Review 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (hereinafter the 

‘‘Corporation’’), submitted the following 

information collection request (ICR) to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and clearance in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (PRA 95) (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35). The Corporation 

requested that OMB review and approve 

its emergency request by August 15, 

2011, for a period of six months. A copy 

of this ICR, with applicable supporting 

documentation, may be obtained by 

contacting Amy Borgstrom, (202) 606– 

6930 or by e-mail at 

aborgstrom@cns.gov. 

Unfortunately, since the Corporation 

requested OMB’s approval of this 

emergency request by August 15, 2011, 

there will be not enough time for the 

public to provide comments through 

this Federal Register Notice before the 

approval date. Therefore, there will be 

no comment period for this request. 

Type of Review: Emergency request. 

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

Title: AmeriCorps State and National 

Application Instructions. 

OMB Number: 3045–0047. 

Agency Number: None. 

Affected Public: Nonprofit 

organizations and congregations. 

Total Respondents: 600. 

Frequency: One time. 

Average Time per Response: 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 24,000 

hours. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

None. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintenance): None. 

Description: The Corporation for 

National and Community Service (the 

‘‘Corporation’’) has amended several 

provisions relating to the AmeriCorps 

national service program, and has added 

rules to clarify the Corporation’s 

requirements for national performance 

measures, fixed amount grants, and 

grantmaking criteria to align with the 

Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. 

We also have a new Strategic Plan in 

place. The implementation of these 

changes through the rulemaking process 

includes ensuring the Corporation’s 

information collection instruments 

accurately reflect these issues. In an 

effort to be compliant while maintaining 

functions essential to the operations of 

each state commission and AmeriCorps 

programs, we are therefore submitting 

the enclosed request under 5 CFR 

1320.13 to OMB for emergency 

processing and approval of information 

collection activities. This submission 

includes one set of Application 

Instructions for AmeriCorps State and 

National grants. 

Since the passage of the Edward M. 

Kennedy Serve America Act, many 

Americans have expressed a renewed 

desire to serve their country by 

volunteering in their community. Now, 

we have an obligation to ensure that 

Americans have quality opportunities to 

serve. Moreover, as the Corporation and 

OMB have previously communicated, 

the Corporation is working hard to 

ensure it is fully compliant with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act and with 

OMB’s information collection policies 

and procedures. 

If you have any questions, contact 

Amy Borgstrom at 202–606–6930 or 

aborgstrom@cns.gov. We sincerely 

thank you for your consideration of this

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for a Study on the Feasibility of 

Deepening Charleston Harbor 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps), Charleston District, 

intends to prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), 

for the Charleston Harbor Deepening 

Study (Post-45 study). The purpose of 

this DEIS and feasibility study is to 

investigate modification of the existing 

Charleston Harbor project in the interest 

of navigation improvements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the proposed action 

and DEIS can be directed to: Mark 

Messersmith, (843) 329–8162, ChasPost45–Comments@usace.army.mil, 69

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

a. Background: Since 2000, the total 

value of international trade has risen by 

over 40 percent and it is becoming a 

larger part of our national economy. The 

combined value of foreign trade 

(imports and exports) represented 13 

percent of GDP in 1990, rising to nearly 

22 percent in 2006. If this trend 

continues, it is projected that the value 

of U.S. foreign trade will be equivalent 

to 35 percent of the Nation’s GDP in 

2020 and 60 percent in 2030. Marine 

transportation will become even more 

important to our economy as 95 percent 

of America’s foreign trade is moved by 

ship. To sustain expected growth, it is 

estimated the U.S. must expand its 

overall port capacity by 10 percent 

annually. This would require port 

expansion, mainly on the West Coast, 

Gulf Coast and South Atlantic. That is 

the equivalent of adding capacity equal 

to the Port of Oakland every year. 

The Charleston port district’s ranking 

as a global trading port is consistently 

in the top ten nationally in container 

traffic and cargo value. In 2009, the 

Charleston port district was ranked 

ninth (out of 200 deep-draft ports) in 

cargo value, and ninth (out of 80 

container ports) in container traffic. 

Shipping trends in Charleston show 

adherence to projections for 

considerable growth in ship size, in all 

three dimensions, draft, beam, and 

length. As economies of scale and 

improved vessel technologies have 

driven ship sizes larger, the world’s port 

infrastructure must be rapidly expanded 

in channel depths and widths and 

terminal capacity to accommodate larger 

ships. The number of ports able to 

handle larger vessels around the world 

is growing, and, most importantly, the 

Panama Canal is currently expanding 

lock capacity to handle ships of 25% 

greater draft (up to 50 ft), 52% greater 

beam (up to 160 feet), and 30% greater 

length (up to 1250 feet). Ships have 

been under construction for several 

years to be ready for the new canal 

capacity when the new Panama Canal 

locks open in 2014. 

b. Objectives: There is opportunity to 

deepen the navigation channel at 

Charleston Harbor to accommodate 

larger container vessels. Particularly 

important is the great increase in the 

deployment of those vessels, which is 

occurring now and expected to increase 

when the Panama Canal Expansion 

Project is completed in 2014. These 

larger vessels, commonly referred to in 

the shipping industry as the ‘‘Super 

Post-Panamax’’ vessels, are expected to 

comprise greater percentages of vessel 

fleet composition over the next several 

decades. This transition to larger vessels 

is expected to occur rapidly and current 

Panamax vessels are expected to no 

longer be used in the Asia service by 

2024. Additional depth would be 

required to serve existing users of 

Charleston Harbor by that time, as the 

transition from the current Panamax 

fleet is complete. 

c. Alternatives: The reconnaissance 

level alternatives analysis does not 

constitute a complete analysis of the full 

array of potential alternatives nor does 

it define a preferred alternative or 

National Economic Development (NED) 

plan. Detailed analyses are expected to 

be conducted in the proposed feasibility 

phase and would likely involve 

evaluation of all alternatives to address 

the problems and opportunities. The 

array of alternatives that may be 

examined in the feasibility study would 

likely include navigational 

improvements to some or all of the 

channels in Charleston Harbor, 

including (1) deepening channel(s) up 

to 50 feet MLLW or more, (2) widening 

channel(s), (3) adjusting existing 

channel alignments/bend easing, and (4) 

widening and/or lengthening turning 

basins. 

During the feasibility phase, 

Charleston Harbor will be evaluated to 

identify the extent to which the array of 

alternatives will be applied to each 

reach of the Federal Navigation 

Channel. Problems and opportunities 

pertinent to each reach will be 

identified and investigated. A matrix of 

reach specific alternative plans will be 

developed and evaluated to produce a 

recommended plan for improvements to 

Charleston Harbor. This process will 

include the appropriate level of 

engineering, economic, and 

environmental analyses to identify all 

possible benefits and impacts associated 

with the projected navigational 

improvements. 

Additional channel depth would 

allow current and future shippers to 

more fully utilize larger class vessels 

and would reduce future anticipated 

congestion. The current depth of the 

existing inner harbor channel is 45 feet 

MLLW. The Entrance Channel from the 

Atlantic Ocean through the jetties is 47
