SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Pentagon/Mark Center Food 

Satisfaction Survey; OMB Control 

Number 0703–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA) between the 

Department of Defense Concessions 

Committee (DoDCC) and the Navy 

Exchange Service Command 

(NEXCOM), dated 01 January 2014 

contracts the Navy Exchange Service 

Command to manage and run food 

operations in the Pentagon and Mark 

Center. As part of the MOA, NEXCOM 

is required to conduct periodic 

customer satisfaction surveys to assess 

food service operator performance. The 

survey is also critical to identifying 

deficiencies in food operator 

performance, hygiene or safety. The 

survey provides valuable customer 

feedback which is used to evaluate the 

performance of food vendors. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 333. 

Number of Respondents: 2000. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondents are the customers of the 

food outlets at the Pentagon and Mark 

Center managed by NEXCOM for the 

DoDCC. The feedback gained from the 

survey is critical to providing our 

customers the Pentagon and Mark 

Center with enjoyable and healthy food 

options. It is a best business practice for 

food service companies to conduct 

frequent or ongoing feedback from their 

customers. Because NEXCOM uses 

multiple food vendors, it is critical that 

the questions asked be consistent, and 

that the time period for collection of the 

feedback be the same.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement/Supplemental Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Surveillance Towed Array Sensor 

System Low Frequency Active 

(SURTASS LFA) Sonar 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act as 

implemented by the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508) and Executive 

Order 12114, the Department of the 

Navy (DoN) has prepared and filed with 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) a Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement/

Supplemental Overseas Environmental 

Impact Statement (Draft SEIS/SOEIS) to 

analyze the potential impact of 

SURTASS LFA sonar on the five 

common bottlenose dolphin stocks 

comprising the Hawaiian Islands Stock 

Complex (Kauai/Niiahu, Oahu, 

4-Islands, Hawaii Island, and Hawaii 

Pelagic). USEPA published their notice 

of availability of the SURTASS LFA 

sonar draft supplement on October 24, 

2014 (79 FR 63622). 

DATES: Public comment period will end 

on December, 8, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

SURTASS LFA Sonar Draft SEIS/SOEIS 

should be addressed to: SURTASS LFA 

Sonar SEIS/SOEIS Program Manager, 

4201 Wilson Blvd. #110–185, Arlington, 

Virginia 22203; or email: eisteam@

surtass-lfa-eis.com. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Chief of Naval Operations, Code N2/

SOEIS Program Manager, 4201 Wilson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although 

the most recent Final SEIS/SOEIS for 

SURTASS LFA sonar was completed in 

June 2012, during subsequent litigation 

(Natural Resources Defense Council, 

Inc. et al. v. Pritzger et al., No. 12–cv– 

05380–EDL [E.D. Cal. October 18, 

2012]), the court found that the SEIS/

SOEIS was deficient in one limited 

respect in that the DoN failed to use the 

best available data from the 2010 Pacific 

Stock Assessment Report to analyze the 

potential impact of SURTASS LFA 

sonar on the individual stocks that 

comprise the Hawaiian Islands Stock 

Complex of common bottlenose 

dolphins. The court upheld the current 

SEIS/SOEIS in all other respects. The 

Draft SEIS/SOEIS in this notice was 

prepared for the limited purpose of 

addressing the single deficiency 

identified by the court. 

The Draft SEIS/SOEIS has been 

distributed to appropriate Federal and 

state government agencies and officials 

and other interested parties. In addition, 

copies of the Draft SEIS/SOEIS have 

been distributed to the following 

regional libraries for public review: 

1. Hawaii Documents Center, Hawaii State 

Library, 478 South King St, Honolulu, HI 

96813. 

2. Kaneohe Public Library, 45–829

BILLING CODE 3810–FF–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Applications for Eligibility Designation; 

Programs under Parts A and F of Title 

III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 

as amended (HEA), and Programs 

under Title V of the HEA 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Overview Information: 

This notice applies to the following 

programs: 

1. Programs authorized under Part A, 

Title III of the HEA: Strengthening 

Institutions Program (Part A SIP), 

Alaska Native and Native HawaiianServing Institutions (Part A ANNH), 

Predominantly Black Institutions (Part 

A PBI), Native American-Serving 

Nontribal Institutions (Part A NASNTI), 

and Asian American and Native 

American Pacific Islander-Serving 

Institutions (Part A AANAPISI). 

2. Programs authorized under Part F, 

Title III of the HEA: Hispanic-Serving 

Institutions STEM and Articulation 

(Part F, HSI STEM and Articulation), 

Predominantly Black Institutions (Part F 

PBI), Alaska Native and Native 

Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (Part F 

ANNH), Native American-Serving 

Nontribal Institutions (Part F NASNTI) 

and Asian American and Native 

American Pacific Islander-Serving 

Institutions (Part F AANAPISI). 

3. Programs authorized under Title V 

of the HEA: Developing HispanicServing Institutions (HSI) and 

Promoting Postbaccalaureate 

Opportunities for Hispanic Americans 

(PPOHA). Notice inviting applications 

for designation as an eligible institution 

for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015. 

DATES: Application Available: 

November 3, 2014. 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: December 18, 2014. 

Special Note: Section 312 of the HEA and 

34 CFR 607.2–607.5 include most of the basic 

eligibility requirements for grant programs 

authorized under Titles III and V of the HEA. 

Section 312(b)(1)(B) of the HEA provides 

that, to be eligible for these programs, an 

institution of higher education’s average 

‘‘educational and general expenditures’’ 

(E&G) per full-time equivalent (FTE) 

undergraduate student must be less than the 

average E&G expenditures per FTE 

undergraduate student of institutions that 

offer similar instruction in that year. 34 CFR 

607.4(a). Since 2004, the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) has calculated 

core expenses (Core Expenses) per FTE of 

postsecondary institutions, a statistic similar 

to E&G per FTE. Both E&G per FTE and Core 

Expenses per FTE are based on regular 

operational expenditures of postsecondary 

institutions (excluding auxiliary enterprises, 

independent operations, and hospital 

expenses). They differ only in that E&G per 

FTE is based on fall undergraduate 

enrollment, while Core Expenses per FTE is 

based on 12-month undergraduate 

enrollment for the academic year. To avoid 

inconsistency in the data submitted to and 

produced by the Department, for the purpose 

of section 312(b)(1)(B) of the HEA, E&G per 

FTE will now be calculated using the same 

methodology as Core Expenses per FTE. 

Accordingly, with regard to this and future 

notices inviting applications, to calculate 

E&G per FTE for the purpose of determining 

institutional eligibility for programs under 

Part A and Part F of Title III and Title V of 

the HEA, the Department will apply the 

NCES methodology for calculating Core 

Expenses per FTE. Institutions applying for 

eligibility must use the Core Expenses per 

FTE data reported to NCES’s Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) for the most currently available 

academic year, in this case 2012–2013. 

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Programs: 

The Part A SIP, Part A ANNH, Part A 

PBI, Part A NASNTI, and Part A 

AANAPISI programs are authorized 

under Title III, Part A, of the HEA. The 

HSI and PPOHA programs are 

authorized under Title V of the HEA. 

The Part F, HSI STEM and Articulation, 

Part F PBI, Part F AANAPISI, Part F 

ANNH, and Part F NASNTI programs 

are authorized under Title III, Part F of 

the HEA. Please note that certain 

programs in this notice have the same 

or a similar name as another program 

that falls under a different statutory 

authority. For this reason, we specify 

the statutory authority as part of the 

acronym for certain programs. 

Under the programs discussed above, 

institutions of higher education (‘‘IHEs’’ 

or ‘‘institutions’’) are eligible to apply 

for grants if they meet specific statutory 

and regulatory eligibility requirements. 

An IHE that submits an application and 

is designated as an eligible institution 

may also receive a waiver of certain 

non-Federal cost-sharing requirements 

for one year under the Federal 

Supplemental Educational Opportunity 

Grants (FSEOG) program authorized by 

Part A, Title IV of the HEA and the 

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) 

program authorized by section 443 of 

the HEA. Qualified institutions may 

receive the FWS and FSEOG waivers for 

one year even if they do not receive a 

grant under the Title III or Title V 

Programs. An applicant that receives a 

grant from the Student Support Services 

(SSS) program that is authorized under 

section 402D of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. 

1070a–14, may receive a waiver of the 

required non-Federal share for 

institutions for the duration of the grant. 

An applicant that receives a grant from 

the Undergraduate International Studies 

and Foreign Language (UISFL) program 

that is authorized under section 604 of 

the HEA, 20 U.S.C. 1124, may receive a 

waiver or reduction of the required nonFederal share for institutions for the 

duration of the grant. 

Special Note: To qualify as an eligible 

institution under the grant programs listed in 

this notice, your institution must satisfy 

several criteria. For most of these programs, 

these criteria include those that relate to the 

enrollment of needy students and to Core 

Expenses per FTE for a specified base year. 

The most recent data available for Core 

Expenses per FTE are for base year 2012– 

2013. In order to award FY 2015 grants in a 

timely manner, we will use this data to 

evaluate eligibility. Therefore, in completing 

your eligibility application, please use Core 

Expenses per FTE reported to IPEDS for 

academic year 2012–2013. 

Accordingly, all institutions 

interested in applying for a new grant 

under the Title III or Title V programs 

addressed in this notice or in requesting 

a waiver of the non-Federal cost share, 

must apply for eligibility designation for 

FY 2015. Under the HEA, any IHE 

interested in applying for a grant under 

any of these programs must first be 

designated as an eligible institution. (34 

CFR 606.5 and 607.5). 

Eligible Applicants: 

The eligibility requirements for the 

programs authorized under Part A of 

Title III of the HEA are in Sections 312 

and 317–320 of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 

1058, 1059d–1059g) and in the 

Department’s implementing regulations 

at 34 CFR 607.2 through 607.5. The
