Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2023 / Notices 72439 

the Institute for Water Research 

concluded that Districts only engage 

with aquifer recharge in an ‘‘ad hoc’’ 

manner and recommended that USACE 

‘‘upgrade its internal capacity in MAR.’’ 

(IWR 2020). The WRDA of 2022 

instructs USACE to ‘‘conduct a study at 

Federal expense to determine the 

feasibility of carrying out managed 

aquifer recharge projects to address 

drought, water resiliency, and aquifer 

depletion.’’ Following these 

recommendations, the proposed work 

contributes to the development of 

guidance on MAR. This aligns with 

Civil Works strategies for flood risk 

management, restoration of aquatic 

ecosystems in floodplains, and 

developing environmentally sustainable 

technical services that enhance public 

safety and require collaborative 

partnerships. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers— 

Engineer Research and Development 

Center (ERDC) has partnered with 

Arizona State University (ASU) through 

the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies 

Units (CESU) Network to complete the 

‘‘Managed Aquifer Recharge Planning 

and Guidance Study’’ and meet the 

above goals and directives. The design 

of an effective screening tool and other 

resources for implementing MAR 

requires information held by key 

stakeholders and decision-makers to 

understand the challenges and needs 

associated with implementing MAR in 

regions around the nation. Developing 

the screening tool and other resources 

will further require identifying 

practitioners and stakeholders 

interested in participating in pilot 

projects. 

The ASU Principal Investigator and 

research team will deploy a survey to 

inform the development of a MAR 

screening tool by gathering information 

about the knowledge, perceptions, and 

attitudes of stakeholders and decisionmakers about MAR. The survey will 

target a purposively developed sample 

of key water and floodplain 

stakeholders and decision-makers from 

across the continental United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Exceptional Family Member 

Program (EFMP) Pilot Program 

Evaluation at Travis Air Force Base 

Survey; OMB Control Number 0720– 

EFMP. 

Needs and Uses: David Grant Medical 

Center is taking part in a pilot program 

for EFMP family members. The goal of 

this pilot program is to connect EFMP 

families with quality medical and nonmedical resources to support and care 

for their family members. In this pilot 

program, EFMP family members at 

David Grant are being provided with 

‘‘Care Maps’’ that identify resources 

tailored to their diagnoses. The intent of 

this web-based survey is to solicit 

feedback on the efficacy and usefulness 

of these resources, as well as feedback 

from EFMP families at David Grant that 

have not received specialized maps to 

understand their experience in 

obtaining EFMP care without said 

resources. These results will be used as 

part of a larger evaluation of this pilot 

program, and actions may be taken to 

continue development of the pilot 

program, terminate the pilot program, as 

well as used to identify areas of 

opportunity to better support EFMP 

families based on the feedback and 

insight collected about their current 

experience and challenges. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 183. 

Number of Respondents: 1,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 1,000.
