Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 3, 2013 / Notices 40129 

of intertidal and subtidal hardbottom in 

Reach 8 and 1.05 acres of nearshore 

hardbottom in Reaches 9 and 10 based 

on in-water surveys conducted in 2010 

and 2012, respectively. 

e. Alternatives. An evaluation of 

alternatives to the Applicants’ Proposed 

Action initially being considered 

includes a No Action alternative; beach 

nourishment and dune restoration 

through filling activities, groins, upland 

coastal structural reinforcement/ 

replacement, and combinations of these 

alternatives; alternatives that would 

avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts 

to the aquatic resources; alternative 

practices or analysis methods for 

minimizing or evaluating cumulative 

effects of shoreline stabilization; and 

other reasonable alternatives that will be 

developed through the project scoping 

process which may also meet the 

identified purpose and need. 

f. Issues. The following issues have 

been identified for analysis in the DEIS. 

This list is preliminary and is intended 

to facilitate public comment on the 

scope of the DEIS. The DEIS will 

consider the effects on Federally listed 

threatened and endangered species, 

Essential Fish Habitat, cumulative 

impacts, geology/soils, environmental 

justice, socioeconomic issues, traffic/ 

circulation, noise/vibration, aesthetics, 

general environmental concerns, 

wetlands and other aquatic resources, 

historic properties, cultural resources, 

fish and wildlife values, recreation, air 

quality, water quality, considerations of 

property ownership, sediment budget, 

in general, the needs and welfare of the 

people, and other issues identified 

through scoping, public involvement, 

and interagency coordination. At the 

present time, the primary areas of 

concern are the loss of hardbottom and 

coral habitat, adequate characterization 

of impacts, mitigation of the loss of 

aquatic resources, the proposed projects’ 

effect on fisheries and essential fish 

habitat and on Federally-listed 

threatened and endangered species, the 

potential effect of structures on 

downdrift beaches, and potential 

cumulative effects. The issues of 

concern and the methods used to 

evaluate those issues will be defined 

through the scoping process. 

g. Scoping Process. CEQ regulations 

(40 CFR 1501.7) require an early and 

open process for determining the scope 

of an EIS and for identifying significant 

issues related to the Proposed Action. 

The Corps is furnishing this notice to 

advise other Federal and State agencies, 

affected federally recognized Tribes, and 

the public of our intentions. This notice 

announces the initiation of a 45-day 

scoping period which requests the 

public’s involvement in the scoping and 

evaluation process of the DEIS. 

Stakeholders will be notified through 

advertisements, public notices and other 

means. All parties who express interest 

will be given an opportunity to 

participate in this process. The process 

allows the Corps to obtain suggestions 

and information on the scope of issues 

and an opportunity to provide 

reasonable alternatives to be included in 

the Draft EIS. (See DATES and ADDRESSES

for meeting schedules) 

h. Public Involvement. The Corps 

invites Federal agencies, American 

Indian Tribal Nations, state and local 

governments, and other interested 

private organizations and parties to 

attend the public scoping meetings and 

provide comments in order to ensure 

that all significant issues are identified 

and the full range of issues related to the 

permit request are addressed. 

i. Coordination. The Proposed Action 

is being coordinated with a number of 

Federal, state, regional, and local 

agencies including but not limited to the 

following: U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, U.S. National Marine Fisheries 

Service, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, Florida State 

Historic Preservation Officer, local 

cities, and other agencies as identified 

in scoping, public involvement, and 

agency coordination. 

j. Agency Role. The Corps will be the 

lead agency for the EIS. The Corps 

expects to receive input and critical 

information from the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, U.S. National Marine 

Fisheries Service, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, and other federal, 

state, and local agencies. 

k. Availability of the Draft EIS. The 

Corps currently expects the DEIS to be 

made available to the public by April 

2014. A public meeting will be held 

during the public comment period for 

the DEIS. Written comments will be 

accepted at the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 4, 2013, we published an 

RFI in the Federal Register (78 FR 

14084) to collect information about 

practices used by local educational 

agencies (LEAs) receiving Title III of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act, as amended (ESEA) funds to 

accurately identify Native American 

students in grades K–12 as English 

learners and to appropriately place 

these students in language instruction 

educational programs (LIEPs). The 

deadline for written submissions during 

the initial comment period was May 3, 

2013. We are reopening the comment 

period for written submissions in 

response to the RFI notice through 

August 2, 2013. We are reopening the 

comment period to maximize 

opportunities for State educational 

agencies, LEAs, schools, tribes, and 

other interested entities to identify and 

share practices for accurately 

identifying Native American students 

who are English learners.
