DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy

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. Pritzker 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 within
the Hawaiian Islands Stock Complex of
common bottlenose dolphins and allow
public comment on that analysis. The
court upheld the current SEIS/SOEIS in
all other respects. The SEIS/SOEIS
proposed in this notice will be prepared
for the limited purpose of addressing
the single deficiency identified by the
court.

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Field-Initiated (FI) Projects program
is to develop methods, procedures, and
rehabilitation technology that maximize
the full inclusion and integration into
society, employment, independent
living, family support, and economic
and social self-sufficiency of individuals
with disabilities, especially individuals
with the most severe disabilities.
Another purpose of the FI Projects
program is to improve the effectiveness
of services authorized under the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(Act).
The purpose of this competition is to
improve the capacity of minority
entities to conduct high-quality
disability and rehabilitation research.
NIDRR will accomplish this by limiting
eligibility for this competition to
minority entities and Indian tribes in a
manner consistent with section
21(b)(2)(A) of the Act, which authorizes
NIDRR to make awards to minority
entities and Indian tribes to carry out
activities authorized under Title II of the
Act.
NIDRR makes two types of awards
under the FI Projects program: research
grants and development grants. The MSI
FI Projects research grants will be
awarded under CFDA 84.133G–4, and
the development grants will be awarded
under CFDA 84.133G–5.
Note: Different selection criteria are used
for FI Projects research grants and
development grants. An applicant must
clearly indicate in the application whether it
is applying for a research grant (84.133G–4)
or a development grant (84.133G–5) and must
address the selection criteria relevant for its
grant type. Without exception, NIDRR will
review each application based on the grant
designation made by the applicant.
Applications will be determined ineligible
and will not be reviewed if they do not
include a clear designation as a research
grant or a development grant.

In carrying out a research activity
under an FI Projects research grant, a
grantee must identify one or more
hypotheses or research questions and,
based on the hypotheses or research
questions identified, perform an
intensive, systematic study directed
toward producing (1) new or full
scientific knowledge, or (2) better
understanding of the subject, problem
studied, or body of knowledge.
In carrying out a development activity
under an FI Projects development grant,
a grantee must use knowledge and
understanding gained from research to
create materials, devices, systems, or
methods beneficial to the target
