Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 57 / Thursday, March 24, 2011 / Notices 16621 

Estuarine Research Reserve contains the 

collective vision, mission, goals, and 

objectives of the reserve; updates the 

reserve boundary; as well as outlines 

plans for facility use and development 

to support reserve operations. The 

objectives described in this plan address 

the most critical coastal issues of the 

reserve related to water quality (nonpoint source pollution), invasive 

species, habitat loss and regional 

ecosystem impacts of climate change. 

Since the last approved management 

plan in 2000, the reserve has become 

fully staffed; added a Coastal Training 

Program that delivers science-based 

information to key decisionmakers; and 

developed partnerships to continue to 

restore and protect land and waters in 

the Old Woman Creek watershed. In 

addition to programmatic and staffing 

advances, the reserve has completed 

construction of a new dormitory, 

boathouse, and administrative spaces. 

This management plan includes a 

boundary expansion of 2.2 acres. This 

land was incorporated with the State 

nature preserve in 2004 and is subject 

to all protection afforded by Ohio laws 

governing State nature preserves. The 

additional parcel is adjacent to the 

reserve’s southwestern boundary and 

consists of early successional habitat 

(e.g., various Cornus sp.) and will 

become an area dominated by mixed 

hardwoods. Incorporating these lands 

increases the size of the reserve to 573 

acres. This plan can be accessed for 

review at: http://

Critical Materials Strategy Request for 

Information 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of Request 

for Information (RFI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is seeking information 

from stakeholders on rare earth 

elements and other materials used in 

energy technologies to support analyses 

updating its 2010 Critical Materials 

Strategy. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information or to obtain a copy 

of this Request for Information (RFI), 

please contact DOE at 

materialstrategy@hq.doe.gov or call 

202–586–5800. The RFI is also available 

on DOE’s Web site at http:// 

www.pi.energy.gov. 

DATES: Responses to the RFI are due no 

later than 5 p.m. (EDT) on May 24, 2011. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Last year, 

DOE issued its first Critical Materials 

Strategy. This year, DOE will update its 

analysis. The responses to this RFI will 

help DOE develop a more detailed 

picture of technology material content, 

supply chain structure, financing, R&D, 

energy technology transitions and 

recycling. This information will help 

DOE to analyze material criticality and 

determine the best policies to promote 

diverse, sustainable and economical 

supplies, as well as efficient use.
