claim examiners use the information

from these forms to determine the

degree of benefits. Without this

collection of information, proof of an

entitlement to a benefit would not exist.

This collection also decreases the

possibility of monetary allowances

dependents. The requirement to

complete this form helps alleviate the

opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse

of dependent benefits.

Cooperative Research and

Development Agreement for Proximity

Sensor Technology

AGENCY: U.S. Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the United States Army Tankautomotive and Armaments Command,

Armament Research, Development and

Engineering Center (TACOM–ARDEC)

has entered into a Cooperative Research

and Development Agreement (CRADA)

with KDI Precision Products, Inc. to

explore the feasibility of adapting Army

proximity sensor technology for

potential use in proximity sensor

applications for other military munition

items and non-military applications.

The goal of this collaborative effort is to

provide a variety of proximity sensor

users (e.g. military munitions,

intelligent highway collision-avoidance

sensors, proximity sensors used in

machine control and robotics

applications) with a low cost and

reliable proximity sensor alternative to

current technology. Any others wishing

to pursue the possibility of a CRADA for

similar activities should contact

TACOM–ARDEC at the address below.

Intent to Prepare an Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Tres

Rios Feasibility Study, Maricopa

County, Arizona

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The Los Angeles District

intends to prepare an EIS to support the

proposed Federal action associated with

a feasibility study along the Salt River

between 83rd Avenue and the

confluence of the Agua Fria River in

Maricopa County, Arizona. The purpose

of the study is to examine water

resources opportunities in the study

area including ecosystem restoration,

flood control, water quality, water

supply and recreation. The proposed

project alternatives would address these

specific areas of concern, as well as a no

action alternative. The EIS will analyze

potential impacts on the environment of

a range of alternatives, including the

recommended plan.
