FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To

obtain a copy of the proposal and

please write to the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary of the Army 

(Manpower & Reserve Affairs)/G–1, 

Attn: SAMR–FMMR, (Dr. John 

Anderson), 111 Army Pentagon, 

Washington, DC 20310–0111; or call 

Department of the Army Reports 

Clearance Officer at (703) 428–6440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: The Contractor Manpower 

Reporting System; OMB Control 

Number 0702–0120. 

Needs and Uses: This program greatly 

enhances the ability of the Army to 

identify and track its contractor 

workforce. Current systems do not have 

contractor manpower data that is 

collected by the contractor Manpower 

Reporting System—i.e., Direct Labor 

Hours, Direct Labor Dollars, and 

Organization supported. Existing 

financial and procurement systems have 

obligation amounts of an unknown mix 

of services and supplies, and the 

Department of the Army is not able to 

trace the funding to the organization 

supported. Like all other Federal 

Government agencies, the Army’s 

reliance on service contractor 

employees has increased significantly 

over the past few years. 

Affected Public: Business or Other For 

Profit. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,018. 

Number of Respondents: 12,215. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency: Annually. 

The Contractor Manpower Reporting 

System represents a program aimed at 

obtaining information regarding the use 

of contractor employees by the Army. 

Reliance on contractors in support of 

military operations will continue and 

likely grow. This guidance emphasizes 

the fact that armed forces are deploying 

and will deploy without a standard 

means of tracking the contractor 

workforce. Section 807 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2008 requires the Secretary of 

Defense not later than a third quarter of 

each fiscal year to submit to Congress an 

annual inventory of the activities 

performed during the preceding year 

pursuant to contracts for services for or 

on behalf of the Department of Defense.

Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is 

to inform the public that until the 

economic demand for improvements to 

the Sacramento River Deep Water 

Channel (SRDWSC) improves, the NEPA 

process has been terminated and notice 

to prepare an EIS and notice of 

availability are withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

13, 2008 (73 FR 33807), the United 

States Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE) in partnership with the Port of 

West Sacramento (Port) announced its 

intent to prepare a Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement/

Subsequent Environmental Impact 

Report (DSEIS/R) in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) to evaluate the action of 

resuming construction of navigational 

improvements to the SRDWSC. On 

February 25, 2011 (76 FR 10572), 

USACE and the Port announced the 

availability of the DSEIS/R. The DSEIS/ 

R evaluated the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

Federal action and reasonable 

alternatives. The purpose of the project 

was to resume deepening of the 

SRDWSC to its congressionally 

authorized depth to realize economic 

benefits resulting from transportation 

cost savings associated with moving 

goods to and from the Port. USACE and 

the Port might resume the NEPA process 

in the future should economic demand 

for the project improve.

Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, District 

Engineer.
