Action Alternative does not meet the 

purpose and need of the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Issues and Resources 

To Be Examined: After scoping is 

complete, the EIS/OEIS analysis will 

evaluate potential environmental 

impacts associated with each alternative 

selected for full analysis. Issues to be 

addressed include, but are not limited 

to, noise, cultural resources, 

transportation, utilities, 

socioeconomics, biological resources, 

geology and soils, water quality, air 

quality, airspace, land use, recreation, 

safety, hazardous materials and waste, 

visual resources, and environmental 

justice. 

Resources, activities, and issues 

identified through the scoping process 

will be considered in the EIS/OEIS. The 

analysis will include an evaluation of 

direct and indirect impacts and will 

account for cumulative impacts from 

other relevant past, present and 

reasonably foreseeable future actions in 

the Mariana Islands. 

Agency Consultations: MARFORPAC, 

as Executive Agent, will undertake 

appropriate consultations with 

regulatory entities pursuant to the 

Endangered Species Act, National 

Historic Preservation Act, Coastal Zone 

Management Act, Clean Water Act, and 

other applicable laws or regulations. 

Consultation may include, but will not 

be limited to, the following federal, 

state, and local agencies: U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, National Marine 

Fisheries Service, the U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers, National Park Service, 

CNMI Historic Preservation Office, and 

the CNMI Coastal Resources 

Management Office. 

Schedule: This NOI initiates a 45-day 

scoping comment period to identify 

issues to be addressed in the EIS/OEIS 

and reasonable and feasible alternatives 

to implement the proposed action. The 

next step in the NEPA process occurs 

with publication of a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) in the Federal 

Register and local media, announcing 

release of the Draft EIS/OEIS and 

commencement of a 45-day public 

comment period. A notice will be 

published in local newspapers to 

advertise public scoping meetings for 

the project during the 45-day comment 

period. MARFORPAC, as the Executive 

Agent, will consider and respond to all 

comments received on the Draft EIS/ 

OEIS when preparing the Final EIS/ 

OEIS. MARFORPAC, as the Executive 

Agent, intends to issue the Final EIS/ 

OEIS in late 2015, at which time an 

NOA will be published in the Federal 

Register and local media. The NOA will 

initiate a 30-day waiting period, after 

which the Assistant Secretary of the 

Navy will issue a Record of Decision.

Title of Collection: Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) 2013–2016. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0582. 

Type of Review: Revision of a Current 

Information Collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 77,600. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 954,030. 

Abstract: The Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) is a web-based data collection 

system designed to collect basic data 

from all postsecondary institutions in 

the United States and the other 

jurisdictions. IPEDS enables NCES to 

report on key dimensions of 

postsecondary education such as 

enrollments, degrees and other awards 

earned, tuition and fees, average net 

price, student financial aid, graduation 

rates, revenues and expenditures, 

faculty salaries, and staff employed. The 

IPEDS web-based data collection system 

was implemented in 2000–01, and it 

collects basic data from approximately 

7,500 postsecondary institutions in the 

United States and the other jurisdictions 

that are eligible to participate in Title IV 

Federal financial aid programs. All Title 

IV institutions are required to respond 

to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 

102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title 

IV) institutions to participate on a 

voluntary basis. About 200 elect to 

respond. IPEDS data are available to the 

public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. The 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) seeks authorization to continue 

its IPEDS data collection. Current 

authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB 

No. 1850–0582). We are requesting a 

new clearance for the 2014–15 and 

2015–16 data collections now in order 

to provide institutions a one-year 

advance notice of changes to the current 

data collection. Because the already 

approved 2013–14 IPEDS data 

collection has not yet taken place, we 

are carrying over the documentation and 

estimated burden associated with the 

2013–14 data collection.
