E7-14229 Filed 7-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-61,036] Jones Apparel Group Incorporated, Internal Production Department, Bristol, PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening On July 10, 2007, the Department, on its own motion, reopened its investigation for the former workers of the subject firm. The date of the petition filed with the Department on behalf of the workers of the subject firm was dated June 16, 2006. The petitioners provided evidence that their petition was submitted but not received and considered by the Department. Therefore, the Department instituted the petition for workers of the subject firm on February 27, 2007 (TA-W-61,036). The investigation resulted in a negative determination that was issued on March 20, 2007. The Department determined that from 2005 through February 2007, Jones Apparel Group Incorporated, Internal Production Department, Bristol, Pennsylvania, decreased employment and production of patterns and samples but did not import patterns and samples or shift that production abroad. The Department has subsequently received documentation from Jones Apparel Group, Incorporated, that the firm increased imports of patterns and samples in 2006. In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance

(ATAA)for older workers. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful consideration of the facts obtained on reopening, I determine that there was an increase in imports of samples and patterns for women's apparel like or directly competitive with those produced by Jones Apparel Group, Incorporated, Internal Production Department, Bristol, Pennsylvania. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following revised determination: “Workers engaged in the production of patterns and samples at Jones Apparel Group, Incorporated, Internal Production Department, Bristol, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 16, 2005 through July 13, 2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246, of the Trade Act of 1974.” Signed in Washington, DC, this 13th day of July 2007.

(202)693-2020. 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 OSH 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 information collection requirements, and their rationale, contained in 29 CFR part 1926, subpart Q Concrete and Masonry Construction are listed below. Paragraph (c)(2) of § 1926.701 requires that signs and barriers be erected to limit employee access to the post-tensioning area during tensioning operations. Paragraphs (a)(2), (j)(1), and (j)(2) warn equipment operators not to activate their equipment if another employee enters the area to perform a task ( *e.g.* , cleaning, inspecting, maintenance, repairing), thereby preventing serious injury or death. Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.703 requires employers to make available, at the jobsite, drawings or plans for: The jack layout, formwork (including shoring equipment), working decks, and scaffolds, as well as any revisions to these documents. Paragraph

(a)of § 1926.705 requires employers engaged in lift-slab operations to have specific designs and plans detailing the lift-slab operation. Drawings, plans and/or designs are developed and kept available at the jobsite as a usual and customary business practice to be used by the various contractors during construction; therefore, OSHA assumes there are no burden hours or costs associated with preparing drawings, plans, or designs and having them at the jobsite. Section 1926.705(b) requires that jacks used for lifting operations be marked to indicate their rated capacity. Manufacturers of jacks rate the equipment as a usual and customary practice; therefore, OSHA assumes there are no burden hours or costs to employers for these marking requirements. 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 Concrete and Masonry Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart Q). The Agency is requesting to increase its current burden hour estimate associated with this Standard from 22,400 hours to 37,488 hours for a total increase of 15,088 hours. The increase results from increasing the number of construction sites. 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:* Concrete and Masonry Construction (29 CFR 1926, Subpart Q). *OMB Number:* 1218-0095. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 468,600. *Frequency:* On occasion. *Average Time per Response:* Five minutes (.08 hour) to post or place warning signs, locks, or tags. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 37,488. *Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance):* $0.

(MPL)With Respect to Launch of Alliant Techsystems Inc.

(ATK)ALV-X1 Suborbital Launch Vehicle at Wallops Flight Facility AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. ACTION: Notice of Insurance Requirement. SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 2458c(b)(2)(B). Per statute, NASA is required to publish the amount of insurance required when a party to an agreement between the Administration and the party, made for the purpose of developing new technology for an experimental aerospace vehicle, has requested indemnification. For the demonstration launch of ATK's new suborbital ALV-X1 launch vehicle at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, carrying experimental aerospace vehicle payloads, as defined in 42 U.S.C. 2458c(d)(3), scheduled for the 1st quarter of Fiscal Year 2008, the Administrator has determined the maximum probable loss to be $15.4 million for Government property, $180,000 for 3rd party property, and $9 million for 3rd party personnel. As a condition for indemnification, analogous to that required by the Commercial Space Launch Act, ATK is required to carry insurance to cover the MPL. Per statute, conditional indemnification may only be provided upon ATK's successful passage of a NASA safety review, and certification of adequate insurance coverage. DATES: NASA may grant conditional indemnification to ATK following the successful passage of a safety review, and certification of adequate insurance coverage, unless, within fifteen

(15)days from the date of this published notice, NASA receives written objections including evidence and argument that establish that indemnification would not be consistent with the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 2458c.

E7-14291 Filed 7-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7510-13-P NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request for comments. SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration

(NARA)publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before August 23, 2007 (Note that the new time period for requesting copies has changed from 45 to 30 days after publication). Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA will send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff usually prepare appraisal memorandums that contain additional information concerning the records covered by a proposed schedule. These, too, may be requested and will be provided once the appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 30 days to submit comments. ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of any records schedule identified in this notice by contacting the Life Cycle Management Division

(NWML)using one of the following means: *Mail:* NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. *E-mail: requestschedule@nara.gov.* *Fax:* 301-837-3698. Requesters must cite the control number, which appears in parentheses after the name of the agency which submitted the schedule, and must provide a mailing address. Those who desire appraisal reports should so indicate in their request. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurence Brewer, Director, Life Cycle Management Division (NWML), National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. Telephone: 301-837-1539. E-mail: *records.mgt@nara.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year Federal agencies create billions of records on paper, film, magnetic tape, and other media. To control this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA's approval, using the Standard Form

(SF)115, Request for Records Disposition Authority. These schedules provide for the timely transfer into the National Archives of historically valuable records and authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent. No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private persons directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether or not they have historical or other value. Besides identifying the Federal agencies and any subdivisions requesting disposition authority, this public notice lists the organizational unit(s) accumulating the records or indicates agency-wide applicability in the case of schedules that cover records that may be accumulated throughout an agency. This notice provides the control number assigned to each schedule, the total number of schedule items, and the number of temporary items (the records proposed for destruction). It also includes a brief description of the temporary records. The records schedule itself contains a full description of the records at the file unit level as well as their disposition. If NARA staff has prepared an appraisal memorandum for the schedule, it too includes information about the records. Further information about the disposition process is available on request.

(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station) Notice of Opportunity to Make Oral or Written Limited Appearance Statements Concerning Proposed License Renewal July 18, 2007. *Before Administrative Judges:* Alex S. Karlin, Chairman. Dr. Richard E. Wardwell. Dr. Thomas S. Elleman. This proceeding concerns the January 25, 2006, application of Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, L.L.C., and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (collectively, Entergy) to renew the operating license for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station in Windham County, Vermont (Operating License No. DPR-28). Entergy seeks to extend this license for an additional twenty years beyond the current expiration date of March 21, 2012. This Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.315(a), the Board will entertain oral limited appearance statements from members of the public regarding the requested license renewal. The limited appearance statement sessions will be held on October 11, 2007, in Brattleboro, Vermont. I. Background and Scope of Proceeding On March 27, 2006, the Commission published a notice of acceptance for docketing of the Entergy renewal application and a notice of opportunity to request a hearing on the application. 71 FR 15,220 (Mar. 27, 2006). Timely requests for hearings and petitions to intervene were filed by four entities: The Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS), the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Town of Marlboro, Vermont, and the New England Coalition (NEC). On June 14, 2006, this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established to conduct this adjudication. 71 FR 34,397 (June 14, 2006). On August 1 and 2, 2006, the Board heard oral argument from the petitioners, Entergy, and the NRC Staff in Brattleboro, Vermont, relating to the admissibility of the proposed contentions. The standing of the petitioners to intervene was uncontested. On September 22, 2006, the Board issued a Memorandum and Order admitting contentions submitted by DPS and NEC, thereby granting two of the requests for a hearing and admitting DPS and NEC as parties to the proceeding. LBP-06-20, 64 NRC 131, 143 (2006). At the same time, the Board granted these two organizations' requests to adopt one another's contentions under 10 CFR 2.309(f)(3). On November 17, 2006, the Board granted the request by the State of New Hampshire to participate in this proceeding as an interested state under 10 CFR 2.315(c). The only admitted DPS contention has now been settled, but since DPS adopted NEC's admitted contentions, it remains a party to the proceeding. 1 1 Licensing Board Order (Approving Settlement of DPS Contention 1) (May 31, 2007) (unpublished). At the present time NEC's three admitted contentions define the scope of this license renewal proceeding and therefore the scope of any limited appearance statements. The contentions are as follows: *NEC Contention 2:* Entergy's License Renewal Application does not include an adequate plan to monitor and manage the effects of aging [due to metal fatigue] on key reactor components that are subject to an aging management review, pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21(a) and an evaluation of time limited aging analysis, pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21(c). *NEC Contention 3:* Entergy's License Renewal Application does not include an adequate plan to monitor and manage aging of the steam dryer during the period of extended operation. *NEC Contention 4:* Entergy's License Renewal Application does not include an adequate plan to monitor and manage aging of plant piping due to flow-accelerated corrosion during the period of extended operation. 2 2 These contentions are specified at LBP-06-20, 64 NRC 131, 183, 187, 192 (2006). If additional contentions are subsequently admitted, or if any of the currently admitted contentions are later settled or dismissed, then the scope of this proceeding, and of any limited appearance statements, will follow the scope of the admitted contentions. II. Notice of Limited Appearance Statement Sessions A. Date, Time, and Location of Oral Limited Appearance Statement Sessions The oral limited appearance sessions will be on the following dates, at the specified location and times: *Date:* Thursday, October 11, 2007. *Time:* 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. *Location:* Latchis Theatre, 50 Main Street, Brattleboro, Vermont. B. Participation Guidelines for Oral Limited Appearance Statements Any person who is not a party will be permitted to make an oral statement setting forth his or her position on matters of concern related to this proceeding. 3 Speakers should be aware that the jurisdiction of this Board and the scope of this proceeding is limited to the license renewal. Limited appearance statements will be transcribed but are not under oath or affirmation and do not constitute testimony or evidence. The purpose of limited appearance statements is to allow members of the public to alert the Board and the parties to areas relating to the license renewal and the admitted contentions in which evidence may need to be adduced, and to assist the Board in its consideration of these issues. 4 3 The parties to this proceeding are Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, L.L.C. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., the NRC Staff, the Department of Public Service of the State of Vermont, and the New England Coalition. The State of New Hampshire is participating in the proceeding as an interested state. 4 *See* 10 CFR 2.315(a); *Iowa Electric Light & Power Co.* (Duane Arnold Energy Center), ALAB-108, 6 AEC 195, 196 n.4 (1973); 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix A, § III(b) (2004), *deleted* Final Rule, *Changes to Adjudicatory Process,* 69 FR 2182, 2274 (Jan. 14, 2004). Oral limited appearance statements will be entertained during the hours specified above, or such lesser time as may be necessary to accommodate the speakers who are present. If all scheduled and unscheduled speakers present at a session have made a presentation, the Board reserves the right to terminate the session before the ending times listed above. In order to allow all interested persons an opportunity to address the Board, the time allotted for each oral limited appearance statement will be no more than five minutes, and may be further limited depending on the number of written requests to make an oral statement that are submitted in accordance with section C below and/or the number of persons present at the designated times. At the outset of each statement, the speaker should identify himself or herself. Members of the public who plan to attend the limited appearance sessions are advised that security measures may be employed at the entrance to the facility, including searches of hand-carried items such as briefcases or backpacks. Signs no larger than 18″ by 18″ will be permitted during the limited appearance sessions, but may not be attached to sticks, held up, or moved about in the room. * Cf.

Submitting a Request to Make an Oral Limited Appearance Statement Persons wishing to make an oral statement who have submitted a timely written request to do so will be given priority over those who have not filed such a request. To be considered timely, a written request to make an oral statement must either be mailed, faxed, or sent by e-mail so as to be received by 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, October 5, 2007. The request should specify the session (afternoon or evening) during which the requester wishes to make an oral statement. Based on its review of the requests received by October 5, 2007, the Licensing Board reserves the right to cancel or shorten either of the sessions due to a lack of public interest. *Written requests to make an oral statement should be submitted to:* *Mail:* Office of the Secretary, Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. *Fax:*

Written Limited Appearance Statements (In Lieu of Oral Statements) A written limited appearance statement may be submitted to the Board regarding this proceeding at any time.

Such statements should be sent to the Office of the Secretary using the methods prescribed above, with a copy to the Licensing Board Chairman. A person who has already filed a written limited appearance statement in this matter is not required to resubmit it, but should notify the Board, as specified above, if he or she wishes to make an oral statement during the October sessions.
