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 anevaluation 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 Command Northwest, 1101 Tautog Circle, Silverdale, WA 98315–1101, Attention: Thomas Dildine, LWI/SPE EIS Project Manager. Comments may
also be submitted online at https://
www.nbkeis.com/lwi/ during the comment period. All comments must be received by March 17, 2013 to ensure they become part of the official record.

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).

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.
