Pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1 *et seq.* ), the Department has determined that this discussion will concern matters which, if disclosed, would be likely to frustrate significantly the implementation of a proposed agency action.

ACTION: Notice of realty action. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)has examined and determined that one parcel of public land, approximately 47 acres, located in Custer County, Idaho is suitable for a renewable, 10-year agricultural use lease to Karen and Sydney Dowton (Lessee), pursuant to Section 302(b) of the Federal Land Policy Management Act of 1976, as amended. Annual rental will be at no less than the appraised fair market value. DATES: Interested parties may submit comments to the BLM Challis Field Office Manager, at the below stated address. Comments must be received by not later than May 21, 2007. Only written comments will be accepted. ADDRESSES: Address all written comments concerning this Notice to David Rosenkrance, BLM Challis Field Manager, 801 Blue Mountain Rd., Challis, Idaho 83226-9304. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Vanek, Realty Specialist, at the above address or call:
(208)879-6218. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 12, 2004, Interior Board of Land Appeals
(IBLA)oversaw a settlement (IBLA 99-344) between appellant Sydney Dowton and respondent, Bureau of Land Management. Item 3 of the settlement agreement stated: “Mr. Dowton reserves the right to, and the dismissal of this matter is without prejudice to his right to, file a color-of-title application with the BLM concerning the same Parcel 1 that is at issue here. That color-of-title shall be submitted under the authority of 43 CFR part 2540 and other applicable statutes and regulations. Parcel 1 is generally referred to in this manner as that land located north of the current channel of the Salmon River in lot 2, Section 26, Township 16 North, Range 20 East, of the Boise Meridian.” Mr. Dowton did file a color-of-title application with the BLM Idaho State Office on March 1, 2004, for Parcel 1. The application was identified as: serial number IDI-34592 and was rejected September 2004, for failing to meet the criteria of suitable color-of-title claim as defined by 43 CFR 2540.0-5(b). Item 7 of the aforementioned settlement stated: “Should the final agency action on the color-of-title application deny the application, BLM will then lease Parcel 1 to Mr. Dowton for agricultural use pursuant to the provisions of 43 CFR part 2920. The lease will be a land-use authorization offered on a negotiated, non-competitive basis pursuant to 43 CFR Sec. 2920.5-4(b) (10/1/03 Edition). That lease will be for a term of ten years and will be renewable for an additional term.” The legal description of Parcel 1 is: Boise Meridian, T. 16 N., R. 20 E, contains 47 acres in Custer County, more or less. sec. 26, lot 2 After review, the BLM has determined that the proposed use of the above described parcel is in conformance with the Challis Resource Management Plan
(RMP)(1999). Compliance can be found under Decision *Land Tenure and Access* under Goal 4. (Eliminate unauthorized use of public lands.) Therefore, pursuant to section 302(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1732(b)) and the implementing regulations at 43 CFR part 2920, the BLM will accept for processing an application to be filed by Sydney Dowton, or his duly qualified designee, for a non-competitive lease of the above described lands, to be used for harvest of meadow grass irrigated by a 549′, 6 5/8 ″ diameter center pivot. A non-competitive lease may be employed in this case because doing so meets the terms of the January 12, 2004, IBLA settlement between Sydney Dowton and the BLM. Furthermore, as provided in 43 CFR 2920.5-4(b), land use authorizations may be offered on a negotiated, non-competitive basis, when, in the judgment of the authorized officer, equities, such as prior use of the lands, exist; if no competitive interest exists; or, where competitive bidding would represent unfair competitive and economic disadvantage to the originator of the unique land use concept that is compatible with the public interest. The Dowtons built the aforementioned center irrigation pivot on the subject parcel between 1994 and 1995 at a cost of approximately $21,000.00. This fact, as well as the history of past use by the Dowtons is further evidence to support the decision to offer a non-competitive lease. The non-competitive bid shall not be for less than market value. That is to say rental value must be based on the market value of the land acceptable to the BLM after taking into account a current independent appraisal of, among other considerations, the highest and best use of the lands. The BLM will not charge processing fees as per: Section 8 (E.) Additional Terms and Conditions of the settlement, which states: “Each Party is to bear its own costs and attorney fees in this matter leading up to this agreement and for the preparation and implementation of the Agreement. Should either party be required to seek legal actions to enforce or interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement, attorney fees and costs may be awarded as allowed under the typical law.” Rent, payable annually or otherwise in advance, will be determined by the BLM, if and when a lease application is granted and periodically thereafter. The lease application must include a reference to this notice and comply in all respects with the regulations pertaining to land use authorization applications at 43 CFR 2920.5-2 and 2920.5-5(b). If authorized, the lease would be subject to valid existing rights. On or before May 21, 2007, interested parties may submit comments to the BLM at the address stated above with respect to:
(1)The decision of the BLM regarding the availability of the lands described herein and
(2)The decision of the BLM to accept for processing an application from Sydney Dowton for a non-competitive lease. In addition to the right reserved in 43 CFR 2920.7, the United States (Lessor) shall reserve all leasable, locatable, and salable mineral resources and deposits in the subject parcel together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the same under applicable laws and regulations. The lease, when issued, will contain a covenant requiring the Lessee assign in the name of the Lessor that amount of water applied to the subject parcel during the use of the subject parcel. In the event the application of water to the public land ceases, this assignment shall terminate and full water right shall revert back to the sole ownership of Karen and Sydney Dowton. Comments must be received by the BLM Challis Field Manager, Idaho Falls District Office, at the address stated above, on or before the date stated above. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the Idaho Falls District Manager, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any objections, or adverse comments, this proposed realty action will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

This parcel of land, situated in San Juan County, is being offered on a non-competitive (direct) sale basis to San Juan County, in accordance with section 203(f)(2) of 6 (FLPMA) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a), for use as an industrial park. The BLM Farmington District Manager has determined that a non-competitive (direct) sale will be in the best interest of the public to facilitate growth and business opportunities for San Juan County. FLPMA authorizes the use of direct sales of the public lands in circumstances where that tract has been identified for transfer to a State or local government as an integral part of the project and speculative bidding would jeopardize a timely completion and the economic viability of the project. The BLM proposes to convey the identified tract to a local government as an integral part of such a project. The parcel is being offered for sale at no less than the appraised fair market value
(FMV)of $400,000, as determined by the authorized officer after appraisal. An appraisal report has been prepared by a State certified appraiser for the purposes of establishing FMV.

This land is not required for any Federal purposes. The proposed action is in compliance with the BLM Farmington Resource Management Plan and approved September 2003. In the event of a sale, conveyance will include the surface interests only. The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations, covenants, terms, and conditions: 1. The parcel will be conveyed with a reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945). 2. The parcel will be conveyed subject to valid existing rights, including, but not limited to rights-of-ways. The parcel may be subject to applications for rights-of-way received prior to the publication of this Notice if processing the application would not adversely affect the marketability or appraised value of the parcel proposed for sale.

This covenant shall be construed as running with the above described parcel of land patented or otherwise conveyed by the United States, and may be enforced by the United States in a court of competent jurisdiction. No warranty of any kind express or implied is given or will be given by the United States as to the title, physical condition or potential uses of the land proposed for sale.

The BLM may accept or reject any or all offers, or withdraw any land or interest in the land from sale, if, in the opinion of the authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not be fully consistent with FLPMA, or other applicable laws.

Based in part on the minimal nature of public response to the Notice of Intent, the National Park Service has since determined that an Environmental Assessment rather than an EIS is the appropriate environmental documentation for this general management plan update. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This new general management plan
(GMP)will update the overall direction for the national monument, setting broad management goals for managing the area over the next 15 to 20 years. As noted above, the GMP was originally scoped as an EIS. However, few public comments were received in the scoping process. No issues with the potential for controversial impacts were identified for the general management plan. The current GMP was approved in 1979. In the general management planning process the NPS planning team developed four preliminary alternatives for the national monument, none of which would result in substantial changes in the operation and management of the area. The three “action” alternatives primarily focus on maintaining and protecting paleontological and other resources, and expanding interpretation and visitor opportunities where appropriate. The alternatives vary in their treatment of the Cant Ranch cultural landscape, the management of the Hancock mammal quarry, and the development of new trails. Preliminary analysis of the alternatives has revealed no major (nor significant) potential effects on the quality of the human environment, nor any potential for impairment of park resources and values. Most of the impacts from the alternatives are expected to be negligible to minor in magnitude, with the remainder being of a minor to moderate level. For these reasons the NPS determined that the requisite conservation planning and environmental impact analysis necessary for updating the general management plan can appropriately be completed through preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA). For further information about this determination or other aspects of the GMP process, please contact: James Hammett, Superintendent, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, 32651 Highway 19, Kimberly, OR 97848 (telephone:
(514)987-2333; e-mail: *JODA_Superintendent@nps.gov).* *Decsion Process:* The draft general management plan/EA is expected to be distributed for public comment in the fall/winter of 2007. The NPS will notify the public about release of the draft general management plan/EA by mail, local and regional media, Web site postings, and other means; all announcements will include information on where and how to obtain a copy of the EA, how to comment on the EA, and the length of the public comment period. Following due consideration of public comments and agency consults, at this time a decision is expected be made in the winter of 2008. The official responsible for the final decision on the GMP is the Regional Director; subsequently the responsible official for implementing the approved GMP is the Superintendent, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

E7-6451 Filed 4-5-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-3J-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Draft Environmental Impact Statement/General Management Plan, Pinnacles National Monument, San Benito and Monterey Counties, CA; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement SUMMARY: In accord with section 102(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, *et seq.* ), the National Park Service
(NPS)has undertaken a conservation planning and environmental impact analysis process for updating the General Management Plan
(GMP)for Pinnacles National Monument. An Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)will be prepared concurrently with the GMP. The GMP will address desired conditions for the Monument, uses or treatment needs for resource protection, visitor use and other management goals thus serving as a “blueprint” to guide management of natural and cultural resources and visitor use during the next 15-20 years. This notice supersedes the previous notice published in the **Federal Register** on November 19, 1998 (Vol. 63, No. 223). *Background:* Pinnacles National Monument preserves an ecologically-rich, geologically-spectacular, and culturally-significant landscape in the Central Coast region of California. Established in 1908 and named for dramatic rock formations that are the remains of an ancient volcano, the Monument preserves a landscape shaped by earthquake, fire, and flood. The Monument is rich in plant and animal life that inhabit the park's chaparral, oak woodland, talus cave, riparian, and rock-and-scree habitats. In 2003, Pinnacles became the home once again to the California condor, one of the nation's most endangered species, elevating the Monument's profile substantially throughout the region. Pinnacles preserves a rich human history with archeological sites reaching back at least 2,000 years, revealing use by indigenous people. Sites from the 1800s reflect the homesteading history of the area. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps played the central role in the development of the Monument that visitors enjoy today, evidenced by roads, a visitor center, numerous park structures, and an outstanding trail system that stands as an important cultural resource in itself. Located 100 miles south of the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Pinnacles is on the edge of one of the state's most populated and fastest-growing areas. Since 1976, Pinnacles has grown from 16,271 acres to 24,436 acres. In 1976, 15,985 acres were designated by Congress as Wilderness (and several tracts of land since transferred from the BLM bring the Wilderness total acreage to 16,048). Also, acquisition of the 2,000-acre Pinnacles Ranch during the spring of 2006 has added substantial new resources, infrastructure, recreational opportunities, and management challenges. A new GMP reflecting contemporary issues and challenges facing Pinnacles in the future is essential. The plan will provide direction for park management through the establishment of management zones, user capacities and appropriate types and levels of development and recreational use for all areas of the park. Resource protection, visitor experiences, community relationships, and relationships with neighboring land management agencies will be improved through completion and implementation of the GMP. *Scoping Process:* The purpose of the scoping outreach efforts is to elicit public comment regarding issues and concerns, the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts (and appropriate mitigation measures) that should be addressed in the plan. Major issues anticipated to be addressed in the EIS include: • What are the desired conditions for native/endemic ecosystems? • What are the desired conditions for Wilderness areas? • What are the desired conditions for cultural resources and cultural landscapes? • What areas and structures are appropriate for museum collections storage, preservation and accessibility for research? • What is the desired visitor experience throughout the Monument (east side, west side, high peaks, Bear Gulch, Chalone, Chaparral, Pinnacles Ranch, campground, backcountry, Wilderness)? • What are appropriate visitor use levels for different parts of the Monument? • What transportation options should be considered for providing access to and within the Monument? What types of trail (or other) access are appropriate, and where? • What is the appropriate level of development in different parts of the Monument, and what areas are appropriate for park administration and operations activities? • How should the NPS work with nearby communities to encourage community understanding of the Monument and to address potential effects of development and population growth in neighboring communities on ecological, scenic, and Wilderness values of the Monument? • Are there any recommendations for changes in the authorizing legislation for Pinnacles National Monument that should be considered in the GMP? *Comments:* Through the outreach activities planned in this final scoping effort, the NPS welcomes additional information and suggestions from the public regarding resource protection, visitor use, and land management. This notice formally resumes the public scoping comment phase for the EIS process for the GMP. All interested persons, organizations, agencies, and American Indian tribes wishing to express new concerns or provide information about management issues which should be addressed in the GMP and environmental impact analysis process are encouraged to contact the Superintendent (previous responses are contained in the administrative record and do not need to be resubmitted). All comments received will become part of the public record. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. At this time, public scoping meetings are anticipated to be held during the spring of 2007; details will be announced widely in local and regional news media, via direct park mailings and through the GMP Web site: ( *http://parkplanning.nps.gov/pinn* ). All attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments to the planning team. The Web site will provide the most up-to-date information regarding the project, including project description, planning process updates, meeting notices, reports and documents, and useful links associated with the project. All written comments regarding the preparation of the EIS/GMP must be postmarked or transmitted not later than May 31, 2007 and should be submitted directly to General Management Plan Team, Pinnacles National Monument, 5000 Hwy 146, Paicines, CA 95043 (or electronically through the Web site noted above). *Decision Process:* At this time, the draft EIS/GMP is expected to be released for public review during the fall of 2008; following due consideration of all comments as may be submitted, the final document is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2009. Formal announcement of the availability of both documents will be published in the **Federal Register** , publicized via local and regional media and the internet, and via direct mailing to the project mailing list. Responsibility for approving the Final EIS/GMP is delegated to the NPS, and the official responsible for the final decision is the Regional Director, Pacific West Region; subsequently the official responsible for implementing the approved GMP is the Superintendent, Pinnacles National Monument.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) is announcing WIA allotments for PY 2007 (July 1, 2007-June 30, 2008) for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities, and Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2007 final allotments. This document provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 2007 to states with an approved WIA Title I and Wagner-Peyser Act Strategic Plan for PY 2007, and information regarding allotments to the outlying areas. The allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the FY 2007 Continuing Appropriations Resolution, Public Law 110-5, February 15, 2007. Attached are tables listing the PY 2007 allotments for programs under WIA Title I Youth Activities (Attachment I), Adult and Dislocated Workers Employment and Training Activities (Attachments II and III, respectively), additional assistance under Section 173(e) (Attachment IV), and the PY 2007 Wagner-Peyser Act final allotments (Attachment V). Also attached are tables FY 2007 Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit allotments (Attachment VI). *Youth Activities Allotments.* PY 2007 Youth Activities funds under WIA total $940,500,000. Attachment I includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2007 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2006 Youth Activities allotments for all states, outlying areas, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Before determining the amount available for states, the total funding available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Youth Activities. On December 17, 2003, the President signed Public Law 108-188, the *Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003* , which provides for consolidation of all funding, including WIA Title I, for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia into supplemental funding grants in the Department of Education. The Education appropriation for FY 2007 includes funding for these supplemental grants; therefore, WIA Title I funds are no longer being provided for these two areas. The Compact continues the availability of programs previously available to Palau through September 30, 2007, including WIA Title I funding provisions. The methodology for distributing funds to all outlying areas is not specified by WIA, but is at the Secretary's discretion. The methodology used is the same as used since PY 2000, i.e., funds are distributed among the remaining areas by formula based on relative share of number of unemployed, a 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year share, a $75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year share. As in PY 2006, data for the relative share calculation in the PY 2007 formula were from 2000 Census data for all outlying areas, obtained from the Bureau of the Census (Bureau) and based on 2000 Census surveys for those areas conducted either by the Bureau or the outlying areas under the guidance of the Bureau. The total amount available for Native Americans is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth Activities, in accordance with WIA section 127. After determining the amount for the outlying areas and Native Americans, the amount available for allotment to the states for PY 2007 is $924,041,250. This total amount was below the required $1 billion threshold specified in section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, as in PY 2006, the WIA additional minimum provisions were not applied, and, instead, as required by WIA, the Job Training Partnership Act
(JTPA)section 202(a)(3) (as amended by section 701 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992) minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor were used. Also, as required by WIA, the provision applying a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage was used. The three formula factors required in WIA use the following data for the PY 2007 allotments:
(1)Number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment (ASU's), averages for the 12-month period, July 2005 through June 2006;
(2)Number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess (depending on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period used for ASU unemployed data; and
(3)Number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding college students and military), from the 2000 Census. The ASU data for the PY 2007 allotments was identified by the states under Employment and Training Administration guidance for PY 2007 which required states to use special 2000 Census data based on households, obtained under contract with the Census Bureau and provided to states by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These special 2000 Census data were used to avoid the 2000 Census data processing problem related to group quarters data identified last year, and it replaced the 1990 Census data used by states for identifying ASUs for PY 2006 allotments. Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments The total Adult Employment and Training Activities appropriation is $864,199,000. Attachment II shows the PY 2007 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and comparison to PY 2006 allotments by state. Like the Youth Activities program, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Adult Activities. As discussed in the Youth Activities paragraph, beginning in PY 2005, WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided; instead, funding is provided in the Department of Education's appropriation. The Adult Activities funds for grants to the remaining outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary's discretion, were distributed among the areas by the same principles, formula and data as used for outlying areas for Youth Activities. After determining the amount for the outlying areas, the amount available for allotments to the states is $862,038,502. Like the Youth Activities program, the WIA minimum provisions were not applied for the PY 2007 allotments because the total amount available for the states was below the $960 million threshold required for Adult Activities in section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by WIA, the minimum allotments were calculated using the JTPA section 202(a)(3) (as amended by section 701 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992) minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor. Also, like the Youth Activities program, a provision applying a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage was used. The three formula factors use the same data as used for the PY 2007 Youth Activities formula, except that data from the 2000 Census for the number of economically disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college students and military) were used. Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments The total Dislocated Worker appropriation is $1,471,903,000. The total appropriation includes formula funds for the states, while the National Reserve is used for National Emergency Grants, technical assistance and training, demonstration projects (including Community-Based Job Training Grants), the outlying areas' Dislocated Worker allotments, and additional assistance to eligible states. Attachment III shows the PY 2007 Dislocated Worker Activities fund allotments by state. Like the Youth and Adult Activities programs, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities. WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided, as discussed above. The Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants to outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary's discretion, were distributed among the remaining areas by the same pro rata share as the areas received for the PY 2007 WIA Adult Activities program, the same methodology used in PY 2006. For the state distribution of formula funds, the three formula factors required in WIA use the following data for the PY 2007 allotments:
(1)Number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October 2005 through September 2006;
(2)Number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October 2005 through September 2006; and
(3)Number of long-term unemployed, averages for calendar year 2005. Since the Dislocated Worker Activities formula has no floor amount or hold-harmless provisions, funding changes for states directly reflect the impact of changes in the number of unemployed. Additional Funding From WIA Section 173(e) for Adult /Dislocated Worker Activities for Eligible States WIA Section 173(e) provides that up to $15 million from Dislocated Workers reserve funds is to be made available annually to certain states that receive less funds under the WIA Adult Activities formula than they would have received had the JTPA Title II-A Adult program formula been in effect. The amount of the grants is based on the difference between the WIA and JTPA formula allotments; funds are available for grants for up to eight states with the largest difference. The additional funding must be used for Adult or Dislocated Worker Activities. In PY 2007, five states are eligible for these additional funds, for a total of $5,438,783 (Attachment IV). Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments The appropriated level for PY 2007 for ES grants totals $715,883,000. After reserving $18 million for the postage reserve and determining the funding for outlying areas, allotments to states were calculated using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). PY 2007 formula allotments were based on each state's share of calendar year 2006 monthly averages of the civilian labor force
(CLF)and unemployment. The Secretary of Labor is required to set aside up to three percent of the total available funds to assure that each state will have sufficient resources to maintain statewide employment service activities, as required under section 6(b)(4) of the Wagner-Peyser Act. In accordance with this provision, the three percent set-aside funds are included in the total allotment. The set-aside funds were distributed in two steps to states that have lost in relative share of resources from the previous year. In Step 1, states that have a CLF below one million and are also below the median CLF density were maintained at 100 percent of their relative share of prior year resources. All remaining set-aside funds were distributed on a pro-rata basis in Step 2 to all other states losing in relative share from the prior year but not meeting the size and density criteria for Step 1. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser funds (Attachment V) includes $696,181,664 for states, as well as $1,701,196 for outlying areas, and a postage reserve of $3,347,139. Traditionally, a portion of Wagner-Peyser formula funds have been set aside in a reserve to centrally pay for states' postage costs associated with the conduct of labor exchange services. Beginning October 1, 2007 (FY 2008), all states and outlying areas will be required to pay their own postage costs with their formula grants, and there will no longer be any postage amounts reserved from the formula funds. States were given the option to implement the postage conversion earlier than October 1, 2007, at the beginning of any quarter in FY 2007. In addition to the formula funds, PY 2007 allotments will include postage funds applicable to the period of postage conversion implementation during PY 2007 as described below. The total amount of PY 2007 postage funds for ES activities is $18,000,000. Seventy-five percent of this amount will be distributed to all states and outlying areas based on their pro rata share of the PY 2007 formula funds to cover postage conversion implementation which begins October 1, 2007 (last three quarters of PY 2007). In addition, the early implementer states will be given their pro rata share of the postage reserves left to cover the first quarter of PY 2007, thus giving them a full year of postage funds. Next year, for PY 2008, there will be no postage reserve taken from funds distributed by formula; all funds will be distributed by formula and states and outlying areas will use their formula grants to cover all postage costs. Under section 7 of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 10 percent of the total sums allotted to each state shall be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance incentives for ES offices, services for groups with special needs, and for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering job services. Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit Programs: Grants to States Total funding for FY 2007 is $17,677,000. After reserving funds for postage and $20,000 for the Virgin Islands, funds were distributed to states by administrative formula with a $64,000 minimum allotment and a 95 percent stop-loss/130 percent stop-gain from the prior year allotment share percentage. The allotment formula data factors and related percentages used are as follows:
(1)50 percent based on each state's relative share of total FY 2005 certifications issued for the WOTC/WtW Tax Credit programs;
(2)30 percent based on each state's relative share of the CLF for twelve months ending September 2006; and
(3)20 percent based on each state's relative share of the adult recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF)for FY 2005. The final distribution of WOTC funding includes $17,144,367 for states, $20,000 for the Virgin Islands, and a postage reserve of $512,633. The total allotment distribution by state is displayed in Attachment VI. As in the Wagner-Peyser program, the full year amount of postage funds will not be held in reserve. However, since this program's funds are fiscal year funds and FY 2007 is the transition period for states which opted to implement postage conversion earlier than FY 2008, only the early implementer states will receive additional postage funds in their FY 2007 grant. The additional postage amount for these states will be based on their FY 2007 formula pro rata share of the postage reserve amount based on their quarter of implementation. In FY 2008, there will be no postage reserve taken from funds distributed by formula; all funds will be distributed by formula and states will use their formula grants to cover all postage costs.

(202)693-2222. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 *et seq.* ) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). The Standard specifies several paperwork requirements. The following sections describe who uses the information collected under each requirement, as well as how they use it. Paragraph (e)(1)(i) of § 1910.217 requires employers to establish and follow a program of periodic and regular inspections of power presses to ensure that all their parts, auxiliary equipment, and safeguards are in safe operating condition and adjustment. Employers must maintain a certification record of inspections that includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection, and the serial number, or other identifier, of the power press that was inspected. Paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of § 1910.217 requires employers to inspect and test each press no less than weekly to determine the condition of the clutch/brake mechanism, antirepeat feature, and single-stroke mechanism. Employers must perform and complete necessary maintenance or repair or both before the press is operated. In addition, employers must maintain a record of inspections, tests, and maintenance work. The record must include the date of the inspection, test, or maintenance; the signature of the person who performed the inspection, test, or maintenance; and the serial number, or other identifier, of the press that was inspected, tested, or maintained. The certification records required in 29 CFR 1910.217(e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii) are necessary to ensure compliance with the requirement to inspect mechanical power presses. The inspection of mechanical power presses is critical to ensuring that employers maintain the presses in safe operating condition for employees. These records also provide the most efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the Standard. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information collection requirements contained in the Standard on Mechanical Power Presses (29 CFR 1910.217(e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii)). The Agency is requesting to retain its existing burden hour estimate associated with this Standard at 1,373,054. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Title:* Standard on Mechanical Power Presses (29 CFR 1910.217(e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii)). *OMB Number:* 1218-0229. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 295,000. *Frequency:* Monthly, weekly. *Average Time per Response:* Varies from 2 minutes (.03 hour) to disclose certification records to 20 minutes (.33 hour) to inspect the parts, auxiliary equipment, and safeguards of each mechanical power press. *Total Annual Burden Hours:* 1,373,054. *Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance):* $0.

E7-6480 Filed 4-5-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [EA-06-233, Docket No.: 70-1113, License No.: SNM-1097] In the Matter of Global Nuclear Fuel—Americas, LLC, and all Other Persons Who Seek or Obtain Access to Safeguards Information Described Herein; Order Imposing Fingerprinting and Criminal History Check Requirements for Access to Safeguards Information (Effective Immediately) I Global Nuclear Fuel—Americas, LLC (GNF-A) holds a license issued in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act
(AEA)of 1954, as amended, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), authorizing it to engage in an activity subject to regulation by the Commission. On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) was enacted. Section 652 of the EPAct, amended Section 149 of the AEA to require fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI)identification and criminal history records check of any person who is to be permitted to have access to Safeguards Information (SGI). 1 The NRC's implementation of this requirement cannot await the completion of the SGI rulemaking, which is underway, because the EPAct fingerprinting and criminal history check requirements for access to SGI were immediately effective on enactment of the EPAct. Although the EPAct permits the Commission, by rule, to except certain categories of individuals from the fingerprinting requirement, which the Commission has done [see 10 CFR 73.59, 71 **Federal Register** 33989 (June 13, 2006)], it is unlikely that licensee employees will be excepted from the fingerprinting requirement by the “fingerprinting relief” rule. Individuals relieved from fingerprinting and criminal history checks under the relief rule include: Federal, State, and local officials and law enforcement personnel; Agreement State inspectors who conduct security inspections on behalf of the NRC; members of Congress and certain employees of members of Congress or Congressional Committees; and representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency or certain foreign government organizations. In addition, individuals who have had a favorably-decided U.S. Government criminal history check within the last five
(5)years, and individuals who have active federal security clearances (provided in either case that they make available the appropriate documentation), have satisfied the EPAct fingerprinting requirement and need not be fingerprinted again. Therefore, in accordance with Section 149 of the AEA, as amended by the EPAct, the Commission is imposing additional requirements for access to SGI, as set forth by this Order, so that affected licensees can obtain and grant access to SGI. This Order also imposes requirements for access to SGI by any person, 2 from any person, whether or not they are a licensee, applicant, or certificate holder of the Commission or an Agreement State. 1 Safeguards Information is a form of sensitive, unclassified, security-related information that the Commission has the authority to designate and protect under Section 147 of the AEA. 2 Person means
(1)any individual, corporation, partnership, firm, association, trust, estate, public or private institution, group, government agency other than the Commission or the Department of Energy, except that the Department of Energy shall be considered a person with respect to those facilities of the Department of Energy specified in Section 202 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (88 Stat. 1244), any State or any political subdivision of, or any political entity within a State, any foreign government or nation or any political subdivision of any such government or nation, or other entity; and
(2)any legal successor, representative, agent, or agency of the foregoing. Subsequent to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the NRC issued Orders requiring certain entities to implement Additional Security Measures or Interim Compensatory Measures for certain radioactive materials. The requirements imposed by these Orders, and certain measures that licensees have developed to comply with the Orders, were designated by the NRC as SGI. II The Commission has broad statutory authority to protect and prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of SGI. Section 147 of the AEA grants the Commission explicit authority to issue such Orders, as necessary, to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of SGI. Furthermore, Section 652 of the EPAct, amended Section 149 of the AEA to require fingerprinting and an FBI identification and a criminal history records check of each individual who seeks access to SGI. In addition, no person may have access to SGI unless the person has an established need-to-know, and satisfies the trustworthiness and reliability requirements described in Attachment 2 to this Order. To provide assurance that GNF-A is implementing appropriate measures to a consistent level of protection to prohibit unauthorized disclosure of SGI, and to comply with the fingerprinting and criminal history check requirements for access to SGI, GNF-A shall implement the requirements of 10 CFR 73.21 and of this Order. In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, I find that in light of the common defense and security matters identified above, which warrant the issuance of this Order, the public health, safety and interest require that this Order be effective immediately. III Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 53, 62, 63, 81, 147, 149, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of the AEA of 1954 as amended, and the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 2.202, 10 CFR PART 70, and 10 CFR PART 73, it is hereby ordered, effective immediately, that GNF-A and all other persons who seek or obtain access to safeguards informations as described herein shall comply with the requirements set forth in 10 CFR 73.21 and this order. A. 1. No person may have access to SGI unless that person has a need-to-know the SGI, has been fingerprinted, and satisfies all other applicable requirements for access to SGI. Fingerprinting and the FBI identification and criminal history records check are not required, however, for any person who is relieved from the requirement by 10 CFR 73.59 [71 **Federal Register** 33989 (June 13, 2006)], or who has had a favorably-decided U.S. Government criminal history check within the last five
(5)years, or who has an active federal security clearance, provided in the latter two
(2)cases that the appropriate documentation is made available to GNF-A's NRC-approved reviewing official. 2. No person may have access to any SGI if the NRC, when making an SGI access determination for a nominated reviewing official, has determined, based on fingerprinting and an FBI identification and criminal history records check, that the person may not have access to SGI. B. No person may provide SGI to any other person except in accordance with Condition III.A. above. Prior to providing SGI to any person, a copy of this Order shall be provided to that person. C. *GNF-A shall comply with the following requirements:* 1. GNF-A shall, within twenty
(20)days of the date of this Order, establish and maintain a fingerprinting program that meets the requirements of Attachment 1 to this Order. 2. GNF-A shall, within twenty
(20)days of the date of this Order, submit the fingerprints of one
(1)individual who:
(a)The licensee nominates as the “reviewing official” for determining access to SGI by other individuals; and
(b)has an established need-to-know the information and has been determined to be trustworthy and reliable in accordance with the requirements described in Attachment 2 to this Order. The NRC will determine whether this individual (or any subsequent reviewing official) may have access to SGI and, therefore, will be permitted to serve as GNF-A's reviewing official. 3 GNF-A may, at the same time or later, submit the fingerprints of other individuals to whom GNF-A seeks to grant access to SGI. Fingerprints shall be submitted and reviewed in accordance with the procedures described in Attachment 1 to this Order. 3 The NRC's determination of this individual's access to SGI in accordance with the process described in Enclosure 3 [available through NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)] to the transmittal letter of this Order is an administrative determination that is outside the scope of this Order. 3. GNF-A may allow any individual who currently has access to SGI, in accordance with the previously-issued NRC Orders, to continue to have access to previously-designated SGI without being fingerprinted, pending a decision by the NRC-approved reviewing official (based on fingerprinting, an FBI criminal history records check and a trustworthiness and reliability determination) that the individual may continue to have access to SGI. GNF-A shall make determinations on continued access to SGI within ninety
(90)days of the date of this Order, in part on the results of the fingerprinting and criminal history check, for those individuals who were previously granted access to SGI before the issuance of this Order. 4. GNF-A shall, in writing, within twenty
(20)days of the date of this Order, notify the Commission:
(1)If it is unable to comply with any of the requirements described in the Order, including Attachment 1; or
(2)if compliance with any of the requirements is unnecessary in its specific circumstances. The notification shall provide GNF-A's justification for seeking relief from, or variation of, any specific requirement. GNF-A's responses to C.1., C.2., C.3, and C.4, above shall be submitted to the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. In addition, GNF-A responses shall be marked as “Security-Related Information—Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.” The Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, may, in writing, relax or rescind any of the above conditions upon demonstration of good cause by GNF-A. IV In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, GNF-A must, and any other person adversely affected by this Order may, submit an answer to this Order and may request a hearing with regard to this Order, within twenty
(20)days of the date of this Order. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for extension of time in which to submit an answer or request a hearing must be made in writing to the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement of good cause for the extension. The answer may consent to this Order. Unless the answer consents to this Order, the answer shall, in writing and under oath or affirmation, specifically set forth the matters of fact and law by which GNF-A or other entities adversely affected rely, and the reasons as to why the Order should not have been issued. Any answer or request for a hearing shall be submitted to the Secretary, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, Washington, DC 20555. Copies shall also be sent to the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, to the Assistant General Counsel for Materials Litigation and Enforcement at the same address, and to GNF-A, if the answer or hearing request is by an entity other than GNF-A. Because of possible delays in delivery of mail to United States Government offices, it is requested that answers and requests for hearing be transmitted to the Secretary of the Commission, either by means of facsimile transmission to
(301)415-1101, or via e-mail to *hearingdocket@nrc.gov* , and also to the Office of the General Counsel either by means of facsimile transmission to
(301)415-3725, or via e-mail to *OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov* . If an entity other than GNF-A requests a hearing, that entity shall set forth, with particularity, the manner in which their interest is adversely affected by this Order, and shall address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309. If a hearing is requested by GNF-A, or a person whose interest is adversely affected, the Commission will issue an Order designating the time and place of any hearing. If a hearing is held, the issue to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Order should be sustained. Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202(c)(2)(i), GNF-A may, in addition to demanding a hearing, at the time the answer is filed or sooner, move the presiding officer to set aside the immediate effectiveness of the Order on the grounds that the Order, including the need for immediate effectiveness, is not based on adequate evidence, but on mere suspicion, unfounded allegations, or error. In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the provisions as specified above in Section III, shall be final twenty
(20)days from the date of this Order without, further order or proceedings. If an extension of time for requesting a hearing has been approved, the provisions, as specified above in Section III, shall be final when the extension expires, if a hearing request has not been received. An answer or a request for hearing shall not stay the immediate effectiveness of this order. Dated this 29th day of March 2007. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Michael F. Weber, Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. Attachment 1—Requirements for Fingerprinting and Criminal History Records Checks of Individuals When Licensee's Reviewing Official is Determining Access to Safeguards Information General Requirements Licensees shall comply with the requirements of this attachment. A. 1. Each licensee subject to the provisions of this attachment shall fingerprint each individual who is seeking or permitted access to Safeguards Information (SGI). The licensee shall review and use the information received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI)and ensure that the provisions contained in the subject Order and this attachment are satisfied. 2. The licensee shall notify each affected individual that the fingerprints will be used to secure a review of his/her criminal history record and inform the individual of the procedures for revising the record or including an explanation in the record, as specified in the “Right to Correct and Complete Information” section of this attachment. 3. Fingerprints need not be taken if an employed individual (e.g., a licensee employee, contractor, manufacturer, or supplier) is relieved from the fingerprinting requirement by 10 CFR 73.59, has a favorably-decided U.S. Government criminal history records check within the last five
(5)years, or has an active federal security clearance. Written confirmation from the Agency/employer which granted the federal security clearance or reviewed the criminal history records check must be provided. The licensee must retain this documentation for a period of three
(3)years from the date the individual no longer requires access to SGI associated with the licensee's activities. 4. All fingerprints obtained by the licensee pursuant to this Order must be submitted to the Commission for transmission to the FBI. 5. The licensee shall review the information received from the FBI and consider it, in conjunction with the trustworthiness and reliability requirements included in Attachment 2 to this Order, in making a determination whether to grant access to SGI to individuals who have a need-to-know the SGI. 6. The licensee shall use any information obtained as part of a criminal history records check solely for the purpose of determining an individual's suitability for access to SGI. 7. The licensee shall document the basis for its determination whether to grant access to SGI. B. The licensee shall notify the NRC of any desired change in reviewing officials, in compliance with C.2 of the subject Order. The NRC will determine whether the individual nominated as the new reviewing official may have access to SGI based on a previously-obtained or new criminal history check and, therefore, will be permitted to serve as the licensee's reviewing official. Prohibitions A licensee shall not base a final determination to deny an individual access to SGI solely on the basis of information received from the FBI involving: an arrest more than one
(1)year old for which there is no information of the disposition of the case, or an arrest that resulted in dismissal of the charge or an acquittal. A licensee shall not use information received from a criminal history check obtained pursuant to this Order in a manner that would infringe upon the rights of any individual under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, nor shall the licensee use the information in any way which would discriminate among individuals on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, or age. Procedures for Processing Fingerprint Checks For the purpose of complying with this Order, licensees shall, using an appropriate method listed in 10 CFR 73.4, submit to the NRC's Division of Facilities and Security, Mail Stop T-6E46, one completed, legible standard fingerprint card (Form FD-258, ORIMDNRCOOOZ) or, where practicable, other fingerprint records for each individual seeking access to SGI, to the Director of the Division of Facilities and Security, marked for the attention of the Division's Criminal History Check Section. Copies of these forms may be obtained by writing the Office of Information Services, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, by calling
(301)415-5877, or by e-mail to *forms@nrc.gov* . Practicable alternative formats are set forth in 10 CFR 73.4. The licensee shall establish procedures to ensure that the quality of the fingerprints taken results in minimizing the rejection rate of fingerprint cards due to illegible or incomplete cards. The NRC will review submitted fingerprint cards for completeness. Any Form FD-258 fingerprint record containing omissions or evident errors will be returned to the licensee for corrections. The fee for processing fingerprint checks includes one re-submission if the initial submission is returned by the FBI because the fingerprint impressions cannot be classified. The one free re-submission must have the FBI Transaction Control Number reflected on the re-submission. If additional submissions are necessary, they will be treated as initial submittals and will require a second payment of the processing fee. Fees for processing fingerprint checks are due upon application. Licensees shall submit payment with the application for processing fingerprints by corporate check, certified check, cashier's check, money order, or electronic payment, made payable to “U.S. NRC.” [For guidance on making electronic payments, contact the Facilities Security Branch, Division of Facilities and Security, at
(301)415-7404]. Combined payment for multiple applications is acceptable. The application fee (currently $27) is the sum of the user fee charged by the FBI for each fingerprint card or other fingerprint record submitted by the NRC on behalf of a licensee, and an NRC processing fee, which covers administrative costs associated with NRC handling of licensee fingerprint submissions. The Commission will directly notify licensees who are subject to this regulation of any fee changes. The Commission will forward to the submitting licensee all data received from the FBI as a result of the licensee's application(s) for criminal history records checks, including the FBI fingerprint record. Right To Correct and Complete Information Prior to any final adverse determination, the licensee shall make available to the individual the contents of any criminal records obtained from the FBI for the purpose of assuring correct and complete information. Written confirmation by the individual of receipt of this notification must be maintained by the licensee for a period of one
(1)year from the date of the notification. If, after reviewing the record, an individual believes that it is incorrect or incomplete in any respect and wishes to change, correct, or update the alleged deficiency, or to explain any matter in the record, the individual may initiate challenge procedures. These procedures include either direct application by the individual challenging the record to the agency (i.e., law enforcement agency) that contributed the questioned information, or direct challenge as to the accuracy or completeness of any entry on the criminal history record to the Assistant Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Identification Division, Washington, DC 20537-9700 (as set forth in 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34). In the latter case, the FBI forwards the challenge to the agency that submitted the data and requests that agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication directly from the agency that contributed the original information, the FBI Identification Division makes any changes necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that agency. The licensee must provide at least ten
(10)days for an individual to initiate an action challenging the results of an FBI criminal history records check after the record is made available for his/her review. The licensee may make a final SGI access determination based upon the criminal history record only upon receipt of the FBI's ultimate confirmation or correction of the record. Upon a final adverse determination on access to SGI, the licensee shall provide the individual its documented basis for denial. Access to SGI shall not be granted to an individual during the review process. Protection of Information 1. Each licensee who obtains a criminal history record on an individual pursuant to this Order shall establish and maintain a system of files and procedures for protecting the record and the personal information from unauthorized disclosure. 2. The licensee may not disclose the record or personal information collected and maintained to persons other than the subject individual, his/her representative, or to those who have a need to access the information in performing assigned duties in the process of determining access to Safeguards Information. No individual authorized to have access to the information may re-disseminate the information to any other individual who does not have a need-to-know. 3. The personal information obtained on an individual from a criminal history record check may be transferred to another licensee if the licensee holding the criminal history record check receives the individual's written request to re-disseminate the information contained in his/her file, and the current licensee verifies information such as the individual's name, date of birth, social security number, sex, and other applicable physical characteristics for identification purposes. 4. The licensee shall make criminal history records, obtained under this section, available for examination by an authorized representative of the NRC to determine compliance with the regulations and laws. 5. The licensee shall retain all fingerprint and criminal history records received from the FBI, or a copy if the individual's file has been transferred, for three
(3)years after termination of employment or determination of access to SGI (whether access was approved or denied). After the required three
(3)year period, these documents shall be destroyed by a method that will prevent reconstruction of the information in whole or in part. Attachment 2—Trustworthiness and Reliability Requirements for Individuals Handling Safeguards Information In order to ensure the safe handling, use, and control of information designated as Safeguards Information, each licensee shall control and limit access to the information to only those individuals who have established the need-to-know the information, and are considered to be trustworthy and reliable. Licensees shall document the basis for concluding that there is reasonable assurance that individuals granted access to Safeguards Information are trustworthy and reliable, and do not constitute an unreasonable risk for malevolent use of the information. The Licensee shall comply with the requirements of this attachment: 1. The trustworthiness and reliability of an individual shall be determined based on a background investigation:
(a)The background investigation shall address at least the past three
(3)years, and, at a minimum, include verification of employment, education, and personal references. The licensee shall also, to the extent possible, obtain independent information to corroborate that provided by the employee (i.e., seeking references not supplied by the individual).
(b)If an individual's employment has been less than the required three
(3)year period, educational references may be used in lieu of employment history. The licensee's background investigation requirements may be satisfied for an individual that has an active Federal security clearance. 2. The licensee shall retain documentation regarding the trustworthiness and reliability of individual employees for three years after the individual's employment ends.
