SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Personnel Security System 

Access Request (PSSAR) Form; DD 

Form 2962. 

Needs and Uses: JPAS requires 

personal data collection to facilitate the 

initiation, investigation and 

adjudication of information relevant to 

DoD security clearances and 

employment suitability determinations 

for active duty military, civilian 

employees and contractors requiring 

such credentials. As a Personnel 

Security System it is the authoritative 

source for clearance information 

resulting in accesses determinations to 

sensitive/classified information and 

facilities. Specific uses include: 

Facilitation for DoD Adjudicators and 

Security Managers to obtain accurate 

up-to-date eligibility and access 

information on all personnel (military, 

civilian and contractor personnel) 

adjudicated by the DoD. The DoD 

Adjudicators and Security Managers are 

also able to update eligibility and access 

levels of military, civilian and 

contractor personnel nominated for 

access to sensitive DoD information. 

Security Managers working in private 

companies that contract with DoD and 

who need access to the JPAS system to 

update security-related information 

about their company’s employees must 

complete DD Form 2962 to access the 

system. Completion of the form assures 

JPAS users have the required need-toknow, security clearance, and requires 

applicants accept the responsibility to 

abide by relevant DoD regulations, laws 

and account management policies 

necessary to access the system. 

DD Form 2962: To Grant Security 

Manager Applicants Access To JPAS 

System 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit. 

Annual Burden Hours: 7,333. 

Number of Respondents: 44,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 44,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

The Joint Personnel Adjudication 

System (JPAS) is a DoD personnel 

security system and is the authoritative 

source for clearance information 

resulting in access determinations to 

sensitive/classified information and 

facilities. Collection and maintenance of 

personal data in JPAS is required to 

facilitate the initiation, investigation 

and adjudication of information relevant 

to DoD security clearances and 

employment suitability determinations 

for active duty military, civilian 

employees, and contractors requiring 

such credentials. Security Managers 

working in private companies that 

contract with DoD and who need access 

to the JPAS system to update securityrelated information about their 

company’s employees must complete 

DD Form 2962 to access the system. 

Once granted access, the Security 

Managers maintain employee personal 

information, submit requests for 

investigations, and submit other 

relevant personnel security information 

into JPAS on over 500,000 contract 

employees annually.

Notice To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment and Conduct a Public 

Meeting for Preparation of a Dredged 

Material Management Plan for Noyo 

Harbor, Fort Bragg, Mendocino 

County, CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Public notice. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is 

to initiate the scoping process for an 

evaluation of whether there is adequate 

capacity for placement/disposal of 

projected maintenance dredged material

18224 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 64 / Friday, April 3, 2015 / Notices 

from Noyo Harbor. This evaluation will 

be conducted in a two-step process: first 

a preliminary assessment (PA) will 

make projections of the volume of 

dredged material, estimate the existing 

capacity for placement/disposal of the 

material, and verify that continued 

maintenance dredging is economically 

justified. If it is concluded that 

continued maintenance dredging is 

justified and that the existing 

placement/disposal capacity is not 

adequate, then a Dredged Material 

Management Plan (DMMP) will be 

prepared to identify placement/disposal 

sites with adequate capacity for the next 

20 years or more of federal and nonfederal maintenance dredging. 

DATES: A public meeting will be held on 

April 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. (PDT). 

Submit comments concerning this 

notice on or before May 4, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting 

location is the Town Hall, 363 North 

Main Street, Fort Bragg, California 

95437. Mail written comments 

concerning this notice to: U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, San Francisco 

District, Engineering and Technical 

Services Division, ATTN: Mark 

Wiechmann, 1455 Market Street, San 

Francisco, CA 94103–1398. Comment 

letters should include the commenter’s 

physical mailing address and the project 

title in the subject line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Corps intends to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment. The 

primary Federal actions under 

consideration are dredging, dredged 

material placement/disposal, and 

transport of dredged material for the 

purpose of ocean disposal and/or 

upland beneficial reuse. The Noyo 

Harbor District is the Non-Federal 

Sponsor (NFS). The Environmental 

Assessment 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. 

Project Site And Background 

Information: Noyo Harbor is on the 

Northern California coast about 170 

miles North of San Francisco and 130 

miles south of Eureka, California. It is 

located in unincorporated Noyo 

Township, in forested lands 

immediately south of Fort Bragg, 

Mendocino County. Noyo Harbor is a 

shallow draft navigation project that 

supports a U.S. Coast Guard search and 

rescue station, commercial and sport 

fishing, and recreational boating. 

The federal navigation project at Noyo 

Harbor consists of two jetties and a 

navigation channel leading to an 81⁄2

acre mooring basin. The north jetty is a 

345 foot long concrete mass structure 

with an armor stone cover and the south 

jetty is a 240 foot long concrete wall 

founded on rock. The harbor’s opening 

faces west. The navigation channel is 

authorized to a project depth of 10 feet 

mean lower low water (MLLW). It 

begins in Noyo Cove, located at the 

mouth of the Noyo River and continues 

approximately 3,000 feet upriver to the 

Noyo mooring basin. 

Proposed Action(s): The San 

Francisco District, US Army Corps of 

Engineers, is evaluating whether there is 

sufficient placement/disposal capacity 

and economic justification to support 

continued maintenance dredging at 

Noyo Harbor over the next 20 years or 

more of federal and non-federal 

maintenance dredging. This evaluation 

will be conducted in a two-step process. 

First, a preliminary assessment (PA) 

will make projections of the volume and 

physical and chemical characteristics of 

the dredged material, estimate existing 

placement/disposal capacity, and verify 

that continued maintenance dredging is 

economically justified. Second, if it is 

determined that continued maintenance 

dredging is justified, but that the 

existing placement/disposal capacity is 

not adequate, then a Dredged Material 

Management Plan (DMMP) will be 

prepared to identify future placement/

disposal sites for the next 20 years of 

dredging. 

The existing historic disposal site is 

the North Jetty Upland Disposal Site 

located just north of the Noyo Harbor 

entrance channel and one mile east of 

the Highway 1 Bridge. It is a 21⁄2 acre 

low-lying area bounded to the north and 

east by bluffs and to the south and west 

by the harbor and river, respectively. 

The site has to be emptied periodically 

to accommodate additional material. 

Issues: Potentially significant issues 

associated with the project may 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. 

Scoping Process: The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers is seeking 

participation and input of all interested 

federal, state, and local agencies, Native 

American groups, and other concerned 

private organizations or individuals 

through this public notice. The purpose 

of the public meeting is to solicit 

comments regarding the potential 

impacts and environmental issues 

associated with the proposed action to 

be considered. A meeting will be held 

on April 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. (PDT). 

The final draft PA is expected to be 

available for public review and 

comment in the summer of 2015.
