and other interested parties. Public 

participation in the supplemental EIS 

process will be strongly encouraged, 

both formally and informally, to 

enhance the probability of a more 

technically accurate, economically 

feasible, and socially and politically 

acceptable supplemental EIS. Public 

involvement will include but is not 

limited to: Information dissemination; 

identification of problems, needs and 

opportunities; idea generation; public 

education; problem solving; providing 

feedback on proposals; evaluation of 

alternatives; conflict resolution by 

consensus; public and scoping notices 

and meetings; public, stakeholder and 

advisory groups consultation and 

meetings; and making the supplemental 

EIS and supporting information readily 

available in conveniently located places, 

such as libraries and on the World Wide 

Web. 

5. Scoping. Scoping, an early and 

open process for identifying the scope of 

significant issues related to the 

proposed action to be addressed in the 

supplemental EIS, will be used to: (a) 

Identify the affected public and agency 

concerns; (b) facilitate an efficient 

supplemental EIS preparation process; 

(c) define the issues and alternatives 

that will be examined in detail in the 

supplemental EIS; and (d) save time in 

the overall process by helping to ensure 

that the draft supplemental EIS 

adequately addresses relevant issues. 

The public scoping meeting is 

scheduled for October 8, 2009 at 6 p.m. 

at the Lynn Oaks School located at 1 

Lynn Oaks Dr., Braithwaite, Louisiana. 

A Scoping Meeting Notice will also be 

mailed to all interested parties in 

September 2009. Additional meetings 

could be held, depending upon public 

interest and if it is determined that 

further public coordination is 

warranted. 

6. Coordination. The USACE and the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 

have formally committed to work 

together to conserve, protect, and restore 

fish and wildlife resources while 

ensuring environmental sustainability of 

our Nation’s water resources under the 

January 22, 2003, Partnership 

Agreement for Water Resources and 

Fish and Wildlife. The USFWS will 

provide a Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act Report. Coordination 

will be maintained with the USFWS and 

the National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) regarding threatened and 

endangered species under their 

respective jurisdictional 

responsibilities. Coordination will be 

maintained with the NMFS regarding 

essential fish habitat. Coordination will 

be maintained with the Natural 

Resources Conservation Service 

regarding prime and unique farmlands. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will 

be consulted regarding the 

‘‘Swampbuster’’ provisions of the Food 

Security Act. Coordination will be 

maintained with the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency concerning 

compliance with Executive Order 

12898, ‘‘Federal Action to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations.’’ Coordination will be 

maintained with the Advisory Counsel 

on Historic Preservation and the State 

Historic Preservation Officer. The 

Louisiana Department of Natural 

Resources will be consulted regarding 

consistency with the Coastal Zone 

Management Act. The Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries 

will be consulted concerning potential 

impacts to Natural and Scenic Streams. 

7. Availability of Draft Supplemental 

EIS. The earliest that the draft 

supplemental EIS will be available for 

public review would be in spring of 

2011. The draft supplemental EIS or a

Abstract: The U.S. Department of

benchmarking its K12 educational

gaps in information about (a) what data 

competitor nations are collecting, (b) 

where there are gaps between available 

data and U.S. national priorities, and (c) 

international rankings and comparisons 

for selected indicators. Data analysis 

will result in country profiles that will 

detail country-specific information 

regarding selected indicators, summary 

and comparison of data across 

countries, and analysis of what
