Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplemental

the Proposed Rio Grande Floodway,

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices 12819 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Albuquerque District, 

Corps of Engineers (Corps) is preparing 

a draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) on the findings 

of an ongoing flood risk management 

study along the Rio Grande from San 

Acacia downstream to San Marcial in 

Socorro County, New Mexico. The 

purpose of the study is to reevaluate the 

plan of flood protection authorized by 

the Flood Control Act of 1948 (Pub. L. 

80–858) in light of recent changes in 

levee design parameters and 

environmental resources in the study 

area. The tentatively proposed plan is to 

replace the existing embankment 

between the Low Flow Conveyance 

Channel and the Rio Grande with a 

structurally competent levee capable of 

containing high-volume, long-duration 

flows. This engineered levee would 

substantially reduce the risk of damage 

from floods emanating from the Rio 

Grande. The local cost-sharing sponsors 

of the proposed project are the Middle 

Rio Grande Conservancy District and 

the New Mexico Interstate Stream 

Commission. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions or comments regarding the 

draft SEIS can be answered by: William 

DeRagon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

4101 Jefferson Plaza NE., Albuquerque, 

New Mexico 87109; telephone: (505)

william.r.deragon@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Previously, an environmental impact 

statement and two supplements have 

been published regarding this project. A 

final environmental impact statement 

addressing a recommendation to 

construct flood and sediment control 

dams on the Rio Puerco and Rio Salado 

was filed with the Council on 

Environmental Quality in 1977. An SEIS 

evaluating the effects of the alternative 

to rehabilitate the existing spoil-bank 

levee system was filed with the Council 

on Environmental Quality in 1992. In 

May 1997, a draft SEIS evaluating the 

revised design of the proposed levee to 

withstand long-duration floods and 

evaluating effects to recently listed 

endangered species was filed with the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; 

however, a final SEIS was not prepared. 

Currently, a new draft SEIS is being 

developed to evaluate effects of revised 

levee design and additional alternatives. 

The draft SEIS will be integrated with 

a draft General Reevaluation Report, and 

the integrated document is hereafter 

referred to as the draft GRR/SEIS–II. 

Alternatives Considered: Alternatives 

developed and evaluated during the 

current effort and previous studies 

consist of levee reconstruction; flood 

and sediment control dams; local levees; 

intermittent levee replacement; 

watershed land treatment; floodproofing 

of buildings; levee-alignment setbacks; 

and no action. 

Public Involvement: Coordination is 

ongoing with both public and private 

entities having jurisdiction or an 

interest in land and resources in the 

middle Rio Grande valley of New 

Mexico. These entities include the 

general public, local governments, the 

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, the New 

Mexico Department of Game and Fish, 

and the New Mexico State Historic 

Preservation Officer. Coordination will 

continue throughout the development of 

the draft GRR/SEIS–II. 

Significant Issues To Be Analyzed: 

Issues to be analyzed in the 

development of the draft GRR/SEIS–II 

include the effect of alternatives on 

flood risk, floodplain development, 

water quality, ecological resources, 

endangered species, wildlife refuge 

objectives, social welfare, human safety, 

cultural resources, and aesthetic 

qualities. Development and 

implementation of mitigation measures 

will be undertaken for unavoidable 

effects. 

Public Review: It is estimated that the 

draft GRR/SEIS–II will be circulated for 

public review in April 2012. All 

interested parties including Federal, 

state, and public entities will be invited 

to submit comments on the draft GRR/ 

SEIS–II when it is circulated for review. 

A public meeting will be held during 

the public review period in Socorro, 

New Mexico. An announcement of the 

exact date and location of the public 

meeting will be published in the 

Federal Register, and in Socorro and 

Albuquerque newspapers.

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Education 

is reopening the Upward Bound (UB) 

program FY 2012 competition and 

accepting amended applications for new 

awards for the UB program FY 2012 

competition from a limited number of 

applicants that may have been affected 

by incorrect information provided by 

the Department regarding Competitive 

Preference Priority 1—Persistently 

Lowest-Achieving Schools. 

DATES: 

Applications Available: March 2, 

2012. 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: March 16, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken 

Waters, Upward Bound Program, U.S. 

Department of Education, 1990 K Street 

NW., Room 7000, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 19, 2011, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 

78621) inviting applications for new 

awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program 

(NIA). On January 25, 2012, we 

published a second notice in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 3751) extending 

the deadline date for the transmittal of 

applications to February 1, 2012, and 

extending the deadline date for 

Intergovernmental Review to April 2, 

2012. 

Shortly before the revised application 

deadline date, it came to the 

Department’s attention that some 

informational materials made available 

on a Department Web site contained an 

error that may have led some applicants 

to incorrectly respond to one of the 

competitive preference priorities. 

Following a review of the nature and 

extent of the error and concerns about 

its potential effects on applicants’ 

scores, the Department is reopening the 

competition for two weeks to provide 

time for applicants that submitted 

timely applications under the February 

1, 2012, deadline and that may have 

been affected by this error to submit 

amended applications. 

This opportunity will be limited to a 

specific subset of applicants that meet 

certain demonstrated criteria. The 

Department will compare amended 

applications submitted in accordance 

with this notice with the original 

submissions to ensure the applicant 

satisfies the criteria for a resubmission. 

The Department will not accept any 

amended application that fails to meet 

the criteria set forth in this notice.
