Department of the Navy 

Record of Decision for the Proposed 

Modernization and Expansion of 

Townsend Bombing Range, Georgia 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 

(102)(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] 

4321–4370h); the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); 

Department of the Navy (DoN) 

Procedures for Implementing NEPA (32 

CFR part 775); and United States Marine 

Corps (USMC) NEPA directives (Marine 

Corps Order P5090.2A), the DoN 

announces its decision to modernize 

and expand Townsend Bombing Range 

(TBR) in Long and McIntosh Counties, 

Georgia. The DoN has decided to 

implement Alternative 4, the Preferred 

Alternative, to include acquisition of 

Acquisition Areas 1B and 3. 

To support this decision, DoN will 

implement the following four actions: 

(1) Acquire Acquisition Areas 1B and 3 

(28,630 acres); (2) terminate a 3,007-acre 

timber easement held by McIntosh 

County on DoN-owned land within the 

current TBR boundary; (3) modify 

Restricted Area R–3007 airspace by 

extending the current 100-foot floor to 

ground level over the land to be 

acquired (Acquisition Areas 1B and 3) 

to match the existing restricted airspace 

over the current range; and (4) construct 

infrastructure to support precisionguided munitions (PGM) training, 

including Target Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 

8. This modernization and expansion of 

TBR to accommodate inert PGM training 

will significantly enhance USMC east 

coast aviation unit training efficiency. 

Presently, TBR can accommodate only 

47% of the required F/A–18 Hornet 

individual fixed-wing air crew air-toground training syllabus. The Proposed 

Action will allow air crews to meet up 

to 85% of their air-to-ground 

proficiency requirements at TBR. All 

practical means to avoid or minimize 

environmental impacts resulting from 

implementation of the Preferred 

Alternative that were identified in the 

EIS have been adopted.

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance

Title of Collection: Financial Status 

and Program Performance Final Report 

for State and Partnership for the Gaining 

Early Awareness and Readiness for 

Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0782. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 125. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 5,625. 

Abstract: The purpose of this 

information collection is to determine 

whether recipients of Gaining Early 

Awareness and Readiness for 

Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) 

have made substantial progress towards 

meeting the objectives of their 

respective projects, as outlined in their 

grant applications and/or subsequent 

work plans. In addition, the final report 

will enable the Department to evaluate 

each grant project’s fiscal operations for 

the entire grant performance period, and 

compare total expenditures relative to 

federal funds awarded, and actual costshare/matching relative to the total 

amount in the approved grant 

application. This report is a means for 

grantees to share the overall experience 

of their projects and document 

achievements and concerns, and 

describe effects of their projects on 

participants being served; project 

barriers and major accomplishments; 

and evidence of sustainability. The 

report will be GEAR UP’s primary 

method to collect/analyze data on 

students’ high school graduation and 

immediate college enrollment rates. 

Summary of Changes 

If grantees choose to serve students 

for 7 years, they must report on the 7th 

year of activities which include 

following GEAR UP students into the 

first year of postsecondary education 

and any students still in high school. 

The 5 hour burden increase is due to the 

additional time required to collect data 

on GEAR UP students enrolled in 

postsecondary education.
