normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

mandated by the 2005 BRAC 

Commission’s recommendations, the 

FEIS addresses alternatives that include 

renovation of existing facilities and 

construction of new facilities required 

to accommodate incoming military 

missions and a net gain of about 4,400 

people at Aberdeen Proving Ground. 

Activities realigning to Aberdeen 

Proving Ground are administrative and 

research and development in nature. 

Direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts 

of the Proposed Action have been 

considered. The FEIS has determined 

that the Proposed Action will result in 

potentially significant impacts to 

transportation and socioeconomics. the 

FEIS addresses several suggested 

improvements developed to lessen the 

impacts of the Proposed Action. 

Depending on the final siting of some 

facilities, there is the potential for 

significant impacts to cultural resources 

due to adverse effects resulting from 

disturbance or destruction of certain 

sites and buildings during renovation 

and construction activities. Impacts to 

these cultural resources would be direct, 

long-term, and significant. No other 

significant beneficial or significant 

adverse impacts have been identified for 

land use, aesthetics and visual 

resources, air quality, noise, geology and 

soil, water resources, biological 

resources, utilities, or hazardous and 

toxic substances. The No Action 

alternative provides the baseline 

conditions for comparison to the 

Proposed Alternative. 

An electronic version of the FEIS is 

available for download on the U.S. 

Army BRAC Division Web site at: 

http://www.hqda.army.mil/acsim/brac/ 

nepa_eis_docs.htm. 

A Record of Decision will be signed 

at the end of the 30-day waiting period.

Environmental Impact Statement To 

Evaluate Construction of Authorized 

Improvements to the Federal 

Pascagoula Harbor Navigation Project 

in Jackson County, MS 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice of availability 

announces the public release of the 

Draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (DSEIS) to evaluate 

construction of authorized 

improvements to the Federal Pascagoula 

Harbor Navigation Project in Jackson 

County, MS. The Mobile District, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 

published in the Federal Register, June 

14, 2006, (71 FR 34320) a Notice of 

Intent to Prepare a DSEIS to address the 

potential impacts associated with 

construction of authorized 

improvements to the Federal Pascagoula 

Harbor Navigation Project in Jackson 

County, MS. The DSIES was used as a 

basis to ensure compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and for evaluating the following 

two alternative plans: ‘‘No Action’’ and 

deepening the federally authorized 

project from 38 feet to 42 feet deep in 

the Upper Pascagoula channel, 

deepening the Horn Island 

Impoundment Basin from 44 feet to 56 

feet, and widening the Gulf Entrance 

Channel from 450 feet to 550 feet wide. 

Pascagoula Harbor is authorized to (a) 

An entrance channel 44 deep and 550 

feet wide from the Gulf of Mexico to 

Horn Island Pass, a channel 44 feet deep 

and 600 feet wide through Horn Island 

Pass, including a sediment trap situated 

on the east side of the channel 1,500 feet 

long, 56 feet deep, and 175 feet wide; (b) 

A channel 42 feet deep and 350 feet 

wide in Mississippi Sound and the 

Pascagoula River to the railroad bridge 

at Pascagoula, including a turning basin 

2,000 feet long and 950 feet wide 

(including the channel area) on the west 

side of the river below the railroad 

bridge; (c) A channel 42 feet deep 

throughout and 350 feet wide from the 

ship channel in Mississippi Sound to 

the 1,150-foot turning basin at the 

mouth of Bayou Casotte, then 350 feet 

wide for about one mile to the northern 

turning basin, 900 feet wide and 1,750 

feet long; (d) A channel 22 feet deep and 

150 feet wide up Pascagoula River from 

the railroad bridge to the mouth of 

Escatawpa River (Dog River), thence up 

the Escatawpa River to the Highway 613 

Bridge; (e) A channel 12 feet deep and 

125 feet wide from the Highway 613 

Bridge, via Robertson and Bounds Lakes 

to mile 6.0 on the Escatawpa River; and 

(f) A channel 12 feet deep by 80 feet 

extending from deep water in the 

Pascagoula River to a turning basin in 

Krebs Lake a distance of about 1,500 

feet, then along the south bank of the 

lake a channel 10 feet deep and 60 feet 

wide, terminating at a second turning 

basin, a distance of 2,700 feet from the 

first. The tentatively recommended 

alternative includes construction of the 

authorized project dimensions.

Availability for Non-Exclusive,

Licensing of U.S. Patent Concerning a 

Real-Time Imaging Spectropolarimeter 

Based on an Optical Modulator 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 

404.6 and 404.7, announcement is made 

of the availability for licensing of the 

invention set forth in U.S. Patent No. 

7,023,546 entitled ‘‘A Real-Time 

Imaging Spectropolarimeter Based on an 

Optical Modulator,’’ issued on April 4, 

2006. The United States Government, as 

represented by the Secretary of the 

Army, has rights in this invention.

Applications, e-mail: 

susan.mcrae@smdc.army.mil; (256) 

955–1501. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

invention pertains to measuring the 

state of polarization and the spectral 

content of each picture element (pixel) 

of a target scene in real time. An 

imaging spectropolarimenter includes 

an objective optic for receiving an 

electromagnetic signal and a modulator 

for modulating the electromagnetic 

signal. The amplitude of each frequency 

component of the resulting modulated 

electromagnetic signal is a function of 

the particular polarization state of each 

frequency component of the 

electromagnetic signal. A linear 

polarizer passes a single polarization of 

the modulated electromagnetic signal to 

a tunable filter, which is tunable 

through a frequency spectrum. The 

tunable filter outputs a plurality of 

electromagnetic signal samples at 

predetermined frequency increments. A 

focal plane array receives each 

electromagnetic signal sample and 

outputs a spectrum signal, and a 

processor applies Fourier 

transformation to the spectrum signal to 

obtain at least one Stokes polarization 

vector component for each pixel within 

the scene.
