(202)307-7183. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Tryptamine is a compound in which the chemical structure can be described as indole substituted at the three position with an 2-aminoethyl chain. Although tryptamine itself is not a controlled substance, its chemical structure constitutes the skeletal makeup of tryptamines listed in Schedule I of the CSA, which are classified as hallucinogenic substances. Tryptamine is sometimes substituted on the indole ring or the 2-aminoethyl chain or both with various substituents. Title 21 CFR 1308.11(d) lists specific substituted tryptamines in Schedule I. Also included in Schedule I are the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of the listed tryptamines. The term isomer, as used in this section, means the optical, geometric, and positional isomers. Individuals have published detailed methods of synthesis for substituted tryptamines and have reported pharmacological effects based on user experiences. Law enforcement personnel encounter such tryptamines, but because they are substituted differently than those listed or described in the CSA, they are not subject to direct control in Schedule I. However, some of these substances can be treated as Schedule I controlled substance analogues if intended for human consumption (21 U.S.C. 802(32); § 813). DEA is soliciting information on

(1)The commercial uses for tryptamines,

(2)activities involving research and development,

(3)tryptamines as intermediates or analytical standards,

(4)import and domestic sources for tryptamines, and

(5)any planned or anticipated uses for tryptamines. DEA invites interested persons to provide any information on the uses of tryptamines in industry, academia, research and development, or other applications. Both quantitative and qualitative information is sought. Although information is requested for all tryptamine substances regardless of substitutions, DEA is particularly interested in tryptamines that meet one or more of the following conditions:

(a)Has a secondary or tertiary amine formed by the substitution on the nitrogen atom of the 2-aminoethyl chain by various alkyl groups, whether in chain or ring form (for example, N-alkyltryptamine, N,N-dialkyltryptamine, N,N-tetramethylenetryptamine),

(b)has an alkyl substitution on the alpha position of the 2-aminoethyl chain, and/or

(c)has substituents on the indole ring system, including, but not restricted to, various alkyl chains, halogens, hydroxyl, alkoxy, acetyl, or alkylthio groups, at one or more positions except the one (indole nitrogen) position. DEA is especially interested in learning of the uses of the following tryptamines. 2-alpha-dimethyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N,N-tetramethylenetryptamine 4-hydroxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-propyltryptamine 5,6-dimethoxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyltryptamine 5-methoxy-alpha,N-dimethyltryptamine 5-methoxy-alpha-methyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl-2-methyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N,N-tetramethylenetryptamine 5-methoxy-N-methyltryptamine 6-methoxy-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline 7-methoxy-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline 9,10-didehydro-6-allyl-N,N-diethylergoline-8-beta-carboxamide 9,10-didehydro-6-propyl-N,N-diethylergoline-8-beta-carboxamide 9,10-didehydro-N,N,6-triethylergoline-8-beta-carboxamide alpha,N-dimethyltryptamine N,N-dibutyltryptamine N,N-dibutyl-4-hydroxytryptamine N,N-diethyl-2-methyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine N,N-diethyl-5-methoxytryptamine N,N-diisopropyl-4,5-methylenedioxytryptamine N,N-diisopropyl-5,6-methylenedioxytryptamine N,N-diisopropyltryptamine N,N-dimethyl-2-methyltryptamine N,N-dimethyl-4,5-methylenedioxytryptamine N,N-dimethyl-4-hydroxytryptamine N,N-dimethyl-5,6-methylenedioxytryptamine N,N-dimethyl-5-methylthiotryptamine N,N-dipropyltryptamine N,N-tetramethylenetryptamine N-butyl-N-methyltryptamine N-ethyl-4-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine N-ethyl-N-isopropyltryptamine N-ethyltryptamine 4-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine N-isopropyl-N-methyl-5,6-methylenedioxytryptamine N-isopropyl-N-methyltryptamine N-methyltryptamine 4-acetoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine 4-acetoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine 4-acetoxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine 4-acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N,N-diallyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N-monoallyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamin N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine 4-hydroxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine 5-methoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine Such information may be submitted to the Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section and is requested by October 3, 2006.

E6-12617 Filed 8-3-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-53,753] Citation Corporation, Camden, TN; Notice of Negative Determination on Remand On January 23, 2006, the U.S. Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the Department of Labor's motion for a second voluntary remand in *Former Employees of Citation Corporation* v. *Elaine Chao, U.S. Secretary of Labor,* Court No. 04-00198. On December 1, 2003, the Tennessee AFL-CIO (Union) filed a petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance

(TAA)and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

(ATAA)on behalf of workers of Citation Corporation, Camden, Tennessee producing ductile iron castings (subject worker group). The Department of Labor (Department) terminated the investigation for TA-W-53,753 because no new information or change in circumstance was evident which would have resulted in the reversal of a prior negative determination applicable to the same worker group (TA-W-51,871). The Notice of Termination was issued on December 11, 2003. The Notice was published in the **Federal Register** on January 7, 2004 (69 FR 940). After the Department dismissed the Union's request for reconsideration (April 6, 2004; 69 FR 18107), the Union appealed to the USCIT for review. During the first remand investigation, the Department determined that the worker group and the circumstances of the workers' separations in TA-W-51,871 and TA-W-53,753 were the same and that termination of the investigation of TA-W-53,753 was proper because a final decision was issued in TA-W-51,871. The Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration on Remand was issued on March 9, 2005 and published in the **Federal Register** on March 28, 2005 (70 FR 15646). On January 23, 2006, the USCIT directed the Department to conduct a second remand investigation to determine whether the subject worker group is eligible to apply for TAA. To determine whether the subject worker group is eligible to apply for TAA, the Department conducted an investigation to ascertain if the criteria set forth in 29 CFR 90.16(b) was met:

(1)A significant number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm (or appropriate subdivision of the firm) have become, or are threatened to become, totally or partially separated;

(2)Sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3)Increases (absolute or relative) of imports of articles produced by such workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision thereof contributed importantly to such total or partial separation, or threat thereof, and to such decline in sales or production. Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.2, “increased imports” means that imports have increased, absolutely or relative to domestic production, compared to a representative base period. The regulation also establishes the representative base period as the one-year period preceding the date twelve months prior to the date of the petition. Because the date of TA-W-53,753 is December 1, 2003, the relevant period is December 1, 2002 through November 30, 2003 and the representative base period is December 1, 2001 through November 30, 2002. Therefore, increased imports is established if import levels during December 1, 2002 through November 30, 2003 are greater than import levels during December 1, 2001 through November 30, 2002. During the second remand investigation, the Department confirmed that Citation Corporation, Camden, Tennessee (subject facility) produced ductile iron castings until production ceased on December 9, 2002. SAR 66-68, 72. Due to the domestic shift of production, there were worker separations as well as sales and production declines at the subject facility during the relevant period. SAR 16, 74. Therefore, the Department determines that 29 CFR 90.16(b)(1) and 29 CFR 90.16(b)(2) have been met. To determine whether 29 CFR 90.16(b)(3) has been met, the Department also requested during the second remand investigation information from the Union, SAR 22, 27-28, Citation Corporation (subject firm), SAR 3-21, 42-75, 81-121, 123-126, 129-130, 133, 136, 138, and the individuals identified by the Union as having relevant information. SAR 26-41, 76-80. During the second remand investigation, the Department received information that indicates that the subject facility did not increase its imports of ductile iron castings. SAR 12-13, 21, 72, 74, 111. Because the subject firm retained all of its business, SAR 21, 86-87, 111, 123-125, 140-142, and sales had increased at the subject facility prior to the plant closure, SAR 16, 85 the Department did not inquire whether the subject firm's customers were purchasing from foreign sources instead of purchasing from the subject firm. In response to the Union's assertion that increased foreign competition caused the consolidation of the subject firm's operations and the subsequent closure of the subject facility, SAR 15, the Department sought clarification from the subject firm, SAR 14, 81-138 and the individuals identified by the Union (former and current subject firm officials). SAR 29-41, 76-80. According to the subject firm, any statement about mergers as a result of foreign competition was a general statement about the domestic foundry and automotive industries. SAR 21. Further, one of the three individuals identified by the Union as having relevant information recalls hearing that the Chinese government had built furnaces, but could not clearly identify the source of the information and was unable to identify the product the furnaces were built to manufacture. SAR 80. Another individual identified by the Union did not recall meeting any Union representative and stated that the workers were aware of the subject firm's concerns regarding the high cost of maintaining the facility (the facility was old and in need of much repair). SAR 80. The third individual did not recall any comment made to or from the Union about foreign competition at any meeting, including the December 9, 2002 meeting. SAR 74. During the second remand investigation, the Department determined that production had not shifted abroad from the subject. SAR 16. Rather, the Department concluded that production had shifted from the subject facility to other domestic subject firm facilities producing similar products. SAR 16, 74, 120-121, 124, 141. If the subject firm as a whole suffered decreased sales or production prior to the subject facility's closure, the Department may determine that the subject firm was adversely impacted by increased imports and that the closure was part of the subject firm's efforts to stay viable. The Department, therefore, also requested during second remand investigation corporate-wide sales and production figures of articles like and directly competitive with ductile iron castings for 2001, 2002, and 2003, SAR 113, 118-121, 123-138, and sales figures for the subject firm's major customer. SAR 126, 130, 133. The subject firm provided information for fiscal year 2001 (October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2001), fiscal year 2002 (October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002), and fiscal year 2003 (October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003). SAR 115-116, 120-121, 124-125. For purposes of determining whether the closure of the subject facility was part of the subject firm's efforts to stay viable, the Department inquired into the subject firm's sales and production levels during time periods other than the time periods identified in the initial investigation. These alternative time periods are necessary because the subject facility ceased production on December 9, 2002. For purposes of only this portion of the second remand investigation, the “relevant period” is October 1, 2001 through September 2002, and the “base period” is October 1, 2000 through September 2001. The data shows that the subject firm's fiscal year 2002 sales were stable when compared to fiscal year 2001 sales and that the subject firm's fiscal year 2002 production level was relatively stable when compared to fiscal year 2001 production level. SAR 122. The data also shows that subject firm sales to its largest customer remained stable during the relevant period. SAR 141-142. Given the stable production levels, sales levels and customer base, the Department determines that the subject firm was not adversely impacted by increased imports of ductile iron castings and that increased imports of ductile iron castings did not contribute importantly to the closing of the subject facility. Further, as indicated by a former subject firm official, the subject facility was old and in need of much repair. SAR 80. Finally, in accordance with Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the Department herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA. In order to apply the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the subject worker group must be certified eligible to apply for TAA. Since the workers are being denied eligibility to apply for TAA, they cannot be certified eligible to apply for ATAA. Conclusion After careful review of the findings of the second remand investigation, I affirm the notice of negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of Citation Corporation, Camden, Tennessee. Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of July 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

Dated: July 28, 2006. Erica R. Cantor, Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E6-12623 Filed 8-3-06; BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,935] WSW Company of Sharon, Inc., a Subsidiary of Wormser Company, Sharon, TN; Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration On May 10, 2006, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The Notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 19, 2006 (71 FR 29184). The petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), dated February 28, 2006, filed on behalf of workers of WSW Company of Sharon, Inc., a Subsidiary of Wormser Company, Sharon, Tennessee (subject facility) was denied because, during the relevant period, the workers did not produce an article within the meaning of the Trade Act and did not support a domestic production facility that was import-impacted. While the subject facility was previously certified for TAA (TA-W-51,848), the certification expired prior to the petition date (expired on June 30, 2005). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners assert that, during the relevant period, they were engaged in activity related to the production of an article (children's sleepwear) manufactured by Wormser Company (subject firm). During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed that domestic production had ceased in 2004 and, therefore, determined that production did not take place at the subject facility during the relevant period. In subsequent submissions, the petitioners asserted that they produced “pick tickets” (internal-use distribution documents) and labels used for shipping. Although the workers' activities resulted in printed material, this material is incidental to the provision of distribution services. The Department has consistently determined that items produced as a result of the provision of services are not marketable and not an article for purposes of the Trade Act. Further, information provided by the petitioners reveal that the activities in which they were engaged supported a domestic warehousing and shipping facility, not a production facility. 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 27th day of July 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

(202)693-3381. Corrections In the **Federal Register** of July 3, 2006, in FR Volume 71, Number 127: On Page 37953, in the third column, Section III(A)(4) is corrected to read: 4. One-Stop Career Centers, as established under Section 121 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-220). The eligible applicant for One-Stop Career Centers is the One-Stop Operator, as defined under Section 121 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-220), on behalf of the One-Stop Career Center. The applicant must:

(1)Have a letter of concurrence from all signatories to the One-Stop Career Center Memorandum of Understanding, including the Local Workforce Investment Board

(WIB)and all mandatory partners, as specified in Section 121 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998;

(2)demonstrate that the proposed activities are consistent with the state strategic Workforce Investment Act plan; and

(3)demonstrate that the Local Workforce Investment Board, or its designated fiscal agent, will serve as the fiscal agent for the grant. The Workforce Investment Board's support and involvement in the project should be detailed in the letter of concurrence, which should also address the above requirements

(2)and (3). The WIB may also address above requirements 2 and 3 in a separate letter of concurrence. Applications from One-Stop Career Centers without a letter of concurrence from the One-Stop Career Center partners will be considered non-responsive. One-Stop Career Center applications must specify one or more community college(s) where all capacity building and training activities will occur under the grant. On page 37955, Section III(C), in the first column, is corrected to add: 7. Re-designation of One-Stop Operators. If at any time, the applicant One-Stop Operator changes, then the One-Stop partners may amend their application, on behalf of the One-Stop Career Center, for the purpose of designating a new One-Stop Operator. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

(1)Clarification of the Intent of Behind the Requirement That a Component of All Applications Be Direct Training Costs That Allow Participants, Without Tuition Payments, To Be Enrolled in the Training Program (71 FR 37948 (July 3, 2006) pages 37954.) ETA's intent with this condition is that grantees do not “double dip” by charging tuition AND direct training costs from the grant for the same enrollee. It is ETA's expectation that the grant will cover the direct training costs for a substantive number of targeted students and that those students would not be charged tuition. Grantees must identify and track the number of individuals trained using grant dollars as well as the number of individuals trained using leveraged resources. The SGA requires that each project include a component of direct training. Traditionally, institutions of higher education charge a per-credit hour tuition to cover these costs. ETA intends that students participating in the direct training component of the project not be required to pay costs already covered by the grant. Applicants may recoup the costs of the direct training component in two ways:

(1)charging the grant the normal tuition rate for the course or

(2)charging the actual direct and indirect costs of the course. If the applicants choose to recoup the costs through tuition charged to the grant, they may also charge the grant for the non-tuition costs of attending the course such as lab fees or books. For the targeted number of students to be trained with leveraged resources, direct training may be leveraged with Department of Education PELL grants, WIA training funds, and other cash sources. Also, these leveraged resources may also cover the non-tuition costs of attending the course such as lab fees or books. In addition, the capacity building component of the grant may enable students beyond those targeted for training under the grant to access training at the college. The college may charge those students tuition. In these instances, applicants should estimate the impact of this capacity building activity by projecting the numbers of students that will be trained in addition to those targeted for training under the grant and/or leveraged resources. For reference, direct training costs are the costs associated with the actual provision of a training course as opposed to the capacity building costs associated with the development of training capabilities or curriculums. Direct training costs may include (please note that this is not an exhaustive list): • Faculty costs, including salaries and fringe benefits • In-house training staff • Support staff costs such as lab or teaching assistants • Classroom space, including laboratories, mock-ups or other facilities used for training purposes • Books, materials, and supplies used in the training course, including specialized equipment used in the training course Direct training costs do not include costs that support the college in general, but not the training program, such as fees to support student activities, the library, gym or recreation center, etc, which may be covered through some other mechanism, such as student fees. Indirect training costs may include the applicable share of the Institution's indirect costs (overhead) and library or other student activity fees associated with the operation of the Institution. Both direct and indirect training costs must be allowable costs under the applicable OMB circular. All direct and indirect training costs should be linked to a specific course or curriculum as specified in the proposal or the statement of work.

(2)Clarification of Intent Behind the 5 Bonus Points for Leveraging Workforce Investment Act Resources (71 FR 37948 (July 3, 2006), pages 37951 and 37958.) The application currently states: “Applications that demonstrate the use of Workforce Investment Act

(WIA)funds for Individual Training Accounts, the pilot of Career Advancement Accounts, or for customized training to cover the tuition costs for the CBJTG training program for eligible new or incumbent workers, will receive 5 bonus points,” 71 FR 37948 (July 3, 2006). ETA's intent behind this criterion is to award bonus points to applications that demonstrate integration of WIA training funds into grant activities. Examples of WIA training funds include Individual Training Accounts, customized training, and Career Advancement Accounts. Applications that demonstrate the use of WIA training funds, whether through ITAs, customized training, or CAAs, will receive 5 bonus points. This does not change what is allowed for applications to receive bonus points, but is a clarification of the intent of bonus points being for use of WIA training funds generally, not just ITA's, CAA's, or customized training, to cover the tuition costs for eligible new or incumbent workers. Career Advancement Accounts

(CAAs)have been proposed in the President's Fiscal Year 2007 budget; however ETA recognizes that some states may be piloting CAAs in advance of the FY 2007 budget, which is why they are included in the list of programs utilizing WIA training funds.

E6-12763 Filed 8-3-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request for comments. SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration

(NARA)publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before September 18, 2006. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA will send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff usually prepare appraisal memorandums that contain additional information concerning the records covered by a proposed schedule. These, too, may be requested and will be provided once the appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 30 days to submit comments. ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of any records schedule identified in this notice by contacting the Life Cycle Management Division

(NWML)using one of the following means: *Mail:* NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. *E-mail:* *requestschedule@nara.gov.* *FAX:* 301-837-3698. Requesters must cite the control number, which appears in parentheses after the name of the agency which submitted the schedule, and must provide a mailing address. Those who desire appraisal reports should so indicate in their request. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurence Brewer, Director, Life Cycle Management Division (NWML), National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. Telephone: 301-837-1539. E-mail: *records.mgt@nara.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year Federal agencies create billions of records on paper, film, magnetic tape, and other media. To control this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA's approval, using the Standard Form

(SF)115, Request for Records Disposition Authority. These schedules provide for the timely transfer into the National Archives of historically valuable records and authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent. No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private persons directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether or not they have historical or other value.

E6-12598 Filed 8-3-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7515-01-P NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment AGENCY: National Science Foundation. ACTION: Notice of availability of a draft Environmental Assessment for proposed activities in the Pacific Ocean. SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation gives notice of the availability of a draft Environmental Assessment for proposed activities in the Pacific Ocean. The Division of Ocean Sciences in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO/OCE) has prepared a draft Environmental Assessment for a low-energy marine seismic survey by the Research Vessel Roger Revelle in the South Pacific Ocean, in international waters roughly between 23° and 47° S, and between 115° and 165° W during December 2006-January 2007. The draft Environmental Assessment is available for public review for a 30-day period. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 5, 2006. ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft Environmental Assessment are available upon request from: Dr. William Lang, National Science Foundation, Division of Ocean Sciences, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 725, Arlington, VA 22230. Telephone:

(703)292-7857. The draft is also available on the agency's Web site at *http://www.nsf.gov/geo/oce/pubs/scripps_seismic_southpac_dec2006_EA.pdf.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), with research funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), plans to conduct a piston/gravity coring, magnetic, and seismic survey program at 12 sites in the South Pacific Ocean during December 2006-January 2007. The proposed action is part of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program

(IODP)and will collect data that will be used to

(1)document the metabolic activities genetic composition, and biomass of prokaryotic communities in the subseafloor sediments with very low total activity;

(2)quantify the extent to which those communities may be supplied with harvestable energy by water radiolysis, a process independent of the surface photosynthetic world; and

(3)survey broad characteristics of subseafloor communities and habitats in this region, in order to refine the planning and objectives of IODP South Pacific research. The seismic survey is required to locate optimal piston/gravity-coring sites and involves one vessel, the R/V Roger Revelle. One pair of low-energy Generator-Injector

(GI)airguns (45 in 3 discharge volume each) will used as the seismic energy source with a proposed survey program of approximately 1930 km of seismic lines, including turns, with water depths of 3200 to 5700m. The research will be carried out entirely within international waters. Numerous species of cetaceans and sea turtles occur in the South Pacific Ocean. Several of the species are listed as Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). The increased underwater noise from the research may result in avoidance behavior by some marine animals, and other forms of disturbance. An integral part of the planned survey is a monitoring and mitigation program designed to minimize impacts of the proposed activities on marine species present, and to document the nature and extent of any effects. Injurious impacts to marine animals have not been proven to occur near equipment proposed to be used in this research; however, the planned monitoring and mitigation measures would minimize the possibility of such effects should they otherwise occur. With the planned monitoring and mitigation measures, unavoidable impacts to each of the species of marine mammal that might be encountered are expected to be limited to short-term localized changes in behavior and distribution near the seismic vessel. At most, such effects may be interpreted as falling within the Marine Mammal Protection Act

(MMPA)definition of “Level B Harassment” for those species managed by NMFS. No long-term or significant effects are expected on individual marine mammals, or the populations to which they belong, or their habitats. The agency is currently consulting with the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding species within their jurisdiction potentially affected by this proposed activity. Copies of the draft Environmental Assessment, titled “Environmental Assessment of a Planned Low-Energy Marine Seismic Survey by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the South Pacific Ocean, December 2006-January 2007”, are available upon request from: Dr. William Lang, National Science foundation, Division of Ocean Sciences, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 725, Arlington, VA 22230.
