environment, mission needs, and 

Soldier and Family quality of life

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of the 

ROD, please contact Mr. Charles 

Walden, Project Manager, Directorate of 

Public Works, Prevention and 

Compliance Branch, Environmental 

Division, 1550 Frank Cochran Drive,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Kevin Larson, Public Affairs Office, at 

(912) 435–9879 during normal business 

hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

decision to proceed with the 

implementation of Alternative B allows 

the Army to better accomplish its 

sustainability goals on Fort Stewart 

because the sites are optimal for design, 

lessen environmental impacts, and are 

more land-use compatible. Minor to 

negligible impacts have been identified 

for cultural resources and consultation 

with the Georgia State Historic 

Preservation Office is complete. 

Moderate adverse impacts have been 

identified for soils, water quality, 

protected species, timber resources, 

wildland fire, and noise as part of 

implementing the decision. There are no 

practicable alternatives to locating the 

projects in wetlands or floodplains, but 

the selected alternative minimizes 

floodplain and wetland impacts. There 

will be moderate adverse impacts to 

protected species (red-cockaded 

woodpecker and frosted flatwood 

salamander). Formal consultation with 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is 

complete and all practicable mitigation 

measures and best management 

practices will be implemented to offset 

environmental impacts. The action will 

not jeopardize the continued existence 

of these species. The Known Distance 

Range, a Qualification Training Range, 

an Infantry Squad Battle Course, a Fire 

and Movement Range, and a 25 Meter 

Zero Range were analyzed as part of the 

proposed action in the Environmental 

Impact Statement, but have been 

deferred due to funding. These five 

ranges have been included in the ROD 

because they may be funded in the 

future. Mitigation associated with these 

ranges will be implemented in the event 

the ranges are constructed. The No 

Action Alternative would not provide 

enough ranges and support facilities 

needed to adequately accomplish the 

mission. Alternative C, with different 

range and support facility sitings than 

Alternative B, would result in greater 

adverse environmental impacts and is 

not preferred operationally.

Abstract: The Secretary has amended 

title 34 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations by adding a new part 462 

that establish procedures the Secretary 

uses when considering the suitability of 

tests for use in the National Reporting 

System (NRS) for adult education. The 

regulations further the Department’s 

implementation of section 212 of the 

Adult Education and Family Literacy 

Act (AEFLA). These regulations also 

include procedures that States and 

Local eligible providers would follow 

when using suitable tests. The AEFLA 

makes accountability for results a 

central focus of the law. It sets out 

performance accountability 

requirements for States and Local 

programs that measure program 

effectiveness on the basis of student 

academic achievement and other 

outcomes. 

Educational gain is the key outcome 

measure in the NRS, which describes 

students’ improvement in literacy skills 

during instruction. States are required to 

have their local programs assessments

gained by administering standardized 

pre-post assessments to students, 

following valid administration 

procedures. The NRS Guidelines allow 

states to select the assessments most 

appropriate for their state, which may 

be published standardized tests or 

performance-based assessments. If the 

state uses performance-based 

assessments, NRS guidelines require the 

assessment to have standardized 

procedures and scoring rubrics that 

meet accepted psychometric standards.
