Public Land Order
(PLO)No. 7653, 70 FR 76854-76858 (December 28, 2005), withdrew approximately 308,600 acres of public lands from surface entry and mining for the purpose of evaluating a suite of alternative rail alignments along the Caliente Corridor, as described in the DOE's Final Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada, February 2002. The evaluation is for the potential construction, operation, and maintenance of a rail line which would be used to transport spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to the proposed Yucca Mountain Repository as part of the DOE's responsibility under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 10101 *et seq.* The DOE has identified an additional 68,646 acres of public lands for evaluation along the Caliente Corridor. Since PLO No. 7653 can not be amended to add lands, the DOE has filed this new withdrawal application for those additional lands. The DOE's withdrawal application also includes 139,391 acres of public lands for the purpose of evaluating the potential construction, operation, and maintenance of a rail line along a suite of alternative rail alignments referred to by the DOE as the “Mina Route.” The width of the withdrawal is 1 mile. The expiration date for this proposed withdrawal would be the same as the expiration date for PLO No. 7653, which is December 27, 2015. The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not adequately constrain non-discretionary uses that could irrevocably affect the evaluation of these lands for a potential rail line alignment. There are no suitable alternative sites, since the lands described identify the alternative alignments that need to be evaluated. No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the withdrawal. Possible mineral deposits present in the above-described land areas include some locatable and salable minerals. For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the BLM Nevada State Director. Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, Nevada, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

E7-84 Filed 1-9-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-HC-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation [FES-06-53] Transfer of Title to Facilities, Works, and Lands of the Gila Project, Wellton-Mohawk Division, to the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, Yuma County, AZ (Wellton-Mohawk Title Transfer) AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability, Final Environmental Impact Statement, Wellton-Mohawk Title Transfer. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS)to evaluate the potential effects of the proposed Wellton-Mohawk Title Transfer. The title transfer would transfer ownership and divest Reclamation of the responsibility for the operation, maintenance, management, regulation of, and liability for the identified project facilities and appurtenant lands to the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District (District). This title transfer would consolidate management responsibility with the District, thereby allowing them to have greater authority in the management of growth and land-based issues in the Wellton-Mohawk Valley, protect against encroachment on agriculture, and consolidate ownership of lands, facilities, and the Gila River Flood Channel. ADDRESSES: To obtain a compact disc or paper copy of the FEIS, please e-mail Christa Monaco at *cmonaco@lc.usbr.gov* or write Ms. Monaco at the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Regional Office, P.O. Box 61470, Boulder City, NV 89006-1470.

(DEIS)Notice of Availability was published in the **Federal Register** on September 4, 2003 (68 FR 52613). The public review period ended on October 29, 2003. All comments received on the DEIS were carefully reviewed and considered in preparing the FEIS. Where appropriate, responses to comments received from interested organizations and individuals during the review period are addressed in the FEIS. The amount of land to be transferred has been reduced by approximately 8,850 acres from that identified in the Proposed Action of the DEIS. These changes were made to reflect the correct legal land ownership status and in response to concerns raised during consultations with tribal governments. No additional adverse environmental impacts would result from the changes as documented in the FEIS. Reclamation will not make a decision on the proposed action until at least 30 days after Environmental Protection Agency's Notice of Availability of the FEIS is published in the **Federal Register** . After the 30-day waiting period, Reclamation may complete a Record of Decision
(ROD)which would state the action that will be implemented and would discuss all factors leading to the decision. The FEIS will be used in the decision-making process pursuant to the Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Act of June 2000 (Pub. L. 106-221), whereby the Secretary of the Interior was authorized to transfer title to the Wellton-Mohawk Division of the Gila Project works and facilities, and certain federally-owned lands from the United States to the District. The District is a political subdivision of the State of Arizona constituted to own lands and facilities and to contract with Reclamation for diversion of Colorado River water for delivery to its landowners. Reclamation and the District signed a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA)in July 1998, as amended, which defines the methods and principles of this title transfer process. Two alternatives are evaluated in the FEIS:
(1)The No Action Alternative, under which facilities of the Wellton-Mohawk Division of the Gila Project and lands within or adjacent to the Gila Project would remain in Federal ownership, and
(2)the Proposed Action/Preferred Alternative under which Reclamation would transfer title to the facilities of the Wellton-Mohawk Division of the Gila Project and lands within or adjacent to the Gila Project to the District.

The public record for this investigation may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket
(EDIS)at *http://edis.usitc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2005, the Commission instituted an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based on a complaint filed by Broadcom Corporation of Irvine, California, alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation, sale for importation, and sale within the United States after importation of certain baseband processor chips and chipsets, transmitter and receiver (radio) chips, power control chips, and products containing same, including cellular telephone handsets by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,374,311; 6,714,983; 5,682,379 (“the '379 patent”); 6,359,872 (“the '872 patent”); and 6,583,675. 70 FR 35707 (June 21, 2005). The complainant named Qualcomm Incorporated of San Diego, California as the only respondent. The '379 patent and '872 patent were terminated from this investigation. On October 19, 2006, the presiding administrative law judge (“ALJ”) issued an Initial Determination on Violation of Section 337 and Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bond (“ID”), finding a violation of section 337. On December 8, 2006, the Commission issued a notice of its decision to review and modify in part the ALJ's final ID. The Commission also requested the parties to the investigation, interested government agencies, and any other interested persons to file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. On December 11, 2006, the ALJ announced that the public version of the ID will not be available before December 21, 2006. On December 20, the Commission determined to extend by fourteen
(14)days the then-existing deadlines for filing the opening and reply submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The respective deadlines were set as follows:
(1)Written submissions and proposed remedial orders on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding were due no later than close of business on January 5, 2007, and
(2)respective reply submissions were due no later than the close of business on January 17, 2007. The Commission also determined to extend the target date for completion of this investigation by fourteen
(14)days to February 23, 2007. On January 3, 2007, the ALJ's office indicated that the public version of the ID at issue will not be available before Monday, January 8, 2007. Accordingly, the Commission has determined to extend by ten
(10)days after issuance of the public version of the final ID the existing deadline for filing the opening submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The Commission has also determined to extend the existing deadline for filing the respective reply submissions, and the existing target date for completion of this investigation. Thus, the respective deadlines are as follows:
(1)Written opening submissions and proposed remedial orders on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding must be filed no later than close of business on January 18, 2007, and
(2)respective reply submissions must be filed no later than the close of business on January 25, 2007. The Commission has also determined to extend the target date for completion of this investigation by thirteen

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on July 29, 2005, based on a complaint filed by Unilin Beheer B.V., Flooring Industries Ltd., and Unilin Flooring N.C. LLC (collectively “Unilin”). 70 FR 44694 (August 3, 2005). The complaint (as amended) alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (“section 337”) in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain laminated floor panels by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1, 14, 17, 19, 20, 21, 37, 52, 65, and 66 of U.S. Patent No. 6,006,486 (“the ‘486 patent”), claims 1, 2, 10, 13, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, and 27 of U.S. Patent No. 6,490,836 (“the ‘836 patent”), claims 1-6 of U.S. Patent No. 6,874,292 (“the ‘292 patent”), and claims 1, 5, 13, 17, 27, and 28 of U.S. Patent No. 6,928,779 (“the ‘779 patent”). The investigation was subsequently terminated with respect to the ‘486 patent. The Commission named as respondents 32 companies located in Canada, China, South Korea, Malaysia, and the United States. Id. Two respondents have been terminated from the investigation as a result of settlement agreements. On July 3, 2006, the ALJ issued his final initial determination (“ID”), including his recommended determination on remedy and bonding. The complainants, the Commission investigative attorney (“IA”), and several respondents petitioned for review of various portions of the final ID. On September 25, 2006, after considering the final ID, the written submissions and other relevant portions of the record, the Commission determined to review those portions of the ALJ's final ID concerning:
(1)Construction of the “elastically bendable portion” limitation of claim 1 of the ‘836 patent and claim 4 of the ‘292 patent,
(2)infringement of claims 1 and 2 of the '836 patent and claims 3 and 4 of the ‘292 patent;
(3)infringement by the defaulting respondents;
(4)invalidity of the asserted claims of the ‘779 patent; and
(5)the validity of the asserted claims of the ‘836 and ‘292 patents to the extent implicated by the Commission's review described in item (1). The Commission received written submissions on the issues under review and on remedy, the public interest, and bonding. Having examined the record in this investigation, including the submissions on review and responses thereto, the Commission has determined that there is a violation of section 337 with respect to claims 1, 2, 10, 18, and 23 of the ‘836 patent, claims 3 and 4 of the ‘292 patent, and claims 5 and 17 of the ‘779 patent. The Commission has also made determinations on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief is a general exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of laminated floor panels covered by claims 1, 2, 10, 18, and 23 of the ‘836 patent, claims 3 and 4 of the ‘292 patent, and claims 5 and 17 of the ‘779 patent. The Commission has also determined to issue cease and desist orders limited to claim 1 of the ‘836 patent and directed to defaulting domestic respondents Dalton Carpet Liquidators, Inc., Pacific Flooring Manufacture, Inc., P.J. Flooring Distributor, R.A.H. Carpet Supplies, Inc., Salvage Building Material, Inc., Stalheim (USA), Inc., Universal Floor Covering, Inc., and Vegas Laminate Hardwood Floors LLC. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors enumerated in 19 U.S.C. 1337(d), (f), and
(g)do not preclude issuance of the aforementioned remedial orders, and that the bond during the Presidential period of review shall be set at 100 percent of the entered value for any covered laminated floor panels. The authority for the Commission's determinations is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in sections 210.45-210.51 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.45-210.51).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Reopening the Record In March 2003, the Commission made a final affirmative determination in the referenced investigation. The determination was appealed to the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT), which affirmed the Commission upon remand, and was then appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which vacated and remanded the Commission's determination. *Bratsk Aluminum Smelter* v. *United States* , 444 F.3d 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2006). On August 17, 2006, the CIT issued an order remanding the case to the Commission to comply with the Federal Circuit's decision in *Bratsk.* By order of September 22, 2006, the remand proceeding was stayed upon the Commission's motion. On December 22, 2006, the CIT issued an order lifting the stay and giving the Commission 90 days to issue its remand determination. In order to assist it in making its determination on remand, the Commission is reopening the record on remand in this investigation to include additional information on the role of non-subject imports of silicon metal in the U.S. market during the original period of investigation. The record in this proceeding will encompass the material from the record of the original investigation and additional information placed by Commission staff on the record during this remand proceeding. Participation in the Proceeding Only those persons who were interested parties in the original administrative proceeding and are parties to the ongoing litigation (i.e., persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service list and parties to *Bratsk Aluminum Smelter* v. *United States* , Consol. Ct. No. 03-00200) may participate as interested parties in this remand proceeding. Nature of the Remand Proceeding On February 16, 2007, the Commission will make available to parties who are participating in the remand proceeding information that has been gathered by the Commission as part of this remand proceeding. These parties may file comments on or before February 27, 2007 on the legal issues raised in *Bratsk* with respect to non-subject imports and on the information on the record that is relevant to how the Commission addresses these issues in its remand determination. No additional new factual information may be included in such comments. Such comments shall not exceed 25 double-spaced pages. All written submissions must conform with the provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain business proprietary information
(BPI)must also conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. 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 Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 (November 8, 2002). Even where electronic filing of a document is permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as specified in II
(C)of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic Filing Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002). Each document filed by a party participating in the remand investigation must be served on all other parties who may participate in the remand investigation (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. Parties are also advised to consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subpart A (19 CFR part 207), for provisions of general applicability concerning written submissions to the Commission.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments which: • 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; • 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; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • 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. *Agency:* Employee Benefits Security Administration. *Type of Review:* Extension without change of currently approved collection. *Title:* Annual Report for Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (Form M-1). *OMB Number:* 1210-0116. *Frequency:* Annually. *Type of Response:* Reporting. *Affected Public:* Private Sector: Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit institutions. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 515. *Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 515. *Average Response Time:* Approximately 9 minutes (average across all filers). *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 78. *Estimated Total Annualized capital/startup costs:* $0. *Estimated Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing services):* $45,520. *Description:* The Department's regulation at 29 CFR 2520.101-2 requires annual reporting by “multiple employer welfare arrangements,” as defined in section 3(40) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and certain other entities claiming an exception from the ERISA definition of “multiple employer welfare arrangements,” for the purpose of determining the extent to which such entities comply with Part 7 of ERISA. The Department provides a form (Form M-1) for the required reporting and also provides an electronic filing system through which entities may complete the required Form M-1 and file it without cost. Pursuant to section 101(g) of ERISA, the Form M-1 information is used by governmental oversight entities to determine the extent of compliance with the requirements of Part 7 of ERISA by multiple employer welfare arrangements and entities claiming exception under section 3(40) of ERISA and to take appropriate compliance assistance and enforcement actions. *Agency:* Employee Benefits Security Administration. *Type of Review:* Extension without change of currently approved collection. *Title:* ERISA Investment Manager Electronic Registration. *OMB Number:* 1210-0125. *Frequency:* Annually. *Type of Response:* Reporting. *Affected Public:* Private Sector: Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit institutions. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 500. *Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 500. *Average Response Time:* 2 hours for new filers and 1 hour for existing annual filers. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 550. *Estimated Total Annualized capital/startup costs:* $0. *Estimated Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing services):* $17,500. *Description:* The Department's regulation at 29 CFR 2510.3-38 provides that, in order to meet the definition of investment manager in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 3(38), state-registered investment advisers must register electronically through a centralized electronic filing system established by the Securities and Extension Commission and state investment authorities (“Investment Advisor Registration Depository”/ IARD) rather than providing a paper copy of their state registration to the Secretary of Labor. Although the primary users of the information collected through the Department's regulation are plan fiduciaries, who can review the IARD registration statements for information about investment advisers that are either currently service providers to the plan or potential service providers to the plan, EBSA also uses the information for enforcement and compliance purposes. EBSA investigators are expected to review IARD data whenever they conduct an investigation that involves investment advisers or investment managers. Darrin A.

The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on November 28, 2006 (71 FR 68840). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of kid's and adults' sleepwear. New findings show that there was a previous certification, TA-W-54,637, issued on May 4, 2004, covering the identical worker group as the subject firm, who were engaged in employment related to the production of kid's and adults' sleepwear. That certification expired on May 4, 2006. To avoid an overlap in worker group coverage, the certification is being amended to change the impact date from October 23, 2005 to May 5, 2006, for workers of the subject firm. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,353 is hereby issued as follows: “All workers of Rice Mills, Incorporated, Belton, South Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 5, 2006, through November 16, 2008, 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 at Washington, DC this 21st day of December 2006.

The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40159). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows that a worker separation has occurred involving an employee of the Austin, Texas facility of Staktek Group L.P., located in Poughquag, New York. Mr. Jerry Barbaro provided sales function services related to the production of stacked memory chips produced by the subject firm. Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include employees of the Austin, Texas facility of Staktek Group L.P. located in Poughquag, New York. The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Staktek L.P., Austin, Texas who were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,283 is hereby issued as follows: “All workers of Staktek Group L.P., Austin, Texas (TA-W-59,283), and including an employee located in Poughquag, New York (TA-W-59,283A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 25, 2005, through June 7, 2008, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.” I further determine that all workers of Staktek Group L.P., Austin, Texas are denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Employment Standards Administration is soliciting comments concerning the proposed collection: Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Report for Transportation Subject to Department of Transportation Requirements (WH-514); Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Report for Transportation Subject to Department of Labor Safety Standards (WH-514a) and Doctor's Certificate (WH-515).

(MSPA)section 401 (29 U.S.C. 1841) requires, subject to certain exceptions, all Farm Labor Contractors (FLCs), Agricultural Employers (AGERs), and Agricultural Associations (AGASs) to ensure that any vehicle they use or cause to be used to transport or drive any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker conforms to safety and health standards prescribed by the Secretary of Labor under the MSPA and with other applicable Federal and State safety standards. These MSPA safety standards address the vehicle, driver, and insurance. The Wage and Hour Division
(WHD)has created Forms WH-514, WH-514a, and WH-515, which allow FLC applicants to verify to the WHD that the vehicles used to transport migrant/seasonal agricultural workers meet the MSPA vehicle safety standards and that anyone who drives such workers meets the Act's minimum physical requirements. The WHD uses the information in deciding whether to authorize the FLC/FLC Employee applicant to transport/drive any migrant/seasonal agricultural workers or to cause such transportation. Form WH-514 is used to verify that any vehicle used or caused to be used to transport any migrant/seasonal agricultural worker(s) meets the Department of Transportation
(DOT)safety standards. When the adopted DOT rules do not apply, FLC applicants seeking authorization to transport any migrant/seasonal agricultural workers use Form WH-514a to verify that the vehicles meet the DOL safety standards and upon the vehicle meeting the required safety standards, the form is completed. Form WH-515 is a doctor's certificate used to document that a motor vehicle driver or operator meets the minimum DOT physical requirements that the DOL has adopted. This information collection is currently approved for use through July 31, 2007. II. Review Focus The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which: • 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; • 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; • Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and • 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 submissions of responses. III. Current Actions The Department of Labor seeks approval for the extension of this information collection in order to verify that farm labor contractors, agricultural employers, and agricultural associations have complied with the applicable safety standards. *Type of Review:* Extension. *Agency:* Employment Standards Administration. *Title:* Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Report for Transportation Subject to Department of Transportation Requirements (WH-514); Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Report for Transportation Subject to Department of Labor Safety Standards (WH-514a); Doctor's Certificate (WH-515). *OMB Number:* 1215-0036. *Agency Number:* WH-514, WH-514a, and WH-515. *Affected Public:* Business or other for profit; Farms. *Total Respondents:* 2,400. *Total Responses:* 3,900. *Average Time per Response:* 5 minutes. *Average Time per Response for Recordkeeping:* 1 minute. *Estimated Recordkeeping Hours:* 35 hours. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 360 hours. *Frequency:* On Occasion. *Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):* $0. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance):* $215,100.

(OWCP)is the federal agency responsible for administration of the War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA), 42 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. Under section 1704(a) of the WHCA, an insurance carrier or self-insured who has paid workers' compensation benefits to or on account of any person for a war-risk hazard may seek reimbursement for benefits paid (plus expenses) out of the Employees Compensation Fund for the Federal Employees' Compensation Act
(FECA)at 5 U.S.C. 8147. The information collected by Form CA-278 is used by insurance carriers and the self-insured to request reimbursement. The information collected is used by OWCP staff to process requests for reimbursement of WHCA benefit payments and claims expense that are submitted by insurance carriers and self-insureds. The information is also used by OWCP to decide whether it should opt to pay ongoing WHCA benefits directly to the injured worker. This information collection is currently approved for use through June 30, 2007. II.

E7-160 Filed 1-9-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-CH-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 40-8838-MLA; ASLBP No. 00-776-04-MLA] Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Before Administrative Judges: Alan S. Rosenthal, Chairman, Dr. Paul B. Abramson, Dr. Richard F. Cole; In the Matter of U.S. Army (Jefferson Proving Ground Site); Notice of Hearing (Application for Materials License Amendment) January 4, 2007. This proceeding involves the May 25, 2005 application submitted by the Department of the Army (Licensee) for an amendment to its NRC materials license (License No. SUB-1435). The amendment would authorize an alternate schedule for the submittal to the NRC Staff of a decommissioning plan for the Licensee's Jefferson Proving Ground
(JPG)site located in Madison, Indiana. Such a plan is required because there is currently amassed on that site a considerable quantity of depleted uranium
(DU)munitions, the result of the Licensee's conduct, between 1984 and 1994 and under the auspices of the NRC materials license, of accuracy testing of DU tank penetration rounds. On December 9, 2005, this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established by the Commission to preside over the proceeding. On February 2, 2006, this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board granted a petition to intervene and request for hearing filed by Save the Valley, Inc., and deferred any hearing pending the completion of the NRC Staff's technical review. LBP-06-06, 63 NRC 167, 185-86 (2006). On December 20, 2006, after the completion of the Staff's technical review and issuance of the requested license amendment, this Board issued a Memorandum and Order in which we determined the scope of the evidentiary hearing. LBP-06-27, 64 NRC_(slip op.) (Dec. 20, 2006). In light of the foregoing, please take notice that a hearing will be conducted in this proceeding. The hearing will be governed by the informal hearing procedures set forth in 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart L (10 CFR 2.1200-.1213). During the course of the proceeding, the Board may conduct an oral argument ( *id.* § 2.331), may hold pre-hearing conferences ( *id.* § 2.329), and may conduct evidentiary hearings ( *id.* § 2.1207). The public is invited to attend any oral argument, pre-hearing conference, or evidentiary hearing unless otherwise ordered by the Commission ( *id.* §§ 2.327(b), 2.328).

Additionally, as provided in 10 CFR 2.315(a), any person not a party to the proceeding may submit a written limited appearance statement setting forth his or her position on the issues in this proceeding.

Persons wishing to submit a written limited appearance statement should send it by mail to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff.
