Review and Selection Process: For five-year Individual Development Grants and five-year Cooperative Development Grants, awards will be made in rank order according to the average score received from a panel of three readers. *Tie-breaker for Development Grants.* In tie-breaking situations described in 34 CFR 607.23(b) for Development Grants, regulations for the Title III Part A Programs require that we award one additional point to an application from an IHE that has an endowment fund for which the market value per FTE student is less than the comparable average per FTE student at a similar type IHE. We also award one additional point to an application from an IHE that had expenditures for library materials per FTE student that are less than the comparable average per FTE student at a similar type IHE. For the purpose of these funding considerations, we will use 2003-2004 data. If a tie remains after applying the tie-breaker mechanism above, priority will be given in the case of applicants for:
(a)Individual Development Grants to applicants that have the lowest endowment values per FTE student; and
(b)Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants to applicants in accordance with section 394(b) of the HEA, if the Secretary determines that the cooperative arrangement is geographically and economically sound or will benefit the applicant institution. VI. Award Administration Information 1. *Award Notices:* If your application is successful, we notify your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notification (GAN). We may also notify you informally. If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, we notify you. 2. *Administrative and National Policy Requirements:* We identify administrative and national policy requirements in the application package and reference these and other requirements in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice and include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also incorporates your approved application as part of your binding commitments under the grant. 3. *Reporting:* At the end of your project period, you must submit a final performance report, including financial information, as directed by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance report that provides the most current performance and financial expenditure information as specified by the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118, 34 CFR 75.720, and in 34 CFR 607.31. 4. *Performance Measures:* The Secretary has established the following key performance measures for assessing the effectiveness of the Title III, Part A Programs:
(1)The number of full-time degree-seeking undergraduates enrolling at IHEs. Note that this is a long-term measure, which will be used to periodically gauge performance, beginning in FY 2009;
(2)The percentage of full-time undergraduate students who were in their first year of postsecondary enrollment in the previous year and are enrolled in the current year at the same institution;
(3)The percentage of students enrolled at 4-year IHEs graduating within 6 years of enrollment; and
(4)The percentage of students enrolled at 2-year IHEs graduating within 3 years of enrollment. VII. Agency Contacts FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Maria E. Carrington, U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street, NW., 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20006-8513. Telephone:

(ATB)Tests and Passing Scores AGENCY: Department of Education. ACTION: Update notice. SUMMARY: This notice provides an update to the list of ATB tests approved by the Secretary, pursuant to section 484(d) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), and the implementing regulations in 34 CFR part 668, subpart J. This notice extends the Secretary's approval of the Combined English Language Skills Assessment (CELSA) test, with updated passing scores, as an ATB test for students whose native language is not English and who are not fluent in English. It also adds the ESL Placement (COMPASS/ESL) test as a newly approved ATB test for students whose native language is not English and who are not fluent in English. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Morgan, U.S. Department of Education, Federal Student Aid, Union Center Plaza, 830 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20202-5345. Telephone:
(202)377-4033. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the Federal Relay Service

Individuals with disabilities may obtain a copy of this document in an alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, or computer diskette) on request to the contact person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the HEA and 34 CFR part 668, subpart J, students who do not have a certificate of graduation from a school providing secondary education or its recognized equivalent must successfully complete an ATB test as approved by the Secretary, in order to be eligible for Title IV, program assistance. A student who does not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent whose native language is not English and is not fluent in English, and who is enrolled in a program that is taught in the student's native language must take an approved test developed in the student's native language. To date, no non-English ATB tests have been submitted to the Secretary for approval. A student who does not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent whose native language is not English and is not fluent in English, and who is enrolled in a program that is taught in English must take an ATB test designed to measure the English language competence of a non-native speaker. Students who are enrolled in such a program that has an “English as a Second Language”
(ESL)component and who are enrolled in the ESL component, must take an approved ATB test specifically for a student whose native language is not English and who is not fluent in English. Students who are enrolled in an ESL program only also must take an approved ATB test specifically for a student whose native language is not English and who is not fluent in English. Both CELSA and the ESL Placement (COMPASS/ESL) tests as listed in this notice are approved by the Secretary for students whose native language is not English and who are not fluent in English. A student who does not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent, and whose native language is not English and is not fluent in English, who is enrolled in a program that is taught in English without an ESL component, or the student does not enroll in the ESL component of the program, must take an ATB test in English that assesses secondary school verbal and quantitative skills. The Secretary amends the list of approved ATB tests and passing scores that was published in the **Federal Register** on March 11, 2005 (70 FR 12208) by adding the ESL Placement Test (COMPASS/ESL) and its passing scores. The ESL Placement Test (COMPASS/ESL) may be used as an ATB test for Title IV eligibility purposes consistent with 34 CFR part 668, subpart J as of the date of this notice. The Secretary is also extending the approval of the CELSA test and updating its passing scores. The current passing scores on CELSA Form 1 of
(90)and CELSA Form 2 of
(90)will expire on June 19, 2006. The new passing scores of CELSA Form 1 of
(97)and CELSA Form 2 of

PP-107 and EA-107] Application To Rescind Presidential Permit and Electricity Export Authorization; Arizona Public Service Company AGENCY: Office Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE. ACTION: Notice of application. SUMMARY: Arizona Public Service Company
(APS)has applied to rescind Presidential Permit No. PP-107 and electricity export Order No. EA-107. DATES: Comments, protests, or requests to intervene must be submitted on or before June 19, 2006. ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or requests to intervene should be addressed as follows: Office Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (Mail Code OE-20), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585-0350 (FAX 202-586-5860). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202-586-9624 or Michael Skinker (Program Attorney) 202-586-2793. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of facilities at the international border of the United States for the transmission of electric energy between the United States and a foreign country is prohibited in the absence of a Presidential permit issued pursuant to Executive Order
(EO)10485, as amended by EO 12038. In addition, exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country are regulated and require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA)(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On November 28, 1995, the Department of Energy
(DOE)issued Presidential Permit No. PP-107 to APS for the construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of a 34.5-kilovolt
(kV)electric transmission facility at the U.S.-Mexico border in the vicinity of Douglas, Arizona. The line originates at APS's Fairview substation in Douglas, Arizona, and extends south approximately two miles to the U.S.-Mexico border. On December 5, 1995, DOE issued Order No. EA-107 authorizing APS to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico using the transmission facilities authorized in Presidential Permit No. PP-107. On March 21, 2006, APS applied to DOE to rescind Presidential Permit PP-107 and the associated electricity export authorization contained in Order No. EA-107. At the time of the original permit and export applications, APS had anticipated that the PP-107 facilities would be used for the exchange of emergency power between APS and the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), the national electric utility of Mexico. However, no sales occurred during either 2004 or 2005, and APS now asserts that the line could be better utilized for domestic purposes. APS proposes to accomplish this by removing the span of conductor that crosses the international border, reducing the voltage from 34.5-kV to 12-kV, and using the remaining U.S. portion of the line to supply domestic load in the Douglas area. *Procedural Matters:* Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this application should file a petition to intervene, comment or protest at the address provided above in accordance with §§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214).

Cobb, Law Department, Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, 400 North Fifth Street, P.O. Box 53999, Mail Station 8695, Phoenix, AZ 85072-3999. Before DOE takes action on APS's application to rescind its Presidential permit and electricity export authorization, DOE must determine that the proposed action will not adversely impact on the reliability of the U.S. electric power supply system and must consider the environmental impacts of the proposed action pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

When EPA identifies a comment containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is placed in Regulations.gov. The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, and will not be available for public viewing in Regulations.gov. For further information about the electronic docket go to *http://www.Regulations.gov.* *Title:* Health and Safety Data Reporting, Submission of Lists and Copies of Health and Safety Studies [TSCA Section 8(d)]. *ICR Numbers:* EPA ICR Number 0575.10, OMB Control Number 2070-0004. *Abstract:* Section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA)and 40 CFR part 716 require manufacturers and processors of chemicals to submit lists and copies of health and safety studies relating to the health and/or environmental effects of certain chemical substances and mixtures. In order to comply with the reporting requirements of section 8(d), respondents must search their records to identify any health and safety studies in their possession, copy and process relevant studies, list studies that are currently in progress, and submit this information to EPA. EPA uses this information to construct a complete picture of the known effects of the chemicals in question, leading to determinations by EPA of whether additional testing of the chemicals is required. The information enables EPA to base its testing decisions on the most complete information available and to avoid demands for testing that may be duplicative. EPA will use information obtained via this collection to support its investigation of the risks posed by chemicals and, in particular, to support its decisions on whether to require industry to test chemicals under section 4 of TSCA. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 716). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 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 for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** , are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 19 hours per respondent. Burden is 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; 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are companies that manufacture, process, import, or distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures. *Frequency of Collection:* On occasion. *Estimated total/average number of responses for each respondent:* 1. *Estimated No. of Respondents:* 34. *Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents:* 1,278 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Costs:* $61,129. *Changes in Burden Estimates:* There is a decrease of 1,066 hours (from 2,334 hours to 1,278 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the information collection request most recently approved by OMB. This change is due to adjustments in the estimates to better reflect EPA's experience with the 1998 revisions to the TSCA section 8(d) reporting standards that reduced reporting burden. The last ICR renewal estimated reporting burden by projecting responses based on historical reporting from rules prior to the 1998 revisions. The data used to project future responses for this ICR renewal are limited to reports for chemicals added to the section 8(d) list after the 1998 revisions. The new estimates are based solely on experience with the 2004 list of section 8(d) chemicals (the first chemicals added to the list since the 1998 revisions to the regulations). As a result, EPA has reduced the estimated number of reports that will be submitted in the future. This change is an adjustment. Dated: May 8, 2006.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for paper and other web coating were proposed on September 13, 2000 (65 *FR* 55331), and promulgated on December 4, 2002 (67 *FR* 72341). These standards apply to each existing, new, or reconstructed paper and other web coating (POWC). Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the following notification:
(1)Initial notification;
(2)notification of performance test; and
(3)notification of compliance status. Affected sources must submit performance test reports, and a startup, shutdown, malfunction
(SSM)report. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records on a monthly basis. They are:
(1)Continuous emission monitor data;
(2)control device and capture system operating parameter data;
(3)organic HAP content data;
(4)volatile matter and coating solids content data;
(5)overall control efficiency determination using capture efficiency and control device;
(6)material usage, organic HAP usage, volatile matter usage, and coating solids usage; and
(7)liquid-liquid material balances. Semiannual compliance reports are also required. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. 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 for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 23 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Paper and other web coating facility. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 215. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion, initially, semiannually, and monthly. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 11,312. *Estimated Total Annual Costs:* $1,765,220, which includes $233,000 annualized capital/startup costs, $619,000 O&M costs and $913,229 in labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 30,150 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to the requirements of the rule that states all existing sources must be in compliance within three years of promulgation date, thus, less burden is imposed on existing sources. Also, in the previous ICR, 226 respondents read the rule and determined that they were not subject, since this is a one-time-only activity, the number of respondents is 226 less than in the previous ICR. There was a decrease in the capital/startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. The reason for this decrease is because we are accounting only for the number of respondents associated with the O&M costs, not for the number of annual reports used in the previous ICR. Also, there are only 6 new sources per year versus 18 in the previous ICR. Dated: May 12, 2006. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for brick and structural clay products
(BSCP)manufacturing, were proposed on July 22, 2002 (67 *FR* 47894), promulgated on May 16, 2003 (68 *FR* 26690). These standards apply to each existing, new or reconstructed BSCP manufacturing facility. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the following notification:
(1)Initial notification,
(2)notification of initial performance test,
(3)notification of compliance status. Affected sources must submit a compliance report, and a startup, shutdown, and malfunction

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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Brick and structural clay manufacturing facilities. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 72. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion, semiannually and initially. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 14,086. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $1,125,915, which includes $10,000 annualized capital, start up costs, $5,000 annualized O&M costs, and $1,110,915 O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 3,385 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to the requirements of the standard that states all existing facilities must be in full compliance three years after promulgation, which would be the fourth year or the first year of this renewal ICR. All existing sources, along with the additional new source would be fulfilling the applicable standards thus, justifying the decrease in respondent's burden as compared to the active ICR. There is a decrease in the capital/startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. The reason for this decrease is also due to the fact that all existing facilities are required to be in full compliance during the fourth year, thus reflecting the decrease incurred in this renewal ICR.

ACTION: Notice; correction. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)published a document in the **Federal Register** of February 23, 2006 (71 FR 9333), announcing the IRIS 2006 program agenda. EPA is correcting errors in the list of substances. The Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS)is an EPA database that contains the Agency's scientific positions on human health effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances in the environment. On March 4, 2005, EPA announced the 2005 IRIS agenda (70 FR 10616), with solicitation of scientific information from the public for consideration in assessing health effects from specific chemical substances. All assessments currently in progress are listed in this notice. EPA is not initiating new assessments in 2006 in order to focus on completion of existing assessments. This notice also provides an update on EPA' efforts to improve the IRIS health assessment development and review processes. DATES: While EPA is not expressly soliciting comments on this notice, the Agency will accept information related to the substances included herein. Please submit any information in accordance with the instructions provided at the end of this notice. ADDRESSES: Please submit relevant scientific information identified by docket ID number EPA-HQ-ORD-2003-0016, online at *http://www.regulations.gov* (EPA' preferred method); by e-mail to *ord.docket@epa.gov* ; mailed to EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code: 2822T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; or by hand delivery or courier to EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

(202)565-0075; or e-mail: *kadry.abdel@epa.gov* . For general questions about access to IRIS, or the content of IRIS, please call the IRIS Hotline at
(202)566-1676 or send electronic mail inquiries to *hotline.iris@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background IRIS is an EPA database containing Agency scientific positions on potential adverse human health effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. (EPA notes that information in the IRIS database has no preclusive effect and does not predetermine the outcome of any rulemaking. When EPA uses such information to support a rulemaking, the scientific basis for, and the application of, that information are subject to comment.) IRIS currently provides information on health effects associated with more than 500 chemical substances. The database includes chemical-specific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health information in support of the first two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. Combined with specific situational exposure assessment information, the information in IRIS is an important source in evaluating potential public health risks from environmental contaminants. EPA's overall process for developing IRIS assessments consists of:
(1)An annual **Federal Register** announcement of EPA's IRIS agenda and call for scientific information from the public on selected chemical substances;
(2)a search of the scientific literature;
(3)development of IRIS Summaries and support documents;
(4)EPA-wide review;
(5)external peer review;
(6)management review and approval; and
(7)entry of IRIS Summaries and support documents into the IRIS database ( *http://www.epa.gov/iris* ). The IRIS Annual Agenda Each year, EPA develops an annual agenda for the IRIS program and announces new assessments under review. A focus of the IRIS Program for 2006 is to move forward the 75 assessments already in progress. In light of this focus, EPA will not initiate any new assessments in 2006. This notice provides:
(1)A list of IRIS assessments in progress;
(2)an update on improvements made to the IRIS program and preliminary notice of further improvements under consideration. Assessments in Progress The following assessments are underway. Each was listed in the 2005 IRIS agenda. The status and planned milestone dates for each assessment can be found on the IRIS Track system, accessible from the IRIS database. All health endpoints due to chronic exposure, cancer and noncancer, are being assessed unless otherwise noted. For all endpoints assessed, both qualitative and quantitative assessments are being developed where information is available. Those substances denoted with an asterisk (*) may require additional time for analysis or peer review due to their large databases or complex assessment issues. Substances denoted with a double asterisk (**) are being evaluated for effects from acute and/or other less-than-lifetime exposure durations. These substances are part of a pilot test to evaluate the application of methods, procedures, and resource needs for adding health effects information for less-than-lifetime exposure durations to IRIS. Additional less-than-lifetime durations may be added to ongoing chronic assessments as needs arise and resources permit.

Note that the asbestos noncancer assessment has been expanded to include cancer effects. Also note that the following assessments are being withdrawn from the IRIS agenda: Bromodichloromethane, bromoform, and dibromochloromethane are drinking water disinfection byproducts with criteria documents currently available from EPA's Office of Water. *Cryptosporidium* is withdrawn from the IRIS agenda pending completion of a microbial risk assessment approach. These are the only substantive changes to the IRIS agenda. IRIS Summaries and support documents for all substances listed as on-going assessments in 2006 will be provided on the IRIS Web site at *http://www.epa.gov/iris* as they are completed. This publicly available Web site is EPA's primary location for IRIS documents. In addition, external peer review drafts of IRIS assessments are posted for public information and comment. These drafts will continue to be accessible via the IRIS and NCEA Web sites. Note that these drafts are intended for public information only, and do not represent the Agency's final position. Other Improvements to the IRIS Program—Update As discussed in the **Federal Register** notice announcing the 2005 agenda, EPA is improving the IRIS program and its products through a series of program reforms. EPA has expanded its central IRIS Staff to better manage the program and promote scientific quality and consistency. In addition, external scientific peer reviews are being conducted routinely by panel meetings rather than by mail reviews. This step is being taken to provide the best possible scientific evaluation of each assessment. Further, EPA now conducts each external peer review at the end of each IRIS assessment review process, strengthening the role of peer review in informing the outcome of the process. A public comment period prior to panel peer review meetings is now standard practice, and the meetings are open to the public for observation. These program reforms facilitate scientific input from the public and make the peer review process more transparent. Further enhancements to the IRIS assessment development and review process are currently under consideration. A follow-up notice will be published in the **Federal Register** to announce a public workshop on proposed additions to the IRIS process in 2006. General Information As of Monday, November 28, 2005, EPA's EDOCKET was replaced by the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS), the new Federal government-wide system. FDMS was created to provide a single point of access to all Federal rulemaking activities.

(a)of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify certain pollutants which “may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare” and to issue air quality criteria for them. These air quality criteria are 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 * * *.” Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109
(d)of the Act requires subsequent periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health and welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised criteria. Lead is one of six “criteria” pollutants for which EPA has established air quality criteria and NAAQS. On November 9, 2004 (69 FR 64926), EPA formally initiated its current review of the criteria and NAAQS for lead, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. One of the next steps in this process was to prepare a project work plan for revision of the existing “Air Quality Criteria for Lead,” EPA-600/8-83/028aF-dF (published in June 1986) and an associated supplement (EPA-600/8-89/049F) published in 1990. Accordingly, a draft of EPA's “Project Work Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for Lead” (NCEA-R-1465) was released on January 7, 2005, for public comment (70 FR 1439) and was discussed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) via a publicly accessible March 28, 2005, teleconference consultation (70 FR 11629). On July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41007), several workshops were announced to discuss, with invited recognized scientific experts, initial draft materials that dealt with various lead-related issues being addressed in the draft AQCD for lead. These workshops were held August 4-5, 16-18, and 17-19, 2005. The first external review draft of the Air Quality Criteria for Lead (EPA/600/R-05/144aA-bA) was announced in the **Federal Register** on December 2, 2005 (70 FR 72300). The CASAC Lead Review Panel reviewed the first external review draft at a public meeting on February 28 and March 1, 2006. EPA considered the comments of the CASAC review panel and of the public in drafting this “Air Quality Criteria for Lead, Second External Review Draft.” After the end of the comment period on the “Air Quality Criteria for Lead, Second External Review Draft,” the CASAC review panel will review the draft at a public meeting. Public comments received will be provided to the CASAC review panel. There will be a **Federal Register** notice to inform the public of the exact date and time of that CASAC meeting.

Proposed Project Customer Surveys Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health Statistics—New-National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description As part of a comprehensive program, the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS)plans to assess its customers' satisfaction with the quality and relevance of the information it produces. NCHS will conduct voluntary customer surveys to assess strengths in agency products and services. Results of these surveys will be used in future planning initiatives. This is a request for a generic approval from OMB to conduct customer surveys over the next three years. The data will be collected using a combination of methodologies appropriate to each survey. These may include: Evaluation forms, mail surveys, focus groups, automated and electronic technology (e.g., e-mail, Web-based surveys), and telephone surveys. Systematic surveys of several groups will be folded into the program. Among these are Federal customers and policy makers, state and local officials who rely on NCHS data, the broader educational, research, and public health community, and other data users. The 2006 surveys will include:
(1)A self-selected broad-based group of data users who register for and/or attend NCHS sponsored conferences and
(2)all persons who access the NCHS Web site. Data items will include (in broad categories) information regarding an individual's gender, age, occupation, affiliation, location, etc. The proposed questions will attempt to obtain information that will characterize the respondents' familiarity with and use of NCHS data, their assessment of usefulness, general satisfaction with available services and products, and suggestions for improvement of services and products. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 547.
