(SPI) processes as alternatives to

(b) Single Process Initiative (SPI) 

processes in lieu of military or Federal

The provision at DFARS 252.211– 

7004, Alternate Preservation, Packaging, 

and Packing, is used in solicitations that 

include military preservation, 

packaging, or packing specifications 

when it may be feasible for DoD to 

evaluate and award using commercial or 

industrial preservation, packaging, or

propose alternate preservation,

evaluation of the proposed commercial 

or industrial preservation, packaging, or 

packing. 

The clause at DFARS 252.211–7005, 

Substitutions for Military or Federal 

Specifications and Standards, is used in 

solicitations and contracts for 

previously developed items. The clause 

encourages offerors to propose 

management or manufacturing 

processes, if previously accepted by 

DoD under the Single Process Initiative 

(SPI) program, as alternatives to military 

or Federal specifications and standards 

cited in the solicitation.

implements section 831 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1991 (Public Law 101–510) and 

section 811 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000

Frequency: Semiannually (mentor); 

Annually (protege). 

Summary of Information Collection 

DFARS Appendix I–112.2(a)–(d) 

requires mentor firms to report on the 

progress made under active mentorprotege agreements semiannually for the 

periods ending March 31 and September

mentor-protege agreement, including 

dollars obligated, expenditures, credit 

taken under the Program, applicable 

subcontract awards under DoD 

contracts, developmental assistance 

provided, impact of the agreement, and 

progress of the agreement; and 

(2) For each contract where 

developmental assistance was credited 

toward an SDB subcontracting goal, a 

copy of SF 294, Subcontracting Report 

for Individual Contracts (ISR), and/or SF 

295, Summary Subcontracting Report 

(SSR) with a statement identifying— 

(i) The amount of dollars credited to 

the applicable subcontracting goal as a 

result of developmental assistance 

provided to protege firms under the 

Program; and 

(ii) The number and dollar value of 

subcontracts awarded to the protege 

firm(s), broken out per protege. 

DFARS Appendix I–112.2(e) requires 

the protege firm to annually provide 

data by October 31 on the progress made 

by the protege firm in employment, 

revenues, and participation in DoD 

contracts during each fiscal year of the 

Program participation term and each of 

the two fiscal years following the 

expiration of the Program participation 

term. During the Program participation 

term, the firms may provide this data as

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement on 

Beach and Dune Restoration in St. 

Lucie County, FL 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Jacksonville District, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District, 

has received a permit application for a 

Department of the Army permit under 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act 

from the St. Lucie County Erosion 

Control District (County) to construct a 

beach nourishment and dune restoration 

project along St. Lucie County. As part 

of the permit process, the Corps is 

evaluating the environmental effects 

associated with beach nourishment and 

dune restoration. 

The primary Federal involvement 

associated with the Proposed Action is 

the dredging and discharge of fill within 

navigable waters of the United States. 

Because of the extensive hardbottom 

resources immediately adjacent to the 

beach, the high recreational uses of the 

project area, and the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

project, the Corps will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

in compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to 

render a final decision on the County’s 

permit application. The Corps’ decision 

will be to either issue or deny a 

Department of the Army permit for the 

Proposed Action. The Draft EIS (DEIS) 

is intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address Federal, State, and local 

requirements and environmental issues
