50,000-square-foot shoreside
Maintenance Support Facility, and a
shoreside emergency diesel generator
facility. The new Maintenance Support
Facility would be built within an
existing parking lot. To support
additional personnel, a 6-acre upland
parking lot and lay down area would be
constructed near the proposed
Maintenance Support Facility. The SPE
would be supported by approximately
320 steel piles.
(vi) SPE Alternative 3 (Long Pier
Configuration)—The DoN would
consolidate SEAWOLF Class
submarines on NAVBASE Kitsap Bangor
and build and operate the SPE proposed
action using an in-line berth submarine
mooring configuration. The proposed
new facilities associated with this
option include a 1,200-lineal-foot SPE, a
3,100-square-foot Pier Services and
Compressor Building, a pier crane, a
50,000-square-foot shoreside
Maintenance Support Facility, and a
shoreside emergency diesel generator
facility. The new Maintenance Support
Facility would be built within an
existing parking lot. To support
additional personnel, a 6-acre upland
parking lot and lay down area would be
constructed near the proposed
Maintenance Support Facility. The SPE
would be supported by approximately
700 steel piles.
The proposed actions will be
designed to minimize environmental
impacts to the extent practicable. Project
details including construction methods,
schedule, operations, and maintenance,
will be developed during the design
process and analyzed in the Draft EIS.
No decision will be made to
implement any alternative until the EIS
process is completed and a Record of
Decision is signed by the acting
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of
the Navy (Energy, Installations, and
Environment).
The impacts to be evaluated include,
but will not be limited to, effects on
federally listed threatened and
endangered species and critical habitat,
impacts relating to underwater noise
and airborne noise from pile driving and
other actions, loss of eelgrass and other
marine habitat, decreased opportunities
for migratory and transient movement of
fish and wildlife within the waterfront,
reduction in water quality, effects on
littoral drift (shoreline sediment
movement), and effects on tribal
resources.
The analysis will include an
evaluation of direct, indirect, shortterm, and long-term impacts of
construction and operation of each
project as well as cumulative impacts

from other DoN and non-DoN activities
in the project area.
The DoN is initiating the scoping
process to identify community concerns
and local issues to be addressed in the
EIS. Federal, state, and local agencies,
American Indian tribes, and interested
persons are encouraged to provide
written comments at scheduled public
scoping meetings. All written
statements will become part of the
public record and will be responded to
in the Draft EIS.
Written comments should be mailed
to Naval Facilities Engineering

a nationally representative, longitudinal
study of more than 20,000 9th graders
in 944 schools who will be followed

through their secondary and
postsecondary years. The main study
students were re-surveyed in 2012 when
most were high school 11th graders. The
study focuses on understanding
students’ trajectories from the beginning
of high school into postsecondary
education or the workforce and beyond.
What students decide to pursue when,
why, and how are crucial questions for
HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in
regards to science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) courses,
majors, and careers. This study includes
a new student assessment in algebraic
skills, reasoning, and problem solving
and, like past studies, will survey
students, their parents, school
administrators, school counselors, and
teachers. Students will be administered
a questionnaire and an assessment
instrument. This submission will ask for
the clearance for the update of
HSLS:2009 high school students who
were in 9th grade in the base year (June
2013-October 2013), collection of their
high school transcripts (September
2013–January 2014), and 2nd follow-up
sample panel maintenance (between CU
& 2FU FT; Fall 2013).

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Advanced Rehabilitation Research
Training (ARRT) Projects program is to
provide advanced research training and
experience to individuals with
doctorates, or similar advanced degrees,
who have clinical or other relevant
experience. ARRT projects train
rehabilitation researchers, including
researchers with disabilities, with
particular attention to research areas
that support the implementation and
objectives of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended (Act), and that
improve the effectiveness of services
authorized under the Act.
The purpose of this competition is to
improve the capacity of minority
entities to develop and support
disability and rehabilitation research
training opportunities, by limiting
eligibility for ARRT grants to minority
entities. Section 21(b)(2)(A) of the Act
authorizes NIDRR to make awards to
minority entities and Indian tribes to
carry out activities authorized under
Title II of the Act.
Note: This program is in concert with
NIDRR’s currently approved long-range plan
(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and
integrates many issues relating to disability
and rehabilitation research topics. The Plan,
which was published in the Federal Register
on February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8166), can be
accessed on the Internet at the following site:
www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/nidrr/
policy.html.

Through the implementation of the
Plan, NIDRR seeks to (1) improve the
quality and utility of disability and
rehabilitation research; (2) foster an
exchange of expertise, information, and
training methods to facilitate the
advancement of knowledge and
understanding of the unique needs of
individuals with disabilities from
traditionally underserved populations;
(3) determine the best strategies and
programs to improve rehabilitation
outcomes for individuals with
disabilities from underserved
populations; (4) identify research gaps;
(5) identify mechanisms for integrating
research and practice; and (6)
disseminate findings.
Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR
75.105(b)(2)(ii), this priority is from the
regulations for this program (34 CFR
350.12 and 350.64 through 350.65).

Absolute Priority: For FY 2013, and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is: Minority-Serving
Institution (MSI) Advanced
Rehabilitation Research Training
Projects.
This MSI–ARRT priority is intended
to improve the capacity of minority
entities, as defined in section 21 of the
Act, to develop and support disability
and rehabilitation research training
opportunities. ARRT projects must (1)
recruit and select candidates for
advanced research training; (2) provide
a training program that includes
didactic and classroom instruction, is
multidisciplinary, and emphasizes
scientific methodology, and may
involve collaboration among
institutions; (3) provide research
experience, laboratory experience or its
equivalent in a community-based
research setting, and a practicum that
involve each individual in clinical
research and in practical activities with
organizations representing individuals
with disabilities; (4) provide academic
mentorship or guidance, and
opportunities for scientific collaboration
with qualified researchers at the host
university and other appropriate
institutions; and (5) provide
opportunities for participation in the
development of professional
presentations and publications, and for
attendance at professional conferences
and meetings, as appropriate for the
individual’s field of study and level of
experience.
The ARRT project must provide
training to individuals for at least one
academic year, unless a longer training
period is necessary to ensure that each
trainee is qualified to conduct
independent research upon completion
of the course of training; and require
trainees to devote at least 80 percent of
their time to the activities of the training
program during the training period.
Note: We expect an applicant to articulate
goals, objectives, and expected outcomes for
the research training activities. An applicant
should describe expected public benefits of
these training activities, especially benefits
for individuals with disabilities, and propose
projects that are optimally designed to
demonstrate outcomes that are consistent
with the proposed goals. Each applicant is
encouraged to include information describing
how it will measure outcomes, including the
indicators for determining that results have
occurred. Submission of this measurement
information is voluntary, except where
required by the selection criteria listed in the
application package.
