functionality of smoke and CO alarms in 

households, as well as assess user 

hazard perceptions regarding such 

alarms. The purpose of the SCOA 

survey is to collect data that will assist 

CPSC with better estimation of the 

number and types of smoke and CO 

alarms installed in U.S. households, the 

proportion of working smoke and CO 

alarms, the characteristics of residences 

and residents where the smoke and CO 

alarms are not operational, perceptions 

of residents related to the causes of 

‘‘false’’ alarms or causes of faulty 

alarms, consumer hazard awareness, 

and consumer behavior related to alarm 

use and smoke and CO hazards. 

The information collected from the 

SCOA survey would provide CPSC 

updated national estimates regarding 

the use of smoke alarms and CO alarms 

in households, based on direct 

observation of alarm installations. The 

survey also would help CPSC identify 

the groups that do not have operable 

smoke alarms and/or CO alarms and 

understand the reasons why they do not 

have such alarms. With this 

information, CPSC would be able to 

target better its messaging to improve 

consumer use and awareness regarding 

the operability of these alarms. In 

addition, the survey results would help 

to inform CPSC’s recommendations to 

voluntary standards groups and state/ 

local jurisdictions regarding their codes, 

standards, and/or regulations on smoke 

and CO alarms. 

B. Burden Hours 

We estimate the number of 

respondents to be 1,185. We estimate 

the total annual burden hours for 

respondents to be 1,552 hours, based on 

the total time required to respond to the 

invitation, screener, and the actual 

survey. According to the U.S. Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, the total compensation 

for civilian workers in March 2021 was 

$39.01 per hour (Employer Cost for 

Employee Compensation, Table 2, 

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ecec.t02.htm). Therefore, CPSC 

estimates the cost burden for 

respondents to be $60,544 ($39.01 per 

hour × 1,552 hours = $60,543.52). The 

total cost to the federal government for 

the contract to design and conduct the 

revised survey is $562,725. 

C. Request for Comments 

The CPSC invites comments on these 

topics: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of CPSC’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of CPSC’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology.

BILLING CODE 6355–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Army Training Land Retention of State 

Lands at Kahuku Training Area, 

Poamoho Training Area, and Makua 

Military Reservation, Island of O‘ahu, 

Hawai‘i 

AGENCY: Department of the Army; DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 1969 and the Hawai‘i 

Environmental Policy Act (HEPA), the 

Department of the Army (Army) is 

issuing this Notice of Intent to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) to address the Army’s proposed 

retention of up to approximately 6,300 

acres of land currently leased to the 

Army by the State of Hawai‘i (‘‘Stateowned lands’’) on the island of O‘ahu. 

Lease agreements between the State of 

Hawai‘i and the Army at each of these 

three training areas were initiated in 

1964 and expire in 2029. State-owned 

lands includes approximately 1,170 

acres at Kahuku Training Area (KTA), 

approximately 4,370 acres at Poamoho 

Training Area (Poamoho), and 

approximately 760 acres at Makua 

Military Reservation (MMR). Training 

areas are utilized by Army units and 

other users such as the Marine Corps 

and Hawaii Army National Guard. 

Because the Proposed Action involves 

State-owned lands, the EIS will be a 

joint NEPA–HEPA document; therefore, 

the public scoping processes will run 

concurrently and will jointly meet 

NEPA and HEPA requirements. The EIS 

will evaluate the environmental impacts 

from implementing the proposed land 

retention. 

DATES: The Army invites public 

comments on the scope of the EIS 

during a 40-day public scoping period. 

Comments must be received by 

September 1, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments to the EIS website at: https:// 

home.army.mil/hawaii/index.php/ 

OAHUEIS. Alternatively, comments can 

be emailed to usarmy.hawaii.nepa@

mail.mil, or mailed to: O‘ahu ATLR EIS 

Comments, P.O. Box 3444, Honolulu, HI

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please contact Amy Bugala, U.S. Army 

Garrison-Hawai‘i (USAG–HI) Public 

Affairs Officer, at: (808) 656–3160 or by 

email to: usarmy.hawaii.comrel@

mail.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAG–HI 

is home to the 25th Infantry Division 

(ID), and other commands, whose 

mission is to deploy to conduct decisive 

actions in support of unified land 

operations; the Division conducts 

continuous persistent engagement with 

regional partners to shape the 

environment and prevent conflict across 

the Pacific operational environment. On 

orders, these units may conduct theaterwide deployment to perform combat 

operations in support of U.S. IndoPacific Command (USINDOPACOM). 

The 25th ID is based out of Schofield 

Barracks on the island of O‘ahu and 

trains on a rotational basis at various 

training areas, including KTA, 

Poamoho, and MMR. 

Located in northeast O‘ahu, KTA has 

been the site of military training since 

the mid-1950s. Current training 

activities on State-owned lands at KTA 

include high-density company-level 

helicopter training in a tactical 

environment, large-scale ground 

maneuver training, and air support 

training. 

Located in the Ko‘olau Mountains in 

north-central O‘ahu, the Poamoho 

Training Area has been the site of 

military training since 1964 and 

provides ideal airspace with ravines and 

deep vegetation vital to realistic 

helicopter training. 

Located in northwest O‘ahu, MMR 

has been a site for military training for 

nearly 100 years. Tactical training at 

MMR began in 1941 after the surprise 

attack on Pearl Harbor and military 

exercises continue to this day. Current 

training activities on State-owned lands 

at MMR include maneuver training, the 

establishment and use of restricted 

airspace for unmanned aerial vehicle 

training, as well as wildfire suppression 

and security activities. 

The purpose of land retention is to 

secure the long-term military use of 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
39008 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 139 / Friday, July 23, 2021 / Notices 

State-owned parcels, for which current 

leases expire in 2029. The need to retain 

use of these training lands is to allow 

the military to continue to meet current 

and future training and combat 

readiness requirements on Armymanaged lands in Hawai‘i. 

To understand the environmental 

consequences of the decisions to be 

made, the EIS will evaluate the 

reasonably foreseeable impacts of a 

range of potential alternatives that meet 

the purpose of and need for the 

Proposed Action. Alternatives to be 

considered include the No Action 

Alternative, (1) Full Retention, (2) 

Modified Retention, and (3) Minimum 

Retention and Access. The Proposed 

Action does not involve new training, 

construction, or resource management 

activities. Under Full Retention, the 

Army would retain all State-owned 

lands within each training area. Under 

Modified Retention, the Army would 

retain all State-owned lands within each 

training area except lands on which 

limited training occurs. Under Limited 

Retention and Access, the Army would 

retain the minimum amount of Stateowned lands within each training area 

that is required for USARHAW to 

continue to meet its current ongoing 

training requirements. This includes the 

State-owned lands with the most vital 

training/support facilities, 

infrastructure, maneuver land, all U.S. 

Government-owned utilities, and access 

to these features. Other reasonable 

alternatives raised during the scoping 

process that meet the Army mission, 

project purpose, and need will also be 

considered for evaluation in the EIS. 

An EIS-level analysis is being 

undertaken because the land retention 

action could have potentially significant 

impacts on environmental and social 

resource areas including biological 

resources, cultural resources, hazardous 

and toxic materials and wastes, 

socioeconomics, utilities, and human 

health and safety. The analysis in the 

EIS will determine the projected level of 

impact on each resource area. 

The Army anticipates permits and 

authorizations may be required for the 

Proposed Action, including a lease from 

the State of Hawai‘i Department of Land 

and Natural Resources (DLNR), National 

Historic Preservation Act and Hawai‘i 

Historic Preservation Review 

consultation with the State Historic 

Preservation Officer, Endangered 

Species Act Section 7 consultation with 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a 

Coastal Zone Management consistency 

determination from the Hawai‘i State 

Office of Planning, and a Conservation 

District Use Permit applicability 

determination from the DLNR Office of 

Conservation and Coastal Lands. 

The Draft EIS will be available in the 

summer of 2022. The Final EIS 2023, 

ROD spring 2024. The Final EIS and 

Record of Decision are estimated to be 

available within three years of this 

notice. 

Native Hawaiian organizations; 

Federal, State, and local agencies; and 

the public are invited to be involved in 

the scoping process for the preparation 

of this EIS by participating in a scoping 

meeting and/or submitting written 

comments. The Army requests 

assistance with identifying potential 

alternatives to the Proposed Action to be 

considered and identification of 

information and analyses relevant to the 

Proposed Action. Written comments
