Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2022 / Notices 9329 

After obtaining ownership of the 

SEFC E Parcels, the DoN proposes three 

alternative uses for the acquired 

property which support the DoN’s AT/ 

FP requirements and military mission. 

An EIS is considered the appropriate 

document for comprehensively 

analyzing the proposed action to acquire 

land through an exchange or direct 

purchase and analyzing potential uses 

of the proposed acquired land. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to improve the overall WNY AT/FP 

posture (i.e., increase physical security 

and antiterrorism mitigation measures), 

as well as protect mission-critical 

activities from visual surveillance and 

acoustic and electronic eavesdropping. 

The need for the Proposed Action is to 

protect mission-critical activities 

conducted at the WNY from 

encroachment that could result from 

proposed private development adjacent 

to the WNY northwest perimeter on 

SEFC E Parcels, while enhancing the 

overall safety of personnel, facilities, 

and infrastructure at the WNY. 

Comprehensive AT/FP programs that 

integrate physical security, law 

enforcement, and emergency 

management are routinely implemented 

at military installations across the 

country. These programs also prepare 

military installations to plan for, defend 

against, and respond to terrorist 

incidents. Periodic evaluations of AT/ 

FP programs are conducted to determine 

their effectiveness in mitigating the risk 

of injury, death, or damage resulting 

from physical security breaches and 

terrorist activities at military 

installations. Naval Facilities 

Engineering Systems Command 

(NAVFAC) Atlantic and NAVFAC 

Washington Structural Engineering and 

AT/FP Subject Matter Experts 

performed an AT/FP conformance 

evaluation of buildings in the northwest 

area of the WNY. This evaluation 

informed the DoN that acquisition of the 

SEFC E Parcels is recommended to 

protect the buildings in the northwest 

area of the WNY and the activities it 

hosts. Additionally, the DoN will 

analyze alternative uses for the acquired 

property which support the DoN’s AT/ 

FP requirements and military mission. 

The DoN has identified two 

preliminary action alternatives, each 

with three sub-alternatives that meet the 

purpose of and need for the Proposed 

Action, as well as a no action 

alternative. 

Under Alternative 1 (Land 

Acquisition through Land Exchange), 

the DoN would enter into a real estate 

agreement with the owner of the SEFC 

E Parcel development rights 

(‘‘developer’’) to acquire the 

development rights to the 

approximately 6.3-acre SEFC E Parcels 

adjacent to the northwestern perimeter 

of the WNY. In exchange, the DoN 

would transfer and/or lease 

underutilized assets at the southeast 

corner of the WNY to the developer. 

Concurrent with this exchange of the 

development rights and assets, U.S. 

General Services Administration (GSA) 

would transfer ownership of the SEFC E 

Parcels to the DoN through a federal-tofederal transfer. The proposed DoN use 

of the SEFC E Parcels that would be 

evaluated includes the following subalternatives: (a) Construct a new 

National Museum of the United States 

Navy; (b) incorporate the parcels within 

the WNY fence line and construct DoN 

administrative facilities; or (c) 

incorporate the parcels within the WNY 

fence line but leave parcels in their 

current underdeveloped state, with no 

foreseeable development planned. 

Under Alternative 2 (Direct Land 

Acquisition), the DoN would purchase 

the SEFC E Parcel development rights 

outright from the developer and obtain 

the SEFC E Parcels from GSA through 

a federal-to-federal transfer. No land 

exchange would occur. The proposed 

DoN use of the SEFC E Parcels to be 

evaluated would be the same three subalternatives discussed under Alternative 

1. 

Under the No Action Alternative, the 

Proposed Action would not occur, and 

the developer could exercise its 

development rights to construct several 

multi-story buildings, up to 

approximately 110 feet in height, on the 

SEFC E Parcels. As a result, missioncritical activities would operate 

inconsistently with AT/FP 

requirements, and the safety of 

personnel, facilities, and infrastructure 

on the WNY adjacent to the SEFC E 

Parcels would be degraded, thereby 

threatening national security. 

Environmental resources to be 

examined and addressed in the EIS 

include, but are not limited to: Utilities 

and Infrastructure; Cultural Resources; 

Construction Noise; Geological 

Resources; Air Quality; Water 

Resources; Land Use/Zoning; 

Transportation; Socioeconomics; 

Environmental Justice; Hazardous 

Materials and Waste; and Cumulative 

Effects. The EIS will also analyze 

measures that would avoid or mitigate 

environmental effects. 

The DoN will confer or consult with: 

The U.S. Air Force; White House 

Communications Agency; U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency; 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation; National Park Service; 

National Capital Area; National Capital 

Parks—East; DC State Historic 

Preservation Office; DC Department of 

Transportation; DC Department of 

Energy and Environment; DC Office of 

Planning; National Capital Planning 

Commission; U.S. Commission on Fine 

Arts; GSA; Advisory Neighborhood 

Commissions; Capitol Hill Restoration 

Society; and Capitol Riverfront Business 

Improvement District regarding this 

Proposed Action. Identification of other 

agencies and/or community groups 

during public scoping is possible. The 

DoN will conduct all coordination and 

consultation activities required by the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

The DoN encourages interested 

persons to submit comments concerning 

potential alternatives, information and 

analysis for study in the EIS. Federal 

and local agencies, and interested 

persons are encouraged to provide 

comments to the DoN to identify 

specific environmental resources or 

topics of environmental concern that the 

DoN should consider when developing 

the Draft EIS. Additionally, the DoN 

encourages interested persons to submit 

comments concerning historic resources 

under Section 106 of the NHPA. All 

comments received during the public 

scoping period will be considered 

during the Draft EIS preparation. 

Additional opportunities for public 

comment will occur after the release of 

the Draft EIS. The DoN anticipates 

releasing the Draft EIS October 2022, a 

Final EIS in March 2023, and a Record 

of Decision by April 2023.

Title of Collection: Program for the 

International Assessment of Adult 

Competencies (PIAAC) Cycle II 2022 

Main Study. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0870. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Program for the 

International Assessment of Adult 

Competencies (PIAAC) is a cyclical, 

large-scale study of adult skills and life 

experiences focusing on education and 

employment. PIAAC is an international 

study designed to assess adults in 

different countries over a broad range of 

abilities, from simple reading to 

complex problem-solving skills, and to 

collect information on individuals’ skill 

use and background. The U.S. will 

administer the PIAAC 2022 assessment 

to a nationally representative sample of 

adults, along with a background 

questionnaire with questions about their 

education background, work history, the 

skills they use on the job and at home, 

their civic engagement, and sense of 

their health and well-being. The results 

are used to compare the skills capacities 

of the workforce-aged adults in 

participating countries, and to learn 

more about relationships between 

educational background, employment, 

and other outcomes. PIAAC is 

coordinated by the Organization for 

Economic Cooperation and 

Development (OECD) and developed by 

participating countries with the support 

of the OECD. In the United States, the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), within the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) conducts PIAAC. NCES 

has contracted with Westat to 

administer the PIAAC Cycle II Field 

Test data collection in the U.S. The 

United States participated in the PIAAC 

Main Study data collection in 2012 and 

conducted national supplement data 

collections in 2014 and 2017. All three 

of these collections are part of PIAAC 

Cycle I, in which 39 countries 

participated (24 countries in 2012, 9 

new countries in 2014, and 5 more new 

countries in 2017) with close to 200,000 

adults assessed across the 39 countries 

over the three data collections. A new 

PIAAC cycle is to be conducted 

internationally every 10 years, and
