Economic Development Administration 

(EDA) has received petitions for 

certification of eligibility to apply for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance from the 

firms listed below. EDA has initiated 

separate investigations to determine 

whether increased imports into the 

United States of articles like or directly 

competitive with those produced by 

each firm contributed importantly to the 

total or partial separation of the firm’s 

workers, or threat thereof, and to a 

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Hurricane and Storm Damage 

Reduction for South Ponte Vedra 

Beach, Vilano Beach, and Summer 

Haven Beach Reaches, St. Johns 

County, FL 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Jacksonville District, intends 

to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS) for evaluation of the 

feasibility of providing hurricane and 

storm damage reduction (HSDR), and 

related purposes to the shores of St. 

Johns County, Florida. In cooperation 

with St. Johns County, the study will 

evaluate alternatives that will maximize 

HSDR while minimizing environmental 

impacts within three reaches designated 

critically eroded by Florida Department 

of Environmental Protection (FDEP): (1) 

South Ponte Vedra Beach (R84–R110/5 

miles), (2) Vilano Beach (R110–R122/2.5 

miles) and (3) Summer Haven Beach 

(R197–R209/2.3 miles).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Paul M. DeMarco, by e-mail 

Paul.M.DeMarco@usace.army.mil or by 

telephone at 904–232–1897. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

a. Proposed Action. The Rivers and 

Harbors Act of 1962 gave the Secretary 

of the Army broad authorization to 

survey coastal areas of the United States 

and its possessions in the interest of 

beach erosion control, hurricane 

protection and related purposes, 

provided that surveys of particular areas 

would be authorized by appropriate 

resolutions (Pub. L. 87–874, Section 

110). As a result, portions of the St. 

Johns County shoreline experiencing 

severe erosion were studied extensively. 

The St. Johns County, Florida General 

Reevaluation Report (GRR) (USACE 

1998), recommended beach 

nourishment along St. Augustine Beach. 

Initial fill was completed in January 

2003. 

Authority for the proposed study is 

House Resolution 2646 adopted June 21, 

2000. A Reconnaissance Report 

completed in March 2004, by the Corps, 

concluded based on preliminary 

findings, there was a federal interest in 

pursuing HSDR for the Vilano Beach 

and Summer Haven Beach reaches. 

Subsequent to the completion of that 

report, South Ponte Vedra Beach 

experienced severe erosion, was 

designated as a critically eroded beach 

by FDEP, and therefore added to the 

scope of the Federal study. 

b. Alternatives. Project’s alternatives 

include no action and various levels of 

protection along approximately 9.8 

miles of coastal shoreline along three 

reaches designated as critically eroded 

areas. In addition to various levels of 

beach nourishment and periodic 

renourishment, the Corps will consider 

other management measures such as 

nearshore placement of sand, 

breakwaters, submerged artificial reef, 

groins, revetments, seawalls, dunes/ 

vegetation, change to the Coastal 

Construction Control Line, relocation of 

structures, moratorium on construction, 

establish a no-growth program, 

relocation of structures, flood proofing 

of structures, and condemnation of 

structures with land acquisition. 

c. Scoping Process. The scoping 

process as outlined by the Council on 

Environmental Quality has been and 

will continue to be utilized to involve 

Federal, State, and local agencies, 

affected Indian tribes, and other 

interested persons and organizations. 

Scoping letters were sent to the 

appropriate parties requesting their 

comments and concerns on August 17, 

2005, for the Summer Haven and Vilano 

Beach reaches of the study area. After 

that time, FDEP designated the South 

Ponte Vedra Reach as critically eroding. 

A second scoping letter was sent out on 

September 16, 2008, to include the 

South Ponte Vedra Reach in the study 

area. Initial comments and concerns 

have been received. Any additional 

persons and organizations wishing to 

participate in the scoping process 

should contact the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers at the above address. 

Significant issues to be analyzed in 

the DEIS would include effects on 

Federally listed threatened and 

endangered species, and Essential Fish 

Habitat. Other issues would be health 

and safety, water quality, aesthetics and 

recreation, fish and wildlife resources, 

cultural resources, and socio-economic 

resources. Issues identified through 

scoping and public involvement thus far 

include loss of land and property due to 

erosion, lack of protection from 

hurricanes, loss of recreational beach, 

concern over impacts to sea turtles and 

shore birds from renourishment, 

concern over impacts to benthic 

organisms from mining and fill, concern 

over protecting surfing spots and the 

revenue they generate, concern over 

wasting Federal tax dollars, too much 

time since the first studies without 

positive results, and concern that 

revetments and seawalls harm sea turtle 

nesting. 

Any proposed action would be 

coordinated with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and the National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 

pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered 

Species Act, and with the State Historic 

Preservation Officer. The NMFS Habitat 

Conservation Division (HCD) has 

accepted cooperating agency status on 

the study. 

Any proposed action would also 

involve evaluation for compliance with 

guidelines pursuant to section 404(b) of 

the Clean Water Act; application (to the 

State of Florida) for Water Quality 

Certification pursuant to section 401 of 

the Clean Water Act; certification of 

state lands, easements, and rights of 

way; and determination of Coastal Zone 

Management Act consistency. The FDEP 

Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems 

(BBCS) has also accepted cooperating 

agency status on the study. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the non-Federal sponsor, St. Johns 

County, would provide extensive 

information and assistance on the 

resources to be impacted and 

alternatives. 

d. Scoping Meetings. Public scoping 

meetings could be held. Exact dates, 

times, and locations would be published 

in local papers. 

e. Agency Role. As the cooperating 

agency, NMFS HCD and FDEP BBCS 

will provide information and assistance 

on the resources to be impacted, 

mitigation measures and alternatives. 

Other agencies having either regulatory 

authority or special expertise may also 

be invited to become a cooperating 

agency in preparation of the EIS. 

Specifically, as a Federal agency with 

jurisdiction to manage resources 

available on the Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS), the U.S. Minerals Management 

Service would be invited should 

potential borrow areas be identified 

within Federal waters (outside the 3- 

mile State statutory limit). 

f. Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement Availability. The study 

schedule is dependent upon 

Congressional funding and the current 

estimate is for the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement to be available on or 

after 2012. 

Dated: March 25, 2010.

Department of the Army 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for Training Range and Garrison 

Support Facilities Construction and 

Operation at Fort Stewart, GA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

has prepared a DEIS to analyze the 

environmental and socioeconomic 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

construction of 12 range projects and 2 

garrison support facilities at Fort 

Stewart, Georgia. Completion of these 

projects will better allow the Army to 

support Soldier training requirements 

and will support Fort Stewart’s existing 

and future units. Construction of these 

projects will help to ensure Fort Stewart 

can meet unit training requirements if 

and when the pace of operational 

deployments slows. 

DATES: The public comment period will 

end 45 days after the publication of an 

NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: For further information 

regarding the EIS, please contact Mr. 

Charles Walden, Project Manager, 

Directorate of Public Works, Prevention 

and Compliance Branch, Environmental 

Division, 1550 Frank Cochran Drive,
