50,000-square-foot shoreside 

Maintenance Support Facility, and a 

shoreside emergency diesel generator 

facility. The new Maintenance Support 

Facility would be built within an 

existing parking lot. To support 

additional personnel, a 6-acre upland 

parking lot and lay down area would be 

constructed near the proposed 

Maintenance Support Facility. The SPE 

would be supported by approximately 

320 steel piles. 

(vi) SPE Alternative 3 (Long Pier 

Configuration)—The DoN would 

consolidate SEAWOLF Class 

submarines on NAVBASE Kitsap Bangor 

and build and operate the SPE proposed 

action using an in-line berth submarine 

mooring configuration. The proposed 

new facilities associated with this 

option include a 1,200-lineal-foot SPE, a 

3,100-square-foot Pier Services and 

Compressor Building, a pier crane, a 

50,000-square-foot shoreside 

Maintenance Support Facility, and a 

shoreside emergency diesel generator 

facility. The new Maintenance Support 

Facility would be built within an 

existing parking lot. To support 

additional personnel, a 6-acre upland 

parking lot and lay down area would be 

constructed near the proposed 

Maintenance Support Facility. The SPE 

would be supported by approximately 

700 steel piles. 

The proposed actions will be 

designed to minimize environmental 

impacts to the extent practicable. Project 

details including construction methods, 

schedule, operations, and maintenance, 

will be developed during the design 

process and analyzed in the Draft EIS. 

No decision will be made to 

implement any alternative until the EIS 

process is completed and a Record of 

Decision is signed by the acting 

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of 

the Navy (Energy, Installations, and 

Environment). 

The impacts to be evaluated include, 

but will not be limited to, effects on 

federally listed threatened and 

endangered species and critical habitat, 

impacts relating to underwater noise 

and airborne noise from pile driving and 

other actions, loss of eelgrass and other 

marine habitat, decreased opportunities 

for migratory and transient movement of 

fish and wildlife within the waterfront, 

reduction in water quality, effects on 

littoral drift (shoreline sediment 

movement), and effects on tribal 

resources. 

The analysis will include an 

evaluation of direct, indirect, shortterm, and long-term impacts of 

construction and operation of each 

project as well as cumulative impacts 

from other DoN and non-DoN activities 

in the project area. 

The DoN is initiating the scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and local issues to be addressed in the 

EIS. Federal, state, and local agencies, 

American Indian tribes, and interested 

persons are encouraged to provide 

written comments at scheduled public 

scoping meetings. All written 

statements will become part of the 

public record and will be responded to 

in the Draft EIS. 

Written comments should be mailed 

to Naval Facilities Engineering

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2013 / Notices 7419 

through their secondary and 

postsecondary years. The main study 

students were re-surveyed in 2012 when 

most were high school 11th graders. The 

study focuses on understanding 

students’ trajectories from the beginning 

of high school into postsecondary 

education or the workforce and beyond. 

What students decide to pursue when, 

why, and how are crucial questions for 

HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in 

regards to science, technology, 

engineering, and math (STEM) courses, 

majors, and careers. This study includes 

a new student assessment in algebraic 

skills, reasoning, and problem solving 

and, like past studies, will survey 

students, their parents, school 

administrators, school counselors, and 

teachers. Students will be administered 

a questionnaire and an assessment 

instrument. This submission will ask for 

the clearance for the update of 

HSLS:2009 high school students who 

were in 9th grade in the base year (June 

2013-October 2013), collection of their 

high school transcripts (September 

2013–January 2014), and 2nd follow-up 

sample panel maintenance (between CU 

& 2FU FT; Fall 2013).

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Advanced Rehabilitation Research 

Training (ARRT) Projects program is to 

provide advanced research training and 

experience to individuals with 

doctorates, or similar advanced degrees, 

who have clinical or other relevant 

experience. ARRT projects train 

rehabilitation researchers, including 

researchers with disabilities, with 

particular attention to research areas 

that support the implementation and 

objectives of the Rehabilitation Act of 

1973, as amended (Act), and that 

improve the effectiveness of services 

authorized under the Act. 

The purpose of this competition is to 

improve the capacity of minority 

entities to develop and support 

disability and rehabilitation research 

training opportunities, by limiting 

eligibility for ARRT grants to minority 

entities. Section 21(b)(2)(A) of the Act 

authorizes NIDRR to make awards to 

minority entities and Indian tribes to 

carry out activities authorized under 

Title II of the Act. 

Note: This program is in concert with 

NIDRR’s currently approved long-range plan 

(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and 

integrates many issues relating to disability 

and rehabilitation research topics. The Plan, 

which was published in the Federal Register 

on February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8166), can be 

accessed on the Internet at the following site: 

www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/nidrr/ 

policy.html. 

Through the implementation of the 

Plan, NIDRR seeks to (1) improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of expertise, information, and 

training methods to facilitate the 

advancement of knowledge and 

understanding of the unique needs of 

individuals with disabilities from 

traditionally underserved populations; 

(3) determine the best strategies and 

programs to improve rehabilitation 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities from underserved 

populations; (4) identify research gaps; 

(5) identify mechanisms for integrating 

research and practice; and (6) 

disseminate findings. 

Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.105(b)(2)(ii), this priority is from the 

regulations for this program (34 CFR 

350.12 and 350.64 through 350.65). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2013, and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, this 

priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 

CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only 

applications that meet this priority. 

This priority is: Minority-Serving 

Institution (MSI) Advanced 

Rehabilitation Research Training 

Projects. 

This MSI–ARRT priority is intended 

to improve the capacity of minority 

entities, as defined in section 21 of the 

Act, to develop and support disability 

and rehabilitation research training 

opportunities. ARRT projects must (1) 

recruit and select candidates for 

advanced research training; (2) provide 

a training program that includes 

didactic and classroom instruction, is 

multidisciplinary, and emphasizes 

scientific methodology, and may 

involve collaboration among 

institutions; (3) provide research 

experience, laboratory experience or its 

equivalent in a community-based 

research setting, and a practicum that 

involve each individual in clinical 

research and in practical activities with 

organizations representing individuals 

with disabilities; (4) provide academic 

mentorship or guidance, and 

opportunities for scientific collaboration 

with qualified researchers at the host 

university and other appropriate 

institutions; and (5) provide 

opportunities for participation in the 

development of professional 

presentations and publications, and for 

attendance at professional conferences 

and meetings, as appropriate for the 

individual’s field of study and level of 

experience. 

The ARRT project must provide 

training to individuals for at least one 

academic year, unless a longer training 

period is necessary to ensure that each 

trainee is qualified to conduct 

independent research upon completion 

of the course of training; and require 

trainees to devote at least 80 percent of 

their time to the activities of the training 

program during the training period. 

Note: We expect an applicant to articulate 

goals, objectives, and expected outcomes for 

the research training activities. An applicant 

should describe expected public benefits of 

these training activities, especially benefits 

for individuals with disabilities, and propose 

projects that are optimally designed to 

demonstrate outcomes that are consistent 

with the proposed goals. Each applicant is 

encouraged to include information describing 

how it will measure outcomes, including the 

indicators for determining that results have 

occurred. Submission of this measurement 

information is voluntary, except where 

required by the selection criteria listed in the 

application package.
