BILLING CODE 4140-01-M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Institute for Child Health and Human Development; National Children's Study 2007 Research Plan ACTION: Notice; opportunity for review and comment. SUMMARY: Attached is the proposed Research Plan for the National Children's Study (NCS). The purpose of this notice is to inform scientific reviewers, professional colleagues, contributors, and all who are interested in this ground-breaking initiative, of the opportunity for review and comment.

The Research Plan describes the Study's background, design, measures, and the rationale for their selections in sufficient detail so that readers can understand the basis of the Study and how it will be carried out. This plan was developed with input from scientists and other professionals across the country and from multiple federal agencies, especially the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We welcome constructive comments and proposals for how the National Children's Study might address the pressing health concerns of our nation's children even more effectively. Procedures for commenting and communicating about the Research Plan are found on the NCS Web site at: *http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov/research/research_plan/index.cfm.* DATES: Submit responses to the National Children's Study (see below) on or before September 25, 2007.

Telephone: 301-594-9147, Fax: 301-480-1222, e-mail: *ncsinfo@mail.nih.gov,* Internet at: *http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Children's Study is a long-term study of child health conducted in the United States. By following 100,000 children from before birth to age 21, Study researchers hope to better understand how children's genes and their environments interact to affect their health and development.

In the Study, “environment” includes factors such as: Air, water, and house dust; what children eat; how they are cared for; the safety of their neighborhoods; and how often they see a doctor. The goal of the National Children's Study is to provide information that will ultimately lead to improvements in the health, development, and well-being of children. The primary aim of the Study is to investigate the separate and combined effects of environmental exposures (chemical, biological, physical, psychosocial) as well as gene-environment interactions on pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and precursors of adult disease.

The Study will examine important health issues, including: birth defects and pregnancy-related problems, injuries, asthma, obesity and diabetes, and behavior, learning, and mental health disorders. By establishing links between children's environments and their health, and charting their development through infancy, childhood, and early adulthood, the Study hopes to determine the root causes of many childhood and adult diseases. Findings from the Study will benefit all Americans by providing researchers, health care providers, and public health officials with information from which to develop prevention strategies, health and safety guidelines, and possibly new treatments and cures for disease.

The Study will employ a national probability sampling approach to select locations for conduct of the study. The sampling design utilizes a multistage clustered approach. In the first stage, 105 locations (generally corresponding to single counties) were randomly selected from all U.S. counties. Seven of the locations will serve as the Vanguard Locations and will participate in the pilot phase of the Study. Because the focus of the study includes assessment of the impact of exposures that occur early in pregnancy, both pregnant women and their partners, and women of childbearing age, comprise the initial target population for enrollment in each of the Study Locations.

At the time of enrollment, participants will be asked to provide written informed consent for participation in the study. Three distinct groups will be enrolled and followed: Pregnant women and their partners, couples planning pregnancy, and women not currently planning pregnancy but with some probability of becoming pregnant during the four year enrollment timeframe. The National Children's Study is in a unique position to answer many questions regarding the effects of environmental exposures on the long-term health of children.

The focus on exposures prior to and early in pregnancy is a unique feature of this study, as is the breadth of planned exposure and outcome measurements. As technology continues to evolve, stored data specimens (biologic and environmental) will provide a valuable resource to answer important questions for future generations. The prospective longitudinal design of the study will permit an in-depth examination of the effects of environmental exposures as they unfold over the course of development.

This will include an unprecedented, process-oriented understanding of how exposures at particular points in development lead to both immediate and long-term consequences for children, and what circumstances, characteristics, or genetic predispositions mediate or moderate the relation between exposure and outcome. The size and representative nature of the sample will permit both valid inferences about the U.S. population as a whole, and exploration of subgroup-specific patterns of adaptation and maladapation.

Additionally, the data collected for the Study will provide a platform for future research. Data, biological samples, and environmental samples will be available for future studies as science evolves and new questions arise. The Study will serve as an exceptional resource both for science and for society. Duane Alexander, Director, National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health.

(212)962-2431. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION A. Description of Proposed Action The Proposed Action is located in Manhattan, New York County, which has been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)as a moderate non-attainment area for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter (PM 10 ), a non-attainment area for particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter (PM 2.5 ), and a moderate non-attainment area for the 8-hour ozone standard. New York County was previously designated by the EPA as a severe non-attainment area for the 1-hour ozone standard. The area is in attainment for all other criteria pollutants: Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), lead, sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO). LMDC's review has been conducted consistent with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart B: “Determining Conformity of Federal Actions to State or Federal Implementation Plans” issued on November 30, 1993 (as amended on July 17, 2006 to address PM 2.5 emissions). LMDC has determined that, during the peak construction year of 2008, potential emissions for all the criteria pollutants would be below the *de minimis* thresholds established under federal regulations at 40 CFR 93.153(b) which are currently applicable in New York County. Nonetheless, the construction emissions could exceed the 25 tons per year

(tpy)annual nitrogen oxides (NO X ) threshold for severe ozone non-attainment areas, which was applicable to New York County under the previous 1-hour ozone standard designation, and which threshold is currently an issue subject to litigation in federal court. Accordingly, LMDC has prepared its Draft Conformity Determination to demonstrate that the federally-funded portion of the Proposed Action would conform with the 1-hour ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP). Pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR 93.153(h)(1), this notice lists the proposed activities that are presumed to conform to the New York ozone SIP and the basis for this presumption. B. Background The Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, defines a non-attainment area

(NAA)as a geographic region that has been designated as not meeting one or more of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Proposed Action is located in New York County, which has been designated by the EPA as a moderate NAAQS NAA for PM 10 , a NAA for PM 2.5 , and a moderate NAA for ozone. The area is in attainment for all other criteria pollutants: Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), lead, sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO). EPA had re-designated New York City as in attainment for CO on April 19, 2002 (67 FR 19337); the CAA requires that a maintenance plan ensure continued compliance with the CO NAAQS for former NAAs. A State Implementation Plan

(SIP)is a state's plan on how it will meet the NAAQS under the deadlines established by the CAA. In November 1998, New York State submitted its Phase II Alternative Attainment Demonstration for Ozone, which addressed attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS by 2007 (New York submitted subsequent filings to EPA in subsequent years). On February 4, 2002, EPA approved New York's 1-hour ozone SIP (67 FR 5170). The general conformity requirements in 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart B, apply to those federal actions that are located in a non-attainment or maintenance area, and that are not subject to transportation conformity requirements at 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart T, or Part 93, Subpart A, where the action's direct and indirect emissions have the potential to emit one or more of the criteria pollutants or precursors, in the case of ozone and PM 2.5 , at emission rates equal to or exceeding the prescribed rates at 40 CFR 93.153(b), or where the action encompasses 10 percent or more of a NAA or maintenance area's total emissions inventory for that pollutant. In the case of New York County, the prescribed annual rates are 50 tons of VOCs and 100 tons of NO X (ozone precursors in moderate 8-hour ozone NAA and PM 2.5 precursors in PM 2.5 NAA), 100 tons of CO (CO maintenance area), 100 tons of PM 10 (moderate PM 10 NAA), 100 tons of PM 2.5 (PM 2.5 NAA), and 100 tons of SO 2 (PM 2.5 precursor in PM 2.5 NAA). LMDC has determined that the total annual direct and indirect emissions of all such criteria pollutants from the Proposed Action are less than the *de minimis* rates prescribed in 40 CFR 93.153(b), as currently in effect, that would trigger the requirement to conduct a general conformity determination. Therefore, a general conformity determination is not necessarily required by current federal regulations. Nonetheless, temporarily, during construction, annual NO X emissions are predicted to exceed the threshold of 25 tons per year that would apply to a severe ozone non-attainment area under the former 1-hour ozone NAAQS. Accordingly, LMDC has prepared a Draft Conformity Determination to demonstrate the Proposed Action's conformity with the ozone SIP. C. Requirements of the Conformity Determination The purpose of the conformity analysis is to establish that the Proposed Action would conform to the New York ozone SIP, thereby demonstrating that total direct and indirect emissions of the ozone precursors, in this case NO X , from the project, would not: • Cause or contribute to any new violation of any standard in the area; • interfere with provisions in the applicable SIP for maintenance of any standard; • increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation of any standard in any area; or • delay timely attainment of any standard or any required interim emission reductions or other milestones in the SIP for purposes of— 1. A demonstration of reasonable further progress (RFP), 2. A demonstration of attainment, or 3. A maintenance plan. For the purposes of a general conformity determination, direct and indirect emissions are defined as follows (40 CFR 93.152): • *Direct Emissions:* Those emissions of a criteria pollutant or its precursors that are caused or initiated by the Federal action and occur at the same time and place as the action; • *Indirect Emissions:* Those emissions of a criteria pollutant or its precursors that— 1. Are caused by the Federal action, but may occur later in time and/or may be further removed in distance from the action itself but are still reasonably foreseeable; and 2. The Federal agency can practicably control and will maintain control over due to a continuing program responsibility of the Federal agency. LMDC has determined that the predicted emissions due to the Proposed Action during construction that should be subject to its general conformity review would include direct emissions from

(1)Non-road engines operating on-site during construction and

(2)marine vessels carrying materials to and from the site and conducting other work along the waterfront, and

(3)emissions from construction-related vehicles traveling to and from the site. D. Presumption of Conformity The Proposed Action would be located in an area previously designated as a severe ozone non-attainment area under the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. The NO X emissions during two years of construction were predicted to potentially exceed the prescribed level for severe ozone non-attainment areas (25 tons per year). Therefore, LMDC has determined the following: • The methods for estimating direct and indirect emissions from the Proposed Action meet the requirements of 40 CFR 93.159. • The Proposed Action was predicted to result in the emission of up to 70.5 tons and 31.2 tons of NO X per year in 2008 and 2009, respectively. • All construction-related NO X emissions, including those from the Proposed Action, are included in the emissions budget specified in the New York State Implementation Plan for Ozone—Phase II Alternative Attainment Demonstration. • The Proposed Action does not cause or contribute to any new violation, or increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation, of the standards for the pollutants addressed in 40 CFR 93.158. • The Proposed Action does not violate any requirements or milestones in the ozone SIP. • Based on these determinations, the Proposed Action is presumed to conform to the ozone SIP for the project area. The activities that are presumed to conform include all construction-related activities that will receive federal funding for the East River Waterfront Esplanade and Piers Project.

(202)708-2565 (these telephone numbers are not toll-free), or call the toll-free Title V information line at 1-800-927-7588. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411), as amended, HUD is publishing this Notice to identify Federal buildings and other real property that HUD has reviewed for suitability for use to assist the homeless. The properties were reviewed using information provided to HUD by Federal landholding agencies regarding unutilized and underutilized buildings and real property controlled by such agencies or by GSA regarding its inventory of excess or surplus Federal property. This Notice is also published in order to comply with the December 12, 1988 Court Order in *National Coalition for the Homeless* v. *Veterans Administration,* No. 88-2503-OG (D.D.C.). Properties reviewed are listed in this Notice according to the following categories: Suitable/available, suitable/unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and unsuitable. The properties listed in the three suitable categories have been reviewed by the landholding agencies, and each agency has transmitted to HUD:

(1)Its intention to make the property available for use to assist the homeless,

(2)its intention to declare the property excess to the agency's needs, or

(3)a statement of the reasons that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use as facilities to assist the homeless. Properties listed as suitable/available will be available exclusively for homeless use for a period of 60 days from the date of this Notice. Where property is described as for “off-site use only” recipients of the property will be required to relocate the building to their own site at their own expense. Homeless assistance providers interested in any such property should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed to John Hicks, Division of Property Management, Program Support Center, HHS, room 5B-17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857;

(301)443-2265. (This is not a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the interested provider an application packet, which will include instructions for completing the application. In order to maximize the opportunity to utilize a suitable property, providers should submit their written expressions of interest as soon as possible. For complete details concerning the processing of applications, the reader is encouraged to refer to the interim rule governing this program, 24 CFR part 581. For properties listed as suitable/to be excess, that property may, if subsequently accepted as excess by GSA, be made available for use by the homeless in accordance with applicable law, subject to screening for other Federal use. At the appropriate time, HUD will publish the property in a Notice showing it as either suitable/available or suitable/unavailable. For properties listed as suitable/unavailable, the landholding agency has decided that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use to assist the homeless, and the property will not be available. Properties listed as unsuitable will not be made available for any other purpose for 20 days from the date of this Notice. Homeless assistance providers interested in a review by HUD of the determination of unsuitability should call the toll free information line at 1-800-927-7588 for detailed instructions or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the address listed at the beginning of this Notice. Included in the request for review should be the property address (including zip code), the date of publication in the **Federal Register** , the landholding agency, and the property number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We initiate a 5-year reviews of eastern prairie fringed orchid, Hine's emerald dragonfly, Fassett's locoweed, Kirtland's warbler, and white cat's paw pearly mussel under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). We request any new information and appropriate data since their original listing or most recent status review that document the need to delist or reclassify these species. A 5-year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the classification of a listed species is appropriate. It is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will make a finding of whether these species are properly classified under section 4(c)(2)(B) of the Act. Under the Act, we maintain the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plant Species

(List)at 50 CFR 17.11 and 17.12. We amend the List by publishing final rules in the **Federal Register** . The List is available on our Internet site at *http://www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife.html#species.* Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we conduct a review of listed species at least once every 5 years. Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that we determine

(1)Whether a species no longer meets the definition of threatened or endangered and should be removed from the List (delisted);

(2)whether a species more properly meets the definition of threatened and should be reclassified from endangered to threatened; or

(3)whether a species more properly meets the definition of endangered and should be reclassified from threatened to endangered. Using the best scientific and commercial data available, a species will be considered for delisting if the data substantiate that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the following reasons:

(1)The species is considered extinct;

(2)the species is considered to be recovered; and/or

(3)the original data available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification requires a separate rulemaking process. Definitions To help you submit information about the species we are reviewing, we provide the following definitions: *Species* includes any species or subspecies of fish or wildlife or plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate which interbreeds when mature. *Endangered species* means any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. *Threatened species* means any species that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the **Federal Register** announcing those species currently under active review. This announces our active review of eastern prairie fringed orchid, Hine's emerald dragonfly, Fassett's locoweed, Kirtland's warbler, and white cat's paw pearly mussel.

E7-14535 Filed 7-26-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Notice of Availability of the Draft Revised Recovery Plan for the Apache Trout ( Oncorhynchus apache ) AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of document availability. SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of the draft revised Recovery Plan for the Apache trout ( *Oncorhynchus apache* ). The Apache trout currently inhabits the upper Salt River and Little Colorado River drainages in Arizona. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on this draft revised Recovery Plan. The Service will also accept any new information received during the comment period to complete its 5-year review of the Apache trout. DATES: The comment period for this draft revised Recovery Plan (Recovery Plan) closes September 25, 2007. Comments on the Recovery Plan must be received by the closing date to ensure consideration. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the Recovery Plan can obtain a paper or CD copy from the Arizona Fishery Resources Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 39, Pinetop, Arizona 85935, telephone 928/338-4288, facsimile 928/338-4763, e-mail: *Stewart_Jacks@fws.gov* . The Recovery Plan may also be obtained from the Internet at *http://www.fws.gov/endangered* by selecting “Species Search” from the left-side menu bar and entering the species' name in the “Search Species” text box. If you wish to comment on the Recovery Plan, you may submit your comments and materials to the Arizona Fishery Resources Office. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stewart Jacks, Project Leader, at the Pinetop address above. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in 1988, requires that public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment be provided during recovery plan development. The Service will consider all information presented during a public comment period prior to approval of each new or revised recovery plan. The Service and other Federal agencies will also take these comments into account in the course of implementing recovery plans. The Service is also conducting a 5-year review for Apache trout under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act. A 5-year review is a periodic process, based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review, conducted to ensure that the classification of a species as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered and Threatened Species

(List)is accurate. We initiated the 5-year review for Apache trout on April 21, 2006 (71 FR 20714). Because the Service has not yet completed this review, we will use any new information received during the comment period for the revised Recovery Plan to complete the 5-year review for Apache trout. Based on the results of the 5-year review, we will make a recommendation whether the Apache trout should retain its current classification as threatened, be reclassified to endangered, or removed from the List (delisted). The Service will undertake a separate rulemaking process if the Apache trout is to be reclassified or delisted. The document submitted for review is the revised Recovery Plan for the Apache trout. Currently, the Apache trout is believed to occur in a 190 km (118 mi) reach of the upper Salt River and Little Colorado River drainages in Arizona. The species was listed as federally endangered in 1967 (32 FR 4001) and reclassified to threatened in 1975 (40 FR 29863). Critical habitat has not been designated. Throughout much of its historic range, the decline of the Apache trout may be attributed to destruction, drastic modification, or severe curtailment of its habitat and hybridization with introduced trout species. The Recovery Plan includes scientific information about the species and provides criteria and actions needed to delist (recover) the species. Delisting of the species may be considered when 30 self-sustaining populations that maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the remaining genetic diversity of the species have been established within historical range and threats to the populations have been identified, assessed, and ameliorated. Recovery actions designed to achieve this criterion include:

(1)Complete any regulatory compliance required under the National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Water Act, or other applicable legislation to implement recovery actions;

(2)Construct new fish barriers and maintain existing fish barriers;

(3)Remove or minimize undesirable fish using piscicides or other feasible means in all or portions of recovery streams;

(4)Establish and maintain 30 self-sustaining populations of pure Apache trout; and,

(5)Monitor all populations. The original Apache trout Recovery Plan was finalized in 1979 and revised in 1983. This draft revised Recovery Plan retains the 1983 criterion to establish and maintain 30 self-sustaining populations; however, it limits recovery populations to those within historic range. It also includes additional objectives to ameliorate threats relative to the five listing factors. The revised recovery strategy allows for the use of hatchery propagated Apache trout to repatriate a renovated and secured stream if such populations cannot be established by moving fish from a relict or replicated population. A post-delisting management plan will incorporate genetic considerations. The Recovery Plan is being submitted for review to all interested parties. Peer review will be conducted concurrent with public review. After consideration of comments received during the public and peer review period, the Recovery Plan will be submitted for final approval. Public Comments Solicited The Service solicits written comments on the Recovery Plan described. All comments received by the date specified above will be considered prior to approval of the final Recovery Plan and new information will also be used to complete the 5-year review. Public Availability of Comments 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.
