effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before March 10, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, 

Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 

14th and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230 (or via the 

Internet at JJessup@doc.gov). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Dr. Vernon R. (Bob) 

Leeworthy, (301) 713–7261 or 

Bob.Leeworthy@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a regular 

submission (new information 

collection). 

NOAA and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) have entered a 

partnership to estimate the market and 

non-market economic values of Puerto 

Rico’s coral reef ecosystems. Estimates 

will be made for all ecosystem services 

for the Guanica Bay Watershed and for 

recreation-tourism for all of Puerto 

Rico’s coral reef ecosystems. 

We will conduct surveys of visitors to 

Puerto Rico and residents of Puerto Rico 

who use the coral reef ecosystems to 

estimate the amount and type of use, 

their spending while undertaking coral 

reef use activities, the economic value of 

reef attributes (e.g. water clarity/

visibility, coral abundance and 

diversity, fish and invertebrate 

abundance and diversity, and 

opportunity to see large wildlife) and 

how economic value changes with 

changes in reef attributes. 

II. Method of Collection 

Visitors to the island will be recruited 

into an Internet Panel via stratified 

random sampling at the various access 

modes of transportation to the island 

(e.g. airports, cruise ship docks and 

ferries). The panel recruitment surveys 

will use a short-form (5 to 10 minutes) 

to gather information of place of 

permanent residence, length of stay in 

Puerto Rico, activities participated in 

while on their stay, and demographic 

information. A tally sheet will be used 

to screen survey participants for coral 

reef use. This will then allow for 

connection to air enplanement data, 

cruise ship passenger data, and ferry 

passenger data to estimate the total 

number of reef users. Those who agree 

to the Internet Panel will then be asked 

more detailed questions on intensity of 

coral reef use (person-days of reef 

activity by type of activity), spending 

while doing reef activities, and 

economic value of reef attributes. For 

those who do not want to join the 

Internet Panel, they will be offered mail 

back surveys to gather the information 

that would be gathered in the Internet 

Panels. 

Residents of the island will be 

surveyed face-to-face in the home. 

Information on activity participation 

and use of the coral reefs, 

demographics, and economic value of 

coral reefs and how those values change 

with changes in reef attributes will be 

gathered in the face-to-face in-home 

surveys. Additional mail backs will be 

used for importance-satisfaction ratings 

and spending while recreating on the 

coral reefs.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Record of Decision for the Presidio of 

Monterey Real Property Master Plan 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Monterey, CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

and the Presidio of Monterey (POM) 

announce the decision to proceed with 

the Proposed Alternative contained in 

the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the POM Real 

Property Master Plan (RPMP), which 

allows for timely implementation of the 

POM RPMP, providing the necessary 

facilities and infrastructure upgrades to 

meet DoD requirements. Specific details 

of the decision are captured in the 

Army’s Record of Decision (ROD) for 

this action. This ROD explains the 

potential environmental and 

socioeconomic impacts associated with 

proposed development at two 

properties: The POM and the Ord 

Military Community (OMC). This 

alternative provides the proper balance 

of initiatives for the protection of 

environmental resources and mission 

essential actions. The ROD also 

identifies mitigation that will reduce or 

eliminate adverse impacts. 

ADDRESSES: Written requests to obtain a 

copy of the ROD can be addressed to: 

U.S. Army Garrison, Directorate of 

Public Works, Master Planning Division 

(Attention: Mr. Robert Guidi), P.O. Box 

5004, Presidio of Monterey, CA 93944– 

5004 or send email requests to: 

robert.g.guidi@us.army.mil. For media 

inquiries, please contact Mr. Daniel 

Carpenter, Presidio of Monterey Public 

Affairs, at presidiopao@gmail.com. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please contact Mr. John Elliot at (831) 

242–7777 or by email at john.elliot5@

us.army.mil. Additional information 

may be found at the POM Directorate of 

Public Works Web site at: http://

www.monterey.army.mil/DPW/env_

assessment.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The POM 

is located on the Monterey Peninsula 

between the Cities of Monterey and 

Pacific Grove and the OMC is located 

approximately eight miles northeast of 

the POM and situated within the former 

Fort Ord military installation adjacent to 

the City of Seaside. Both properties, 

collectively referred to as the POM 

Installation, are located within 

Monterey County and are in proximity 

to the Pacific Ocean. 

The DoD Foreign Language 

Proficiency Enhancement Program 

changes the student-to-instructor ratio 

and will result in a greater population 

of students and instructors. The POM 

needs to train more linguists for 

deployment throughout the world 

because current projections indicate a 

shortfall in personnel properly trained 

to interface with people of other 

nations. The existing facilities at the 

POM neither met current needs nor the 

projected requirements at the DLIFLC. 

This fact, coupled with anti-terrorism/

force protection requirements, resulted 

in the need to change the physical 

landscape at the POM and the OMC. 

The ROD incorporates analyses 

contained in the FEIS for the RPMP, 

including comments provided during 

formal comment and review periods. 

The ROD selects facility improvements 

and phased construction to maintain 

and enhance the professional standards 

established by the Defense Language 

Institute Foreign Language Center 

(DLIFLC). Modernization of classrooms, 

living quarters, and support facilities 

will help ensure a sustainable mission 

throughout the foreseeable future. 

Under the selected alternative, the 

majority of new construction and 

development will be located within the 

existing central campus at the POM. The 

POM Barracks Complex Phase I and 

Phase IV will be constructed. This 

action places future development of 

primary and support facilities for the 

DLIFLC at the POM. The two new 

barracks and three additional general 

instruction buildings will be sited to 

preserve the centralized location of the 

DLIFLC. No new barracks or 

instructional buildings are designated 

for the OMC. 

Implementation of this decision is 

expected to result in direct, indirect, 

and cumulative impacts to the POM 

Installation. Environmental impacts are 

expected to occur as a result of facilities 

construction and changes in operations. 

The potential for significant 

environmental impacts is greatest for 

aesthetic resources, endangered plant 

species and associated critical habitat, 

cultural resources, housing and 

population, public services (schools), 

traffic circulation, and water usage. The 

POM will mitigate adverse effects 

through a variety of strategies, as 

described in the FEIS. All practicable 

means to avoid or minimize 

environmental harm from the selected 

alternative have been adopted and a 

monitoring and enforcement program 

will be adopted. 

The environmentally preferred 

alternative is the ‘‘no action’’ 

alternative, but this alternative would 

not have met mission requirements. 

The selected alternative allows for 

timely implementation of the POM 

RPMP while providing the necessary 

facilities and infrastructure upgrades to 

meet the DoD requirements. This 

decision provides the proper balance of 

initiatives for the protection of the 

environment and supports the U.S. 

Army’s effort to fulfill its mandated 

mission requirements and provide an 

exceptional learning environment. 

A summary of environmental impacts 

and rationale for the decision can be 

found in the ROD, which is available 

along with the FEIS at http://

www.monterey.army.mil/DPW/env_

assessment.html.
