(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement *Title:* Sensitive Security Information Threat Assessments. *Type of Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *OMB Control Number:* 1652-0042. *Forms(s):* Security Threat Assessment Application. *Affected Public:* Individuals seeking access to Sensitive Security Information

(SSI)for use in civil proceedings in Federal court. *Abstract:* TSA is seeking to renew this control number for the maximum three-year period in order to continue compliance with sec. 525 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007 (DHS Appropriations Act), and to continue the process TSA developed whereby a party seeking access to SSI in a civil proceeding in federal court that demonstrates a substantial need of relevant SSI in the preparation of the party's case, and that the party is unable without undue hardship to obtain the substantial equivalent of the information by other means, may request that the party or party's representative be granted conditional access to the SSI at issue in the case. Additionally, court reporters that are required to record or transcribe testimony containing specific SSI and do not have a current clearance required for access to classified national security information as defined by E.O. 12958 will need to request to be granted access to SSI. TSA will use the information collected to conduct the threat assessment for the purpose of determining whether the provision of such access to the information for the proceeding presents a risk of harm to the nation. The results of the threat assessment will be used to make a final determination on whether the individual may be granted access to the SSI at issue in the case. *Number of Respondents:* 180. *Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* An estimated 180 hours annually.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Conversion of Unpatented Oil Placer Mining Claim to Noncompetitive Oil and Gas Lease. SUMMARY: The Mineral Leasing Act provides a means by which a mining claimant may seek to convert an oil placer mining claim to a noncompetitive oil and gas lease if the claim was deemed conclusively abandoned because of the claimant's failure to timely file certain assessment work filings required by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). 30 U.S.C. 188(f). Since 1993, Congress has required annual maintenance fees in lieu of the assessment work filings required by FLPMA. On August 31, 1994, MW Petroleum Corporation and its co-claimants failed to pay the annual maintenance fee for oil placer mining claim, WMC-71464. On May 31, 1995, the Bureau of Land Management

(BLM)notified MW Petroleum and its co-claimants that the oil placer mining claim was null and void by operation of law. On August 24, 1995, in accordance with the requirements outlined in 30 U.S.C. 188(f), MW Petroleum Corporation filed a petition for conversion of the abandoned unpatented oil placer mining claim to a noncompetitive oil and gas lease. The claim to be converted is the Buffalo 19 unpatented oil placer mining claim, which is located in Park County, Wyoming. The description of the land is as follows: T. 48 N., R. 100 W., 6th PM, WY Sec. 35: SW Containing 160.00 acres. The unpatented oil placer mining claim was validly located before February 24, 1920, and is currently producing gas. The mining claim was deemed null and void by operation of law because of the claimant's failure to timely pay the maintenance fee required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of August 10, 1993, Pub. L. No. 105-240, § 116. The statutory forfeiture date was August 31, 1994. MW Petroleum has shown to the BLM's satisfaction that its failure to pay the maintenance fee was inadvertent. In 1998, MW Petroleum Corporation and Apache Corporation merged into one company, known by the name Apache Corporation. Consequently, when issued, the lease will be issued to Apache Corporation. The lease will be effective August 31, 1994, the statutory date of abandonment of the mining claim. The BLM has not issued any other oil and gas lease affecting any of the lands covered by the abandoned oil placer mining claim. The prospective lessee has agreed to the noncompetitive oil and gas lease terms. The BLM has assigned serial number WYW 137447 to the proposed noncompetitive lease and will issue the lease thirty days after the publication date of this **Federal Register** notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bureau of Land Management, Pamela J. Lewis, Chief, Branch of Fluid Minerals Adjudication, at

(307)775-6176. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The prospective lessee has paid the required $500 administrative fee and $125 to reimburse the Department for the cost of this **Federal Register** notice. In addition, the prospective lessee has paid all back rental and royalties from September 1994, to the present. MW Petroleum Corporation has submitted production reports for the period from September 1994, to present. The production during this period was approximately 5,242 MCF of gas. The noncompetitive oil and gas lease will require rental at $5 per acre or fraction thereof per year and royalty at the rate of 12 1/2 percent. Pamela J. Lewis, Chief, Branch of Fluid Minerals Adjudication. [FR Doc. E7-11619 Filed 6-15-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-22-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation Regional Water Management Plan for the Sacramento River Contractors AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: The Regional Water Management Plan for the Sacramento River Contractors (Regional Plan) is available for review. Participating Contractors include: • Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District • Meridian Farms Water Company • Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District • Sutter Mutual Water Company • Provident Irrigation District • Pelger Mutual Water Company • Princeton-Codora-Glenn Irrigation District • Natomas Central Mutual Water Company • Reclamation District No. 108 • Reclamation District No. 1004 Under the authority of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act of 1992 (CVPIA) and the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) developed and published the Regional Criteria for Evaluating Water Management Plans for the Sacramento River Contractors (Regional Criteria) in 2004. The development and implementation of the Regional Criteria for the Sacramento Valley was an alternative pilot program to the current Standard Criteria for Evaluating Water Management Plans (Standard Criteria), as stated in the Water Conservation Administrative Proposal dated March 20, 1997. If the Contracting Officer deems this pilot program to be unsuccessful, the Regional Criteria will be discontinued. All subsequent Plans would then be evaluated under the current Standard Criteria. The above entities have developed the Regional Plan, which Reclamation has evaluated and preliminarily determined to meet the requirements of the Regional Criteria. DATES: All public comments must be received by August 2, 2007. ADDRESSES: Please mail comments to Ms. Laurie Sharp, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, California, 95825, or contact Ms. Sharp at 916-978-5232 (TDD 978-5608), or e-mail at *lsharp@mp.usbr.gov.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To be placed on a mailing list for any subsequent information, please contact Ms. Laurie Sharp at the telephone number or e-mail address above. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are inviting the public to comment on the preliminary ( *i.e.* , draft) determination of Regional Plan adequacy. In September 1995, the Department of the Interior (Interior) invited the public to identify any concerns they had regarding implementation of the CVPIA (Title XXXIV of Public Law 102-575). To that end, Interior circulated a draft Administrative Proposal on Water Conservation Criteria on May 13, 1996. One concern that came to light was the applicability of Best Management Practices

(BMPs)in different regions. Some water users had argued that it is inappropriate to establish a single set of criteria for water conservation plans in the CVP service area due to regional variations. In response to this comment, Interior developed Regional Criteria. The Regional Criteria state that the following are excepted from the requirement to prepare a Plan using these Regional Criteria: • All contractors that receive only irrigation water from any Federal Reclamation project and deliver said water to less than 2,000 acres of land. • All contractors that receive less than an annual average of 2,000 acre-feet from any Federal Reclamation project. The Regional Plan contains the following information: 1. Description of the Region Covered by the Plan 2. Inventory of Water Resources 3. Identify Regional Water Measurement Program 4. Analyze Water Management Quantifiable Objectives

(QOs)5. Identify Actions to Implement and Achieve Proposed QOs 6. Establish Monitoring Program 7. Budget and Allocation of Regional Cost 8. Regional Plan Coordination 9. Five-Year Plan Revision Procedure Reclamation evaluated the Regional Plan based on the Regional Criteria. A copy of the Regional Plan will be available for review at Reclamation's Mid-Pacific Regional Office located in Sacramento, California, and the Northern California Area Office located in Willows, California. Comments received in response to this notice will become part of the administrative record and are subject to public inspection. Our practice is to make comments, including names, home addresses, home phone numbers, and email addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their names and/or home addresses, etc., but if you would like us to consider withholding this information, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. In addition, you must present a rationale for withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be released. We will always make submissions from organizations or businesses, or from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety. If you wish to review a copy of the Regional Plans, please contact Ms. Laurie Sharp to find the office nearest you. Dated: May 9, 2007. Richard J.

(c)and

(e)and have been published in the **Federal Register** . See 28 CFR 16.101. JUSTICE/USM-009 System name: Inappropriate Communications/Threat Information System. Security classification: Limited Official Use. System location: Primary System: Investigative Services Division, U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), CS-4, Washington, DC 20530-1000. Decentralized Segments: Each district office of the USMS maintains their own files. The addresses of USMS district offices are available on the Internet at *http://www.usdoj.gov/marshals/usmsofc.html.* Categories of individuals covered by the system: Individuals who have inappropriately communicated with, directly threatened, or pose a threat to USMS protectees, including federal judges, prosecutors, and other court officials. U.S. Marshals, deputies and other law enforcement officers, courtroom security, and federal property and buildings; associates of the threat or inappropriate communication initiator; and individuals reported by state or local agencies to the USMS who have threatened to harm state or local judicial officials. Categories of records in the system: Manual and automated records which consist of information related to the inappropriate communication or threat, including type of communication, the means by which it was issued, and information contained in the communication such as dates, locations, and events; analysis of the communication or threat and other internal USMS correspondence relating to the communication; biographical data including physical description, photograph, and criminal history information—in particular, known history of violence and skills related to the nature of the threat; investigative information including associations with other individuals and dangerous gangs, extremist groups, or other organizations; information on associates including physical descriptions, photographs, numerical identifiers, addresses, driver's license information; and investigative information furnished by other federal, state, territorial, tribal, and local law enforcement or other government agencies and non-government sources. Authority for maintenance of the system: 28 U.S.C. 509, 510, and 561 *et seq.* ; 5 U.S.C. 301; 44 U.S.C. 3101; and 28 CFR 111(c) through (f). Purpose(s): The USMS is required to protect government witnesses, U.S. Attorneys and their assistants, federal jurists and other court officers; to provide for courtroom security; and to assist in protecting federal property and buildings. The USMS also conducts Federal law enforcement activities itself, *e.g.* , warrant apprehension investigations, which subject its officers to security danger. These operations require acquiring information to allow an accurate assessment of the existence and extent of the dangers posed, including specific threats, to aid in responding to specific security assignments and needs, as well as developing protective measures and plans in advance. With the information collected, officials determine and carry out operating plans, funding, personnel, and any special resources needed to counteract threat situations. Individuals reported by State and local agencies to the USMS who have threatened to harm state or local judicial officials often appear before the federal bar as a result of appeals, civil rights suits, continuing criminal behavior, etc. Such individuals may continue their inappropriate communications or threats at the federal level. In that event, information concerning these individuals provided by the state and local agencies assists the USMS in assessing the dangers they pose to federal officials and in developing protective measures and responding to specific security requirements. This information also assists in researching inappropriate communications directed toward judicial officials of all jurisdictions to gain a full and comprehensive picture of the diverse circumstances involved, to analyze trends based upon a statistically reliable study, and to more fully address the problem. Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and purposes of such uses: Records or information may be disclosed:

E7-11543 Filed 6-15-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410-04-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Office of the Secretary Job Corps: Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Proposed Job Corps Center To Be Located North of Roosevelt Highway Between Washington Road and Interstate 285 in College Park, GA AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OSEC), Department of Labor. ACTION: Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Proposed Job Corps Center to be located north of Roosevelt Highway between Washington Road and Interstate 285 in College Park, Georgia. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR part 1500-08) implementing procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Department of Labor, Office of the Secretary (OSEC), in accordance with 29 CFR 11.11(d), gives notice that an Environmental Assessment

(EA)has been prepared for a proposed new Job Corps Center to be located in College Park, Georgia, and that the proposed plan for a new Job Corps Center will have no significant environmental impact. This Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will be made available for public review and comment for a period of 30 days. DATES: Comments must be submitted by July 18, 2007. ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be submitted to Michael F. O'Malley, Office of the Secretary (OSEC), Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-4460, Washington, DC 20210,

(202)693-3108 (this is not a toll-free number). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the EA are available to interested parties by contacting Michael F. O'Malley, Architect, Unit Chief of Facilities, U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the Secretary (OSEC), 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-4460, Washington, DC 20210,

(202)693-3108 (this is not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Environmental Assessment

(EA)summary addresses the proposed construction of a new Job Corps Center near College Park, Georgia. The site for the proposed Job Corps Center is comprised of four parcels of land owned by VFH Captive Insurance Company which total approximately 25.4 acres. The property is currently undeveloped and wooded with the exception of three abandoned residential properties and an abandoned automotive repair garage. The new center will require construction of ten

(10)buildings including eight

(8)single-story buildings and two

(2)two-story buildings. The proposed Job Corps center will provide housing, training, and support services for approximately 515 students. The current facility utilization plan includes include a vocational-educational building, cafeteria/culinary arts building, child development center, recreation building, medical/dental building, maintenance/warehouse building, administration offices, and new dormitories. The construction of the Job Corps Center on this proposed site would be a positive asset to the area in terms of environmental and socioeconomic improvements, and long-term productivity. The proposed Job Corps Center will be a new source of employment opportunity for people in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. The Job Corps program provides basic education, vocational skills training, work experience, counseling, health care and related support services. The program is designed to graduate students who are ready to participate in the local economy. The proposed project will not have any significant adverse impact on any natural systems or resources. No state or federal threatened or endangered species (proposed or listed) have been identified on the subject property. The Job Corps Center construction will not affect any existing historic structures, as there are no historic or archeologically sensitive areas on the proposed property parcel. Air quality and noise levels should not be affected by the proposed development project. Due to the nature of the proposed project, it would not be a significant source of air pollutants or additional noise, except possibly during construction of the facility. All construction activities will be conducted in accordance with applicable noise and air pollution regulations, and all pollution sources will be permitted in accordance with applicable pollution control regulations. The proposed Job Corps Center is not expected to significantly increase the vehicle traffic in the vicinity, since many of the Job Corps Center residents will either live at the Job Corps Center or use public transportation. While some Job Corps Center students and staff may use personal vehicles, their number would not result in a significant increase in vehicular traffic in the area. Access is planned from Roosevelt Highway. Road improvements and/or installation of signals to facilitate site ingress/egress do not appear necessary. Public transportation will be provided by Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority which provides bus and shuttle routes throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. Bus Route 88 travels along Washington Road which bounds the west side of the proposed Job Corp Center site. There are a number of connecting bus routes within walking distance of the site. The proposed project will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding water, sewer, and storm water management infrastructure. The new buildings to be constructed for the proposed Job Corps Center will be tied in to the existing City of Atlanta Watershed Management system. The new buildings to be constructed for the proposed Job Corps Center will also be tied in to the existing Fulton County wastewater treatment system. Georgia Power would provide the electricity for the site. This is not expected to create any significant impact to the regional utility infrastructure. No significant adverse affects to local medical, emergency, fire, and police services are anticipated. The primary medical provider located closest to the proposed Job Corps parcel is South Fulton Medical Center, approximately 6 miles from the proposed Job Corps Center. Nevertheless, the Job Corps center will have a small medical and dental facility as part of the campus for use by the residents, as necessary for providing a ward for sick students with the flu or small non-emergency incapacities. Security services at the Job Corps will be provided by the center's security staff. Law enforcement services are provided by the Fulton County Police Department, located approximately 2.3 miles from the proposed project site. Local fire stations are provided by the Fulton County Fire Department. The fire department has two stations which operate 24 hours a day near the proposed site. Both stations are less than 10 minutes away and will provide all of the necessary fire protection for the center in the near future. The proposed project will not have a significant adverse sociological effect on the surrounding community. Similarly, the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the area. The alternatives considered in the preparation of this FONSI were as follows:

(1)No Action; and

(2)Continue Project as Proposed. The No Action alternative was not selected. The U.S. Department of Labor's goal of improving the Job Corps Program by improving the learning environment at Job Corps Centers would not be met under this alternative. Due to the suitability of the proposed site for establishment of a new Job Corps Center, and the absence of any identified significant adverse environmental impacts from locating a Job Corps Center on the subject property, the “Continue Project as Proposed” alternative was selected. Based on the information gathered during the preparation of the EA, no environmental liabilities, current or historical, were found to exist on the proposed Job Corps Center site. The construction of the Job Corps Center at the Roosevelt Highway between Washington Road and Interstate 285 in College Park, Georgia will not create any significant adverse impacts on the environment. Dated: June 6, 2007. Esther R. Johnson, National Director of Job Corps. [FR Doc.

We are seeking paper concepts for recently completed papers or papers that will be completed prior to the conference. We encourage contributions by researchers from academia, state or local agencies, business organizations, labor associations, research consulting firms and other relevant organizations. *Context:* Each year more than 650,000 inmates are released from Federal and State prisons and return to their communities and families. Released prisoners face many challenges that contribute to a return to criminal activity, re-arrest, and re-incarceration. Joblessness among ex-prisoners has been linked to recidivism rates. 1 1 According to the DOJ, almost three out of five returning inmates will be rearrested and charged with new crimes within three years of their release from prison. Unemployment among ex-prisoners has been estimated at between 25 and 40 percent. 2 Prisoners also demonstrate low levels of educational attainment. Forty percent of adult state prisoners are functionally illiterate and over half of state parole entrants are not high school graduates. 3 2 Joan Petersilia, When Prisoners Come Home: Parole and Prisoner Reentry (Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2003), 119 (citing Peter Finn, Successful Job Placement for Ex-Offenders: The Center for Employment Opportunities. Washington, DC: National Institute of Justice). 3 Joan Petersilia, When Prisoners Come Home: Parole and Prisoner Reentry (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003), 32 (citing Gwen Rubinstein, Getting to Work: How TANF Can Support Ex-Offender Parents in the Transition to Self-Sufficiency (Washington, DC: Legal Action Center, 2001). The White House National Summit on Prisoner Reentry will focus on issues related to impacts, trends, and challenges of prisoner reentry into society, both pre-release and post-release. In addition, this conference will focus on the positive outcomes that faith-based and community organizations and the correctional system can have on lowering recidivism and raising employment for ex-offenders. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to: 1. The impact on recidivism, 4 if any, of an offender's 5 sustained participation in and completion of: 4 Defined most liberally as re-arrest (not necessarily re-incarceration) for parole violation or for new offense within 36 months after release. 5 Defined as adult or juvenile, male or female incarcerated offender. • Any mentoring program involving a volunteer meeting (in person or by video-conference) at least monthly with an offender for at least the last 90 days before and/or the first 90 days after release; • Any post-release program administered by a faith-based or community organization that emphasizes job training, job placement, mentoring, or other transitional services; • Regular, sustained pre-release participation by inmates in vocational training or compensated, skilled prison industry; • Any pre-release program in which inmates have parenting-enrichment training and regular (at least semi-monthly) contact (in person or by video-conference) with one or more of their minor children; • Any pre-release program in which female inmates have daily contact with their infant children on-site; • Regular (at least weekly), sustained pre-release participation by inmates in faith-based or philosophical meetings; • Any post-release program that includes a housing component; • Any pre-release program (residential or non-residential) in a correctional system in which inmates pursue a curriculum on reintegration into their community from a faith-, character-, or philosophically-based perspective; • Any post-release program of re-entry services (e.g., job placement, substance abuse therapy, transitional housing) in which ex-offenders have a genuine choice of service providers, faith-based and secular; • Any pre-release program in which most or all inmates apply and are selected to be housed in the same correctional facility wherein religious or cognitive behavior curriculum and intensive religious programming are provided or required (including “faith-based prisons”); 2. A survey of the domestic and/or international academic literature on any of the offender reentry programs listed as a topic under part 1. 3. Other research on the impact of Faith-Based and Community Organizations on the ability of ex-offenders to successfully reintegrate into society following incarceration (with a particular emphasis on employment and recidivism).
