expenditures of anglers who fish in the 

rivers of California’s Central Valley. 

NMFS has engaged in major habitat 

restoration in the Central Valley to 

promote recovery of three ESA-listed 

salmonids (Sacramento River winter 

Chinook, Central Valley spring Chinook, 

Central Valley steelhead). The survey is 

intended to estimate the economic 

impact of the Central Valley recreational 

fishery and potential recreational 

benefits associated with habitat 

restoration such as improved fish 

passage. Information to be collected 

pertains to anglers’ recreational fishing 

patterns, expenditures and 

demographics, and factors affecting trip 

frequency and location (e.g., travel 

distance, amenities, landscape features 

as well as quality of fishing). The data 

collected will provide NMFS, as well as 

state agency partners such as the 

California Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, with information useful for 

understanding the economic importance 

of Central Valley fisheries and potential 

recreational benefits associated with 

salmonid habitat restoration. 

II. Method of Collection

anglers who fish on Central Valley 

rivers will be asked to complete a 

voluntary mail-based survey 

questionnaire.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to 

difficulties finalizing the meeting 

agenda for the scheduled meeting of the 

National Commission on the Structure 

of the Air Force for December 4–6, 2013, 

the requirements of 41 CFR 102– 

3.150(a) were not met. Accordingly, the 

Advisory Committee Management 

Officer for the Department of Defense, 

pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b), 

waives the 15-calendar day notification 

requirement. 

Purpose of Meeting: This meeting was 

held under the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 

1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), 

the Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 

41 CFR 102–3.150. The 3-day meeting 

was held to conduct a wargame among 

staff and Commissioner participants 

while exploring issues concerning the 

mix of the Active and Reserve 

Components and how to better invest in 

and manage human capital assets. 

Relative to the force structure mix 

among the Active Component, Reserve 

Component, and the Air National 

Guard, the objectives of the wargame are 

to (1) assess the advantages and 

disadvantages of contending approaches 

to the future structure of the U.S. Air 

Force; (2) identify current policies, 

procedures, practices and legislation 

that need to change in order to make the 

future structure of the U.S. Air Force 

more effective; and (3) understand 

stakeholder interests in the future 

structure of the U.S. Air Force and 

assess their anticipated responses to the 

Commissions’ findings and 

recommendations. Commissioners will 

pose as key stakeholders, which include 

the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs 

of Staff, the Secretary of the U.S. Air 

Force, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air 

Force, and the Combatant Commanders. 

As a result of the wargame, 

Commissioners will have a sharper 

understanding of the policies under 

consideration, a more rigorous analysis 

of the implications of their emerging 

findings, and a more credible basis for 

their recommendations. 

Three teams will be formed and each 

will be assigned to develop a unique 

mix among the Active Component, 

Reserve Component, and the Air 

National Guard. One team will be 

instructed to develop a future U.S. Air 

Force with 65% Active Component and 

35% Reserve Component. This force 

mix matches the force mix planned for 

fiscal year 2015. A second team will 

build a future U.S. Air Force with 55% 

Active Component and 45% Reserve 

Component. The third team will plan a 

future U.S. Air Force with 35% Active 

Component and 65% Reserve 

Component and Air National Guard. 

The team assignments, assumptions, 

and resources are designed solely for 

analytical purposes and must not be 

construed to imply the Commissioner’s 

preference for any particular force 

structure as stated in this notice. The 

outcomes of the Active Component and 

Reserve Component force mix in the 

wargame will provide insight—not final 

answers. The insights gained from the 

wargame will highlight issues requiring 

further analysis. The first day of the 

wargame will be dedicated to reviewing 

how the wargame will be conducted. All 

teams are to be given the same set of 

assumptions, such as their resources 

will be constrained by the Budget 

Control Act and sequestration in 

accordance with the most stressing 

forecast developed by the DoD Office of 

Cost Assessment and Program 

Evaluation. Classified data will also be
