BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Navy Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Kilo Wharf Extension, Apra Harbor Naval Complex, Guam, Mariana Islands AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)of 1969, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy

(DON)has prepared and filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)a Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of the proposed Kilo Wharf Extension, Apra Harbor Naval Complex (AHNC), Guam, Mariana Islands. The DON will conduct one public hearing to receive oral and written comments on the Draft EIS. Federal, Territorial, local agencies and interested individuals are invited to be present or represented at the public hearing. DON representatives will be available to clarify information related to the Draft EIS. This notice announces the date and location of the public hearing for this Draft EIS. DATES AND ADDRESSES: A public hearing will be held on Wednesday, March 28, 2007, at 6 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Guam, 1155 Pale San Vitores Road, Tuman Bay, Guam, Mariana Islands. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific, 258 Makalapa Drive, Suite 100, Pearl Harbor, HI 96860-3134, *Attn:* Ms. Nora Macariola-See, telephone 808-472-1402, facsimile 808-474-5419, *E-mail: kiloeis@navy.mil* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent to prepare this Draft EIS was published in the **Federal Register** on July 29, 2005 (70 FR 43848). Two public scoping meetings were held on Guam, Mariana Islands. The first public scoping meeting was held on August 30, 2005, at the Guam Hilton, 202 Hilton Road, Tumon Bay, Guam. The second public scoping meeting was originally scheduled to be held on August 31, 2005, but rescheduled due to typhoon warnings to September 2, 2005, at the Santa Rita Community Center, 183 A.B. Won Pat Lane, Santa Rita, Guam. The proposed action is to provide adequate berthing facilities (including shore utilities and wharf-side handling area) to support the T-AKE which is a new class of multi-purpose dry cargo/ammunition ship that will replace existing ammunition ships currently forward deployed to the AHNC, Guam. As part of its ordnance support function, Commander, Navy Region Marianas (COMNAVREGMARIANAS) is charged with providing adequate facilities for the new T-AKE vessels scheduled to be in service in Guam in fiscal year 2010. The new T-AKE will be homeported in San Diego, CA, with two ships forward deployed to AHNC as ammunition ships serving Guam, Asia, the Western Pacific, and the Middle East. The two T-AKE ships will replace two T-AE ammunition ships that are currently forward-deployed to Guam. The existing Kilo Wharf, located within the AHNC in Outer Apra Harbor, is 400-feet

(ft)long (122 meters (m)), and is the DoD's only dedicated ammunition wharf in the Western Pacific Region. The T-AKE is 689 ft (210 m) long, and requires 800 ft (244 m) for berthing. The proposed action is needed because Kilo Wharf is inadequate to support the T-AKE and there are no other suitable facilities on Guam available to accommodate this class of ammunition ship. The new wharf facilities must meet DoD technical design standards to ensure safe and efficient ordnance loading/offloading for the T-AKE. COMNAVREGMARIANAS evaluated a rane of alternatives that would meet action objectives, and applied screening criteria to identify those alternatives that were “reasonable” (i.e., practical and feasible from an operations, technical, and economic standpoint). Reasonable alternatives were carried through the Draft EIS analysis. The Draft EIS considers three alternatives:

(1)Extending Kilo Wharf by 400 ft (122 m) to the west (“West Extension Alternative”),

(2)extending Kilo Wharf by 115 ft (35 m) to the east and 285 ft (87 m) to the west (“East-West Extension Alternative”), and

(3)the No-Action Alternative, considered in accordance with Section 1502.14(d) of the NEPA regulation. The West Extension Alternative is considered the Preferred Alternative. Both the West Extension Alternative and the East-West Extension Alternative would provide adequate berthing for the T-AKE in accordance with DoD technical design standards, and include utility and infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the T-AKE. The Draft EIS also considers the No Action Alternative, which assumes that the T-AKE would be berthed at the existing Kilo Wharf with no wharf improvements or utility and infrastructure upgrade. The Draft EIS evaluates the environmental effects associated with the wharf construction on the physical environment, land and water use, the social and economic environment, infrastructure and services, cultural resources, hazardous and regulated materials and waste, and biological resources, including marine habitats that provide ecological services. Methods to reduce or minimize impacts to affected marine habitats are also addressed. The analysis includes an evaluation of the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts. Implementation of the proposed action is not expected to result in any significant short or long term impacts on physical, socioeconomic, or biological resources, however, there would be unavoidable adverse impacts to limited areas of marine benthic habitat. The Draft EIS has been distributed to various Federal and Territorial agencies, elected officials, special interest groups, and interested parties, and is available for public review at the following public libraries:

(1)Nieves M. Flores Memorial Library, 254 Martyr Street, Hagatna, Guam 96910;

(2)Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Library, University of Guam, 303 University Drive, Mangilao, Guam 96923. The DON will conduct a public hearing to receive oral and written comments concerning the Draft EIS. The public hearing will include a brief presentation followed by a request for comments on the Draft EIS. Federal, Territorial, and local agencies, and interested parties are invited to be present or represented at the hearings. Those who intend to speak will be asked to submit a speaker card (available at the door). Oral comments will be electronically recorded and transcribed by a stenographer. To assure accuracy of the record, all statements, both oral and written, will become part of the public record on the Draft EIS and will be responded to in the Final EIS. Equal weight will be given to both oral and written statements. In the interest of available time and to ensure that all who wish to give an oral statement have the opportunity to do so, each speaker's comments will be limited to three minutes. If a longer statement is to be presented, it should be summarized at the public hearing and the full text submitted in writing either at the hearing or faxed or mailed to: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific, 258 Makalapa Drive, Ste 100, Pearl Harbor, HI 96860-3134, *Attn:* Ms. Nora Macariola-See, facsimile 808-474-5419, *E-mail: kiloeis@navy.mil* . All written comments postmarked by April 23, 2007, will become part of the official public record and will be responded to in the Final EIS. Dated: March 6, 2007. M.C. Holley, Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register Liaison Officer. [FR Doc.

(FY)2007 Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

(CFDA)Number: 84.165A. *Dates:* *Applications Available:* March 9, 2007. *Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply:* April 6, 2007. *Deadline for Transmittal of Applications:* April 27, 2007. *Deadline for Intergovernmental Review:* June 27, 2007. *Eligible Applicants:* Local educational agencies

(LEAs)or consortia of LEAs. *Estimated Available Funds:* $100,000,000. *Estimated Range of Awards:* $350,000-$4,000,000 per year. *Estimated Average Size of Awards:* $2,500,000 per year. *Maximum Award:* We will not fund any application at an amount exceeding the maximum amount of $4,000,000 per year specified in section 5309(c) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended

(ESEA)for a single fiscal year. We may choose not to further consider or review applications with budget requests for any 12-month budget period that exceed this amount, if we conclude, during our initial review of the application, that the proposed goals and objectives cannot be obtained with the specified maximum amount. *Estimated Number of Awards:* 40. Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this notice. *Project Period:* Up to 36 months. Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description *Purpose of Program:* The MSAP provides grants to eligible LEAs and consortia of LEAs to support magnet schools that are part of an approved desegregation plan. Through the implementation of magnet schools, these program resources can be used in pursuit of the objectives of the ESEA, which supports State and local efforts to enable all elementary and secondary students to achieve to high standards and holds schools, LEAs, and States accountable for ensuring that their students do so. In particular, the MSAP provides an opportunity for eligible entities to focus on expanding their capacity to provide public school choice to students who attend schools identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I, Part A of the ESEA (Title I). *Priorities:* This competition includes four competitive preference priorities and one invitational priority that are explained in the following paragraphs. *Competitive Preference Priorities:* In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii), Priorities 1, 2 and 3 are from the regulations for this program (34 CFR 280.32). Priority 4 is from the notice of final priority for this program (NFP), published elsewhere in this issue of the **Federal Register** . For FY 2007 these priorities are competitive preference priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to an additional 40 points depending on how well the application meets these priorities. The maximum possible points for each priority are indicated in parentheses following the name of the competitive preference priority. These points are in addition to any points the application earns under the selection criteria. *These priorities are:* *Priority 1—Need for assistance* (up to 10 additional points). The Secretary evaluates the applicant's needs for assistance under the MSAP regulations in 34 CFR part 280, by considering—

(a)The costs of fully implementing the magnet schools project as proposed;

(b)The resources available to the applicant to carry out the project if funds under the program were not provided;

(c)The extent to which the costs of the project exceed the applicant's resources; and

(d)The difficulty of effectively carrying out the approved plan and the project for which assistance is sought, including consideration of how the design of the magnet schools project—e.g., the type of program proposed, the location of the magnet school within the LEA—impacts on the applicant's ability to successfully carry out the approved plan. *Priority 2—New or revised magnet schools projects* (up to 10 additional points). The Secretary determines the extent to which the applicant proposes to carry out new magnet schools projects or significantly revise existing magnet schools projects. *Priority 3—Selection of students* (up to 10 additional points). The Secretary determines the extent to which the applicant proposes to select students to attend magnet schools by methods such as lottery, rather than through academic examination. *Priority 4—Expanding Capacity to Provide Choice* (up to 10 additional points). This priority supports projects that will—

(1)Help parents whose children attend low-performing schools (that is, schools that have been identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I of the ESEA) by—

(a)Selecting schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I as magnet schools to be funded under this project and improving the quality of teaching and instruction in these schools; or

(b)Maximizing the opportunity for students in low-performing schools to attend higher-performing magnet schools funded under the project and thereby reduce minority group isolation in the low-performing sending schools; and

(2)Effectively inform parents whose children attend low-performing schools about choices that are available to them in the magnet schools to be funded under the project. Note: For the purpose of selecting applications under this priority, *school improvement* has the meaning given in 34 CFR 200.32(a)(1), *corrective action* has the meaning given in 34 CFR 200.33(a), and *restructuring* has the meaning given in 34 CFR 200.34(a). *Invitational Priority:* For FY 2007 this priority is an invitational priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give an application that meets this invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications. This priority is: *Priority 5—Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Evaluation Designs.* This invitational priority supports projects proposing an evaluation plan that is based on rigorous scientifically based research methods to assess the effectiveness of a particular intervention. The Secretary intends that this priority will allow program participants and the Department to determine whether the project produces meaningful effects on student achievement or teacher performance. Evaluation methods using an experimental design are best for determining project effectiveness. Thus, when feasible, the project must use an experimental design under which participants—e.g., students, teachers, classrooms, or schools—are randomly assigned to participate in the project activities being evaluated or to a control group that does not participate in the project activities being evaluated. If random assignment is not feasible, the project may use a quasi-experimental design with carefully matched comparison conditions. This alternative design attempts to approximate a randomly assigned control group by matching participants—e.g., students, teachers, classrooms, or schools—with non-participants having similar pre-program characteristics. In cases where random assignment is not possible and participation in the intervention is determined by a specified cutting point on a quantified continuum of scores, regression discontinuity designs may be employed. For projects that are focused on special populations in which sufficient numbers of participants are not available to support random assignment or matched comparison group designs, single-subject designs such as multiple baseline or treatment-reversal or interrupted time series that are capable of demonstrating causal relationships can be employed. Proposed evaluation strategies that use neither experimental designs with random assignment nor quasi-experimental designs using a matched comparison group nor regression discontinuity designs will not be considered responsive to the priority when sufficient numbers of participants are available to support these designs. Evaluation strategies that involve too small a number of participants to support group designs must be capable of demonstrating the causal effects of an intervention or program on those participants. The proposed evaluation plan must describe how the project evaluator will collect—before the project intervention commences and after it ends—valid and reliable data that measure the impact of participation in the program or in the comparison group. In determining the quality of the evaluation method, we will consider the extent to which the applicant presents a feasible, credible plan that includes the following:

(1)The type of design to be used (that is, random assignment or matched comparison). If matched comparison, include in the plan a discussion of why random assignment is not feasible.

(2)Outcomes to be measured.

(3)A discussion of how the applicant plans to assign students, teachers, classrooms, or schools to the project and control group or match them for comparison with other students, teachers, classrooms, or schools.

(4)A proposed evaluator, preferably independent, with the necessary background and technical expertise to carry out the proposed evaluation. An independent evaluator does not have any authority over the project and is not involved in its implementation. Definitions As used in this invitational priority— *Scientifically based research* (section 9101(37) of the ESEA as amended, 20 U.S.C. 7801(37)):

(A)Means research that involves the application of rigorous, systematic, and objective procedures to obtain reliable and valid knowledge relevant to education activities and programs; and

(B)Includes research that—

(i)Employs systematic, empirical methods that draw on observation or experiment;

(ii)Involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate to test the stated hypotheses and justify the general conclusions drawn;

(iii)Relies on measurements or observational methods that provide reliable and valid data across evaluators and observers, across multiple measurements and observations, and across studies by the same or different investigators;

(iv)Is evaluated using experimental or quasi-experimental designs in which individuals, entities, programs, or activities are assigned to different conditions and with appropriate controls to evaluate the effects of the condition of interest, with a preference for random-assignment experiments, or other designs to the extent that those designs contain within-condition or across-condition controls;

(v)Ensures that experimental studies are presented in sufficient detail and clarity to allow for replication or, at a minimum, offer the opportunity to build systematically on their findings; and

(vi)Has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or approved by a panel of independent experts through a comparably rigorous, objective, and scientific review. *Random assignment or experimental design* means random assignment of students, teachers, classrooms, or schools to participate in a project being evaluated (treatment group) or not participate in the project (control group). The effect of the project is the difference in outcomes between the treatment and control groups. *Quasi experimental designs* include several designs that attempt to approximate a random assignment design. *Carefully matched comparison groups design* means a quasi-experimental design in which project participants are matched with non-participants based on key characteristics that are thought to be related to the outcome. *Regression discontinuity design* means a quasi-experimental design that closely approximates an experimental design. In a regression discontinuity design, participants are assigned to a treatment or control group based on a numerical rating or score of a variable unrelated to the treatment such as the rating of an application for funding. Eligible students, teachers, classrooms, or schools above a certain score (“cut score”) are assigned to the treatment group and those below the score are assigned to the control group. In the case of the scores of applicants' proposals for funding, the “cut score” is established at the point where the program funds available are exhausted. *Single subject design* means a design that relies on the comparison of treatment effects on a single subject or group of single subjects. There is little confidence that findings based on this design would be the same for other members of the population. *Treatment reversal design* means a single subject design in which a pre-treatment or baseline outcome measurement is compared with a post-treatment measure. Treatment would then be stopped for a period of time, a second baseline measure of the outcome would be taken, followed by a second application of the treatment or a different treatment. For example, this design might be used to evaluate a behavior modification program for disabled students with behavior disorders. *Multiple baseline design* means a single subject design to address concerns about the effects of normal development, timing of the treatment, and amount of the treatment with treatment-reversal designs by using a varying time schedule for introduction of the treatment and/or treatments of different lengths or intensity. *Interrupted time series design* means a quasi-experimental design in which the outcome of interest is measured multiple times before and after the treatment for program participants only.

We may choose not to further consider or review applications with budget requests for any 12-month budget period that exceed this amount, if we conclude, during our initial review of the application, that the proposed goals and objectives cannot be obtained with the specified maximum amount. *Estimated Number of Awards:* 40. Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this notice. *Project Period:* Up to 36 months. III. Eligibility Information 1. *Eligible Applicants:* LEAs or consortia of LEAs. 2. *Cost Sharing or Matching:* This program does not involve cost sharing or matching. 3. *Other:* Applicants must submit with their applications one of the following types of plans to establish eligibility to receive MSAP assistance:

(a)A desegregation plan required by a court order;

(b)a plan required by a State agency or an official of competent jurisdiction;

(c)a plan required by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), United States Department of Education (ED), under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI plan); or

(d)a voluntary plan adopted by the applicant and submitted to us for approval as part of the application. Under the MSAP regulations, applicants are required to provide all of the information required in 34 CFR 280.20(a) through

(g)in order to satisfy the civil rights eligibility requirements found in 34 CFR 280.2(a)(2) and (b). In addition to the particular data and other items for required and voluntary plans described in the application package, an application must include— • Signed civil rights assurances (included in the application package); • A copy of the applicant's plan; and • An assurance that the plan is being implemented or will be implemented if the application is funded. Required Plans 1. *Plans required by a court order.* An applicant that submits a plan required by a court order must submit complete and signed copies of all court or State documents demonstrating that the magnet schools are a part of the approved plan. Examples of the types of documents that would meet this requirement include— • A Federal or State court order that establishes or amends a previous order or orders by establishing additional or different specific magnet schools; • A Federal or State court order that requires or approves the establishment of one or more unspecified magnet schools or that authorizes the inclusion of magnet schools at the discretion of the applicant. 2. *Plans required by a State agency or official of competent jurisdiction.* An applicant submitting a plan ordered by a State agency or official of competent jurisdiction must provide documentation that shows that the plan was ordered based upon a determination that State law was violated. In the absence of this documentation, the applicant should consider its plan to be a voluntary plan and submit the data and information necessary for voluntary plans. 3. *Title VI required plans.* An applicant that submits a plan required by OCR under Title VI must submit a complete copy of the plan demonstrating that magnet schools are part of the approved plan. 4. *Modifications to required plans.* A previously approved desegregation plan that does not include the magnet school or program for which the applicant is now seeking assistance must be modified to include the magnet school component. The modification to the plan must be approved by the court, agency, or official that originally approved the plan. An applicant that wishes to modify a previously approved OCR Title VI plan to include different or additional magnet schools must submit the proposed modification for review and approval to the OCR regional office that approved its original plan. An applicant should indicate in its application if it is seeking to modify its previously approved plan. However, all applicants must submit proof of approval of all modifications to their plans to ED by June 1, 2007. Proof of plan modifications should be mailed to the person and address identified in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT elsewhere in this notice. Voluntary Plans A voluntary plan must be approved by ED each time an application is submitted for funding. Even if ED has approved a voluntary plan in an LEA in the past, the plan must be resubmitted for approval as part of the application. The enrollment and other information as required by the regulations in 34 CFR 280.20(f) and

(g)for applicants with voluntary plans (specific requirements are detailed in the application package) are critical to our determination of an applicant's eligibility under a voluntary plan. The purposes of the MSAP include the reduction, elimination, or prevention of minority group isolation. All voluntary plans proposed in an LEA's application must be adequate under Title VI. The Department believes that LEAs submitting voluntary plans can achieve the statutory purposes of reducing, eliminating, or preventing minority group isolation using race-neutral admissions practices. The United States Supreme Court is expected to provide additional guidance about the use of race in voluntary plans in two cases prior to the award of FY 2007 grants. The Department will examine the implications of those decisions on the MSAP program when making FY 2007 awards. IV.

E7-4271 Filed 3-8-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000-01-P DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Magnet Schools Assistance Program AGENCY: Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of final priority. SUMMARY: The Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement announces a priority under the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP). The Assistant Deputy Secretary may use this priority for competitions in fiscal year

(FY)2007 and later years. We intend this priority to encourage eligible applicants to focus on expanding their capacity to provide public school choice by using magnet schools to provide public school choice options to parents whose children attend schools that have been identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA). DATES: *Effective Date:* This priority is effective April 9, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven L. Brockhouse, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 4W229, Washington, DC 20202-5970. *Telephone:*

(202)260-2476 *or via Internet: steve.brockhouse@ed.gov* . If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the Federal Relay Service

Individuals with disabilities may obtain 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: The MSAP provides grants to eligible local educational agencies

(LEAs)and consortia of LEAs to support magnet schools that are part of an approved desegregation plan. For the purpose of the MSAP, a magnet school is a public elementary school, public secondary school, public elementary education center, or public secondary education center that offers a special curriculum capable of attracting substantial numbers of students of different racial backgrounds. Through the implementation of magnet schools, MSAP resources support objectives and activities that enable all elementary and secondary students to achieve to high standards, hold schools and LEAs accountable for ensuring they do so, and help schools and LEAs develop and design innovative educational methods and practices that support desegregation efforts to eliminate, reduce, or prevent minority group isolation and increase choices in public elementary and secondary schools. Consistent with the statutory purpose of the MSAP, magnet schools are designed to eliminate, reduce, or prevent minority group isolation in schools with substantial numbers or percentages of minority group students, bring students of different backgrounds together, assist LEAs in achieving systemic reforms, provide all students the opportunity to meet challenging State content standards and challenging State performance standards, and increase choices in public elementary and secondary schools. The priority, Expanding Capacity to Provide Choice, provides eligible LEAs with an opportunity to continue to use magnet schools, consistent with their desegregation plan objectives for the elimination, reduction, or prevention of minority group isolation, to expand their capacity to provide public school choice to parents whose children attend schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring. The priority provides eligible applicants the flexibility to use either or both of two approaches to expanding their capacity to provide public school choice. First, an eligible applicant could convert one or more schools identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I to magnet schools in order to improve the quality of teaching and instruction in these schools. Using this approach, conversion of a school to a magnet school would benefit students already attending the school by offering a magnet curriculum that would include subject matter or teaching methodology that is generally not available at other schools in the LEA and would be more challenging and innovative than the curricular program that the school had previously provided. The implementation of the magnet curriculum, along with resources such as equipment, supplies and staff development to support the implementation of the magnet curriculum, would also help the school reduce, eliminate, or prevent minority group isolation at the magnet school and/or at the sending schools by attracting other students, including higher-achieving students of different backgrounds, based on their interest in a curricular program that would not be available to them in the schools that they would otherwise attend. Second, an eligible applicant could use higher-performing schools as magnet schools and, by doing so, significantly increase the opportunity for students attending schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring to participate in public school choice by attending a higher-performing school. Using this approach, an eligible applicant would need to ensure that the magnet school would have sufficient space available to accommodate students who would likely be interested in transferring from schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring. Additionally, the LEA would need to show how the enrollment of the magnet and/or sending schools (i.e., the schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring from which students would transfer) would change in a manner that resulted in the elimination, reduction, or prevention of minority group isolation in those sending schools. Under either approach, an applicant would be required to show how it would effectively inform parents whose children attend schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring about the new choices made available to them in the magnet schools to be funded under the project. We published a notice of proposed priority for this program in the **Federal Register** on April 12, 2006 (71 FR 18728). There are no differences between the notice of proposed priority and this notice of final priority. Public Comment In the notice of proposed priority, we invited comments on the proposed priority. We did not receive any comments. Note: This notice does not solicit applications. In any year in which we choose to use this priority, we invite applications through a notice in the **Federal Register** . When inviting applications we designate the priority as absolute, competitive preference, or invitational. The effect of each type of priority follows: *Absolute priority:* Under an absolute priority we consider only applications that meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)). *Competitive preference priority:* Under a competitive preference priority we give competitive preference to an application by either

(1)awarding additional points, depending on how well or the extent to which the application meets the competitive preference priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or

(2)selecting an application that meets the competitive preference priority over an application of comparable merit that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(ii)). *Invitational priority:* Under an invitational priority we are particularly interested in applications that meet the invitational priority. However, we do not give an application that meets the invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications (34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)). Priority Expanding Capacity To Provide Choice This priority supports projects that will—

The EPA Docket Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. Deliveries are only accepted during the Docket Center's normal hours of operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed information. Direct your comments to the specific docket listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION , section II. B, and reference the OMB Control Number for the ICR. It is EPA's policy that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change and may be made available online at *http://www.regulations.gov* , including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business Information

(CBI)or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through *www.regulations.gov* or e-mail. The *http://www.regulations.gov* Web site is an “anonymous access” system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through *www.regulations.gov* , your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM that you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at *http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.* B. What information is EPA particularly interested in? Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to:

(1)Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility.

(2)Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens of the proposed collections of information.

(3)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.

(4)Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. C. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES. 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. II. ICRs to Be Renewed A. For All ICRs The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently approved ICRs listed in this notice. Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks and made assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the PRA. 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 to; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The listed ICRs address Clean Air Act information collection requirements in standards ( *i.e.* , regulations) which have mandatory recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Records collected under the New Source Performance Standards

(NSPS)must be retained by the owner or operator for at least two years and the records collected under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must be retained by the owner or operator for at least five years. In general, the required collections consist of emissions data and other information deemed not to be private. In the absence of such information collection requirements, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis as required by the Clean Air Act. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless the Agency displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations are published in the **Federal Register** , or on the related collection instrument or form. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated at 40 CFR part 9. B. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to? In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), this notice announces that EPA is planning to submit the following thirty-one continuing Information Collection Requests

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: General Information In 2001, the first National Coastal Condition Report was released, characterizing about 70% of the estuarine resources of the United States. Using available data from 1990-1996, EPA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA)determined that the Nation's estuarine resources were in fair condition and presented this information in the first Report. The second National Coastal Condition Report, released in 2005, described the condition of 100% of the Nation's estuaries in the contiguous 48 states and Puerto Rico. This third edition of the National Coastal Condition Report serves as a continuing foundation for the Nation's efforts to protect, manage, and restore coastal ecosystems. Four Federal agencies (EPA, NOAA, USGS and the USFWS) and several state and regional/local organizations have come together to report on the current condition of the Nation's coasts. The draft National Coastal Condition Report III describes the condition of coastal waters based on several available data sets from different agencies and areas of the country and summarizes them to present a continuing picture of the condition of coastal waters. Although the data sets presented do not cover all coastal areas (e.g., no data were collected in Alaska other than south central Alaska and the Trust Territories), they do provide a multi-regional assessment of coastal condition in the conterminous United States and Puerto Rico. For example, EPA's National Coastal Assessment is conducting estuarine monitoring in all 23 coastal states and Puerto Rico, accounting for 99.8% of estuarine acreage in the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico. Data from several regional and national programs conducted by NOAA, USGS and the USFWS are included in this assessment of coastal condition. This report serves as a useful tool for analyzing the progress of coastal programs implemented since the first Report and as a benchmark for the future and provides trends in condition over time. This report will be followed in subsequent years by reports focusing on continuing assessments of ecological condition, examinations of the trends in coastal condition, and assessments of more specialized coastal issues. The draft National Coastal Condition Report III will undergo an external peer review conducted by EPA's Office of Research and Development. The peer review plan, including peer review charge questions, is available on EPA's Science Inventory Web site ( *http://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_record_view.cfm?dirEntryID=161923* ).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9601 *et seq.,* and the authority of the Attorney General of the United States to compromise and settle claims of the United States, notice is hereby given of a proposed administrative settlement resolving, subject to reservations and limitations, liability that owners of the St. Joe Chat Pile and of the underlying property located in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, might otherwise incur under CERCLA Sections 106 or 107, 42 U.S.C. 9606, or 9607, arising from the sale of chat on the property in question. The settlement is entered into by the United States on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Chat is a gravel-like mine refuse or mine tailings that is generally contaminated with the hazardous substances lead, cadmium and zinc. Approximately 49 million cubic yards of chat, including the St. Joe Pile, pollute the Tar Creek Superfund Site (Site). The Site is located in an approximately 40-square-mile area in northern Ottawa County, Oklahoma. The Site was mined for lead and zinc ore from the late 1800's through the early 1970's, and chat is part of the waste material left behind by the mining and milling activity. EPA has determined that one of the best ways to address contaminated chat piles on the Site is to sell and remove the chat for use in a manner that will not present a threat to human health or to the environment. Sale and removal of the chat will reduce the costs of additional response actions for the Site. The purpose of this Settlement Agreement is to encourage the sale of the chat in the St. Joe Chat Pile, by resolving certain liabilities of those with interests in the chat or in the property containing the chat, thereby helping free the chat for sale. Under the settlement, settlors (chat owners and property owners) agree to execute an agreement for the sale of the chat pile (if they own an interest in the chat), to provide access, and to refrain from activities that would inhibit sales. The settlement also includes settlors' agreement not to sue the United States regarding any direct or indirect claim for reimbursement from the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 9507, through CERCLA Sections 106(b)(2), 111, 112, and 113, any claim under CERCLA Sections 107 or 113, or under any citizen suit provision of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9659, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6972, the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7604, the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1365, or any other similar statues or other applicable environmental laws. In return, subject to reservations and limitations, the United States covenants not to sue or take civil judicial or administrative action against the settlors pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, and 9607, or other applicable law, for liability of response actions and/or claims for natural resource damages arising from the sale of the chat. For thirty

(30)days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the settlement. The Agency will consider all comments received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the settlement if comments received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
