expenditures of anglers who fish in the
rivers of California's Central Valley.
NMFS has engaged in major habitat
restoration in the Central Valley to
promote recovery of three ESA-listed
salmonids (Sacramento River winter
Chinook, Central Valley spring Chinook,
Central Valley steelhead). The survey is
intended to estimate the economic

restoration such as improved fish
passage. Information to be collected
pertains to anglers' recreational fishing
patterns, expenditures and
demographics, and factors affecting trip
frequency and location (e.g., travel
distance, amenities, landscape features
as well as quality of fishing). The data
collected will provide NMFS, as well as
state agency partners such as the
California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, with information useful for
understanding the economic importance
of Central Valley fisheries and potential
recreational benefits associated with
salmonid habitat restoration.
II. Method of Collection

anglers who fish on Central Valley
rivers will be asked to complete a

marcia.l.moorel2.civ@mail.mil.Desk
(703) 545-9113. Facsimile (703) 6925625.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to

difficulties finalizing the meeting
agenda for the scheduled meeting of the
National Commission on the Structure
of the Air Force for December 4-6, 2013,
the requirements of 41 CFR 1023.150(a) were not met. Accordingly, the
Advisory Committee Management
Officer for the Department of Defense,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b),
waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement.
Purpose of Meeting: This meeting was
held under the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of
1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended),
the Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and
41 CFR 102-3.150. The 3-day meeting
was held to conduct a wargame among
staff and Commissioner participants
while exploring issues concerning the
mix of the Active and Reserve

Components and how to better invest in
and manage human capital assets.
Relative to the force structure mix
among the Active Component, Reserve
Component, and the Air National
Guard, the objectives of the wargame are
to (1) assess the advantages and
disadvantages of contending approaches
to the future structure of the U.S. Air
Force; (2) identify current policies,
procedures, practices and legislation
that need to change in order to make the
future structure of the U.S. Air Force
more effective; and (3) understand
stakeholder interests in the future
structure of the U.S. Air Force and
assess their anticipated responses to the
Commissions' findings and
recommendations. Commissioners will
pose as key stakeholders, which include
the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, the Secretary of the U.S. Air
Force, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air
Force, and the Combatant Commanders.
As a result of the wargame,
Commissioners will have a sharper
understanding of the policies under
consideration, a more rigorous analysis
of the implications of their emerging
findings, and a more credible basis for
their recommendations.
Three teams will be formed and each
will be assigned to develop a unique
mix among the Active Component,
Reserve Component, and the Air
National Guard. One team will be
instructed to develop a future U.S. Air
Force with 65% Active Component and
35% Reserve Component. This force
mix matches the force mix planned for
fiscal year 2015. A second team will
build a future U.S. Air Force with 55%
Active Component and 45% Reserve
Component. The third team will plan a
future U.S. Air Force with 35% Active
Component and 65% Reserve
Component and Air National Guard.
The team assignments, assumptions,
and resources are designed solely for
analytical purposes and must not be
construed to imply the Commissioner's
preference for any particular force
structure as stated in this notice. The
outcomes of the Active Component and
Reserve Component force mix in the
wargame will provide insight-not final
answers. The insights gained from the
wargame will highlight issues requiring
further analysis. The first day of the
wargame will be dedicated to reviewing
how the wargame will be conducted. All
teams are to be given the same set of
assumptions, such as their resources
will be constrained by the Budget
Control Act and sequestration in
accordance with the most stressing
forecast developed by the DoD Office of
Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation. Classified data will also be
