DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Availability for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report for 

Proposed Berths 302–306 American 

President Lines (APL) Container 

Terminal Project, Port of Los Angeles, 

Los Angeles County, CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army—U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Los Angeles District 

Regulatory Division (Corps), in 

coordination with the Los Angeles 

Harbor Department/Port of Los Angeles, 

has completed a Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement/Environmental 

Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the Berths 

302–306 American Presidents Line 

(APL) Container Terminal Project. This 

Notice serves as the Public Notice/ 

Notice of Availability for the Draft EIS/ 

EIR for the project. 

Berths 302–305 are currently 

operational and encompass 

approximately 291 acres of land and 

water including 12 container cranes, a 

4,000-foot-long wharf, utility 

infrastructure, truck gates, intermodal 

rail, and terminal buildings to support 

operations. The Project would result in 

an additional 12 container cranes 

distributed among Berths 302–306 with 

eight new cranes proposed at Berth 306, 

a new 1,250-foot-long wharf at Berth 

306, and development of 41 acres of 

backlands for container storage and 

distribution, including installation of 

utility infrastructure to support future 

automation at Berth 306 and the 41 acre 

backland. The Project would result in an 

approximately 347-acre marine 

container terminal, and would include 

the following construction and 

operational elements: dredging, wharf 

construction, additional container 

cranes; expanded container yard and 

associated structures and utilities; 

modification of truck gates, associated 

structures, and roadwork. 

The Port of Los Angeles (Port) 

requires authorization pursuant to 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors 

Act, and Section 103 of the Marine 

Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries 

Act, to implement regulated activities in 

and over waters of the U.S. associated 

with expanding the existing APL 

container terminal. The Corps and the 

Port as the state lead agency have agreed 

to jointly prepare an EIS/EIR in order to 

optimize efficiency and avoid 

duplication. The EIS/EIR is intended to 

be sufficient in scope to address federal, 

state, and local requirements and 

environmental issues concerning the 

proposed activities and permit 

approvals. The following proposed 

activities require authorization from the 

Corps: (1) Construction of a new 1,250- 

foot-long concrete pile supported wharf 

at Berth 306 which is immediately 

adjacent to the existing 4,000-foot-long 

wharf at Berths 302–305, (2) installation 

of 12 new gantry cranes between Berths 

302–306 with at least eight (8) new 

cranes at Berth 306 associated with 

development and operation of the 41- 

acre backlands at Berth 306, (3) 

dredging of approximately 20,000 cubic 

yards (cy) of sediment from Berth 306 to 

increase the depth to ¥55 feet mean 

lower low water (MLLW) plus an 

additional two feet of overdepth 

dredging to ¥57 feet MLLW, (4) 

disposal of dredged material in Berth 

243–245 confined disposal facility 

(CDF), the Cabrillo Shallow Water 

Habitat Area, or at LA–2 (unconfined 

ocean disposal).

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of

assistance to projects that develop, test, 

and demonstrate the effectiveness of 

services and programs to improve the 

educational opportunities and 

achievement of preschool, elementary, 

and secondary Indian students. 

Priorities: This competition contains 

two absolute priorities and two 

competitive preference priorities. In 

accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii), 

the absolute priorities are from the 

regulations for this program (34 CFR 

263.21(c)(1) and (3)). In accordance with 

34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), the competitive 

preference priorities are from sections 

7121(d)(1)(B) and 7143 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA) (20 

U.S.C. 7441(d)(1)(B) and 7473). 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2012 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only 

applications that meet one or both of the 

following priorities. 

These priorities are: 

Absolute Priority One 

School readiness projects that provide 

age-appropriate educational programs 

and language skills to three- and fouryear-old Indian students to prepare 

them for successful entry into school at 

the kindergarten school level. 

Absolute Priority Two 

College preparatory programs for 

secondary school students designed to 

increase competency and skills in 

challenging subject matters, including 

math and science, to enable Indian 

students to transition successfully to 

postsecondary education. 

Competitive Preference Priorities: For 

FY 2012 and any subsequent year in 

which we make awards from the list of 

unfunded applicants from this 

competition, these priorities are 

competitive preference priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to 

an additional 10 points to an 

application, depending on how well the 

application meets one or both of these 

priorities. 

These priorities are: 

Competitive Preference Priority One 

We award five competitive preference 

priority points to an applicant that 

presents a plan for combining two or 

more of the activities described in 

section 7121(c) of the ESEA over a 

period of more than one year. 

Note: For Competitive Preference Priority 

One, the combination of activities is limited 

to the activities described in the Absolute 

Priorities section of this notice. 

Competitive Preference Priority Two 

We award five competitive preference 

priority points to an application 

submitted by an eligible Indian tribe, 

Indian organization, or Indian 

institution of higher education, 

including a consortium of any of these 

entities with other eligible entities. An 

application from a consortium of 

eligible entities that meets the 

requirements of 34 CFR 75.127 through 

75.129 and includes an Indian tribe, 

Indian organization, or Indian 

institution of higher education will be 

considered eligible to receive the five 

competitive preference points. These 

competitive preference points are in 

addition to the five competitive 

preference points that may be given 

under Competitive Preference Priority 

One. 

Note: A consortium agreement, signed by 

all parties, must be submitted with the 

application in order for the application to be 

considered a consortium application. Letters 

of support do not meet the requirement for 

a consortium agreement. We will reject any 

application from a consortium that does not 

meet this requirement.
