BILLING CODE 3710–08–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement 

to the December 2009 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for the Relocation of New River 

Inlet Ebb Tide Channel and the 

Placement of the Dredge Material 

Along 11.1 Miles of Ocean Shoreline of 

North Topsail Beach in Onslow 

County, NC 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE), Wilmington 

District, Wilmington Regulatory Field 

Office has received a request for 

Department of the Army (DA) 

authorization, pursuant to Section 404 

of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 

of the Rivers and Harbor Act, from the 

Town of North Topsail Beach to modify 

their original May 27, 2011 DA 

authorization to relocate the New River 

Inlet ebb tide channel and to place 

dredge material along 11.1 miles of 

oceanfront shoreline in (5) phases over 

an eight to nine year timeframe. 

Additionally, the authorization permits 

up to a maximum of (7) maintenance 

events within the relocated ebb tide 

channel, which is equivalent to a 

maximum of one maintenance event 

every 4 years until authorization expires 

on December 31, 2041. The main 

purpose of the project is to provide 

short and long-term protection of the 

Town’s infrastructure. The proposed 

modification request includes the 

consolidation of Phases II–V into one 

phase (in a single dredging event), the 

utilization of a hopper dredge, an 

increase of beach fill density in the 

original Phase V footprint, the inclusion 

of an additional borrow source, and the 

extension of dredging outside the 

permitted dredge window. 

DATES: Written comments will be 

received until July 22, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of comments and 

questions regarding the Draft 

Supplement to the FEIS may be 

submitted to: U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Wilmington District, 

Regulatory Division. ATTN: File 

Number 205–00344 (ORM #2004– 

00344), 69 Darlington Avenue, 

Wilmington, NC 28403. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the proposed action 

and Supplement to the EIS can be 

directed to Mr. Mickey Sugg, Project 

Manager, Wilmington Regulatory Field 

Office, at telephone (910) 251–4811; 

email mickey.t.sugg@usace.army.mil ; or 

regular mail at (see ADDRESSES). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Action. Between 

November 26, 2012 and February 9, 

2013, the Town of North Topsail Beach 

implemented Phase I of their 

authorization, which encompassed the 

relocation of the New River Inlet ebb 

tide channel by use of a cutter head 

dredge and the placement of the 

dredged material along approximately 

1.5 miles of the island’s northeast end. 

Upon the completion of Phase I, the 

Town has reevaluated its financial 

status and seeks to modify their DA 

authorization. A key component in the 

modification request is to combine 

Phases II–V. This would replace the 

current multi-nourishment cycle within 

the remaining 9.6 miles with a one-time 

nourishment event constructed during a 

single dredging window. The proposal 

also requests that dredging be allowed 

outside the November 16–March 31 

dredge window to extend their 

operation to April 30, and that the 

dredging operation include the use of 

hopper dredge plants. The Town seeks 

to include a new borrow source, DA143, 

which is an upland disposal island 

located near the intersection of New 

River and the Atlantic Intracoastal 

Waterway. Historically, DA 143 has 

been used by USACE as a disposal area 

during maintenance dredging of nearby 

federal navigation channels. It is 

estimated that the disposal island 

contains approximately 1.9 million 

cubic yards of material, which will be 

short of the approximate 2.6 million 

cubic yards needed for the 9.6 miles of 

ocean front nourishment. With this 

short fall of beach fill, the remaining 

material will be dredged from the 

existing permitted off-shore borrow 

source. The 2.6 million cubic yards of 

material includes the Town’s 

modification plans to increase the 

original fill density of Phase V from 25.2 

cubic yards/linear foot to a range of 57– 

132 cubic yards/linear foot. 

2. Scoping Process. a. The USACE 

will reinitiate consultation with the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service under the 

Endangered Species Act and the Fish 

and Wildlife Coordination Act; with the 

National Marine Fisheries Service under 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act and 

the Endangered Species Act; and with 

the North Carolina State Historic 

Preservation Office under the National 

Historic Preservation Act. Additionally, 

the USACE will coordinate the FEIS 

Supplement with the North Carolina 

Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) to 

assess the potential water quality 

impacts pursuant to Section 401 of the 

Clean Water Act, and with the North 

Carolina Division of Coastal 

Management (NCDCM) to determine the 

projects consistency with the Coastal 

Zone Management Act. The USACE will 

closely work with NCDCM and NCDWQ 

in the development of the Supplement 

to ensure the process complies with all 

State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) 

requirements. It is the intention of both 

the USACE and the State of North 

Carolina to consolidate the NEPA and 

SEPA processes thereby eliminating 

duplication. 

b. A 45-day public review period will 

be provided for all interested parties, 

individuals, and agencies to review and 

comment on the Draft Supplement to 

the FEIS when released. 

3. Availability of the Supplement to 

the EIS. The Draft Supplement is 

expected to be published and circulated 

the summer of 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use

Title of Collection: Elementary and 

Secondary Improvement Formula 

Grants. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0682. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,102. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 229,800. 

Abstract: This information collection 

request covers requirements for 

applications to the School Improvement 

Grants program. On January 21, 2010, 

the U.S. Department of Education 

(Department) published final 

requirements and a State educational 

agency (SEA) application for the School 

Improvement Grants (SIG) program 

authorized under section 1003(g) of 

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as 

amended, and funded through the 

Department of Education 

Appropriations Act, 2009, and the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA) (FY 2009). The final 

requirements defined the criteria that an 

SEA must use to award FY 2013 SIG 

funds to local educational agencies 

(LEAs). In awarding these funds, an SEA 

must give priority to the LEAs with the 

lowest-achieving schools that 

demonstrate the greatest need for the 

funds and the strongest commitment to 

using the funds to provide adequate 

resources to their lowest-achieving 

schools that are eligible to receive 

services provided through SIG funds in 

order to raise substantially the 

achievement of the students attending 

those schools. The information 

collection activities consist of: (1) 

Applications for an SEA to submit to the 

Department to apply for FY 2013 SIG 

funds; (2) the reporting of specific 

school-level data on the use of SIG 

funds and specific interventions 

implemented in LEAs receiving SIG 

funds that the Department currently 

collects through EDFacts; (3) the process 

for an LEA to apply to its SEA for SIG 

funds; and (4) the SEAs posting its LEAs 

applications on the SEAs Web site.
