The NOSB makes recommendations about whether a substance should be allowed or prohibited in organic production and/or handling, assists in the development of standards for organic production, and advises the Secretary on other aspects of the implementation of the Organic Foods Production Act (7 U.S.C. 6501-6522). The NOSB currently has six subcommittees working on various aspects of the Organic Program. The subcommittees are: Compliance, Accreditation, and Certification; Crops; Handling; Livestock; Materials/Genetically Modified Organisms; and Policy Development. The primary purpose of NOSB meetings is to provide an opportunity for the organic community to give input on proposed NOSB recommendations and discussion items. The meetings also allow the NOSB to receive updates from the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) on issues pertaining to organic agriculture. The meeting will be open to the public. The meeting agenda, NOSB proposals and discussion documents, instructions for submitting and viewing public comments, and instructions for requesting a time slot for oral comments are available on the NOP Web site at http://www.ams.usda.gov/NOSBMeetings. The discussion documents and proposals encompass a wide range of topics, including: substances petitioned to the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List), substances on the National List that require NOSB review before their 2015 and 2016 sunset dates, updates from working groups on technical issues, and amendments to guidance on organic policies. This meeting will serve as the NOSB's review of substances that have a sunset date in 2015. This review will fulfill the NOSB's responsibilities described in the Organic Foods Production Act's sunset provision (section 2118(e)).

Public Comments: Written public comments will be accepted through Tuesday, October 7, 2014 via www.regulations.gov.

Background

Section 5(f) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA), authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to conduct foreign availability assessments to examine and reevaluate the effectiveness of U.S. dual-use export controls on certain items that are controlled for national security reasons under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has been delegated the responsibility of conducting these assessments and compiling a final report for the Secretary's review and consideration when issuing a final foreign availability determination. Part 768 of the EAR sets forth the procedures related to foreign availability assessments. BIS is publishing this notice to announce the initiation of an assessment and to request public comments on certain aspects of the item under review.

On behalf of the Secretary, BIS has initiated an assessment in response to a foreign availability claim received from the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) industry association. The SEMI claim asserts the foreign availability of anisotropic plasma dry etching equipment in China from Chinese sources. The etching equipment in China is allegedly designed or optimized to produce critical dimensions of 65 nm or less; and within-wafer non-uniformity equal to or less than 10% 3σ measured with an edge exclusion of 2 mm or less.

Items with these capabilities are currently controlled in the U.S. for national security reasons under Export Control Commodity Classification Number (ECCN) 3B001.c on the Commerce Control List (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR). U.S. controls do not allow this item to be exported to China without a license. This type of semiconductor etching equipment is used in the production process of a variety of dual-use semiconductor devices such as flash memories, microwave monolithic integrated circuits, transistors, and analog-to-digital-converters. These devices are suitable for use in a variety of both civil and military applications that include different types of radars, point-to-point radio communications, microprocessors, cellular infrastructure, and satellite communications.

The SEMI claim asserts that anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment of comparable quality to those subject to control under 3B001.c are available-in-fact from Chinese sources in sufficient quantities to render the U.S. export control of the etch equipment ineffective.

BIS has reviewed the SEMI claim and determined that it has sufficient evidence to assess whether or not foreign availability of this etch equipment from Chinese sources exists. Therefore, BIS is initiating a foreign availability assessment of anisotropic plasma dry etching equipment designed or optimized to produce critical dimensions of 65 nm or less; and within-wafer non-uniformity equal to or less than 10% 3σ measured with an edge exclusion of 2 mm or less. Upon completion of the assessment, BIS will submit its findings to the Secretary of Commerce, who in turn will issue a final determination for the Department. The final determination will be published in the Federal Register .

To assist in assessing the foreign availability, described above, of this anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment, BIS is seeking public comments and submissions that relate to the following information:

• Product names and model designations of anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment that are made in China and that are comparable to the U.S. anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment designed or optimized to produce critical dimensions of 65 nm or less; and within-wafer non-uniformity equal to or less than 10% 3σ measured with an edge exclusion of 2 mm or less. (U.S. dry etch equipment);

• names and locations of Chinese companies that produce and export indigenously-produced anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment comparable to U.S. dry etch equipment;

• Chinese production quantities, sales, and/or exports of anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment comparable to U.S. dry etch equipment;

• data on U.S. imports of Chinese anisotropic plasma dry etch equipment comparable to U.S. dry etch equipment, and/or testing and analysis of such dry etch equipment;

• estimates of the economic impact on U.S. companies of the export controls on the U.S. dry etch equipment.

Any tangible evidence to support the above information would also be useful to BIS in its conduct of this assessment. Examples of other useful evidence are found in Supplement No. 1 to Part 768 of the EAR.

All comments may be submitted by any of the methods indicated in this notice. All comments must be in writing (either submitted by email or on paper).

BIS encourages interested persons who wish to comment to do so at the earliest possible time. The period for submission of comments will close on September 23, 2014. BIS will consider all comments received before the close of the comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be considered if possible, but their consideration cannot be assured.

BIS will accept comments or information accompanied by a request that part or all of the material be treated confidentially because of its proprietary nature. The information for which confidential treatment is requested must be submitted to BIS separately from non-confidential information. Each page containing company confidential information must be marked “Confidential Information.” Please be careful to mark only that information that is legitimately company confidential, trade secret, proprietary, or financial information with the “confidential information” designation. BIS will seek to protect such information to the extent permitted by law. If submitted information fails to meet the standards for confidential treatment, BIS will immediately return the information to the submitter.

Information submitted in response to this notice, and not deemed confidential, will be a matter of public record and will be available for public inspection and copying. Comments received in response to this notice will be displayed on BIS's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web site at http://efoia.bis.doc.gov/.

Scope of the Order

The merchandise subject to the order consists of hand trucks manufactured from any material, whether assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, suitable for any use, and certain parts thereof, namely the vertical frame, the handling area and the projecting edges or toe plate, and any combination thereof. They are typically imported under heading 8716.80.50.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), although they may also be imported under heading 8716.80.50.90 and 8716.90.50.60. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice. 2

On April 10, 2014, we received an entry of appearance and certification of no shipments from Shunhe. Also on April 10, 2014, the Department sent an inquiry to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to determine whether CBP entry data is consistent with the no shipments certification from Shunhe. The Department received no information contrary to Shunhe's claim of no shipments. Since Shunhe was part of the PRC-wide entity at the outset of this administrative review, and continues to be part of the PRC-wide entity in this administrative review, we are not making a determination of no shipments with respect to Shunhe for the preliminary results of the instant administrative review.

We have received a timely request for withdrawal of the administrative review request for Full Merit and there is no other review request outstanding for that company. For a company named in the Initiation Notice   3 for which a review request has been withdrawn (in this case, Full Merit), but which has not previously received separate rate status, the Department's practice is to refrain from rescinding the review with respect to that company at this time. While Full Merit's request for review was timely withdrawn, Full Merit remains part of the PRC-wide entity. Although the PRC-wide entity is not under review for these preliminary results, the possibility exists that the PRC-wide entity may be reviewed for the final results of this administrative review. 4 Therefore, we are not rescinding this review with respect to Full Merit at this time. We intend to rescind this review with respect to Full Merit in the final results if the PRC-wide entity does not come under review for the final results of this administrative review.

The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, please see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov and available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

The Department preliminarily determined that the following dumping margin exists for the period December 1, 2012, through November 30, 2013:

The Department intends to disclose to parties to this proceeding the calculations performed in reaching the preliminary results within five days of the date of publication of these preliminary results. 5 Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of the preliminary results. 6 Rebuttals to case briefs may be filed no later than five days after the deadline for filing case briefs and all rebuttal comments must be limited to comments raised in the case briefs. 7 Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 8 Case and rebuttal briefs must be filed electronically via IA ACCESS. 9

Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of publication of this notice. 10 Hearing requests should contain the following information: (1) The party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in the case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the date and time for the hearing to be held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230. 11

The Department intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days after the publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Upon issuing the final results of the review, the Department shall determine, and U.S. CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 12 The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of review. For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we will calculate, where appropriate, either an ad valorem or per-unit assessment rate for each importer (or customer). 13 The per-unit assessment rate will be based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered quantity of those same sales. The ad valorem assessment rate will be based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales.

We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in NME cases. 14 Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate. In addition, if the Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number ( i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate. 15

The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.

The following cash deposit requirements, when imposed, will apply to all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for New-Tec, which has a separate rate, will be the cash deposit rate established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for any previously reviewed or investigated PRC and non-PRC exporter not listed above that received a separate rate in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity ( i.e., 383.60 percent); and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied the non-PRC exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

The merchandise covered by this investigation is certain hot-rolled products of carbon steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately circular cross section, less than 19.00 mm in actual solid cross-sectional diameter. Specifically excluded are steel products possessing the above-noted physical characteristics and meeting the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) definitions for (a) stainless steel; (b) tool steel; (c) high nickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e) concrete reinforcing bars and rods. Also excluded are free cutting steel (also known as free machining steel) products ( i.e., products that contain by weight one or more of the following elements: 0.1 percent or more of lead, 0.05 percent or more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent of phosphorus, more than 0.05 percent of selenium, or more than 0.01 percent of tellurium). All products meeting the physical description of subject merchandise that are not specifically excluded are included in this scope.

The products under investigation are currently classifiable under subheadings 7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093, 7213.91.4500, 7213.91.6000, 7213.99.0030, 7227.20.0030, 7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6010, 7227.90.6020, 7227.90.6030, and 7227.90.6035 of the HTSUS. Products entered under subheadings 7213.99.0090 and 7227.90.6090 of the HTSUS also may be included in this scope if they meet the physical description of subject merchandise above. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.

The Department conducted this investigation in accordance with section 733 of the Act. Because certain companies, including the mandatory respondents, 1 in this investigation did not cooperate to the best of their ability with the Department's requests for information, the Department preliminarily determines that the application of adverse facts available (“AFA”) is warranted for this preliminary determination, in accordance with section 776 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308.

For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see “Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from the People's Republic of China,” from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (“Preliminary Decision Memorandum”), dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (“IA ACCESS”). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it would calculate combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. 2 This practice is described in Policy Bulletin 05.1. 3

The Department preliminarily determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist:

On June 4, 2014, the petitioners  5 filed a timely critical circumstances allegation, pursuant to section 733(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), alleging that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of steel wire rod from the PRC. 6 We preliminarily determine that critical circumstances do not exist for the separate rate companies, 7 but do exist for the PRC-wide entity. A discussion of our determination can be found in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the section, “Critical Circumstances.”

The Department intends to disclose calculations performed for this preliminary determination to the parties within five days after the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance via IA ACCESS no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination notice, and rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, must be submitted via IA ACCESS no later than five days after the deadline for filing case briefs. 8 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, or to participate in a hearing if one is requested, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. An electronically filed request must be submitted via IA ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. 9 Hearing requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants in the hearing; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed at the hearing. If a request for a hearing is made, the Department intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing, two days before the scheduled date.

All documents submitted to IA ACCESS must be received successfully in their entirety by no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the day in which the document is due.

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to suspend liquidation of all entries of steel wire rod from the PRC, as described in the “Scope of Investigation” section, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register .

Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that, given an affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the later of (a) the date which is 90 days before the date on which the suspension of liquidation was first ordered, or (b) the date on which notice of initiation of the investigation was published. As described above, we preliminarily find that critical circumstances exist for imports of steel wire rod from the PRC produced or exported by the PRC-wide entity. Accordingly, for the PRC-wide entity, in accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the suspension of liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date which is 90 days before the publication of this notice.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit  10 for all suspended entries at an ad valorem rate equal to the weighted-average amount by which normal value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through  11 where, as here, the product under investigation is also subject to a concurrent countervailing duty (“CVD”) investigation: (1) For those PRC exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above, the cash deposit rates will be the rates shown in that table; (2) for all combinations of PRC exporters/producers of merchandise under consideration that have not received their own separate rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of merchandise under consideration which have not received their own separate rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate applicable to the PRC exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These suspension of liquidation and cash deposit instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

Furthermore, as stated above and consistent with our practice, we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price or constructed export price, less the amount of the CVD determined to constitute an export subsidy. In this LTFV investigation, we have not adjusted the preliminary cash deposit rates for export subsidies. With respect to the separate rate companies which were not individually investigated, we find that no export-subsidy adjustment to the rates is warranted because these companies are currently subject to the CVD rate calculated for “All Others” in the preliminary determination of the companion CVD investigation, and we did not include any export subsidies in the calculation of that CVD rate. 12 Accordingly, we made no adjustment to the AD cash deposit rate for the separate rate companies. With respect to the PRC-wide entity, we find that no export-subsidy adjustment is warranted, as AFA, because the lowest export subsidy amount included in a CVD rate to which PRC-wide entries are currently subject is zero. Accordingly, we made no adjustment to the AD cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity.

We are not adjusting the preliminary determination rates for estimated domestic subsidy pass through because we have no basis upon which to make such an adjustment. See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the section, “Section 777A(f) of the Act.”

In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, we notified the ITC of our preliminary affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. If our final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after our final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.

This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c).

Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires that we conduct a review of listed species at least once every five years. The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under active review. This notice announces our active review of the southern right whale and sperm whale.

To ensure that the 5-year review is complete and based on the best available scientific and commercial information, we are soliciting new information from the public, governmental agencies, Tribes, the scientific community, industry, environmental entities, and any other interested parties concerning the status of the southern right whale and sperm whale. The 5-year review considers the best scientific and commercial data and all new information that has become available since the listing determination or most recent status review. Categories of requested information include: (1) Species biology including, but not limited to, population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, and genetics; (2) habitat conditions including, but not limited to, amount, distribution, and suitability; (3) conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species; (4) status and trends of threats; and (5) other new information, data, or corrections including, but not limited to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, identification of erroneous information contained in the List, and improved analytical methods.

Section 156 of Title 35, United States Code, generally provides that the term of a patent may be extended for a period of up to five years if the patent claims a product, or a method of making or using a product, that has been subject to certain defined regulatory review, and that the patent may be extended for interim periods of up to one year if the regulatory review is anticipated to extend beyond the expiration date of the patent.

On May 13, 2014, Bracco Suisse SA, the patent owner of record, timely filed an application under 35 U.S.C. § 156(d)(5) for an interim extension of the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,686,060. The patent claims the human drug product LUMASON TM , sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles. The application indicates that Bracco Diagnostics Inc., an affiliate of patent owner Bracco Suisse SA, initially submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) #21-315 to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 21, 2001, and withdrew NDA #21-315 on December 20, 2007. Bracco Diagnostics Inc. submitted a new NDA #203-684 on December 20, 2011. FDA accepted NDA 203-684 for filing on February 19, 2012.

Review of the application indicates that, except for permission to market or use the product commercially, the subject patent would be eligible for an extension of the patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156, and that the patent should be extended for one year as required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). Because the regulatory review period will continue beyond the original expiration date of the patent, November 11, 2014, interim extension of the patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is appropriate.

An interim extension under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,686,060 is granted for a period of one year from the original expiration date of the patent.

The committee meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 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.

Title: FERC-725Y, 1 Mandatory Reliability Standard PER-005-2 (Operations Personnel Training).

OMB Control No.: To Be Determined.

Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC-725Y information collection requirements.

Abstract: Reliability Standard PER-005-2 (Operations Personnel Training Standard) implements the Congressional mandate of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards to better ensure the reliability of the nation's Bulk-Power System. Specifically, the purpose of PER-005-2  2 is to ensure that personnel performing or supporting real-time operations on the Bulk Electric System (BES) are trained using a systematic approach. The Reliability Standard requires entities to maintain records subject to review by the Commission and NERC to ensure compliance with the Reliability Standard.

PER-005-2 contains six Requirements:

• R1 requiring reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, and transmission operators to develop and implement a training program for system operators

• R2 requiring transmission owners to develop and implement a training program for system operators

• R3 requiring reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, transmission operators and transmission owners to verify the capabilities of their identified personnel

• R4 requiring reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, transmission operators and transmission owners to provide those personnel with emergency operations training using simulation technology

• R5 requiring reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, and transmission operators to develop and implement training for their operations support personnel

• R6 requiring applicable generator operators to develop and implement training for certain of their dispatch personnel at a centrally located dispatch center.

Type of Respondents: Reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, transmission operators, transmission owners, and generator owners.

Estimate of Annual Burden   3 : Our estimate below regarding the number of respondents is based on the NERC compliance registry as of April 30, 2014. According to the NERC compliance registry, NERC has registered 15 reliability coordinators, 107 balancing authorities, 182 transmission operators, 337 transmission owners and 848 generator operators. However, under NERC's compliance registration program, entities may be registered for multiple functions, so these numbers incorporate some double counting. The number of unique entities responding will be approximately 387 entities registered as a reliability coordinator, balancing authority, transmission operator, transmission owner, or generator operator.

The Commission estimates the additional annual reporting burden and cost as follows:

Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets .

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking a revision to an existing package with a three year extension. Under ICR 2394.03, EPA collects information regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles.

Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.), EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformity for motor vehicle designs and engines that comply with applicable emission standards set under section 202(a)(1) of the Act, such as those for CO2, N2O, and CH4 in the final regulation. This authority was clarified in the Supreme Court's decision State of Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007) (holding that greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Clean Air Act). Under the statutory authority of 49 U.S.C. 32902, NHTSA is mandated to require manufacturers comply with fuel economy and consumption standards.

The manufacturers regulated under this program must: (1) Submit applications to certify vehicles; (2) submit reports with early estimates to demonstrate their compliance plans; (3) conduct compliance testing; (4) label certified vehicles; (5) provide final year-end-reports with compliance test results; and (6) retain records of information submitted to the agencies. A manufacturer must send an application for a certificate of conformity and gain approval by EPA before it can legally introduce any vehicle or engine into commerce in the U.S. To ensure compliance with the CAA and EISA, EPA and NHTSA will annually review a manufacturer's submitted information and compliance test results. Manufacturer test results will be used by EPA to perform confirmatory testing on a sufficient number of engines and vehicles to confirm manufacturer-reported results. Limited equipment testing and modeling runs will also be performed by NHTSA to confirm manufacturer test results.

EPA's emission certification programs and NHTSA's fuel efficiency programs are statutorily mandated. EPA does not have discretion to cease these functions. Specifically, under Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521).

EPA and NHTSA also are establishing an Average, Banking and Trading (ABT) program, as outlined in 40 CFR 1036.701 and 1037.701, and in 49 CFR 535.7. Engine and vehicle manufacturers covered by this HD National Program have an option to participate in this ABT program. The agencies' ABT programs, and others like it, are designed to enhance compliance flexibility and reduce the burden on affected manufacturers, without compromising the expected emissions benefits derived from EPA's emissions standards and NHTSA's fuel consumption standards.

The information requested is collected by the Diesel Engine Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, EPA. DECC uses this information to ensure that manufacturers are in compliance with applicable regulations and the CAA. The information may also be used by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice for enforcement purposes. Most of the information is collected in electronic format and stored in CD's databases.

Manufacturers are allowed to assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2. Non-confidential information may be disclosed on OTAQ's Web site or upon request under the Freedom of Information Act to trade associations, environmental groups, and the public.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are manufacturers of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles; owners of heavy-duty truck fleets.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Engine manufacturers must respond to this collection if they wish to sell their products in the US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521). Participation in ABT is voluntary, but once a manufacturer has elected to participate, it must submit the required notifications and annual reports (40 CFR 1036.730 and 1037.730). If applicable to a particular engine family, compliance programs reporting is mandatory.

Estimated number of respondents: 34 (total).

Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion, depending on the type of response.

Total estimated burden: 41,305 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $4,565,145 (per year), includes $1,458,333 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total estimated burden for ICR 2394.03 from the burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

Two sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) govern the establishment and revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 U.S.C. 7408) directs the Administrator to identify and list certain air pollutants and then to issue air quality criteria for those pollutants. The Administrator is to list those air pollutants that in her “judgment, cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare;” “the presence of which in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or stationary sources;” and “for which . . . [the Administrator] plans to issue air quality criteria . . .” Air quality criteria are intended to “accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air . . .” 42 U.S.C. 7408(b). Under section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA establishes primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for pollutants for which air quality criteria are issued. Section 109(d) requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria. The EPA is also required to periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS based on the revised criteria. Section 109(d)(2) requires that an independent scientific review committee “shall complete a review of the criteria . . . and the national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards . . . and shall recommend to the Administrator any new . . . standards and revisions of existing criteria and standards as may be appropriate . . .” Since the early 1980's, this independent review function has been performed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the NAAQS for O 3 . The PA, HREA, and WREA build upon information presented in the Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone  1 prepared for this review by the EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD). Drafts of the PA, HREA, and WREA were reviewed by CASAC, and were commented upon by members of the public, at public meetings held on September 11-13, 2012, and March 25-27, 2014. The CASAC issued final reports on the second drafts of these documents on June 18, 2014 (WREA), June 26, 2014 (PA), and July 1, 2014 (HREA). The final versions of the PA, HREA, and WREA reflect staff's consideration of the comments and recommendations made by CASAC, as well as comments made by members of the public, in its review of the draft versions of these documents. The final PA, HREA, and WREA are available through the Agency's Technology Transfer Network (TTN) Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/ozone/s_o3_index.html.

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club seeking to compel the Administrator to take action under CAA sections 110(c)(1)(A). Under the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA would agree to sign a notice by no later than November 7, 2014, to promulgate a FIP for Montana's PSD program that addresses nitrogen oxides as an ozone precursor. The consent decree further provides that EPA shall have complied with this obligation if EPA signs by the same date a notice or notices collectively satisfying the PSD requirements in CAA section 110(a)(2)(C) and (J) for the 1997 ozone NAAQS, including unconditionally approving a state implementation plan (“SIP”) or promulgating a partial FIP and unconditionally approving a partial SIP.

Under the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA will deliver notice of the action to the Office of the Federal Register for review and publication within 15 business days of signature. In addition, the proposed consent decree outlines the procedure for the Plaintiff to request costs of litigation, including attorney fees.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed consent decree from persons who are not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be withdrawn or withheld, the terms of the consent decree will be affirmed.

The official public docket for this action (identified by EPA-HQ-OGC-2014-0627) contains a copy of the proposed consent decree. The official public docket is available for public viewing at the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-1752.

An electronic version of the public docket is available on the internet (online) through the Web site www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the official public docket, and access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select “search”.

It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, confidential business information (CBI), or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not included in the official public docket or in the electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket Center.

You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments.

If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The electronic public docket system is an “anonymous access” system, which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail (email) system is not an “anonymous access” system. If you send an email comment directly to the Docket without going through www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

Parts of this meeting of the Board will be open to the public (limited space available), and parts will be closed to the public. Please send an email to VisitorRequest@FCA.gov at least 24 hours before the meeting. In your email include: Name, postal address, entity you are representing (if applicable), and telephone number.

Proposal to renew the following currently-approved collection of information:

Title: Account Based Disclosures in Connection with Federal Reserve Regulations E, CC, and DD.

OMB Number: 3064-0084.

Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.

Estimated Annual Burden Hours:

Total Estimated Burden Hours: 3,461,844 hours.

General Description of Collection: The FDIC's OMB-approved collection provides for the application of the information collection requirements of three FRB rules to state nonmember banks. The three rules are:

• Regulation E (“Electronic Fund Transfers,” 12 CFR part 205);

• Regulation CC (“Availability of Funds,” 12 CFR part 229); and

• Regulation DD (“Truth in Savings,” 12 CFR part 230).

Generally, the Regulation E disclosures are designed to ensure consumers receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided to them so that they can make informed decisions. Like Regulation E, Regulation CC has consumer protection disclosure requirements. Specifically, Regulation CC requires depository institutions to make funds deposited in transaction accounts available within specified time periods, disclose their availability policies to customers, and begin accruing interest on such deposits promptly.

Regulation DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure requirements that are intended to assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of fees, the annual percentage yield, and other account terms. Regulation DD requires depository institutions to disclose yields, fees, and other terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at account opening, upon request, and when changes in terms occur.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collections, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments will become a matter of public record.

Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 4321-4347; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, chapter V, parts 1500-1508); GSA Order ADM 1095.1F (Environmental considerations in decision-making, dated October 19, 1999); and the GSA Public Buildings Service NEPA Desk Guide, dated October 1999, GSA plans to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed FBI HQ Consolidation to guide the evaluation of alternatives for a new permanent location for the FBI HQ. GSA also will be initiating related consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f) and 470(h-2), 36 CFR Part 800 (Protection of Historic Properties) for the project.

GSA intends to prepare an EIS to analyze the potential impacts resulting from the proposed action, which encompasses two parts: (1) Acquisition of a consolidated FBI HQ at a new permanent location; and (2) exchange of the J. Edgar Hoover (JEH) Building parcel.

The purpose of the proposed action is to: (1) Consolidate the existing FBI HQ offices and divisions into one location in the greater Washington DC area; and (2) provide the FBI with a headquarters facility that meets the Interagency Security Council (ISC) Level V security standards. This standard is reserved for agencies with mission functions critical to national security or continuation of government.

A consolidated FBI HQ is needed to support information sharing, collaboration, and integration of strategic priorities. Currently, the aging JEH Building houses only 52 percent of headquarters staff with the remainder dispersed over multiple locations in the National Capital Region. Fragmentation resulting from FBI HQ's multiple locations diverts time and resources from investigations, hampers coordination and collaboration, and decreases flexibility. Dispersion across multiple locations also gives rise to redundancy in operations and inefficient use of space. The consolidation is needed to eliminate redundancies and provide for significant space savings.

The proposed action is needed to provide a FBI HQ that meets the Level V ISC security standard. Currently, FBI HQ elements are housed in the JEH Building and multiple locations in the greater Washington, DC area that do not meet the Level V ISC security standard. Additionally, the FBI needs a facility that supports the mission of the agency and allows the agency to defend against terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, and other threats. As an integral agency for the management of intelligence and national security programs, the FBI needs a HQ facility that provides highly reliable utilities and infrastructure.

GSA is the lead agency for the FBI HQ consolidation and exchange of JEH, and associated NEPA and NHPA compliance. FBI is a cooperating agency for NEPA and a signatory consulting party for NHPA.

The new FBI HQ would be built by a developer, on one of the acceptable sites identified by GSA and FBI through a site selection process that concluded with an announcement of short listed sites on July 29, 2014. Following construction of the new FBI HQ and acceptance of the FBI HQ by GSA, title to JEH will be transferred to the developer to offset the cost of the new FBI HQ.

As part of the EIS, GSA will study the impacts of developing an up to 2.1 million rentable square feet consolidated FBI HQ on three site alternatives. These sites are:

• Greenbelt—this site is known as the Greenbelt Metro Station located near the intersection of Interstates 95/495 and Greenbelt Station (exit 24) in Prince George's County, Maryland.

• Landover—this site is known as the former Landover Mall located along Brightseat Road near the intersection of Interstates 95/495 (exit 17) and Landover Road (MD 202) in Prince George's County, Maryland.

• Springfield—this site is known as the GSA Franconia Warehouse Complex located along Loisdale Road just south of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway overpass and east of Interstate 95 in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Additionally, GSA will study potential impacts related to the exchange of the JEH parcel. GSA also will evaluate a “No Action Alternative”, in which FBI would remain in the current locations without consolidation at a new permanent location.

Resource areas to be addressed in the EIS will include, but not be limited to: Air quality, noise, land use, socioeconomics, traffic and transportation, infrastructure and community services, natural resources, biological resources, cultural resources, and safety and environmental hazards. The analysis will evaluate direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts. Relevant and reasonable measures that could avoid or mitigate environmental effects will also be analyzed. In conjunction with the NEPA process, GSA will undertake any consultations required by applicable laws or regulations, including NHPA.

In accordance with NEPA, a scoping process will be conducted to: (1) Aid in determining the alternatives to be considered and the scope of issues to be addressed; and (2) identify the significant environmental issues related to the proposed FBI HQ consolidation that should be addressed during the preparation of the Draft EIS. Scoping will be accomplished through a series of public scoping meetings; mail and email correspondence to potentially interested persons, agencies, and organizations; social media and other web-based communications; and meetings with agencies having an interest in the FBI HQ consolidation. GSA is also using the NEPA scoping process to facilitate consultation with the public under Section 106 of the NHPA (36 CFR Part 800). GSA welcomes comments from the public to ensure that the agency takes into account the effects of the proposed action on historic and cultural resources.

GSA will publish announcement notices in the Washington Post, Washington Business Journal, Springfield Connection, Greenbelt Patch, and Hyattsville Patch approximately one to two weeks prior to the public scoping meetings. After receiving scoping comments, GSA will respond to them in the EIS and through the Section 106 consultation process. GSA will make available to the public a comment/response matrix summarizing the scoping and Section 106 comments in the Draft and Final EIS.

Written Comments: Agencies and the public are encouraged to provide written comments on the scoping issues related to the EIS for the proposed FBI HQ consolidation in addition to, or in lieu of, providing comments at the public scoping meeting. Written comments must be postmarked no later than October 23, 2014, and sent to the General Services Administration, Attention: Nia Francis, Project Manager, 301 7th Street SW., Room 4004, Washington, DC 20407. Email: fbiheadquarters@gsa.gov using the subject line: NEPA Scoping Comment.

The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 101-503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the manner in which computer matching involving Federal agencies could be performed and adding certain protections for individuals applying for and receiving Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) further amended the Privacy Act regarding protections for such individuals. The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching by Federal agencies when records in a system of records (SOR) are matched with other Federal, state, or local government records. It requires Federal agencies involved in computer matching programs to:

1. Negotiate written agreements with the other agencies participating in the matching programs;

2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board approval of the match agreements;

3. Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress and OMB;

4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries that the records are subject to matching; and,

5. Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, terminating, or denying an individual's benefits or payments.

This matching program meets the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.

Information Collection Request Title: Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network

OMB No.: 0915-0157—Revision

Abstract: Section 372 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act requires that the Secretary, by contract, provide for the establishment and operation of an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). This is a request for revisions to current OPTN data collection forms associated with donor organ procurement and an individual's clinical characteristics at the time of registration, transplant, and follow-up after the transplant. Data for the OPTN data system are collected from transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and tissue-typing laboratories. The information is used to indicate the disease severity of transplant candidates, to monitor compliance of member organizations with OPTN rules and requirements, and to report periodically on the clinical and scientific status of organ donation and transplantation in this country. Data are used to develop transplant, donation, and allocation policies, to determine whether institutional members are complying with policy, to determine member-specific performance, to ensure patient safety and to fulfill the requirements of the OPTN Final Rule. The practical utility of the data collection is further enhanced by requirements that the OPTN data must be made available, consistent with applicable laws, for use by OPTN members, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, the Department of Health and Human Services, and members of the public for evaluation, research, patient information, and other important purposes.

Likely Respondents: Transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, histocompatibility laboratories, medical and scientific organizations, and public organizations.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to: review instructions; develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; train personnel to respond to a request for collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this Information Collection Request are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

The BIA is seeking to revise the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part 23, related to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). BIA collects information using a consolidated caseload form, which tribal ICWA program directors fill out. BIA uses the information to determine the extent of service needs in local Indian communities, assess ICWA program effectiveness, and provide date for the annual program budget justification. The aggregated report is not considered confidential. A response is required to obtain and/or retain a benefit.

The revision includes changes to the existing form, reducing which is now, Part A—Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) Data, and adds a new section, Part B—Tribal Child Abuse Neglect Data. Part A—ICWA Data has been simplified, including fewer categories that were no longer considered useful for planning purposes, based on feedback received from BIA Regional staff. Part B—Tribal Child Abuse and Neglect Data is a new section. Part B only applies to tribes that operate child protection programs.

A copy of the forms will be made available on the Web site at http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/BIA/OIS/HumanServices/index.htm for review and comment. We estimate the hourly burden for Part A—ICWA Data will be reduced, from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, and when applicable, Part B—Tribal Child Abuse and Neglect Data is estimated to take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

The BIA requests your comments on this collection concerning: (a) The necessity of this information collection for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways we could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways we could minimize the burden of the collection of the information on the respondents.

Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it has a valid OMB Control Number.

It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before including your address, phone number, email address or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

OMB Control Number: 1076-0131.

Title: Indian Child Welfare Quarterly and Annual Report, 25 CFR part 23.

Brief Description of Collection: The BIA is seeking to revise the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part 23, related to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The revisions includes changing the name of the collection (previously identified as Indian Child Welfare Assistance Report, 25 CFR part 83) to “Indian Child Welfare Quarterly and Annual Report.” BIA simplified the previous form, which is now Part A—Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) Data.

This document provides notice that the BLM District Office, Medford, Oregon intends to prepare an RMP amendment with an associated EA for the Medford RMP, announces the beginning of the scoping process, and seeks public input on issues and planning criteria. The planning area is located in Jackson County, Oregon and encompasses approximately 13,556 acres, including 2,327 acres of BLM land, 589 acres of land managed by State and local government agencies, 1,741 acres owned by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), 795 acres of TNC Easement on private lands, and 8,104 acres of other private land. The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including alternatives, and guide the planning process. Preliminary issues for the plan amendment area have been identified by BLM personnel; Federal, State, and local agencies; and other stakeholders. The issues include: Incorporating acquired parcels and potential future acquisitions into the Table Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to help disperse recreation use and reduce impacts to sensitive resources; identifying long-term management needed to protect and enhance the unique historical, cultural, and natural features for which the Table Rocks ACEC and Outstanding Natural Area (ONA) were designated including state and federally threatened species; potentially removing a 0.9 acre graveled parcel used for overflow parking that does not contain ACEC resources from ACEC and ONA management; identifying opportunities to apply hierarchical mitigation strategies for on-site, regional, and compensatory mitigation strategies; and identifying areas appropriate to apply landscape-level conservation and management actions to achieve regional mitigation objectives.

Preliminary planning criteria include:

1. The BLM will complete the plan amendment in compliance with Federal Land Policy Management Area (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. ), NEPA, and other applicable laws and regulations.

2. Lands addressed in this amendment will be public lands managed by the BLM. No decisions will apply to lands the BLM does not manage.

3. Where existing resource management planning decisions are still valid, those decisions will remain unchanged and will be incorporated into the Table Rocks RMP amendment.

4. The plan amendment will recognize valid existing rights.

5. The BLM will use a collaborative and multi-jurisdictional approach, when practical, to determine the desired future condition of these public lands.

6. The BLM will strive to make land use plan decisions compatible with existing plans and policies of adjacent local, state, and Federal agencies.

7. The BLM will ensure that land use plan decisions are consistent with other applicable laws and regulations governing the administration of public land.

You may submit comments on issues and planning criteria in writing to the BLM at any public scoping meeting, or you may submit them to the BLM using one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section above. To be most helpful, you should submit comments by the close of the 30-day scoping period or within 30 days after the last public meeting, whichever is later.

The BLM will use the NEPA public participation requirements to assist the agency in satisfying the public involvement requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources in the context of both NEPA and Section 106 of the NHPA.

The BLM will consult with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed action that the BLM is evaluating, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request of, or be requested by, the BLM to participate in the development of the environmental analysis as a cooperating agency.

The minutes and list of attendees for each scoping meeting will be available to the public and open for 30 days after the meeting to any participant who wishes to clarify the views he or she expressed. The BLM will evaluate identified issues to be addressed in the plan, and will place them into one of three categories:

1. Issues to be resolved in the plan amendment;

2. Issues to be resolved through policy or administrative action; or

3. Issues beyond the scope of this plan amendment.

The BLM will provide an explanation in the Draft RMP Amendment/EA as to why an issue was placed in category two or three. The public is also encouraged to help identify any management questions and concerns that should be addressed in the plan. The BLM will work collaboratively with interested parties to identify the management decisions that are best suited to local, regional, and national needs and concerns.

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

The BLM will use an interdisciplinary approach to develop the plan amendment in order to consider the variety of resource issues and concerns identified. Specialists with expertise in the following disciplines will be involved in the planning process: Botany, cultural resources, fisheries, wildlife, geographic information systems, recreation management, and the National Environmental Policy Act.

All DAC meetings are open to the public. Public comment for items not on the agenda will be scheduled at the beginning of the meeting Saturday morning. Time for public comment may be made available by the council chairman during the presentation of various agenda items, and is scheduled at the end of the meeting for topics not on the agenda.

While the Saturday meeting is tentatively scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the meeting could conclude prior to 4:30 p.m. should the council conclude its presentations and discussions. Therefore, members of the public interested in a particular agenda item or discussion should schedule their arrival accordingly.

Written comments may be filed in advance of the meeting for the California Desert District Advisory Council, c/o Bureau of Land Management, External Affairs, 22835 Calle San Juan de Los Lagos, Moreno Valley, CA 92553. Written comments also are accepted at the time of the meeting and, if copies are provided to the recorder, will be incorporated into the minutes.

This 10-member RAC advises the Secretary of the Interior on a variety of management issues associated with public land management in Wyoming. Planned agenda topics include discussions on regional mitigation, defining pre-decisional information and cooperating agency responsibilities; implementation of the Lander Resource Management Plan Record of Decision and follow-up to previous RAC meetings. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, the meeting will begin at 1 p.m., at the NHTIC conference room. On Thursday, Sept. 25, there will be site visits of Land and Water Conservation Fund projects and acquisitions, historic trails, and the Pathfinder Ranch (Sweetwater River Conservancy Habitat Conservation Bank). The public is invited to attend, but must provide their own transportation. The site visit will leave from the Quality Inn and Suites Hotel at 8 a.m. The meeting will resume at the NHTIC conference room at noon with a working lunch. Food will not be provided for the public. On Friday, Sept. 26, the meeting will begin at 8 a.m. at the NHTIC conference room. All RAC meetings are open to the public with time allocated for hearing public comments. On Friday, Sept. 26, there will be a public comment period beginning at 8 a.m. The public may also submit written comments to the RAC by emailing cvenhuizen@blm.gov or by submitting them at the meeting location to the RAC coordinator. Depending on the number of persons wishing to comment and time available, the time for individual oral comments may be limited. If there are no members of the public interested in speaking, the meeting will move promptly to the next agenda item.

OMB Control Number: 1010-0082.

Title: 30 CFR part 581, Leasing of Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur in the Outer Continental Shelf.

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (Act), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1337), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to grant to the qualified persons, offering the highest cash bonuses on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur. This applies to any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions that the Secretary may prescribe at the time of the lease offer. The Secretary is to administer the leasing provisions of the Act and prescribe the rules and regulations necessary to carry out those provisions.

Regulations at 30 CFR part 581 implement these statutory requirements. There has been no leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, or sulphur for many years; however, because these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection.

BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 581 to determine if statutory requirements are met prior to the issuance of a lease. Specifically, BOEM will use the information to:

• Evaluate the area and minerals requested by the lessee to assess the viability of offering leases for sale and ensure the Federal Government receives fair market value for the mineral(s);

• Request the State(s) to initiate the establishment of a joint group to assess the proposed action;

• Ensure excessive overriding royalty interests are not created that would put economic constraints on all parties involved;

• Document that a leasehold or geographical subdivision has been surrendered by the record title holder; and

• Determine if activities on the proposed lease area(s) will have a significant impact on the environment.

We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR Parts 580 and 582. No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory or required to obtain a benefit.

Frequency: On occasion.

Description of Respondents: As there are no active respondents, we estimate the potential annual number of respondents to be one. Potential respondents are OCS lease requestors, State governments, and OCS lessees.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect the annual reporting burden for this renewal to be 1,264 hours. The following table details the individual components and respective hour burden estimates of this ICR. In calculating the burdens, we assumed that respondents perform certain requirements in the normal course of their activities. We consider these to be usual and customary and took that into account in estimating the burden.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping “Non-Hour Cost” Burden: We have identified one non-hour cost burden for this collection, a $50 filing fee for required or non- required documents under 30 CFR 581.41.

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. ) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond.

Comments: We invite comments concerning this information collection on:

• Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;

• The accuracy of our burden estimates;

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

• Ways to minimize the burden on respondents.

To comply with the public consultation process, on April 17, 2014, BOEM published a Federal Register notice (79 FR 21806) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. This notice provided the required 60-day comment period. We received no comments.

Public Availability of Comments: Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides that if the Commission finds a violation it shall exclude the articles concerned from the United States:

The Commission is interested in further development of the record on the public interest in these investigations. Accordingly, members of the public are invited to file submissions of no more than five (5) pages, inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in light of the administrative law judge's Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding issued in this investigation on August 29, 2014.

Overview of this Information Collection 1123-0011:

1  Type of Information Collection: Extension with changes, of the Department of Justice Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification, a previously approved collection for which approval will expire on September 30, 2014.

2  The Title of the Form/Collection: Department of Justice Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification.

3  The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: There is not an agency form number. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, in the Criminal Division.

4  Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:

The Attorney General is required by statute to “assure that any property transferred to a State or local law enforcement agency . . . will serve to encourage further cooperation between the recipient State or local agency and Federal law enforcement agencies.” 21 U.S.C. 881(e)(3). The Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section (AFMLS) ensures such cooperation by requiring that all such “equitably shared” funds be used only for law enforcement purposes and not be distributed to other governmental agencies by the recipient law enforcement agencies. By requiring that law enforcement agencies that participate in the Equitable Sharing Program (Program) file an Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification (ESAC), AFMLS can readily ensure compliance with its statutory obligations.

The ESAC requires information regarding the receipt and expenditure of Program funds from the participating agency. Accordingly, it seeks information that is exclusively in the hands of the participating agency.

5  An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 7,600 state and local law enforcement agencies electronically file the ESAC annually with AFMLS. It is estimated that it takes 30 minutes per year to enter the information. All of the approximately 7,600 agencies must fully complete the form each year to maintain compliance and continue participation in the Department of Justice Equitable Sharing Program.

6  An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this collection is 3,800 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 30 minutes to complete the form. (7,600 participants × 30 minutes = 3,800 hours).

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) implements and enforces titles II and III of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, as amended. Titles II and III are referred to as the “Controlled Substances Act” and the “Controlled Substances Import and Export Act,” respectively, and are collectively referred to as the “Controlled Substances Act” or the “CSA” for the purpose of this action. 21 U.S.C. 801-971. The DEA publishes the implementing regulations for these statutes in title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 1300 to 1321. The CSA and its implementing regulations are designed to prevent, detect, and eliminate the diversion of controlled substances and listed chemicals into the illicit market while providing for the legitimate medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States. Controlled substances have the potential for abuse and dependence and are controlled to protect the public health and safety.

Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) requires the Attorney General to establish aggregate production quotas for each basic class of controlled substance listed in schedules I and II and for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. This responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator of the DEA through 28 CFR 0.100(b). The Administrator, in turn, has redelegated this function to the Deputy Administrator, pursuant to 28 CFR pt. 0 subpt. R, App.

The 2015 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs represent those quantities of schedule I and II controlled substances and the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine to be manufactured in the United States in 2015 to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States, lawful export requirements, and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. These quotas include imports of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine but do not include imports of controlled substances for use in industrial processes.

On July 2, 2014, a notice titled, “Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas for Schedule I and II Controlled Substances and Proposed Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I Chemicals Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine for 2015” was published in the Federal Register . 79 FR 37772. This notice proposed the 2015 aggregate production quotas for each basic class of controlled substance listed in schedules I and II and the 2015 assessment of annual needs for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to the proposed aggregate production quotas and the proposed assessment of annual needs on or before August 1, 2014.

Five comments were received from DEA-registered manufacturers within the published comment period, offering comments on a total of 32 schedule I and II controlled substances. None of the respondents commented on the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. Commenters stated that the proposed aggregate production quotas for 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino) butan-1-one (butylone), 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino) pentan-1-one (pentylone), 2-(4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25B-NBOMe), 2-(4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25C-NBOMe), 2-(4-Iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25I-NBOMe), 2-(Methylamino)-1-phenylpentan-1-one (pentedrone), 3-Fluoro- N -methylcathinone (3-FMC), 4-Fluoro- N -methylcathinone (4-FMC), 4-Anilino- N -phenethyl-4-piperidine (ANPP), 4-Methyl- N -ethylcathinone (4-MEC), 4-Methyl- α -pyrrolidinopropiophenone (4-MePPP), alpha -Pyrrolidinobutiophenone (α-PBP), alpha -Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP), amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for sale), dihydrocodeine, diphenoxylate, fentanyl, hydrocodone (for sale), hydromorphone, levorphanol, marihuana, morphine (for conversion), N -(1-Amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1 H -indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-PINACA), N -(1-Amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1 H -indazole-3-carboxamide (AB-FUBINACA), naphthylpyrovalerone (naphyrone), oripavine, oxycodone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale), Quinolin-8-yl 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1 H -indole-3-carboxylate (5-Flouro-PB-22), and Quinolin-8-yl 1-pentyl-1 H -indole-3-carboxylate (PB-22) were insufficient to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States, export requirements, and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks.

In determining the 2015 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs, the DEA has taken into consideration the above comments along with the factors set forth at 21 CFR 1303.11 and 21 CFR 1315.11, in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826 (a), and other relevant factors, including the consideration of 2014 manufacturing quotas, current 2014 sales and inventories, 2015 export requirements, industrial use, additional applications for quotas, as well as information on research and product development requirements. Based on this information, the DEA has determined that adjustments to the proposed aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs for alfentanil, cocaine, codeine-N-oxide, codeine (for sale), dihydrocodeine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, levorphanol, marihuana, oripavine, oxymorphone (for conversion), and ephedrine (for sale) are warranted. This notice reflects those adjustments.

Regarding 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino)butan-1-one (butylone), 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino)pentan-1-one (pentylone), 2-(4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25B-NBOMe), 2-(4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25C-NBOMe), 2-(4-Iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- N -(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25I-NBOMe), 2-(Methylamino)-1-phenylpentan-1-one (pentedrone), 3-Fluoro- N -methylcathinone (3-FMC), 4-Fluoro- N -methylcathinone (4-FMC), 4-Anilino- N -phenethyl-4-piperidine (ANPP), 4-Methyl- N -ethylcathinone (4-MEC), 4-Methyl- α -pyrrolidinopropiophenone (4-MePPP), alpha -Pyrrolidinobutiophenone (α-PBP), alpha -Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP), amphetamine (for sale), dihydrocodeine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, levorphanol, marihuana, N -(1-Amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1 H -indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-PINACA), N -(1-Amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1 H -indazole-3-carboxamide (AB-FUBINACA), naphthylpyrovalerone (naphyrone), oxycodone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale), Quinolin-8-yl 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1 H -indole-3-carboxylate (5-Flouro-PB-22), and Quinolin-8-yl 1-pentyl-1 H -indole-3-carboxylate (PB-22), the DEA has determined that the proposed aggregate production quotas are sufficient to provide for the 2015 estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States, export requirements, and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. This notice finalizes these aggregate production quotas at the same amounts as proposed.

As described in the previously published notice proposing the 2015 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs, the DEA has specifically considered that inventory allowances granted to individual manufacturers may not always result in the availability of sufficient quantities to maintain an adequate reserve stock pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 826(a), as intended. See 21 CFR 1303.24. This would be concerning if a natural disaster or other unforeseen event resulted in substantial disruption to the amount of controlled substances available to provide for legitimate public need. As such, the DEA has included in all established schedule II aggregate production quotas, and certain schedule I aggregate production quotas, an additional 25% of the estimated medical, scientific, and research needs as part of the amount necessary to ensure the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. The resulting established aggregate production quota will reflect these included amounts. This action will not affect the ability of manufacturers to maintain inventory allowances as specified by regulation. The DEA expects that maintaining this reserve in certain established aggregate production quotas will mitigate adverse public effects if an unforeseen event results in the substantial disruption to the amount of controlled substances available to provide for legitimate public need, as determined by the DEA. The DEA does not anticipate utilizing the reserve in the absence of these circumstances.

In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826, 21 CFR 1303.11, and 21 CFR 1315.11, the Deputy Administrator hereby establishes the 2015 aggregate production quotas for the following schedule I and II controlled substances and the 2015 assessment of annual needs for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, as follows:

The Deputy Administrator also establishes aggregate production quotas for all other schedule I and II controlled substances included in 21 CFR 1308.11 and 1308.12 at zero. In accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13 and 21 CFR 1315.13, upon consideration of the relevant factors, the Deputy Administrator may adjust the 2015 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs as needed.
