DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army
Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement (PEIS) on Transportable
Treatment Systems for Non-Stockpile
Chemical Warfare Materiel
AGENCY: Department of the Army,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
SUMMARY: This ROD has been prepared
by the Department of the Army in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
President’s Council on Environmental
Quality regulation (40 CFR 1500–1508),
and Army Regulation 200–2. This
decision is based on the analyses
contained in the February 2001 Final
PEIS on Transportable Treatment
Systems for Non-Stockpile Chemical
Warfare Materiel, the associated public
and other input received in response to
coordination of this document, and
other considerations. The primary
decisions reached in the ROD on
transportable treatment systems are to:
(1) Proceed with development and
testing of the Rapid Response System
and the Explosive Destruction System
and make these systems available for
deployment and (2) suspend further
development and testing of the
Munitions Management Device Versions
PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
One and Two (based on current program
needs),; however, the Munitions
Management Device technologies were
determined to be environmentally safe
and subsystems could be used in the
future.
ADDRESSES: Questions on the ROD or
requests for copies of the document
should be directed to: Program Manager
for Chemical Demilitarization, ATTN:
SFAE–CD–NP (Mr. John Gieseking/
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement), Aberdeen Proving Ground,
Maryland 21010–4005 or via e-mail at
john.gieseking@pmcd.apgea.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
John Gieseking at (410) 436–3768 or by
fax at (410) 436–8737.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PEIS
was used to help the Army make this
program-level decision with input from
the public. The Army’s Product
Manager for Non-Stockpile Chemical
Materiel has analyzed the potential
environmental and socioeconomic
consequences of two alternative courses
of action in the Final PEIS with Respect
to the Army’s chemical demilitarization
responsibilities. These alternatives are:
(1) Completing development and testing
of the transportable chemical treatment
systems and making them available to
be used where needed and appropriate
to process non-stockpile chemical
warfare materiel and (2) the no-action
alternative, under which the Army
would discontinue the development of
the transportable treatment systems and
continue to store non-stockpile
chemical warfare materiel until other
suitable technologies are developed.
Copies of the ROD can also be
obtained by calling Ms. Louise Dyson,
Public outreach and Information Office,

Chemical Demilitarization, at 1–800–

AGENCY: Department of Education.

 43092 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2002 / Notices
ACTION: Notice of proposed information
collection requests.
SUMMARY: The Leader, Regulatory
Information Management, Office of the
Chief Information Officer, invites
comments on the proposed information
collection requests as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: An emergency review has been
requested in accordance with the Act
(44 U.S.C. chapter 3507 (j)), since public
harm is reasonably likely to result if
normal clearance procedures are
followed. Approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
been requested by July 12, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding the emergency review should
be addressed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: Karen Lee, Desk Officer:
Department of Education, Office of
Management and Budget; 725 17th
Street, NW., Room 10235, New
Executive Office Building, Washington,
DC 20503.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that
the Director of OMB provide interested
Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) may
amend or waive the requirement for
public consultation to the extent that
public participation in the approval
process would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or
Federal law, or substantially interfere
with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The Leader,
Regulatory Information Management,
Office of the Chief Information Officer,
publishes this notice containing
proposed information collection
requests at the beginning of the
Departmental review of the information
collection. Each proposed information
collection, grouped by office, contains
the following: (1) Type of review
requested, e.g., new, revision, extension,
existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)
Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and
proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. ED invites
public comment.
The Department of Education is
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is
this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner, (3) is the estimate
VerDate May<23>2002 19:57 Jun 25, 2002 Jkt 197001
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected, and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this
collection on respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Indian Education Discretionary
Grant Applications (KI).
Abstract: Application for funding for
Indian Education discretionary
programs of Demonstration Grants for
Indian Children and Professional
Development. The information is used
to determine applicant eligibility and
amount of awards for projects selected
for funding.
Additional Information
An emergency clearance is necessary
to enable the Department to allow
potential grantees the opportunity to
apply for funding this fiscal year under
these discretionary grant programs and
begin funded programs early in the
coming school year. The regulations for
the program are being published as a
final rule with request for comments.
This allows the Department to
implement the programs without delay,
but still provides the public with an
opportunity to comment on the
regulatory provisions. A delay in the
clearance of these information
collection requirements will mean that
the program will be unable to make
awards this year and funds would lapse.
Further the selected funded projects
will be unable to recruit the most
qualified staff or training participants
and successfully begin implementation
of their programs early in the 2002–03
school year. In our view harm to the
public would occur if this clearance is
not approved.
Although OMB will provide
provisional clearance of this
information collection in order to get
awards out this year, the public will
have another chance to comment on the
information collection requirements of
the final rule when the final regulation
is published in mid-July, 2002.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs (primary).
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour
Burden:
