SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background. USACE is conducting 

GLMRIS in consultation with other 

federal agencies, Native American 

tribes, state agencies, local governments 

and non-governmental organizations. 

For GLMRIS, USACE will explore ANS 

Controls that could be applied to 

prevent ANS transfer between the Great 

Lakes and Mississippi River basins 

through aquatic pathways. Potential 

ANS Controls may include, but are not 

limited to, hydrologic separation of the 

basins, modification of water quality or 

flow within a waterway, chemical 

application to ANS, collection and 

removal of ANS from a waterway, as 

well as other types of controls currently 

in research and development. 

USACE will develop screening 

criteria consistent with study objectives 

and refine the list of ANS Controls to 

determine which warrant further 

consideration. USACE will formulate 

plans comprised of one or more of the 

screened ANS Controls in consideration 

of four criteria: Completeness, 

effectiveness, efficiency, and 

acceptability. USACE will then evaluate 

and compare the effects of the 

alternative plans. 

USACE is conducting GLMRIS in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

with the Economic and Environmental 

Principles and Guidelines for Water and 

Related Land Resource Implementation 

Studies, Water Resources Council, 

March 10, 1983. 

2. ANS Control Paper. The ANS 

Control Paper is an interim product of 

GLMRIS and is found at http:// 

glmris.anl.gov/documents/interim/ 

anscontrol/index.cfm. Through 

literature search and consultation with 

experts in the field of ANS and ANS 

Controls, USACE identified the ANS 

Controls found in the paper. These ANS 

Controls are those that may be effective 

at preventing the transfer of ANS of 

Concern—CAWS via aquatic pathways. 

ANS of Concern—CAWS are the nonnative species that are the initial focus 

of GLMIRS. 

3. ANS Control Comment Period. 

USACE is currently soliciting 

information from the public on ANS 

Controls that may be effective on ANS 

of Concern—CAWS but that may be 

missing from the list developed for the 

ANS Control Paper; USACE is also 

seeking comments on the included ANS 

Controls. The comment period runs 

from December 21, 2011 through 

February 17, 2012. Comments may be 

submitted in the following ways: 

• GLMRIS project Web site: Use the 

web form found at www.glmris.anl.gov 

through February 17, 2012; 

• Mail: Mail written information to 

GLMRIS ANS Control Comments, 111 

N. Canal, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60606. 

Comments must be postmarked by 

February 17, 2012; and 

• Hand Delivery: Comments may be 

hand delivered to the USACE, Chicago 

District office located at 111 N. Canal 

St., Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60606 

between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Comments 

must be received by Friday, February 

17, 2012. 

USACE will consider all comments 

received during this comment period. If 

necessary, USACE will update the ANS 

Control Paper and in spring 2012, will 

post an updated ANS Control Paper to 

the GLMRIS Web site. 

4. Public Conference Calls. USACE 

will host conference calls on Tuesday, 

January 10, 2012 from 2 p.m.–4 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S. 

Department of Energy Audit Guidance: 

For-Profit Recipients provides 

requirements and guidance for 

independent audit organizations in 

conducting program compliance audits 

of for-profit recipients of federal 

financial assistance from the 

Department of Energy (DOE) under 

Regulation 10 CFR 600.316. The 

requirements for financial statement 

audits of for-profit recipients are not 

provided for under Regulation 10 CFR 

600.316, which applies only to program 

compliance audits. As such, this Audit 

Program and all compliance 

supplements (Parts II and III of this 

guidance) do not apply to financial 

statement audits. Audits of financial 

statements are allowable as indirect 

costs if the recipient normally has 

financial statement audits. However, 

DOE is not requiring an audit of 

financial statements solely to address 

Regulation 10 CFR 600.316, nor are 

financial statement audits allowable as 

direct costs to satisfy the requirements 

of Regulation 10 CFR 600.316. 

Compliance audits as required under 

Regulation 10 CFR 600.316 and this

Audit Program must be conducted in 

accordance with the requirements and 

guidance set forth in Statement on 

Auditing Standards No. 117, 

Compliance Audits (SAS 117) and 

generally accepted government auditing 

standards (GAGAS). The audit 

procedures provided in this Audit 

Program are the minimum necessary for 

uniform and consistent audit coverage. 

DOE seeks comment and information 

on this audit guidance to potentially 

improve the usefulness and clarity of 

the guidance. You may access the 

guidance at: http://energy.gov/
