Regulation Supplement (DFARS), Part 

211 and related clause at 252.211; Radio 

Frequency Identification Advance 

Shipment Notices, OMB Control 

Number 0704–0434. 

Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance 

shipment notices for the shipment of 

material containing RFID tag data. DoD 

receiving personnel use the advance 

shipment notice to associate the unique 

identification encoded on the RFID tag 

with the corresponding shipment. Use 

of the RFID technology permits DoD an 

automated and sophisticated end-to-end 

supply chain, which has increased 

visibility of assets and permits delivery 

of supplies to the warfighter more 

quickly. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 25,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 3,981. 

Annual Responses: 101,515,500. 

Average Burden per Response: 

Approximately 1.1 seconds. 

Annual Burden Hours: 31,556. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Summary of Information Collection 

The clause at DFARS 252.211–7006, 

Radio Frequency Identification Advance 

Shipment Notices, requires the 

contractor to ensure that the data on 

each passive RFID tag are unique and 

conforms to the requirements that they 

are readable and affixed to the 

appropriate location on the specific 

level of packaging in accordance with 

MIL–STD–129 tag placement 

specifications. The contractor shall 

encode an approved RFID tag using the 

appropriate instructions at the time of 

contract award. Regardless of the 

selected encoding scheme, the 

contractor is responsible for ensuring 

that each tag contains a globally unique 

identifier. The contractor shall 

electronically submit advance shipment 

notices with the RFID tag identification 

in advance of the shipment in 

accordance with the procedures at 

https://wawf.eb.mil/.

1Conventional processing is a chemical 

separations process that involves dissolving spent 

fuel in nitric acid and separating fission products 

from uranium using solvent extraction. 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

prior to any permit action. The Corps 

may ultimately make a determination to 

permit or deny the proposed project or 

a modified version of the proposed 

project. The primary Federal concerns 

are dredging, dredged material disposal, 

addition of permanent structures in and 

over navigable waters of the U.S., and 

transport of dredged material for the 

purpose of ocean disposal. 

Pursuant to the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the 

LAHD will serve as Lead Agency in 

preparing an Environmental Impact 

Report (EIR) for its consideration of 

development approvals within its 

jurisdiction. The Corps and LAHD have 

agreed to jointly prepare a Draft EIS/EIR 

to optimize efficiency and avoid 

duplication. The Draft EIS/EIR 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. 

1. Project Site and Background 

Information. The project site is located 

on Terminal Island within in an 

industrial area of the East Basin region 

of the Port of Los Angeles. The site is 

within the Port of Los Angeles 

Community Plan area in the City of Los 

Angeles, adjacent to the communities of 

San Pedro and Wilmington, and 

approximately 20 miles south of 

downtown Los Angeles. The purpose of 

the project is to improve marine 

shipping and maritime commerce by 

optimizing the container-handling 

efficiency and capacity at Berths 212– 

224, accommodate berthing and 

loading/unloading the largest container 

ships, and increase on-dock rail 

facilities to accommodate projected 

peak increases in container movement 

into and out of the terminal at Berths 

212–224 resulting from the handling of 

larger ships. 

2. Proposed Action: The LAHD has 

proposed to redevelop the existing 

container terminal at Berths 212–224. 

Yusen Terminals Inc. [YTI] operates the 

existing 185-acre container terminal 

under a lease agreement (LAHD Permit 

No. 692). The proposed project would 

result in dredging of approximately 

25,000 cubic yards of sediment from 

Berths 212–224 to increase depth at 

existing berths; disposal of dredged 

material at either an offshore site 

(LA–2), confined disposal facility (CDF), 

or other approved location; wharf 

improvements including installation of 

new subsurface sheet pile and king piles 

to stabilize the existing wharf prior to 

dredging, installation of four new 100- 

gauge and modification (i.e., 

heightening, additional boom length) of 

six existing gantry cranes for a total of 

14 operational cranes at full build-out; 

and backland improvements such as 

additional on-dock rail, paving, coldplaning, etc., on approximately 160 

acres of the site. 

3. Issues: Potentially significant issues 

associated with the project include: 

Aesthetics/visual impacts, air quality 

emissions, biological resource impacts, 

environmental justice, geologic impacts 

related to seismicity, hazards and 

hazardous materials, hydrology and 

water quality, noise, traffic and 

transportation, and cumulative impacts 

from past, present and reasonably 

foreseeable future projects. 

4. Alternatives. The Draft EIS/EIR will 

include a co-equal analysis of several 

alternatives. Project alternatives will be 

further developed during this scoping 

process. Additional alternatives that 

may be developed during scoping will 

also be considered in the Draft EIS/EIR. 

5. Scoping Process. The Corps and 

LAHD will jointly conduct a public 

scoping meeting for the proposed 

project to receive public comment 

regarding the appropriate scope and 

preparation of the Draft EIS/EIR. 

Participation by Federal, state, and local 

agencies and other interested 

organization and persons is encouraged. 

This meeting will be conducted in 

English and Spanish. 

6. Electronic Access and Filing 

Addresses: Comments may be submitted 

by electronic mail (email) to: 

theresa.stevens@usace.army.mil. 

Electronic mail comments should 

include the commenter’s physical or 

electronic mailing address, the project 

title and the Corps file number. 

7. The Draft EIS/EIR is expected to be 

available for public review and 

comment in the fall 2013, and a public 

meeting will be held after its 

publication.
