We request your participation in *Grants.gov.* If you choose to submit your application electronically, you must use the Governmentwide *Grants.gov* . Apply site at *http://www.Grants.gov* . Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not e-mail an electronic copy of a grant application to us. You may access the electronic grant application for Grants to Reduce Alcohol Abuse at *http://www.Grants.gov* . You must search for the downloadable application package for this competition by the CFDA number. Do not include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for 84.184, not 84.184A). Please note the following: • Your participation in *Grants.gov* is voluntary. • When you enter the *Grants.gov* site, you will find information about submitting an application electronically through the site, as well as the hours of operation. • Applications received by *Grants.gov* are date and time stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted and must be date and time stamped by the *Grants.gov* system no later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your application if it is date and time stamped by the *Grants.gov* system later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. When we retrieve your application from *Grants.gov* , we will notify you if we are rejecting your application because it was date and time stamped by the *Grants.gov* system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. • The amount of time it can take to upload an application will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline date to begin the submission process through *Grants.gov* . • You should review and follow the Education Submission Procedures for submitting an application through *Grants.gov* that are included in the application package for this program to ensure that you submit your application in a timely manner to the *Grants.gov* system. You can also find the Education Submission Procedures pertaining to *Grants.gov* at *http://e-Grants.ed.gov/help/GrantsgovSubmissionProcedures.pdf* . • To submit your application via *Grants.gov* , you must complete all steps in the *Grants.gov* registration process (see *http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp* ). These steps include
(1)registering your organization, a multi-part process that includes registration with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR);
(2)registering yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR); and
(3)getting authorized as an AOR by your organization. Details on these steps are outlined in the *Grants.gov* 3-Step Registration Guide (see *http://www.grants.gov/section910/Grants.gov* RegistrationBrochure.pdf). You also must provide on your application the same D-U-N-S Number used with this registration. Please note that the registration process may take five or more business days to complete, and you must have completed all registration steps to allow you to submit successfully an application via *Grants.gov* . In addition you will need to update your CCR registration on an annual basis. This may take three or more business days to complete. • You will not receive additional point value because you submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you if you submit your application in paper format. • If you submit your application electronically, you must submit all documents electronically, including all information you typically provide on the following forms: Application for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information—Non-Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and certifications. Please note that two of these forms—the SF 424 and the Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424—have replaced the ED 424 (Application for Federal Education Assistance). • If you submit your application electronically, you must attach any narrative sections of your application as files in a .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable Document) format. If you upload a file type other than the three file types specified in this paragraph or submit a password-protected file, we will not review that material. • Your electronic application must comply with any page-limit requirements described in this notice. • After you electronically submit your application, you will receive from *Grants.gov* an automatic notification of receipt that contains a *Grants.gov* tracking number. (This notification indicates receipt by *Grants.gov* only, not receipt by the Department.) The Department then will retrieve your application from *Grants.gov* and send a second notification to you by e-mail. This second notification indicates that the Department has received your application and has assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified identifying number unique to your application). • We may request that you provide us original signatures on forms at a later date. *Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues with the Grants.gov System:* If you are experiencing problems submitting your application through Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov Support Desk, toll free, at 1-800-518-4726. You must obtain a Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number and must keep a record of it. If you are prevented from electronically submitting your application on the application deadline date because of technical problems with the Grants.gov system, we will grant you an extension until 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, the following business day to enable you to transmit your application electronically or by hand delivery. You also may mail your application by following the mailing instructions described elsewhere in this notice. If you submit an application after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date, please contact the person listed under *For Further Information Contact* in section VII in this notice and provide an explanation of the technical problem you experienced with Grants.gov, along with the Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number. We will accept your application if we can confirm that a technical problem occurred with the Grants.gov system and that that problem affected your ability to submit your application by 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. The Department will contact you after a determination is made on whether your application will be accepted. Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system. b. *Submission of Paper Applications by Mail.* If you submit your application in paper format by mail (through the U.S. Postal Service or a commercial carrier), you must mail the original and two copies of your application, on or before the application deadline date, to the Department at the applicable following address: *By mail through the U.S. Postal Service:* U.S. Department of Education, Application Control Center, Attention: (CFDA Number 84.184A), 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20202-4260; or *By mail through a commercial carrier:* U.S. Department of Education, Application Control Center, Stop 4260, Attention: (CFDA Number 84.184A), 7100 Old Landover Road, Landover, MD 20785-1506.

(202)245-6288. V. Application Review Information 1. *Selection Criteria:* The selection criteria for this program are from 34 CFR 75.210 and are in the application package for this competition. 2. *Review and Selection Process:* An additional factor we consider in selecting an application for an award is rural and low-income status. Applications from rural and low-income applicants will be read and scored separately and up to 25 percent of the available funds will be reserved for awards to these LEAs. The following is a suggested definition of rural and low-income that has been used by this program in previous competition; however, LEAs that want to be considered as rural and low-income applicants may provide other supporting evidence of their status as rural and low income. A rural and low-income LEA is one
(a)that is designated with a locale code of 6, 7, or 8, as determined by the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES); and
(b)in which 20 percent or more of the children ages 5 through 17 years served by the LEA are from families with incomes below the poverty line. Note: Applicants wishing to be considered under this factor must be both rural and low-income. VI. Award Administration Information 1. *Award Notices:* If your application is successful, we notify your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notice (GAN). We may notify you informally, also. If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, we notify you. 2. *Administrative and National Policy Requirements:* We identify administrative and national policy requirements in the application package and reference these and other requirements in the *Applicable Regulations* section in this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the *Applicable Regulations* section in this notice and include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also incorporates your approved application as part of your binding commitments under the grant. 3. *Reporting:* At the end of your project period, you must submit a final performance report, including financial information, as directed by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance report that provides the most current performance and financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements on reporting, please go to *http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.* 4. *Performance Measures:* Under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), three measures have been developed for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Grants to Reduce Alcohol Abuse program. They are:
(1)The percentage of grantees whose target students show a measurable decrease in binge drinking;
(2)the percentage of grantees that show a measurable increase in the percentage of target students who believe that alcohol abuse is harmful to their health; and
(3)the percentage of grantees that show a measurable increase in the percentage of target students who disapprove of alcohol abuse. These three measures constitute the Department's indicators of success for this program. Consequently, applicants for a grant under this program are advised to give careful consideration to these three measures in conceptualizing the design, implementation, and evaluation of their proposed project. If funded, applicants will be asked to collect and report data in their annual performance reports about progress toward these goals. VII.

How Is the Rest of This Notice Organized? We list below the order of the major sections of this notice. II. What is the Subject and Purpose of this Notice? III. Why is this Update to SW-846 Being Announced in a Notice Instead of Being Promulgated as a Final Rule? IV. What Does Final Update IV Contain? II. What Is the Subject and Purpose of This Notice? We are announcing the availability of Final Update IV to “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,” EPA Publication SW-846. Final Update IV of SW-846 contains analytical methods that we have evaluated and determined to be appropriate and may be used for monitoring or complying with the RCRA hazardous waste regulations. The Agency revises the content of SW-846 over time as new information and data are developed. We continually review advances in analytical instrumentation and techniques and periodically incorporate such advances into SW-846 as method updates by adding new methods to the manual, and replacing existing methods with revised versions of the same method. These updates improve analytical method performance and cost effectiveness. To date, we have finalized Updates I, II, IIA, IIB, III, IIIA, and IIIB to the SW-846 manual, which can be found on the Internet at: *http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/test/sw846.htm* . On May 8, 1998, we published a notice of availability for Draft Update IVA in the **Federal Register** (see 63 FR 25430-25438, Docket No. F-98-4TMA-FFFF) and, on November 27, 2000, we published a notice of availability for Draft Update IVB in the **Federal Register** (see 65 FR 70678-70681, Docket No. F-2000-4BTA-FFFF). In today's notice, we are announcing the availability of Final Update IV, which combines Draft Updates IVA, IVB, and subsequent revisions made to these Updates based on public comments received. III. Why Is This Update to SW-846 Being Announced in a Notice Instead of Being Promulgated as a Final Rule? In the past, EPA proposed and finalized updates to SW-846 as part of a rulemaking. On June 14, 2005, however, EPA published a final rule, referred to as the Methods Innovation Rule (MIR), which removed from the RCRA hazardous waste regulations any requirement to use an analytical method found in SW-846, unless that method is the only one capable of measuring a method-defined parameter
(MDP)(70 FR 34538-34592). See the preamble of that rule regarding the Agency's basis for that rulemaking. In addition, the MIR allows the Agency to issue final updates to SW-846 as guidance, provided the analytical methods contained in the update are not required by the RCRA hazardous waste regulations. The Agency will continue to follow Agency guidelines to ensure that methods incorporated into SW-846 are scientifically sound, including the peer review of method documents, as appropriate. We will also continue to request public comment on methods we update through **Federal Register** notices prior to their incorporation into SW-846. As the analytical methods contained in Final Update IV are not required by the RCRA hazardous waste regulations, EPA is issuing this update as guidance. EPA solicited public comments on the analytical methods found in Final Update IV in two **Federal Register** notices (see notice of availability for Draft Update IVA of SW 846 (63 FR 25430) and Draft Update IVB of SW-846 (65 FR 70678)). The docket to Final Update IV (EPA-RCRA-2006-0833) contains a background document with our response to public comments. IV. What Does Final Update IV Contain? Final Update IV contains new and revised analytical methods, each dated “February 2007” in its footer. The new and revised analytical methods can be found at: *http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/test/main.htm* . Tables 2 through 4 list the documents found in Final Update IV. Table 5 lists those methods that have been deleted. Table 2 provides a listing of the twenty-four revised SW-846 analytical methods, seven revised chapters and the table of contents and title page. Chapter Eleven (“Ground Water Monitoring”) is included in this listing because, as described in the Draft Update IVA notice, EPA has removed the outdated text of Chapter Eleven of SW-846 and replaced the text with a note to refer the reader to the most current version of the ground-water monitoring guidance originally issued by EPA's Office of Solid Waste
(OSW)in 1992. Table 3 provides a listing of twenty-three new analytical methods found in Update IV. It should be noted that two of the analytical methods (Methods 4500 and 9058) on which the Agency solicited public comment in Draft Updates IVA and IVB are not included in Final Update IV. Specifically, Method 4500, “Mercury in Soil by Immunoassay,” a method in Draft Update IVA, is not included because the method kit is no longer available from its original source. Method 9058, “Determination of Perchlorate Using Ion Chromatography with Chemical Suppression Conductivity Detection,” a method in Draft Update IVB, is not included because EPA determined, based on public comment and other source information, that this version of the analytical method is subject to biased results due to matrix interferences. However, the Agency developed two new and improved analytical methods for perchlorate analyses, SW-846 Methods 6850 and 6860. These methods are not part of the Final Update IV package, but have been validated and are available for use at the EPA Methods Web site, under the heading “New Methods,” *http://www.epa.gov/SW-846* . Given the development and availability of Methods 6850 and 6860, EPA recommends that Method 9058 only be used for screening or long-term monitoring purposes. Confirmation of perchlorate detection is recommended when analyzing unfamiliar samples using an additional technique. EPA currently plans to include a final version of Method 9058 in the Fourth Edition of SW-846 after additional validation. The final version will also be posted on the EPA Methods Web site if the method is completed prior to official publication of the Fourth Edition. Table 4 identifies three air sampling methods for which we are providing references in SW-846 as part of Final Update IV. These one page references indicate how one may obtain a copy of each method. We are providing this information in SW-846, for the convenience of the reader. Finally, Table 5 identifies the forty-four analytical methods to be integrated or deleted from SW-846 as part of Final Update IV. All but one of these analytical methods is an individual flame or graphite furnace atomic absorption method. The exception is Method 3810, “Headspace,” an obsolete headspace screening method which was replaced by Method 5021, “Volatile Organic Compounds in Soils and Other Solid Matrices Using Equilibrium Headspace Analysis.” The Agency is deleting Method 3810 because Method 5021, added to SW-846 as part of Final Update III, can be used for screening applications (in addition to quantitative uses), and can be expected to perform better than Method 3810 as a screening method. The 43 individual atomic absorption methods are being deleted because their inclusion is redundant given that their procedures and target analytes are fully integrated into revised Method 7000B (see Table 2) or new Method 7010 (see Table 3), the general methods for the atomic absorption techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number: 3060-0809.* *Title:* Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities. *Number of Respondents and Responses:* 250 respondents; 350 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 17.93 hours average (range of 7.5 to 80 hours). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure. *Obligation To Respond:* Mandatory for system security filings and voluntary for section 107(c) and 109(b) petitions. *Total Annual Burden:* 6,275 hours. *Total Annual Costs:* Not applicable. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Neither CALEA system security filings nor section 107(c) and 109(b) petitions are made available to the public. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact. *Needs and Uses:* The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) requires the Commission to create rules that regulate the conduct and recordkeeping of lawful electronic surveillance. CALEA was enacted in October 1994 to respond to rapid advances in telecommunications technology and eliminate obstacles faced by law enforcement personnel in conducting electronic surveillance. Section 105 of CALEA requires telecommunications carriers to protect against the unlawful interception of communications passing through their systems. Law enforcement officials use the information maintained by telecommunications carriers to determine the accountability and accuracy of telecommunications carriers' compliance with lawful electronic surveillance orders. On May 12, 2006, the Commission released a Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order in ET Docket No. 04-195, *FCC 06-56,* which became effective August 4, 2006, except for sections 1.20004 and 1.20005 of the Commission's rules, which became effective on February 12, 2007 when OMB approved their information collection requirements. The Second Report and Order established new guidelines for filing section 107(c) petitions, section 109(b) petitions, and monitoring reports (FCC Form 445). The monitoring reports were required on only one occasion and no renewal of that requirement is necessary. CALEA section 107(c)(1) permits a petitioner to apply for an extension of time, up to two years from the date that the petition is filed, and to come into compliance with a particular CALEA section 103 capability requirement. CALEA section 109(b) permits a telecommunication carrier covered by CALEA to file a petition with the FCC and an application with the Department of Justice
(DOJ)to request that DOJ pay the costs of the carrier's CALEA compliance (cost-shifting relief) with respect to any equipment, facility or service installed or deployed after January 1, 1995. The Second Report and Order required several different collections of information:
(a)Within 90 days of the effective date of the Second Report and Order, facilities based broadband Internet access and interconnected Voice over Interconnected Protocol
(VOIP)providers newly identified in the First Report and Order in this proceeding were required to file system security statements under the Commission's rules (system security statements are currently approved under the existing OMB 3060-0809 information collection).
(b)All telecommunications carriers, including broadband Internet access and interconnected VoIP providers, must file updates to their systems security statements on file with the Commission as their information changes.
(c)Petitions filed under section 107(c), request for additional time to comply with CALEA; these provisions apply to all carriers subject to CALEA and are voluntary filings.
(d)Section 109(b), request for reimbursement of CALEA; these provisions apply to all carriers subject to CALEA and are necessary for carriers seeking relief under this section of the CALEA statute.

ACTION: Notice; correction. SUMMARY: The FDIC published a document in the **Federal Register** of December 27, 2007, concerning a notice of information collection to be submitted to OMB for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The document contained an outdated estimate of time per response for the proposed survey with the result that the estimated total annual burden for the survey and the total burden for the overall collection were incorrect. In addition, with regard to the case studies, the number of respondents and the estimated time per response for the in-depth interview were outdated and, as a result, the estimated total burden for the case studies aspect of the collection was overstated. For purposes of clarity, information concerning the estimated burden for the collection is re-printed in its entirety. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Valerie Best at *vbest@fdic.gov* or 202-898-3812. Correction In the **Federal Register** of December 27, 2007, in FR Doc. E7-24963, volume 72, page 73347, in the first column, correct lines 15 to 43 to read as follows: *Title:* National Survey on Banks' Efforts to Serve the Unbanked and Underbanked. *OMB Number:* 3064-NEW. 1. *Survey* *Frequency of Response:* Once. *Affected Public:* FDIC-insured depository institutions. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 865. *Estimated Time per Response:* 290 minutes per respondent. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 290 minutes × 865 respondents = 4,181 hours. 2. *Case Studies* *Frequency of Response:* Exploratory interview—once; in-depth interview—once. *Affected Public:* 25 FDIC-insured depository institutions. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 25 FDIC-insured depository institutions. *Estimated Time per Response:* Exploratory interview—1 hour; in-depth interview—3 hours. *Estimated Total Burden:* 25 hours + 75 hours = 100 hours. *Total burden for this collection:* 4,181 hours + 100 hours = 4,281 hours.
