the cache memory pages to transfer to 

and from level 1 (L1) caching while the 

microprocessor pipeline is executing 

instructions. 

OS information assurance is 

implemented in hardware. By extending 

Unix file permissions bits down to each 

cache memory bank and memory 

address, the OSFA provides hardware 

level information assurance. OS level 

access to cache controller banks is 

divided into access layers. Only the OS 

has permission to access and modify 

permission bits. The OS access layers 

also support partitions for a high 

reliability microkernel, hypervisors and 

full featured OS. 

For each software application, a table 

sets limits for all OS library function 

calls required by the application. Each 

library function call has a set of object 

limits. Exceeding the limits either 

requires higher than user level 

privileges or raises an exception. 

The full CRADA proposal should 

include a capability statement with a 

detailed description of collaborators’ 

expertise in the following and related 

technology areas: (1) Microprocessor 

design; (2) computer security; (3) 

information assurance; (4) collaborators’ 

expertise in successful technology 

transition; and (5) collaborator’s ability 

to provide adequate funding to support 

some project studies is strongly 

encouraged. A preference will be given 

to collaborators who shall manufacture 

hardware in the United States. 

Collaborators are encouraged to 

properly label any proprietary material 

in their CRADA proposal as 

PROPRIETARY. Do not use the phrase 

‘‘company confidential.’’

Separation and Independent 

Evaluation of the Proposed Halligan 

and Seaman Water Management 

Projects in Northeastern Colorado

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On February 1, 2006, the

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices 6065 

Engineers (USACE) published a Notice 

of Intent to Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to jointly 

analyze the direct, indirect and 

cumulative effects of two water supply 

projects that were proposed collectively 

as the Halligan-Seaman Water 

Management Project. USACE has 

determined that the two projects will be 

separated and independently evaluated 

as the Halligan Water Supply Project 

EIS and the Seaman Water Supply 

Project EIS. Constructing the proposed 

Projects would impact jurisdictional 

waters of the United States, thereby 

requiring Clean Water Act Section 404 

permits. The Cities of Fort Collins and 

Greeley (Cities) have proposed the 

Projects to meet existing and future 

water demands during droughts, more 

efficiently manage the Cities’ existing or 

future water rights, provide some 

operational redundancy, and possibly 

enhance river functions. The proposed 

Projects involve enlarging two existing 

reservoirs, Halligan Reservoir and 

Milton Seamen Reservoir (Seaman 

Reservoir), which would provide 

approximately 56,125 acre-feet of 

additional storage capacity in the Cache 

la Poudre River Basin. The Halligan and 

Seaman Water Supply Projects would 

both be non-federal projects 

constructed, owned and operated by the 

Cities. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions regarding the proposed action 

and Draft EISs should be addressed to 

Cody Wheeler, Project Manager, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, 9307 South 

Wadsworth Boulevard, Littleton, CO 

80128–6901; cody.s.wheeler@

usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2006, 

the Cities of Fort Collins and Greeley 

and six other water providers 

(Participants) had originally proposed to 

replace the existing dams with new, 

larger dams immediately downstream of 

the existing Halligan and Seaman dams. 

This would have provided 88,592 acrefeet of additional storage capacity. The 

Participants were composed of water 

providers in the region and included 

three water districts collectively known 

as the Tri-District including North Weld 

County Water District, Fort CollinsLoveland Water District, and East 

Larimer County Water District; the City 

of Evans; the North Poudre Irrigation 

Company; and the Water Supply and 

Storage Company. However, six 

participants have terminated their 

participation in the Halligan and 

Seaman water supply projects leaving 

Fort Collins and Greeley as the sole 

project proponents. The additional 

storage capacity needed has accordingly 

decreased from 88,592 to 56,125 acrefeet. This smaller amount of needed 

storage might be provided by raising the 

existing Halligan and Seaman dams 

rather than replacing them with larger 

new dams immediately downstream. 

Water stored in the expanded 

reservoirs would address municipal and 

industrial water demands as well as 

some agricultural demands. Preliminary 

analyses by the Cities indicate that the 

enlarged reservoirs would fill primarily 

during the summer and fall months 

from North Fork Poudre River flows. 

Seaman Reservoir would also fill via a 

pump station on the Poudre River main 

stem near the dam site. Small releases 

are proposed throughout the year on a 

periodic basis to maximize operational 

efficiency. The cities anticipate that 

both reservoirs would remain mostly 

full except during drought periods. 

USACE has completed its analysis of 

the purpose and need for the two 

projects. Alternatives to the Halligan 

project have been identified and USACE 

is evaluating the impacts of those 

alternatives. However, the City of 

Greeley has expressed concerns about 

USACE-identified alternatives to the 

Seaman project. Addressing these 

concerns would also delay evaluating 

the Fort Collins’ Halligan project. 

Several contributing factors including 

the differing study schedules led Fort 

Collins and Greeley to request that the 

two projects be separated and 

independently evaluated. USACE 

carefully considered the request and 

determined that it is appropriate and in 

the best interest of all involved to 

independently evaluate the two 

projects. 

The EIS will be prepared according to 

the USACE’s procedures for 

implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, 42 U.S.C.4332(2)(c), and 

consistent with the USACE’s policy to 

facilitate public understanding and 

review of agency proposals. Scoping as 

described in the original Notice of Intent 

(February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5250)) was 

completed. Although needed storage has 

decreased, the scopes of the two projects 

and the issues identified in the initial 

scoping process remain essentially the 

same. Therefore, additional public 

scoping meetings are not required. As 

part of the EIS process, a full range of 

reasonable alternatives including the 

proposed Project and no action will be 

evaluated. 

As two separate projects, the USACE 

anticipates completing and releasing the 

Draft Halligan Water Supply EIS during 

the spring of 2016. The Draft Seaman 

Water Supply EIS will be completed at 

a later date. Each Draft EIS will be 

published for public review and 

comments. Public comments will be 

considered and addressed in each Final 

EIS serving as a basis for the USACE 

decision to issue or deny Section 404 

Permits to enlarge Halligan and Seaman 

reservoirs. 

USACE has invited the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. 

Forest Service, Colorado Parks and 

Wildlife, Colorado Department of Public 

Health and Environment, Larimer 

County, and Weld County to be 

cooperating agencies in preparing the 

EISs.
