Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 210 / Tuesday, October 31, 2006 / Notices 63755 

Impact Statement (DEIS) that evaluates 

the potential environmental effects of 

the land use agreement between the 

DON and the VA National Cemetery 

Administration (NCA) for the proposed 

annex to the existing Fort Rosecrans 

National Cemetery at Point Loma in San 

Diego, CA. The DEIS also evaluates the 

potential effects of construction and 

operation of the proposed cemetery 

annex. The annex would be located at 

MCAS Miramar, in San Diego, CA. 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to provide needed burial space on 

federal land for military veterans in the 

San Diego area. The DEIS addresses the 

proposed site (Site 2), one on-site 

development alternative (Site 4), and 

the No Action Alternative. 

The DEIS evaluates the potential 

environmental effects associated with 

each of the alternatives. Issues 

addressed in the DEIS include land use, 

socioeconomics/environmental justice, 

utilities, public services, visual 

resources, cultural resources, biological 

resources, soils and geology, water 

resources, public health and safety, 

traffic/circulation, air quality, and noise. 

Impact analyses include an evaluation 

of direct, indirect, short-term, and 

cumulative impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The VA 

operates the Fort Rosecrans National 

Cemetery, located on the Point Loma 

Submarine Base. It is the only national 

cemetery in San Diego County and has 

been closed to casketed burials since 

1966. It is scheduled to be closed to 

cremated remains burials by 2008 and 

has no additional land available for 

expansion. The NCA has identified a 

need for additional burial space option 

for 253,000 San Diego-area eligible 

military veterans for the next 20 to 30 

years. 

A Notice of Intent to prepare the DEIS 

was published in the Federal Register

(Site 2), one on-site development 

alternative (Site 4), and the No Action 

Alternative. The Site 2 Alternative is 

located in the northwestern corner of 

MCAS Miramar. This site is 

approximately 323 acres and has access 

to Miramar Road to the north and Nobel 

Drive to the northwest. The site is 

bounded by Miramar Road to the north, 

the commuter/freight railway to the 

south and east, and the western 

boundary of MCAS Miramar to the west. 

The Site 4 Alternative is located in the 

south-central portion of MCAS Miramar 

in the former Camp Elliott area and is 

approximately 175 acres. The site is 

completely surrounded by freeways 

with State Route 163 to the west, State 

Route 52 to the south, and Interstate 15 

to the east. Kearny Villa Road traverses 

the site in a north-south direction. The 

DEIS identifies the Site 2 Alternative as 

the Preferred Alternative. 

The DEIS has been distributed to 

various federal, state, and local

OMB Number Pending. 

Needs and Uses: This proposed 

information collection activity is 

necessary to meet requirements of the 

Help America Vote Act (HAV) of 2002 

(42 U.S.C. 15301). Section 241 of HAVA 

requires the EAC to study and report on 

election activities, practices, policies, 

and procedures, including methods of 

voter registration, methods of 

conducting provisional voting, poll 

worker recruitment and training, and 

such other matters as the Commission 

determines are appropriate. In addition, 

HAVA transferred to the EAC the 

Federal Election Commission’s 

responsibility of biennially 

administering a survey on the impact of 

the National Voter Registration Act 

(NVRA). The information the States are 

required to submit to the EAC for 

purposes of the NVRA report are found 

under Title 11 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (Chapter 1, Part 8, 

Subchapter C). HAVA § 703(a) also 

amended the Uniformed and Overseas 

Citizens Absentee Voters Act by 

requiring that ‘‘not later than 90 days 

after the date of each regularly 

scheduled general election of Federal 

office, each State and unit of local 

government which administered the 

election shall (through the State, in the 

case of a unit of local government) 

submit a report to the Election 

Assistance Commission (established 

under the Help American Vote Act of 

2002) on the combined number of 

absentee ballots transmitted to absent 

uniformed services voters and overseas 

for the election and the combined 

number of such ballots which were 

returned by such voters and cast in the 

election, and shall make such a report 

available to the general public.’’ In order 

to fulfill these requirements and to 

provide a complete report to Congress, 

the EAC is seeking information relating 

to the period from the close of 

registration for the November 2, 2004, 

Federal general election until the close 

of registration for the November 7, 2006, 

Federal general election, and 

information from the November 7, 2006, 

Federal general election.
