specification, in a consistent, efficient and effective manner; life-cycle assessment tools that will enable sustainable manufacturing; and better automation solutions.

Nanomaterials/nanotechnology: The unique properties of nanomaterials provide extraordinary promise. There is a need for greater understanding and solutions to overcome the barriers associated with manufacturing nanomaterials and their incorporation into products, while maintaining the unique functionality of the nanomaterials. Although many processes are achievable in the laboratory, the scale-up to industrial production without compromising the quality of the produced material can be highly problematic.

Examples could include challenges such as: Methods required formanufacturing nanomaterials with prespecified functionality and morphology; methods for inspection and real-time monitoring the processing of nanomaterials; or methods for incorporation of nanomaterials into products without compromising the material’s required properties.

Sustainability: ‘‘Sustainability, ’’ was defined in April 2007 by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development in their ‘‘Framing Sustainable Development, The Brundtland Report—20 Years On’’ as,

‘‘meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. ’’ TIP is interested in technologies that have the potential to reduce or eliminate the environmental footprint of industrial processes and public waste streams. Sustainability is a complex and highly interdisciplinary endeavor with economic, environmental, and societal dimensions. In this context, the white papers should address elements such as cost effectiveness, energy efficiency,recyclability, safety, resource use, lifecycle analysis, and ecosystem health.

Examples could include challenges such as: Technologies to develop feedstocks from renewable sources; technologies to recover resources (minerals, materials, energy, water) from industry and other/public waste streams; low-cost, low-energy separation technologies; and replacement of hazardous/toxic materials with safer, more cost-effective materials and/or process technology.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). This DEIS evaluates project alternatives and potential impacts to the natural, physical and human environment as a result of the Sabine Mining Company’s proposal to construct, operate and reclaim the Rusk Permit Area. The USACE regulates this proposed project pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The proposed activity would involve the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States associated with the proposed construction, operation and reclamation of the Rusk Permit Area.

**DATES :**  Submit comments no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. An informal public information meeting (open house format) regarding this DEIS will be held on November 15, 2010, and a formal public hearing regarding this DEIS will be held on November 16, 2010 (see **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** ).

**ADDRESSES :**  Send written comments and suggestions concerning this proposal to Mr. Darvin Messer, Regulatory Project Manager, Regulatory Branch, CESWF– PER–R, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, P.O.
