RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

STORAGE:

Electronic records stored on magnetic

and/or optical media.

RETRIEVABILITY:

Annual Beneficiary Survey:

1. Beneficiary Records: Records of

beneficiaries who have or have not

responded to the survey may be

retrieved by patient identifiers such as

name, address, sponsor Social Security

Number, family member prefix code,

and demographic categories such as age,

sex, military rank group (officer/

enlisted/civilian).

2. Response Records: Survey data is

normally retrieved using demographic

or other non-personalized elements.

3. The beneficiary and response

records contain a randomly generated

code which permits the identification of

the survey respondent.

Customer Satisfaction Survey:

1. Beneficiary Records: Records of

beneficiaries who have been mailed a

survey may be retrieved by name and

address, but the beneficiary identifying

personal data is deleted 20 days after

the mailing of the survey when followup correspondence (a reminder) is sent

to all individuals being surveyed.

2. Response Records: Records of care

providers who furnished care at a

specific facility/clinic may be retrieved

only by the facility/clinic commander

by name, rank (if military), provider

type (e.g., physician, clinical nurse, etc.)

and specialty (e.g., pediatrician.

SAFEGUARDS:

Media at the primary location are

stored in a locked cage in a controlled

access area when not in use; when

maintained at the contract location,

media are stored in cabinets or storage

areas when not being used and are

placed in a locked container or space

within a building that is secured after

hours. Result data that includes patient

or provider identification is maintained

in locked storage cabinets or locked

areas in buildings that are secured after

hours. Only authorized personnel who

have received Privacy Act training are

permitted access to information in the

system.

Specific instructions are provided

MTF commanders on the safeguards

required in handling and maintaining

Customer Satisfaction Survey

Availability of the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS) for the

Proposed Rio Salado Environmental

Restoration, Salt River and Indian

Bend Wash, Cities of Phoenix and

Tempe, Maricopa County, AZ

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Los Angeles District, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers has prepared a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement and a

Feasibility Report for the Proposed Rio

Salado Environmental Restoration

which will restore native type habitat

along a five mile stretch of the Salt River

in downtown Phoenix, and along lower

Indian Bend Wash, and along the Salt

River upstream and downstream of

Tempe Town Lake in the City of Tempe.

The proposed project will restore 550

acres in the Phoenix reach and 150 acres

in Tempe. In the Phoenix Reach, a 200

foot wide incised low flow channel will

be constructed in the river bottom to

carry storm flows of less than the ten

year event. The low flow channel will

contain four pools connected by a

perennial stream which will stretch for

2.5 miles, as well as 51 acres of aquatic

strand habitat. In addition to the low

flow channel the project calls for the

establishment of 58 acres of wetland

marsh, 99 acres of cottonwood/willow

riparian habitat, and 130 of mesquite

upland on the benches, banks and

overbanks of the river channel.

Irrigation water for the habitat will be

supplied from the shallow aquifer

through six wells located on both banks

of the river. The proposed project would
64366 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 234 / Friday, December 5, 1997 / Notices

also include the construction of

maintenance roads along the river

channel, which would also serve as

recreational trails. Three park areas are

planned for construction on the

overbanks of the channel to serve as

public gateways to the river.

In the Tempe Reach the proposal is to

supply water, from an existing well, to

Indian Bend Wash at McKellips Road,

allow the water to flow downstream to

a point just above the confluence with

the Salt River, where it will be piped by

gravity flow to a location just above the

upstream dam to Tempe Town Lake.

The water will pond across the Salt

River, and will be pumped out on the

south bank, and piped downstream past

the Town Lake, where it will be

reintroduced to the Salt River. The

habitat to be established in the Tempe

reach consists of 50 acres of aquatic

strand, 16 acres of wetland marsh, 20

acres of cottonwood/willow, and 30

acres of mesquite upland.

The proposed project is expected to

have significant beneficial

environmental impacts. Restoring native

riparian and wetland vegetation to the

Salt River is expected to benefit several

native wildlife species and threatened

and endangered species. No long-term

adverse ecological or environmental

health effects are expected due to the

proposed environmental restoration. No

significant impacts are expected to

occur.

to assess the environmental effects

associated with the proposed Rio Salado

environmental restoration. The public

will have the opportunity to comment

on this analysis before any action is

taken to implement the proposed action.

Scoping: The Army Corps of

Engineers conducted two scoping

meetings prior to preparing the

Environmental Impact Statement to aid

in determining the significant

environmental issues associated with

the proposed action. These meetings

were held in the City of Tempe on June

10, 1996, and in the City of Phoenix on

June 11, 1996.

Two public hearings to receive

comments on the DEIS will be held in

conjunction with the public meetings to

present the feasibility report. The public

hearings are to be held in the City of

Tempe on January 7, 1998 from 7 to 9

p.m. at the City of Tempe Police

Auditorium, 120 E. 5th Street, Tempe,

AZ 85281, and in the City of Phoenix on

January 8, 1998 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the

Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003. The

location, date, and time of the public

hearings will be announced in the local

news media, and separate notice will

also be sent to all parties on the project

mailing list.

Individuals and agencies may present

oral or written comments relevant to the

DEIS by attending either of the two

public hearings, or by mailing the

information to Mr. Alex Watt at the

Intent To Prepare a Joint

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report for the

Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration

Project, Orange County, CA

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

(Corps), Los Angeles District, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The Corps, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service (Service), and the

California State Lands Commission

(CSLC) propose to restore the Bolsa

Chica Wetlands by dredging

approximately 1.5 million cubic yards

of material from the interior, and

creating full and managed tidal areas

through the construction of a new ocean

inlet at the southeastern corner of the

project site and interior culvert

placement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions regarding the scoping process

or preparation of the EIS/EIR may be

directed to Ms. Ruth Bajza Villalobos,

Chief, Environmental Resources Branch,

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Action

On behalf of a Federal/State

Interagency Steering Committee, the

Corps, the Service and the CSLC are

proposing to restore the Bolsa Chica

wetlands to enable the restoration of

habitats offsetting the biological impacts

of future port development and

expansion at both the Ports of Los

Angeles and Long Beach. The proposed

project will restore wetland and aquatic

functions at Bolsa Chica as oil

extraction is phased out and

contamination is removed. The Bolsa

Chica Wetlands have been acquired

through the use of funds provided by

the Ports of Los Angeles and Long

Beach, and title to the property is held

by the California State Lands
