BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION State of Rhode Island Relinquishment of Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Approval Authority and Assumption by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Notice of assumption by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and approval authority from the State of Rhode Island. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that effective July 1, 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will assume regulatory authority for sealed source and device evaluations and approvals in the State of Rhode Island in response to a request from the Governor of the State of Rhode Island to relinquish this authority.
DATES: *Effective Date:* July 1, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jennifer C. Tobin, Health Physicist, Office of State and Tribal Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone
(301)415-2328, Internet: *JCT1@NRC.GOV.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, the State of Rhode Island has an Agreement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)which recognizes the State authority to regulate specific categories of radioactive materials formerly regulated by the NRC. This Agreement was entered into on January 1, 1980, pursuant to Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Recently, the NRC received a letter from Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri (May 16, 2006) requesting relinquishment of the State's authority to evaluate and approve sealed source and devices, and assumption of this authority by NRC. The requested action would involve assumption of regulatory authority by NRC over activities currently regulated by Rhode Island pursuant to its Agreement with NRC. The Governor of Rhode Island noted there is one manufacturer in the State and there has been no sealed source and device evaluations conducted since 2001. Governor Carcieri indicated that it would not be cost effective to fund and maintain staff to conduct sealed source and device evaluations. The Commission has agreed to the request and has notified Rhode Island that effective July 1, 2006, the NRC will reassume authority to evaluate and approve sealed source and device applications within the State of Rhode Island. The State of Rhode Island will retain authority to regulate the manufacture and use of sealed sources and devices within the State in accordance with its Section 274b. Agreement with the NRC. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 27th day of June, 2006. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary of the Commission. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces the disposition of the product petitions accepted for review in the 2005 GSP Annual Product Review, the results of the 2005 Country Practices Review, the results of the 2005 *De Minimis* Waiver and Redesignation Reviews, the 2005 Competitive Need Limitation
(CNL)removals, and certain previously-deferred country practice decisions. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The GSP Subcommittee, Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), Room F-220, 1724 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508. The telephone number is
(202)395-6971 and the facsimile number is
(202)395-9481. The e-mail address is *FR0441@USTR.GOV.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSP program provides for the duty-free importation of designated articles when imported from beneficiary developing countries. The GSP program is authorized by Title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, *et seq.* ), as amended (the “Trade Act”), and is implemented in accordance with Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 1975, as modified by subsequent Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations. In the 2005 Annual Product Review, the GSP Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee reviewed petitions to change the product coverage of the GSP. The disposition of those petitions is described in Part I of “Results of the 2005 GSP Annual Review”, available at *http://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Development/Preference_Programs/GSP/ Section_Index.html* (“2005 Results List”). The disposition of petitions considered in the 2005 Country Practices Review, and certain previously-deferred country practice petitions, is described in Part II pf the 2005 Results List. In the 2005 *De Minimis* Waiver and Redesignation Review, the GSP Subcommittee evaluated the appraised import values of each GSP-eligible article in 2005 to determine whether an article from a GSP beneficiary developing country exceeded the GSP CNLs. De minimis waivers were granted to certain articles that exceeded the 50 percent import share CNL, but for which the aggregate value of the imports of that article was below the 2005 *de minimis* level of $17.5 million. Part III pf the 2005 Results List contains a list of the articles and the associated countries granted *de minimis* waivers. An article from a GSP-eligible country that had previously exceeded one of the CNLs, but had fallen below the CNL for total annual trade in 2005 was redesignated for GSP eligibility pursuant to the 2005 review. That article and country are listed in Part IV of the 2005 Results List. Articles that exceeded one of the GSP CNLs in 2005, and that are newly excluded from GSP eligibility for a specific country, are listed in Part V of the 2005 Results List. Marideth J. Sandler, Executive Director, Generalized System of Preferences
