Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Notices 73053 

(Environmental Review Procedures for 

Implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act, May 20, 

1999). PISCO’s proposed activities and 

impacts for 2013–2014 are within the 

scope of our 2012 EA and FONSI. We 

have reviewed the 2012 EA and 

determined that there are no new direct, 

indirect, or cumulative impacts to the 

human and natural environment 

associated with the IHA requiring 

evaluation in a supplemental EA and 

we, therefore, reaffirm the 2012 FONSI. 

Authorization 

As a result of these determinations, 

NMFS has authorized the take of marine 

mammals incidental to PISCO’s rocky 

intertidal monitoring research activities, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are incorporated.

Employees, DoD contractors, 

Department of State (DoS) employees, 

military personnel (including retirees 

and active reservists) and their family 

members OCONUS to receive restricted 

American Forces Radio and Television 

Service (AFRTS) programming services 

(i.e., radio, television, and web 

streaming services). Demographic data

efficient and cost effective manner. 

Affected Public: Individuals or

Annual Burden Hours: 1,667

Responses Per Respondent: 1 

Average Burden Per Response: 10 

minutes 

Frequency: On occasion 

The American Forces Network (AFN) 

is a broadcast service of the Defense 

Media Activity (DMA). AFN provides an 

internal information program to provide 

U.S. radio and television news, 

information, and entertainment 

programming to Military Service 

members, DoD civilian and contract 

employees, and their families overseas, 

on board U.S. Navy and Coast Guard 

ships at sea, and other authorized users. 

This DoD internal information program 

(1) provides U.S. military commanders 

worldwide with a unique means to 

communicate internal information 

directly to DoD personnel and their 

family members overseas; (2) provides 

overseas DoD personnel and their 

families the same type of information 

and entertainment programming as their 

fellow citizens in the United States; (3) 

assists in maintaining and enhancing 

the morale, readiness, situational 

awareness, and well-being of DoD 

personnel and their family members 

overseas. AFN communicates messages 

and themes from senior DoD leaders 

(i.e., Secretary of Defense, Secretaries of 

the Military Departments, Chairman of 

the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Military Service 

Chiefs of Staff, Combatant 

Commanders), as well as other leaders 

in the chain of command, in order to 

support and improve quality of life and 

morale, promote situational awareness, 

provide timely and immediate force 

protection information, and sustain 

readiness. 

Much of the content distributed by 

AFN is commercial programming whose 

distribution is restricted to targeted 

OCONUS audiences. The AFNConnect 

system is an automated system which 

will allow potential consumers of AFN 

content to quickly validate their 

location and status, and be 

automatically authorized to receive AFN 

programming.
