Annual Burden Hours: 59.
Needs and Uses: The Department of the Navy (DON) recognizes all
Americans have the right to be involved in government decisions that
may affect their lives. Because of this, the Navy develops site-
specific Community Involvement Plans (CIPs) for installations
undergoing environmental restoration activities. This ensures nearby
community members have opportunities to learn about and participate in
this important clean-up process. The development and execution of a CIP
promotes community involvement and provides information on how
community members can stay informed and share information or concerns.
This is an important component to the overall success of the Navy's
Environmental Restoration Program (ERP).
Per Environmental Readiness Program Manual (OPNAV M-5090.1) and
Environmental Compliance and Protection Manual (MCO P5090.2A), DON
requires a formal CIP at all DON ERP sites, whether or not they are
National Priorities List (NPL) sites. The CIP is based on information
gathered from the community through qualitative surveys or interviews
with local officials, residents, public interest groups, and other
interested or affected parties to ascertain community concerns,
community information needs, and how or when citizens would like to be
involved in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA) process. To strengthen and maintain community
involvement as a useful tool for these purposes, DoD has directed
installations to combine pertinent data gathered from surveys or
interviews and the U.S. Bureau of the Census and various databases
maintained by the military departments, defense agencies, local and
tribal agencies, and other agencies to ensure that the CIP adequately
characterizes the affected community and addresses community needs.
To ascertain community concerns, community information needs, and
how or when citizens would like to be involved in the CERCLA process,
the Navy typically provides a qualitative survey several months before
the development of a CIP. The survey includes multiple choice questions
on areas of concern, as well as a section for open comments. The survey
is typically open for one to three months. Survey respondents include
local officials, residents, public interest groups, and other
interested or affected parties within a specific mile range of the
given ERP site. Community members are responding to the information
collection to provide input for the required updated CIP. The survey is
also used to solicit new RAB members and inform the Navy on community
awareness and understanding of the ERP process.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other
for-profit; Not-for-profit Institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
