby persons required 

by the Dodd-Frank Act to register with 

the Commission as Swap Dealers or 

Major Swap Participants may do so. 

With respect to the collection of 

information, the Commission invites 

comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have a practical use; 

• The accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to http://

www.cftc.gov. You should submit only 

information that you wish to make 

available publicly. If you wish the 

Commission to consider information 

that you believe is exempt from 

disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, a petition for 

confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in § 145.9 

of the Commission’s regulations.1

The Commission reserves the right, 

but shall have no obligation, to review, 

pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or 

remove any or all of your submission 

from http://www.cftc.gov that it may 

deem to be inappropriate for 

publication, such as obscene language. 

All submissions that have been redacted 

or removed that contain comments on 

the merits of the ICR will be retained in 

the public comment file and will be 

considered as required under the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Corps intends to prepare a Dredged 

Material Management Plan (DMMP) and 

accompanying Environmental 

Assessment (EA). The primary Federal 

actions under consideration are 

dredging, dredged material placement, 

and transport of dredged material for the 

purpose of ocean placement and/or 

upland beneficial reuse. The Crescent 

City Harbor District is the Non-Federal 

Sponsor (NFS). The Draft DMMP is 

intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address the Federal, state and local 

requirements and environmental issues 

concerning the proposed activities and 

permit approvals. 

Project Site and Background 

Information: Crescent City Harbor is 

located on the Northern California coast 

about 280 nautical miles north of San 

Francisco and about 17 miles south of 

the Oregon border. The harbor is located 

on the south edge of a broad marine 

terrace bordered on the south and west 

by the Pacific Ocean and on the north 

and east by densely forested coastal 

mountains. Crescent City Harbor is a 

shallow-draft critical harbor of refuge, 

supporting a U.S. Coast Guard search 

and rescue station, commercial and 

sport fishing, waterfront industry, and 

recreational boating. 

The harbor’s naturally crescentshaped beach is bound by a 4,700-foot 

long rubble-mound outer breakwater to 

the west, a 2,400-foot long sand barrier 

to the east, and a 1,600-foot rubblemound inner breakwater to the south. 

The harbor’s opening faces south and is 

about 2,000 feet across. 

There are currently three federally 

constructed and maintained navigation 

channels at Crescent City Harbor. The 

Inner Harbor Basin Channel extends for 

2,200 feet along the inside and around 

the tip of the inner breakwater, where it 

connects to the Entrance Channel, a 200 

foot wide channel that extends 2,200 

feet to the outer breakwater. The Marina 

Access Channel is 140–210 feet wide 

and extends 1,200 feet from the Inner 

Harbor Basin Channel to the small boat 

basin. 

The Entrance Channel has a project 

depth of 20 feet mean lower low water 

(MLLW) while the interior channels, 

Inner Harbor Basin and Marina Access, 

have a project depth of 15 feet MLLW. 

Proposed Action(S): This study report 

will: (1) verify that continued federal 

maintenance is justified; and (2) present 

a viable 20-year plan for dredging and 

disposal of materials associated with
