Office of Vocational and Adult Education *Type of Review:* New. *Title:* Ready for College: Adult Education Transitions Program. *Frequency:* On Occasion. *Affected Public:* State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs. *Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:* *Responses:* 150. *Burden Hours:* 9,300. *Abstract:* Section 243 of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act authorizes the Department to establish and carry out a program of national leadership activities to enhance the quality of adult education and literacy programs nationwide. Many State and local agencies have developed a variety of interventions designed to re-engage out-of-school youth and assist them with the completion of both a high-school equivalency credential and a postsecondary certificate or degree. While the Department is generally aware of these efforts, there is little documentation of either their specific composition or effectiveness. This discretionary grant competition is intended to identify existing instructional practices of State and local agencies for improving the quality of adult education services so that more adults become “college ready” and able to transition to postsecondary education. This information collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1890-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published for this information collection.

E7-9902 Filed 5-22-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Southwestern Power Administration Sam Rayburn Dam Power Rate AGENCY: Southwestern Power Administration, DOE. ACTION: Notice of public review and comment. SUMMARY: The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), has prepared Current and Revised 2007 Power Repayment Studies that show the need for an increase in annual revenues to meet cost recovery criteria. Such increased revenues are required due to significant increases in expected U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' generation investment expenses at the project. The Administrator has developed a proposed Sam Rayburn Dam rate schedule, which is supported by a power repayment study, to recover the required revenues. Beginning October 1, 2007, the proposed rate would increase annual revenues 22.8 percent from $2,816,064 to $3,458,124. DATES: The consultation and comment period will begin on the date of publication of this **Federal Register** notice and will end August 21, 2007. A combined Public Information and Comment Forum will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma at 1 p.m. central time on June 27, 2007. ADDRESSES: If forums are requested, they will be held in Southwestern's offices, Williams Center Tower I, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. James K. McDonald, Assistant Administrator, Office of Corporate Operations, Southwestern Power Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103,
(918)595-6690, *jim.mcdonald@swpa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy was created by an Act of the U.S. Congress, in the Department of Energy Organization Act, Pub. L. No. 95-91, dated August 4, 1977. Southwestern's power marketing activities were transferred from the Department of Interior to the Department of Energy, effective October 1, 1977. Guidelines for preparation of power repayment studies are included in DOE Order No. RA 6120.2 entitled Power Marketing Administration Financial Reporting. Procedures for Public Participation in Power and Transmission Rate Adjustments of the Power Marketing Administrations are found at Title 10, part 903, Subpart A of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 903). Procedures for the confirmation and approval of rates for the Federal Power Marketing Administrations are found at title 18, part 300, Subpart L of the Code of Federal Regulations (18 CFR part 300). Southwestern markets power from 24 multi-purpose reservoir projects, with hydroelectric power facilities constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These projects are located in the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Southwestern's marketing area includes these States as well as Kansas and Louisiana. The costs associated with the hydropower facilities of 22 of the 24 projects are repaid via revenues received under the Integrated System rates, as are Southwestern's transmission facilities that consist of 1,380 miles of high-voltage transmission lines, 24 substations, and 46 microwave and VHF radio sites. Costs associated with the Robert D. Willis and Sam Rayburn Dams, two projects that are isolated hydraulically, electrically, and financially from the Integrated System are repaid by separate rate schedules. The Sam Rayburn Dam project is addressed in this notice. Following Department of Energy guidelines, the Administrator, Southwestern, prepared a Current Power Repayment study using the existing Sam Rayburn Dam rate. The Study indicates that Southwestern's legal requirement to repay the investment in the power generating facility for power and energy marketed by Southwestern will not be met without an increase in revenues. The need for increased revenues is due to an increase in expected power-related generation investment expenses. The Revised Power Repayment Study shows that an increase in annual revenue of $642,060 (22.8 percent increase), beginning October 1, 2007, is needed to satisfy repayment criteria. Opportunity is presented for Southwestern customers and other interested parties to receive copies of the Sam Rayburn Dam Power Repayment Studies and the proposed rate schedule. Persons desiring a copy of the Power Repayment Data Package with the proposed Rate Schedule should submit a request to the Director, Resources and Rates, Office of Corporate Operations, Southwestern Power Administration, One West Third Street, Tulsa, OK 74103,
(918)595-6680 or via e-mail to *swparates@swpa.gov* . A Public Information and Comment Forum (Forum) is scheduled to be held on June 27, 2007, to explain to customers and interested parties the proposed rate and supporting studies. The proceeding will be transcribed, if held. A chairman, who will be responsible for orderly procedure, will conduct the Forum. Questions concerning the rate, studies, and information presented at the Forum will be answered, to the extent possible, at the Forum. Questions not answered at the Forum will be answered in writing. However, questions involving voluminous data contained in Southwestern's records may best be answered by consultation and review of pertinent records at Southwestern's offices. Persons interested in attending the Forum should indicate in writing by letter, email, or facsimile transmission (918-595-6656) by June 19, 2007, their intent to appear at such Forum. Should no one indicate intent to attend by the above-cited deadline, no such Forum will be held. Persons interested in speaking at the Forum should indicate in writing by letter, email, or facsimile transmission (918-595-6656) at least seven
(7)calendar days prior to the Forum so that a list of speakers can be developed. The chairman may allow others to speak if time permits. A transcript of the Forum will be made. Copies of the transcripts may be obtained directly from the transcribing service for a fee. Copies of all documents introduced will also be available from the transcribing service for a fee. Written comments on the proposed Sam Rayburn Dam Rate are due on or before August 21, 2007. Five copies of the written comments, together with a diskette in MS Word, should be submitted to James K. McDonald, Assistant Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, One West Third Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. Following review of the oral and written comments and the information gathered during the course of the proceedings, the Administrator will submit the final Sam Rayburn Dam Proposal, and Power Repayment Studies in support of the proposed rate, to the Deputy Secretary of Energy for confirmation and approval on an interim basis, and subsequently to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC)for confirmation and approval on a final basis. The FERC will allow the public an opportunity to provide written comments on the proposed rate increase before making a final decision.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision
(RED)for the pesticide, aliphatic ester under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. The aliphatic esters case contains six active ingredients, but only one active ingredient, the methyl esters of fatty acids, is registered and in only one product. The methyl esters of fatty acids are used as a pinching agent and applied as a foliar spray on ornamentals, mostly azaleas, kept inside and outside of greenhouses. In the risk assessment a potential concern of chemical pneumonia for handlers was identified. As a result, EPA is requiring the use of an organic-vapor respirator during mixing, loading, and application of the product and increasing the restricted entry interval
(REI)from 4 hours to 12 hours. EPA has determined that the data base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that products containing the aliphatic esters are eligible for reregistration, provided the risks are mitigated in the manner described in the RED. Upon submission of any required product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing aliphatic esters. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, the aliphatic esters was reviewed through the modified 4-Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders to reach the regulatory decisions for the aliphatic esters. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the aliphatic esters RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for the aliphatic esters. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the aliphatic esters RED will be implemented as it is now presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. Using a modified, streamlined version of its public participation process, EPA has completed a RED for the low risk pesticide, inorganic sulfites under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. The inorganic sulfites case includes sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite. Sulfur dioxide is applied as a compressed gas and is typically used to treat for *Botrytis cinerea* , the fungus which causes bunch rot or gray mold disease on grapes. In addition, sulfur dioxide is used in combination with carbon dioxide to treat for black widow spider on grapes in warehouse settings. The sodium metabisulfite products are composed of the anhydrous, solid active ingredient contained in semisealed pads which are added to containers holding grapes prior to shipping. The pads absorb moisture generated by grapes, and release low levels of sulfur dioxide in the range of 1-5 ppm. EPA has determined that the data base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that products containing inorganic sulfites will be eligible for reregistration , provided the risks are mitigated either in the manner described in the RED or by another means that achieves equivalent risk reduction. Upon submission of any required product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address any concerns identified in the RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make final reregistration decisions under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing inorganic sulfites. Although the inorganic sulfites RED was signed on July 11, 2006, certain components of the document, which did not affect the final regulatory decision, were undergoing final editing at that time. On September 21, 2006, the Agency received additional data regarding the rate of absorption of sulfur dioxide into the fruit and packaging material during treatment of grapes for black widow spider. As a result of this information, the Agency has published this amendment to the inorganic sulfites RED. This amendment also includes a table summarizing the label changes required by the RED. Initially, the Agency expected sulfur dioxide concentrations following black widow spider treatment to be too high for buffer zones to be a feasible option to address bystander exposure concerns. However, considering the additional absorption data, the Agency is currently able to establish practical buffer zones as an option to using scrubbers to reduce sulfur dioxide release concentrations. None of these additions or changes alter the conclusions documented in the July 11, 2006 inorganic sulfites RED. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the ** Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. EPA can expeditiously reach decisions for pesticides like inorganic sulfites, which have low use, and stakeholders. Once EPA assesses uses and risks for such low risk pesticides, the Agency may go directly to a decision and prepare a document summarizing its findings, such as the inorganic sulfites RED. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public in finding ways to effectively mitigate pesticide risks. Inorganic sulfites, however, pose few risks that require mitigation. The Agency therefore is issuing the inorganic sulfites RED, its risk assessments, and related support materials simultaneously for public comment. The comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for inorganic sulfites. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. EPA will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the inorganic sulfites RED will be implemented as it is now presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

The new requirements serve to streamline the existing practice of franchise negotiation and review. Therefore, we believe that the new requirements will reduce burdens on companies with fewer than 25 employees. We anticipate this specificity will streamline this process for companies with fewer than 25 employees, and that these requirements will not burden these companies. Federal Communications Commission.

The Commission adopted bidding credits for use by winning bidders who pledge facilities and provide service to federally-recognized tribal areas that have a telephone service penetration rate at or below 70 percent. In setting out the bidding credit, the Commission noted that communities on tribal lands have had less access to telecommunications services than any other segment of the U.S. population. For information collection purposes, a winning bidder credit to serve a qualifying tribal and within a particular market must indicate on the long-form application (FCC Form 601) that it intends to serve a qualifying tribal land within that market; within 180 days after the filing deadline for the long-form application, amend its long-form application to identify the tribal lands it intends to serve and attach a certification from the tribal government stating that:
(1)The tribal government authorizes the winning bidder to site facilities and provide service on its tribal land;
(2)the tribal area to be served by the winning bidder constitutes qualifying tribal land;
(3)the tribal government has not and will not enter into an exclusive contract with the applicant precluding entry by other carriers, and will not unreasonably discriminate among wireless carriers seeking to provide on the qualifying tribal land; and
(4)provide certification of the telephone penetration rates demonstrating that the tribal land has a penetration level at or below 70 percent. Also, each winning bidder must within 180 after the filing deadline for the FCC Form 601, certify by endorsing the Schedule B of the FCC Form 601, that it will comply with the build-out requirements and consult with the tribal government regarding the location of the facilities and deployment of service on the tribal land; within 15 days of the third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, file a notification (Schedule K of the FCC Form 601) that it has constructed and is operating a system capable of serving 75 percent of the population of the qualifying tribal land for which the credit was awarded; and repay within 30 days of the third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, the bidding credit amount in its entirety, plus interest, if it fails to provide the post-construction notification (Schedule K of the FCC Form 601) required by 47 CFR 1.2110(f)(3)(vi). In addition, a winning bidder seeking a credit in excess of the amount calculated under the Commission's bidding credit formula must:
(1)Submit a waiver request demonstrating that the infrastructure costs exceed the amount of the standard bidding credit; and
(2)include a certification by an independent auditor that the estimated costs are reasonable. A winning bidder receiving a higher credit must within 15 days of the third anniversary of the initial license grant, file a certification that the credit amount was spent on infrastructure to provide wireless coverage to qualifying tribal lands, which also includes a final report prepared by an independent auditor verifying that the infrastructure costs are reasonable to comply with the Commission's build-out requirements. The Commission believes that the lack of telecommunications services puts affected tribal communities at a social and economic disadvantage. This information will be used to ensure that tribal communities within federally-recognized tribal areas have access to wireless telecommunications services equivalent to that of the nation.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop; request for comments. SUMMARY: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ)and the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)are announcing a 2-day joint public workshop entitled “Implementation of Risk Minimization Action Plans (RiskMAPs) to Support Quality Use of Pharmaceuticals: Opportunities and Challenges.” This public workshop is intended to seek constructive input from a wide range of stakeholders, including clinicians, pharmacists, patients, third party payers of care, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, researchers, and innovators in health information technology (HIT), to help in the development and implementation of mechanisms to minimize the risks of pharmaceuticals with unusual safety and patient monitoring concerns. This meeting is an initial step that is part of FDA's commitment to monitor the performance of RiskMAPs consistent with the goal articulated in the proposed PDUFA IV agreement to undertake regular follow up of these plans. DATES: The public workshop will be held on June 25 and 26, 2007, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. See section III of this document for information on deadline and on how to register to attend or present at the meeting. We are opening a docket to receive your written or electronic comments. Written or electronic comments must be submitted to the docket by July 31, 2007. ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), 540 Gaither Rd., John M. Eisenberg Bldg., Rockville, MD 20850. Submit electronic comments to *http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/oc/dockets/comments/commentdocket.cfm* . Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee Lemley, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-443-5392, FAX: 301-827-4312, e-mail: *Coralee.Lemley@fda.hhs.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Risk minimization action plans (RiskMAPs) are safety programs designed to minimize significant risks of a product by using one or more risk minimization tools. A variety of risk minimization tools have been used; these tools are broadly categorized as follows:
(1)Education and outreach tools intended to inform patients and healthcare practitioners
(HCPs)about a product's risks and measures that should be taken to prevent or mitigate the risks;
(2)Reminder systems intended to prompt or guide HCPs and/or patients in prescribing, dispensing, or using a product in ways that minimize risk; and
(3)performance-linked access
(PLA)systems that link product access to required laboratory testing or other documentation. The latter two categories have exhibited some success in minimizing risk, but may lead to disruptions in medical and pharmacy practice and unintended consequences, such as obstructing patient access to a product's benefits. It is the latter two tool categories (Reminder and PLA systems) that are the primary focus of this workshop. The following are a few of the products with Reminder or PLA systems: Isotretinoin (iPLEDGE), Thalidomide (STEPS), and Tysabri (TOUCH). The workshop objectives are as follows:
(1)Initiate constructive dialogue and information-sharing among regulators, researchers, and organizations and individuals affected by RiskMAP programs, particularly those using Reminder and PLA systems;
(2)share key lessons learned about how to design and implement effective risk management systems to accommodate and promote quality healthcare and pharmacy practices; and
(3)explore how tools being actively developed (such as electronic prescribing and integrated electronic health and medical records) and used to support high-quality, evidence-based practice may improve the development of RiskMAPs where Reminder and PLA systems are used or being considered for use. Panel discussions as well as stakeholder presentations and testimony will focus on implementation strategies using Reminder and PLA systems to promote appropriate behavior changes to optimize patient outcomes, autonomy, access, cost, and logistics while reducing drug risks. We invite presentations that suggest ways to mitigate drug safety risks by improving healthcare system processes or emerging health information technologies. Examples might include linkages of electronic prescribing to laboratory or to patient electronic health records designed to improve the effectiveness of risk minimization efforts. AHRQ and FDA are working together to refine the conference agenda and invite speakers. The agenda will be made available at *http://www.fda.gov/cder/meeting/riskMAPs.htm* not later than June 15, 2007. We are seeking broad participation by physicians, pharmacists, patients, health care quality and safety researchers, health systems officials, and payers of care. We anticipate issuing a summary of the conference findings, including a discussion of implications and next steps for further research or regulatory guidance development. II. Comments The agency is interested in hearing comments at the public workshop or receiving written comments (see ADDRESSES ) on the following issues:
(1)Based on the diversity of experiences of different groups in implementing existing Reminder and PLA system RiskMAPs, what lessons have been learned that can be applied to future programs in the following areas: • Minimizing risks; • Maintaining provider and patient access to therapeutic choices; • Minimizing burdens on the healthcare system; • Being compatible with diverse technologies and settings of care; • Avoiding adverse unintended consequences.
(2)How can healthcare information technology be used to assist quality prescribing, dispensing, and patient use to improve the effectiveness of RiskMAPs for drugs with risks where Reminder and PLA systems are used or likely to be used? How might HIT solutions be pursued and applied in light of the underdeveloped use of this technology in healthcare?
(3)How might professional organizations, third party payers of care, and others support the appropriate use of medications with processes or requirements such as those used with Reminder and PLA system RiskMAPs?
(4)Who are the relevant stakeholders in healthcare to involve in the design and choice of risk minimization tools? How can these stakeholders be best engaged in meaningful and productive partnerships and collaborations?
(5)Which activities and research should be pursued to develop a strong evidence base of healthcare system approaches, processes, and tools that support appropriate use of medications with safety problems where Reminder and PLA RiskMAPs are being used or considered for use?
(6)What partnerships will support evaluations of effectiveness of RiskMAPs or pilot interventions to minimize risk and promote appropriate medication prescribing, dispensing, and use?
(7)What future actions should AHRQ and FDA take to promote continued collaborations and contributions to the high-quality, appropriate use of medications with RiskMAPs? III.
