SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose for the DAF’s Proposed Action 

is to advance U.S. space capabilities and 

provide launch and landing 

infrastructure in furtherance of U.S. 

policy to ensure capabilities necessary 

to launch and insert national security 

payloads into space (United States Code 

[U.S.C.] Title 10, Section 2273, ‘‘Policy 

regarding assured access to space: 

national security payloads’’). 

The need for the DAF’s Proposed 

Action is to ensure National Security 

Space Launch Assured Access to Space 

without compromising current launch 

capabilities and fulfill (in part) U.S. 

Congress’s grant of authority to the 

Secretary of Defense, pursuant to 10 

U.S.C. 2276(a), ‘‘Commercial space 

launch cooperation,’’ that the Secretary 

of Defense is permitted to take action to 

maximize the use of the capacity of the 

space transportation infrastructure of 

the Department of Defense (DOD) by the 

private sector in the U.S.; maximize the 

effectiveness and efficiency of the space 

transportation infrastructure of the 

DOD; reduce the cost of services 

provided by the DOD related to space 

transportation infrastructure at launch 

support facilities and space recovery 

support facilities; encourage commercial 

space activities by enabling investment 

by covered entities in the space 

transportation infrastructure of the 

DOD; and foster cooperation between 

DOD and covered entities. 

The DAF has identified a Proposed 

Action alternative, one reasonable 

action alternative (Alternative 1), and 

the No Action Alternative to be carried 

forward for analysis in the EIS. Under 

the Proposed Action, SpaceX would 

modify, reuse, or demolish the existing 

Space Launch Complex (SLC)-37 

infrastructure at CCSFS to support 

Starship-Super Heavy launch and 

landing operations. Under Alternative 1, 

leasing SLC–50 at CCSFS, SpaceX 

would construct infrastructure to 

support Starship-Super Heavy launch 

and landing operations on a site that is 

currently undeveloped. Under the No 

Action Alternative, USSF would not 

enter into a real property agreement 

with SpaceX, SpaceX would not 

develop a launch and landing site in 

support of Starship-Super Heavy 

launches, and SpaceX would not apply 

for an FAA vehicle operator license for 

Starship-Super Heavy launches at either 

of the alternative SLCs under 

consideration. 

Potential impacts may include noise, 

air quality, and hazardous material 

effects associated with operations and 

construction, as well as effects on 

biological and cultural resources 

because of ground disturbance and 

operational noise and vibrations. 

Implementation of the Proposed Action 

would potentially impact wetlands and/ 

or floodplains, therefore this NOI 

initiates early public review as required 

per Executive Order 11988 ‘‘Floodplain 

Management.’’ and Executive Order 

11990 ‘‘Protection of Wetlands.’’ 

A Federal Coastal Zone Management 

Act determination will be conducted 

and coordinated with the Florida State 

Clearinghouse to determine consistency 

of the action with the Florida Coastal 

Management Program. SpaceX would be 

required to obtain an FAA Vehicle 

Operator License for the Starship-Super 

Heavy launch vehicle at CCSFS, which 

could include launch, reentry, or both. 

A Clean Air Act Title V operating 

permit may be required, as well as a 

Clean Water Act Section 404 permit and 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System permit. 

Scoping and Agency Coordination: 

Consultation will include, but not 

necessarily be limited to, consultation 

under Section 7 of the Endangered 

Species Act and consultation under 

Section 106 of the NHPA, to include 

consultation with federally recognized 

Native American Tribes. Regulatory 

agencies with special expertise in 

wetlands and floodplains, such as the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will be 

contacted and asked to comment. The 

DAF and Cooperating Agencies will 

determine the scope of the analysis by 

soliciting comments from interested 

local, state, and federally elected 

officials and agencies, federally 

recognized Native American tribes, as 

well as interested members of the 

public. Comments are requested on 

identification of potential alternatives, 

information, and analyses relevant to 

the Proposed Action.

Title of Collection: Connecting Adults 

to Success: Career Navigator Training 

Study (CATS Study). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0973. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households Total 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30,823. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,340. 

Abstract: The Institute of Education 

Sciences within the U.S. Department of 

Education requests clearance for a 

revision to the Connecting Adults to 

Success: Evaluation of Career Navigator 

Training (1850–0973, approved on July 

18, 2022). This demonstration study 

examines the impact of training for 

career navigators—local adult education 

provider staff who provide services to 

address the challenges that learners face 

navigating the transition to the 

workforce and to further education and 

training. The study compares the 

education and employment outcomes of 

learners enrolled in adult education 

sites whose career navigators are 

assigned by lottery to receive the study’s 

training (the treatment group) with the 

outcomes of learners enrolled in the 

business-as-usual sites who are assigned 

by lottery to receive the study’s training 

after the study period (the comparison 

group). Approximately 64 adult 

education sites nationally are 

participating in the study. Impacts on 

learners’ education and employment 

outcomes will be examined after 18 and 

30 months. The revision is for the 

purpose of shifting one component of 

the approved data collection plan— 

frequent adult education career 

navigator-completed logs—to add a 

single follow-up survey to ensure the 

study can still examine whether the 

training leads to changes in these 

practices. The survey is now needed 

because of concerns about low response 

rates and data quality from early rounds 

of those logs.
