Background

This NCCC Sponsor Survey was developed to evaluate the program’s performance impact on sponsoring organizations and communities. Specifically, NCCC has been asked to develop a set of measures that capture the immediate and long-term outcomes of the NCCC program on the organizations and communities it serves. In order to achieve this goal, NCCC has developed a set of five performance measurement instruments corresponding to the most common service projects requested by the organizations that sponsor NCCC teams in their community. One of these measures, Successful Service Intervention, is universal to all projects,
and measures the success of the NCCC team in completing the stated project goals of the project sponsor. The other four measures correspond to specific activities with volunteers or in disaster, housing, or environmental activities. The surveys will be administered electronically to all project sponsors after each project round is completed. Current Action

This is a new information collection request. The NCCC Sponsor Survey consists of a menu of five performance surveys of approximately 10 questions each. All sponsors will receive their survey as a single instrument. The individual survey will be generated based on the project type and applicability of each survey to the specific project. Each sponsor survey will begin with the Successful Service Intervention survey, and include one or more of the other four surveys depending on project type. It is estimated that an average survey will consist of two to three of the survey sections. No survey will include all five

sections.

Type of Review: New. Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.

Title: NCCC Sponsor Survey. OMB Number: None. Agency Number: None. Affected Public: The NCCC sponsor survey will be administered to the project sponsor for any NCCC service project. These sponsors apply to receive a 10-person NCCC team for a period of six–eight weeks to implement local service projects. There are approximately 165 projects in each of four project rounds per year. The project sponsors are uniquely able to provide the information sought in the NCCC Sponsor Survey.

Total Respondents: Based on the number of projects completed last fiscal year, NCCC expects to administer 660 surveys each fiscal year. These may not be unique responders as many sponsors receive teams on a rotating basis and thus may complete the survey more than once per year. Assuming the distribution of project types remains constant, the number of survey sections completed by a given sponsor will be
distributed as follows: One section—54 respondents; two sections—228 respondents; three sections—270 respondents; four sections—108 respondents.

Frequency: Quarterly distribution. Each sponsor will complete only one survey per project.

Average Time per Response: One

section—8 minutes.

Two sections—15 minutes. Three sections—22 minutes.
Four sections—30 minutes. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 217 hours.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintenance): None.

**Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for**  **the Disposal and Reuse of Naval Air Station Brunswick, ME** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of the Navy, DoD.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), the Department of the Navy (DoN) with
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acting as a cooperating agency, has prepared and filed the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluating the potential environmental consequences associated with the disposal and reuse of Naval Air Station (NAS) Brunswick, Maine. The DoN is required to close NAS Brunswick per Public Law 101–510, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as
amended in 2005.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Director, BRAC Program Management Office Northeast, 4911 South Broad Street, Building 679, Philadelphia, PA 19112–1303, telephone 215–897–4900, fax 215–897–4902, e-mail: david.drozd@navy.mil

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  DoN acting as a lead agency with the FAA acting as a cooperating agency had prepared and filed the Notice of Intent for the EIS, published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2008, and the Draft EIS published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010, in accordance with requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. Sections 4321–4345) and its implementing regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508). The purpose of the proposed action is to dispose of NAS Brunswick, Maine in a manner
consistent with the Brunswick Naval
Air Station Reuse Master Plan as developed by the Brunswick Local Redevelopment Authority (BLRA) in December 2007. The DoN is required to close NAS Brunswick, Maine in accordance with Public Law 101–510,
the Defense Base closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as amended in
2005. NAS Brunswick must be closed on or before September 15, 2011. This
EIS has indentified and considered two alternatives for the disposal and reuse of NAS Brunswick, and the no-action
alternative.

Alternative 1 includes the disposal of NAS Brunswick and its outlying properties by the DoN and its reuse in
a manner consistent with the Brunswick
Naval Air Station Reuse Master Plan.
This alternative would maintain the existing airfield for private aviation purposes. It is anticipated that full
build-out of the Plan would be implemented over a 20-year period. The
Brunswick Naval Air Station Reuse Master Plan calls for the development of approximately 1,630 acres (51%) of the total base property. In addition, approximately 1,570 acres (49%) of the base would be dedicated to a variety of active and passive land uses, including recreation, open space, and natural areas. The plan reuses the existing airfield and its supporting infrastructure, provides a mix of land use types and densities, and preserves open space and natural areas. The DoN has recognized Alternative 1 as the preferred alternative.

Alternative 2 includes the disposal of NAS Brunswick and its outlying properties by the DoN and its reuse in a manner that features a higher density of residential and community mixed-use development and does not include reuse of the airfield. Similar to Alternative 1,
this alternative includes a mix of land use types, preserves open space and natural areas. It is anticipated that full build-out of the high-density scenario would be implemented over a 20-year period. Under Alternative 2 there would be development of approximately 1,580 acres (49%) of the total base property. In addition, approximately 1,620 acres (51%) of the base would be dedicated to a variety of active and passive land uses, including recreation, open space, and natural areas. Although this alternative would have less developable acres than Alternative 1, the density of residential and community mixed-uses would be higher.

Alternative 3 is required by NEPA and evaluates the impacts at NAS Brunswick in the event that the property is not disposed. Under this alternative, existing mission and support operations would be relocated; however, the installation would be retained by the U.S. government in caretaker status. No reuse or redevelopment would occur at the facility. The Final EIS addresses environmental impacts of each alternative pertaining to the disposal
and reuse of the NAS Brunswick property.

The Final EIS addresses any potential environmental impacts under each
alternative associated with: water resources; air quality; biological resources; soils, topography, and geology; land use; noise exposure levels; socioeconomic resources; community facilities; transportation; environmental management; infrastructure; and cultural resources. The analyses includes direct and indirect impacts, and accounts for cumulative impacts from other foreseen Federal, State, or
local activities at and around NAS
Brunswick. The Final EIS has been distributed to various Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as other
interested individuals and organizations. In addition, copies of the
Final EIS have been distributed to the following libraries and publicly accessible facilities for public review: 1. Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant

Street, Brunswick, ME 04011–2261.
