ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal. DATES: *Comments due date:* May 30, 2006. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding this proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended). This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to:

(1)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;

(2)evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information;

(3)enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; *e.g.* , permitting electronic submission of responses. This Notice also lists the following information: *Title of Proposal:* Public Housing Financial Management Template. *OMB Control Number:* 2535-0107. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use:* To meet the requirements of the Public Housing Assessment System

ACTION: Notice of review. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 5-year review of gray bat ( *Myotis grisecens* ), Iowa Pleistocene snail ( *Discus macclintocki* ), decurrent false aster ( *Boltonia decurrens* ), Pitcher's thistle ( *Cirsium pitcheri* ), and western prairie fringed orchid ( *Platanthera praeclara* ) under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973

(Act)(16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). We request any information on the aforementioned species since their original listings that has a bearing on their classification as threatened or endangered. A 5-year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the classification of a listed species is appropriate. It is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We will make a finding of whether these species are properly classified under section 4(c)(2)(B) of the Act, based on the results of these 5-year reviews. DATES: Information must be received no later than May 30, 2006. ADDRESSES: Submit information to the appropriate U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office.

(List)at 50 CFR 17.11 and 17.12. Amendments to the List through final rules are published in the **Federal Register** . The Lists of wildlife and plants are available on our Internet site at *http://www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife/html#species.* Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed species at least once every five years. Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that we determine

(1)Whether a species no longer meets the definition of threatened or endangered and should be removed from the List (delisted);

(2)whether a species more properly meets the definition of threatened and should be reclassified from endangered to threatened; or

(3)whether a species more properly meets the definition of endangered and should be reclassified from threatened to endangered. Using the best scientific and commercial data available, a species will be considered for delisting if the data substantiates that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the following reasons:

(1)The species is considered extinct;

(2)the species is considered to be recovered; and/or

(3)the original data available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification requires a separate rulemaking process. 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 gray bat, Iowa Pleistocene snail, decurrent false aster, Pitcher's thistle, and western prairie fringed orchid. Table 1 provides a summary of the listing information for the species under active review.

TA-131-33 and TA-2104-22] U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement: Advice Concerning the Probable Economic Effect of Providing Duty-Free Treatment for Imports AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission. ACTION: Institution of investigations and scheduling of public hearing. DATES: *Effective Date:* March 24, 2006. SUMMARY: Following receipt on March 17, 2006, of a request from the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the Commission instituted investigation Nos. TA-131-033 and TA-2104-022, *U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement: Advice Concerning the Probable Economic Effect of Providing Duty-Free Treatment for Imports* , under section 131 of the Trade Act of 1974 and section 2104(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information specific to these investigations may be obtained from Heidi Colby-Oizumi, Project Leader (202-205-3391; *heidi.colby@usitc.gov* ), Office of Industries, or James Fetzer, Deputy Project Leader (202-708-5403; *james.fetzer@usitc.gov* ), Office of Economics, United States International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, 20436. For information on the legal aspects of these investigations, contact William Gearhart of the Office of the General Counsel (202-205-3091; *william.gearhart@usitc.gov* ). General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its internet server ( *http://www.usitc.gov* ). Background On March 8, 2006, the USTR notified the Congress of the President's intent to enter into negotiations for a free trade agreement with Malaysia. Accordingly, the USTR, pursuant to section 131 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2151), requested the Commission to provide a report including advice as to the probable economic effect of providing duty-free treatment for imports of products of Malaysia

(i)on industries in the United States producing like or directly competitive products, and

(ii)on consumers. In preparing the advice, the Commission's analysis will consider each article in chapters 1 through 97 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States for which U.S. tariffs will remain after the United States fully implements its Uruguay Round tariff commitments. The import advice will be based on the 2006 Harmonized Tariff System nomenclature and 2005 trade data. The advice with respect to the removal of U.S. duties on imports from Malaysia will assume that any known U.S. nontariff barrier will not be applicable to such imports. The Commission will note in its report any instance in which the continued application of a U.S. nontariff barrier to such imports would result in different advice with respect to the effect of the removal of the duty. As also requested, pursuant to section 2104(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 3804(b)(2)), the Commission will provide advice as to the probable economic effect of eliminating tariffs on imports of certain agricultural products of Malaysia on

(i)industries in the United States producing the product concerned, and

(ii)the U.S. economy as a whole. The Commission expects to provide its report to USTR by June 30, 2006. USTR indicated that those sections of the Commission's report that relate to the analysis of probable economic effects will be classified.

Complaint filed Oct. 19, 1954). The United States made several allegations in its complaint. It charged that certain Swiss and U.S. manufacturers and sellers of Swiss watches and watch parts engaged in a conspiracy “to restrict, eliminate and discourage the manufacture of watches and watch parts in the United States, and to restrain United States imports and exports of watches and watch parts for manufacturing and repair purposes.” Id. The United States also charged that these companies agreed to fix minimum pieces for watches and maximum prices for repair parts, regulate the use and distribution of watches and repair parts, and boycott those who violated these restrictions. Id. The conspiracy came about through the adoption and enforcement of an agreement known as the Collective Convention of the Swiss Watch Industry. “The purpose of the Collection Convention was to protect, develop and stabilize the Swiss watch industry and to impede the growth of competitive watch industries outside of Switzerland.” *United States* v. *The Watchmakers of Switzerland Information Center, Inc.* , 1963-1 Trade Cas.
