Once in the system, select “search,” then key in the docket ID number identified in this document. What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested in? Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES. 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to? *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are facilities that manufacture chlorine and/or chlorinated hydrocarbon products. *Title:* Draft Questionnaire for the Chlorine and Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Point Source Categories. *ICR number:* EPA ICR No. 2214.01, OMB Control No. 2006-OW-NEW. *ICR status:* This ICR is for a new information collection activity. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers associated with EPA's regulations found in title 40 of the CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Upon OMB approval, control numbers are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. *Abstract:* The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)is conducting a census of facilities that manufacture chlorine and/or certain chlorinated hydrocarbons

(CCH)as part of its effort to review the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for these operations. EPA is considering revision of the Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Point Source Category regulations at 40 CFR part 414 for facilities that manufacture ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, polyvinyl chloride and other chlorinated hydrocarbons. EPA is also considering revision of the Inorganic Chemicals Point Source Category regulations at 40 CFR part 415 for facilities that manufacture chlorine as well as chlorine manufacturers not regulated under 40 CFR part 415. The questionnaire seeks information on

(1)technical data, including general facility information, manufacturing process information, wastewater treatment and characterization information, and information on sampling data; and

(2)financial and economic data, including ownership information, facility/company information, and corporate parent financial information. The technical data will be used to determine the industry production rates, water use for processes, rates of wastewater generation, pollution prevention, and the practices of wastewater management, treatment, and disposal. The financial and economic data will be used to characterize the economic status of the industry and to estimate the possible economic impacts of wastewater regulations. This questionnaire will be sent to all identified facilities engaged in CCH production. Completion of this one-time questionnaire will be mandatory pursuant to section 308 of the Clean Water Act. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 200 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR will provide a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents:* 66. *Frequency of response:* One-time. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 13,200 hours. *Estimated total annual costs:* $441,240. This includes an estimated burden cost of $437,370 and an estimated cost of $3,870 for operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the questionnaire as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another **Federal Register** notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Dated: March 23, 2006. Ephraim S.

ACTION: Award Announcement. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation will award grant funds without competition to Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey (National Marriage Project). This grant is being awarded for an unsolicited proposal entitled, “Cohabitation, Marriage and Child Well-Being: A Cross-National Analysis” that conforms to the applicable program objectives, is within the legislative authorities and proposes activities that may be lawfully supported through grant mechanisms. The study is unique, timely, and highly relevant to ACF's interest in supporting healthy marriage. A compilation and analyses of the information from developed foreign nations regarding cohabitation is likely to be informative, instructive, and beneficial to United States' policymakers and others interested in family policy. The National Marriage Project within Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is well-positioned to conduct a comparative analysis of cohabitation across developed nations and the United States. The National Marriage Project at Rutgers University is a nonpartisan organization devoted to creating greater pubic awareness about the importance of marriage as a child-rearing institution. The grant will support a 12-month project at a cost of $86,308 in Federal support. The project is also being supported through non-Federal funding sources.

ACTION: Notice of fifth update report and scheduling of public hearing. SUMMARY: The Commission has announced the schedule for its Fifth update report in investigation No. 332-325, The Economic Effects of Significant U.S. Import Restraints, and has established deadlines for the submission of requests to appear at the hearing and for the filing of written submissions as set forth below. The investigation was requested by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative

(USTR)in May 1992. That request called for an initial investigation and subsequent updates, under section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)). DATES: *Effective Date:* April 7, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Fox, Project Leader ( *alan.fox@usitc.gov* , or 202-205-3267), or Sandra Rivera, Deputy Project Leader ( *sandra.rivera@usitc.gov* , or 202-205-3007) in the Commission's Office of Economics. For information on the legal aspects of this investigation, contact William Gearhart of the Office of the General Counsel ( *william.gearhart@usitc.gov* , or 202-205-3091). The media should contact Margaret O'Laughlin, Office of External Relations (202-205-1819; *margaret.olaughlin@usitc.gov).* *Background:* The Commission instituted this investigation following receipt on May 15, 1992 of a request from the USTR. The request asked that the Commission conduct an investigation assessing the quantitative economic effects of significant U.S. import restraints on the U.S. economy, and prepare periodic update reports following the submission of the first report. The first report was delivered to the USTR in November 1993, the first update in December 1995, the second update in May 1999, the third update in June 2002, and the fourth update in June 2004. In this fifth update, the Commission will assess the economic effects of significant tariff and non-tariff U.S. import restraints on U.S. consumers, on the activities of U.S. firms, on the income and employment of U.S. workers, and on the net economic welfare of the United States. The assessment will not include import restraints resulting from final antidumping or countervailing duty investigations, section 337 and 406 investigations, or section 301 actions. The initial notice of institution of this investigation was published in the **Federal Register** of June 17, 1992 (57 FR 27063). *Public Hearing:* A public hearing in connection with the investigation will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on July 13, 2006. All persons shall have the right to appear, by counsel or in person, to present information and to be heard. Requests to appear at the public hearing should be filed with the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436, no later than 5:15 p.m., June 2, 2006. Any prehearing briefs (original and 14 copies) should be filed not later than the close of business, June 8, 2006; the deadline for filing post-hearing briefs or statements is the close of business, August 11, 2006. In the event that, as of the close of business on June 2, 2006, no witnesses are scheduled to appear at the hearing, the hearing will be canceled. Any person interested in attending the hearing as an observer or non-participant may call the Secretary to the Commission (202-205-2000) after June 5, 2006, to determine whether the hearing will be held. *Written Submissions:* In lieu of or in addition to participating in the hearing, interested parties are invited to submit written statements concerning the matters to be addressed by the Commission in its report on this investigation. To be assured of consideration by the Commission, written statements relating to the Commission's report should be submitted to the Commission at the earliest practical date and should be received no later than 5:15 p.m., June 16, 2006.

(14)copies of each document by filed. In the event that confidential treatment of the document is requested, at least four

(4)additional copies must be filed, in which the confidential business information must be deleted (see the following paragraph for further information regarding confidential business information). The Commission's rules do not authorize filing submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook for Electronic Filing Procedures, *http://hotdocs.usitc.gov/pubs/electronic_filing_handbook.pdf).* Persons with questions regarding electronic filing should contact the Secretary (202-205-2000 or *edis@usitc.gov).* Any submissions that contain confidential business information must also conform with the requirements of section 201.6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6).

(EDIS)at *http://edis.usitc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted by the Commission based on a complaint filed by Fabio Perini North America Inc. of Green Bay, Wisconsin. 70 FR 46884 (August 11, 2005). The complaint alleged violations section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain tissue converting machinery, including rewinders, tail sealers, trim removers, and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1, 3, 6-8, and 13-15 of U.S. Patent No. 5,979,818, claims 1-5 of U.S. Patent No. Re. 35,729, and claim 5 of U.S. Patent No. 5,475,917. The complaint and notice of investigation named Chan Li Machinery, Co., Ltd. of Taipei Hsien, Taiwan as the respondent. The Commission determined not to review ALJ Order No. 10, adding to this investigation claims 7, 12, 15 and 16 of U.S. Patent No. 6,948,677, and ALJ Order No. 11, adding Fabio Perini S.p.A. (of Italy) as a complainant. *See Certain Tissue Converting Machinery, Including Rewinders, Tail Sealers, Trim Removers, and Components Thereof* , Inv. No. 337-TA-548, Notice of Commission Decision Not to Review, 71 FR 10065 (February 28, 2006). On February 22, 2006, the ALJ issued Order No. 13 staying the proceedings in view of settlement negotiations. On February 27, 2006, Fabio Perini North America, Inc., Fabio Perini S.p.A., and Chan Li Machinery Co. Ltd. filed a “Joint Motion to Terminate Investigation Based Upon Settlement Agreement.” On March 6, 2006, the Commission Investigative Attorney filed a motion in support of the joint motion to terminate, noting that it was unaware of any information indicating that the basis of the settlement agreement would be contrary to the public interest. On March 13, 2006, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 14) terminating the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. The ALJ found no indication that termination of the investigation on the basis of the settlement agreement would adversely affect the public interest, and that the procedural requirements for terminating the investigation had been met. No petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ID. This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rule 210.42, 19 CFR 210.42. Issued: April 12, 2006.

The workers were employed as information technology specialists, telecommuting from their homes, but reporting to different facilities. The petition regarding the investigation has been deemed invalid. Petitioners do not constitute a valid worker group of three or more associated workers working at the same facility. Consequently, the investigation has been terminated. Signed at Washington, DC, this 6th day of April 2006. Richard Church, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

The denial notice applicable to workers of Bankers Trust Services, a/k/a Deutsche Bank Services Tennessee, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee was signed on January 26, 2006 and published in the **Federal Register** on February 10, 2006 (71 FR 7077). Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under the following circumstances:

(1)If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered that the determination complained of was erroneous;

(2)If it appears that the determination complained of was based on a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or

(3)If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the decision. The TAA petition filed on behalf of workers at Bankers Trust Services, a/k/a Deutsche Bank Services Tennessee, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee were engaged in providing general banking and financial services to the public and were denied because the petitioning workers did not produce an article within the meaning of section 222 of the Act. The petitioner contends that the Department erred in its interpretation of work performed at the subject facility as providing a service and further conveys that workers of the subject firm “produced individualized billing models with separate tangible file folders”. The petitioner further states that “billing would have been impossible without the production of these individualized billing models”. A company official was contacted for clarification in regard to the nature of the work performed at the subject facility. The official stated that the subject firm does not manufacture products that are sold on the open market. The official further clarified that workers of the subject firm entered account information into an in-house billing system for the purpose of billing external clients. The copies of the work that was entered into the system was kept in a tangible file folder at the subject firm for reference purposes. The sophistication of the work involved is not an issue in ascertaining whether the petitioning workers are eligible for trade adjustment assistance, but whether they produce an article within the meaning of section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. Entering accounting information into the billing system and making copies of the billing financial data for filing purposes is not considered production of an article within the meaning of section 222 of the Trade Act. Petitioning workers do not produce an “article” within the meaning of the Trade Act of 1974. The investigation on reconsideration supported the findings of the primary investigation that the petitioning group of workers does not produce an article. Furthermore, workers of the subject firm did not support production of an article at any affiliated facility. The petitioner further alleges that because workers lost their jobs due to a transfer of job functions to India, petitioning workers should be considered import impacted. The company official stated that such functions as entry of accounting information into a Deutsche Bank billing system for the purpose of billing external clients were shifted to India. Your petition allegation of jobs transferred to a foreign country might be relevant if all other worker group eligibility requirements for trade adjustment assistance were met. However, workers of the subject firm are engaged in data entry of the account information into the in-house billing system and do not meet the requirement of producing an article as established in section 222 of the Trade Act. Thus, the workers in this case do not meet the worker group eligibility requirements of TAA. Service workers can be certified only if worker separations are caused by a reduced demand for their services from a parent or controlling firm or subdivision whose workers produce an article domestically who meet the eligibility requirements, or if the group of workers are leased workers who perform their duties at a facility that meet the eligibility requirements. Conclusion After review of the application and investigative findings, I conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied. Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of April, 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

The investigation revealed that the subject worker group is already covered by an existing certification (TA-W-58,974, certified March 21, 2006). Consequently, the investigation has been terminated. Signed at Washington, DC, this 6th day of April 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E6-5760 Filed 4-17-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,405] NSK Corporation; Ann Arbor, MI; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On February 1, 2006, the Department issued a Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance for the workers and former workers of NSK Corporation, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the **Federal Register** on February 22, 2006 (71 FR 9161). The initial negative determination was based on the findings that the subject firm did not import ball bearings or shift ball bearing production overseas during the relevant period. The Department conducted a survey of the subject company's major customers regarding their purchases of ball bearings. The survey revealed no increases of ball bearing imports while reducing purchases from the subject firm. The investigation also revealed that the subject firm had scheduled a shift of production from the subject facility to another domestic production facility. By application dated March 21, 2006, the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

(UAW)requested administrative reconsideration by the Department. In the request for reconsideration, the UAW alleged that the subject firm had shifted production from NSK Corporation, Clarinda, Iowa to several overseas production facilities and that this shift of production had contributed significantly to worker separations at the subject facility. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department contacted a subject firm official who stated that the subject firm shifted bearing production overseas and that the foreign-produced bearings were returning to the United States. The official also stated that due to excess domestic production capacity, the subject facility was closing. Worker separations began October 2005 and will continue through 2007. The subject facility will be completely closed in 2007. The investigation also revealed that all criteria have been met in regard to Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). A significant number or proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over and workers possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of bearings like or directly competitive with those produced at the subject facility contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of NSK Corporation, Ann Arbor, Michigan who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 18, 2004, through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.” Signed in Washington, DC, this 11th day of April 2006.

The IMLS provides a variety of grant programs to assist the nation's museums and libraries in improving their operations and enhancing their services to the public. Museums and libraries of all sizes and types may receive support from IMLS programs. The Museum and Library Services Act, 20 U.S.C. Section 9101, *et seq.* authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services to make grants to museums and other entities as the Director considers appropriate. In addition, the National Museum of African American History and Culture Act (the “Act”) authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services to establish grant and scholarship programs to improve operations, care of collections, and development of professional management of African American museums throughout the country, and to establish grant programs with the purpose of providing internship and fellowship opportunities at African American Museums. See, generally, 20 U.S.C. Section 80r-5(b). The Institute's new Program is developed pursuant to the provisions of this Act. I. The National Museum of African American History and Culture Act Authorizes the Institute To Develop, Among Other Things, the Following

(B)A grant program with the purpose of providing internship and fellowship opportunities at African American museums. 20 U.S.C. 80r-5(b). Pursuant to this authority, IMLS proposes the program of grants to support and enhance African American museums throughout the country. IMLS received comments that the program guidelines support the current needs of the African American museum community and also reflect the needs of museums generally. IMLS was urged to monitor the program's implementation to measure systematic change and to consider the program as a test bed to develop approaches appropriate to improving operations within other museum communities. IMLS agrees that the program has the potential to effect systematic change and will plan effective monitoring and evaluation strategies. IMLS received questions about the eligibility criteria. IMLS has revised the criteria to clarify eligibility status. The need for technical assistance, particularly for the smaller museums, was noted. IMLS agrees and will extend to this program the types of technical assistance provided to potential applicants in other IMLS programs. II. Current Actions To administer this program of grants, IMLS must develop application guidelines. *Agency:* Institute of Museum and Library Services. *Title:* Museum Grants for African American History and Culture Program Guidelines. *OMB Number:* None. *Agency Number:* 3137. *Frequency:* Annually. *Affected Public:* Museums. *Number of Respondents:* 50. *Estimated Time per Respondent:* 35 hours. *Total Burden Hours:* 750. *Total Annualized capital/startup costs:* $0. *Total Annual Costs:* $32,900. *Contact:* Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn.: OMB Desk Officer for Education, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503
