In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activities proposed are categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

As required by the ESA, as applicable, 

issuance of these permit was based on 

a finding that such permits: (1) were 

applied for in good faith; (2) will not 

operate to the disadvantage of such 

endangered species; and (3) are 

consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in Section 2 of the 

ESA. 

Authority: The requested permits 

have been issued under the MMPA of 

1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.), the regulations governing the 

taking and importing of marine 

mammals (50 CFR part 216), the ESA of 

1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226), as applicable.

the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense 

for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency, 4800 Mark Center Drive,

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name, docket 

number and title for this Federal 

Register document. The general policy 

for comments and other submissions

information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on this 

proposed information collection or to 

obtain a copy of the proposal and 

associated collection instruments, 

please write to U.S. Army Corps of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Parks and Recreation Comment 

System (PARCS); OMB Control Number 

0710–PARC. 

Needs and Uses: The Parks and 

Recreation Comment System (PARCS) is 

intended to be a supplemental 

instrument to the mandatory customer 

comment cards which can be utilized 

not only during the optional years but 

would be available anytime the public 

would like to submit comments, 

questions, or concerns about the 

conditions at the project. PARCS is an 

online tool unlike the current comment 

cards and would reduce the use of 

printed materials. Rather than seeking to 

gauge overall visitor satisfaction, this 

tool is intended to collect impromptu 

feedback from visitors with a limited 

scope. Each response is expected to 

relate to one specific issue, essentially 

supplementing other issue reporting 

methods such as phone calls and 

emails. In response to Executive Order 

12862, Setting Customer Service 

Standards, issued on 11 September 

1993, the Corps of Engineers initiated 

development of a comment card 

program for monitoring visitor 

satisfaction at Corps of Engineers lakes 

and projects. E.O. 12862 asks agencies 

to establish customer service standards 

and ‘‘survey customers to determine 

. . . their level of satisfaction with 

existing services.’’ This enterprise 

program allows for the uniform 

collection of customer feedback from 

visitors to USACE parks and visitor 

centers. In 2005, the program was 

expanded to obtain consistent 

information across water resources 

projects with public recreation areas 

requiring mandatory utilization by 

projects in a 3-year cycle beginning in 

2010. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 100. 

Number of Respondents: 1,200. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 1,200. 

Average Burden per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Assessing the Implementation 

and Effectiveness of DOD’s Lethal 

Means Safety (LMS) Outreach Materials; 

OMB Control Number 0704–ALOM. 

Needs and Uses: The Deputy 

Secretary of Defense recently directed 

implementation of Service/Component 

tailored lethal means safety (LMS) 

plans, which leverage the Defense 

Suicide Prevention Office’s (DSPO’s) 

LMS suite of evidence-informed tools. 

In accordance with guidance, and with 

recommendations from the Government 

Accountability Office to assess the 

efficacy of nonclinical suicide 

prevention efforts, DSPO aims to help 

the Services and Components conduct a 

thorough evaluation of their LMS 

outreach efforts. 

DSPO has contracted with CNA to 

assist the Services and Components in 

meeting the requirements set forth in 

DOD Instruction 6490.16 that all suicide 

prevention activities are developed from 

a relevant evidence-base and have an 

evaluation capability prior to 

implementation. CNA, in conjunction 

with the participating Services and 

Components (i.e., Air Force, Army, 

Navy, and SOCOM), propose the 

following information collections 

focused on specific to the needs of each 

respective Service/Component to assess 

the implementation, acceptability, and/ 

or effect of their specific LMS activities 

and materials. Depending on the nature 

of the selected evaluation activities, 

study data will be collected via key 

informant (KI) interviews and/or a 

survey. 

Air Force: The intent of the voluntary 

Air Force Time-Based Prevention (TBP) 

KI Interviews is to help the Air Force 

gain a better understanding of the 

implementation and utility of the Air 

Force’s TBP communications and 

messaging, as well as barriers to 

implementation. 

Army: The intent of voluntary Army 

LMS Toolkit Key Personnel Baseline 

and Follow-up Interviews is to consult 

with key Army personnel to gain a 

better understanding of the 

implementation and utility of the 

Army’s new LMS Toolkit. 

Navy: The intent of voluntary Navy 

Gun Lock Distribution KI interviews is 

to help the Navy evaluate their gun lock 

distribution efforts and learn how the 

Navy may improve its safe storage 

practice materials, outreach, and 

implementation efforts. 

Navy: The intent of the voluntary 

Navy Community Lethal Means Safety 

Survey is to learn about the Navy 

community’s awareness of current lethal 

means safety programs, preferences for 

safety devices and safe storage locations, 

and thoughts about the place of safety 

in Navy culture. 

SOCOM: The intent of the voluntary 

SOCOM LMS Integrated Performance 

Plan (IPP) KI Interviews is to help 

SOCOM gain a better understanding of 

the implementation and utility of 

SOCOM’s LMS IPP and learn how the 

SOCOM Suicide Prevention program 

may improve its LMS materials, 

outreach, and implementation efforts. 

The Services and Components will 

use the results of their respective 

voluntary KI interviews and/or survey 

to tailor their LMS activities, materials, 

messaging, training, and outreach efforts 

to maximize their effectiveness with 

their Service members and 

communities. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households.
