SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

The NCCC accomplishes its mission 

by working with local community 

organizations and groups to help them 

meet needs that they have identified 

and that would not be fully addressed 

without additional assistance. Potential 

sponsors are required to submit an 

application that outlines project goals 

and activities. Because we are recruiting 

and expect to complete additional 

projects, we have increased the total 

number of respondents and total burden 

hours. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew and 

revise the current applications. The 

revisions will correct program 

information and update program 

locations and geographical jurisdictions. 

Updated program language will also be 

provided to clarify roles and 

responsibilities. 

The application will otherwise be 

used in the same manner as the existing 

application. The Corporation also seeks 

to continue using the current 

application until the revised application 

is approved by OMB. The current 

application is due to expire on 

December 31, 2006. 

Type of Review: Renewal.

Community Service.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Proposed Dredging of the Norfolk 

Harbor Channel, Norfolk and 

Portsmouth, Virginia and To Announce 

Public Scoping Meetings 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, as implemented by the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

the Department of the Navy (DoN) 

announces its intent to prepare an EIS 

to evaluate the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the dredging of 

4.8 miles of Norfolk Harbor Channel in 

the Elizabeth River. The proposed 

channel deepening project is located in 

the Federal navigation channel in 

Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia. 

Discussions are underway with the 

United States Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE) to be a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the EIS. The EIS will 

consider reasonable alternatives to the 

proposed action, including the No 

Action Alternative. 

DATES: Public scoping meetings will be 

held in Norfolk, Virginia and 

Portsmouth, Virginia, to receive oral 

and/or written comments on 

environmental concerns that should be 

addressed in the EIS. The public 

scoping meetings will be held on: 

1. Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 3 

p.m.–8 p.m., Hilton Norfolk Airport, 

1500 North Military Highway, Norfolk, 

Virginia. 

2. Thursday, October 5, 2006, 3–8 

p.m., Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel & 

Waterfront Conference Center, 425 

Water Street, Portsmouth, Virginia. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

John Conway, Environmental Planning 

Section, Naval Facilities Engineering 

Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, 6506 

Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, Virginia 

23508–1278; telephone 757–322–4761 

or fax 757–594–1469. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed action is to deepen 

approximately 4.8 miles of the Norfolk 

Harbor Channel located in the southern 

branch of the Elizabeth River in 

southeastern Virginia. The project in the 

Federal navigation channel will extend 

from the vicinity of Lambert’s Bend into 

Middle Reach to a point just north of the 

confluence of Paradise Creek and the 

Elizabeth River at the entrance of the 

Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY). The 

proposed deepening will provide CVN 

class carriers with safe and unrestricted 

access to the Deperming Station and 

NNSY. The project will dredge the 

Federal navigation channel in the 

vicinity of the Lambert’s Point 

Deperming Station to a depth of 50 feet 

below mean low low water (MLLW) 

plus an additional one feet of allowable 

over dredge. The remainder of the 

Federal navigation channel will be 

dredged to a depth of 47 feet MLLW 

with an additional one feet of allowable 

overdredge. The proposed deepening 

will generate approximately 5.4 million 

cubic yards of dredged material. It is 

anticipated that this dredged material 

will be placed at the USACE’s regional 

dredged material disposal site on 

Craney Island in Portsmouth, Virginia. 

Current Federal navigation channel 

depths impede access/egress to the 

deperming station and there have been 

numerous incidents of fouling and 

clogging of cooling systems of the CVN 

carriers while in transit in the channel. 

The project is required in order to bring 

the Federal navigation channel in 

compliance with DoN requirements for 

water depth beneath the keel, for both 

operational and ‘‘dead stick’’ (towing) 

transits of CVN 68 and non-CVN 68 

Class carriers. Adequate channel depths 

are needed for the safe and efficient 

transit of CVN Class Aircrafeet Carriers 

to maintain fleet readiness. The current 

condition of the Norfolk Harbor Channel 

is not acceptable and prevents full 

operational capability and CVN access 

to Lambert’s Point Deperming Station 

and NNSY. 

The Norfolk Harbor Channel is the 

only means of CVN access to the 

deperming station and NNSY. Only 

alternatives that will satisfy the required 

channel depths for CVN transits are 

considered by the Navy to be 

reasonable. In addition to the proposed 

deepening program, Navy is considering 

an alternative involving a combination 

of partial channel dredging and 

operational restrictions based on tidal 

activity. Under this alternative 

approach, the Federal navigation 

channel would be dredged to 45 feet 

below MLLW, and 2.5 feet tidal 

fluctuations would be used to provide 

the remaining depth required for 

adequate keel clearance. It should be 

noted that this alternative would 

continue to impose limitations on the 

operational capability and readiness of 

the CVN fleet. A No Action Alternative 

will also be evaluated in the EIS. 

The EIS will address the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and its alternatives, including the 

No Action Alternative. Key 

environmental issues that will be 

addressed in the EIS include marine 

biological resources including Essential 

Fish Habitat, fisheries, marine 

mammals, invertebrates, and threatened 

and endangered species; water quality; 

cultural resources; human health and 

safety; and socioeconomics and land use 

(i.e., commercial, private, and 

recreational uses of the marine 

environment); and cumulative impacts. 

The Navy is initiating this scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and issues that should be addressed in 

the EIS. Federal, State, and local 

agencies, the public, and interested 

parties are encouraged to provide 

comments to DoN that clearly describe 

specific issues or topics of 

environmental concern that the 

commenter believes the DoN should 

consider. All comments, written or 

provided orally at the scoping meetings, 

will receive the same attention and 

consideration during EIS preparation. 

Written comments on the scope of the 

EIS should be postmarked no later than 

Thursday, October 19, 2006. These 

comments may be mailed or faxed to:

Planning Section, NAVFAC Atlantic,
