Federal Register (77 FR 31835) that a 

request for a permit to import and 

receive specimens for scientific research 

had been submitted by the above-named 

applicant. The requested permit has

The permit authorizes the import and

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

Active Duty and activated Reservists in 

the US Military, who enrolled and 

participated in Panels 1, 2, 3, and 4 of 

the Millennium Cohort Study, and

Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement/Environmental 

Impact Report for the Proposed 

Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project 

at Ballona Creek Within the City and 

County of Los Angeles, California 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent—Extension of 

Comment Period for Scoping. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) and the California 

Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) 

intend to jointly prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/ 

EIR) for the proposed Ballona Wetlands 

Restoration Project. The proposed 

project is intended to return the daily 

ebb and flow of tidal waters, maintain 

freshwater circulation, and augment the 

physical and biological functions and 

services in the project area. Restoring 

the wetland functions and services 

would allow native wetland vegetation 

to be reestablished, providing important 

habitat for a variety of wildlife species. 

As a restored site, the Ballona Wetlands 

would play an important role to provide 

seasonal habitat for migratory birds. A 

restored, optimally functioning wetland 

would also benefit the adjacent marine 

environment and enhance the quality of 

tidal waters. The purpose of this notice 

is to inform the public the comment 

period for scoping has been extended to 

October 23, 2012. 

DATES: Comment period for scoping has 

been extended from September 10 to 

October 23, 2012.
