Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 2606-2607 [05-787]

Download as PDF 2606 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2005 / Notices Impact Statement (EIS), which is available for public review. The Draft Plan/EIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts that may result from various management options for an 8.5-mile segment of a Forest Service road that has been closed for safety reasons since 1988. The objective of the management plan is to best accommodate public use and access to National Forest lands and nearby private in-holdings while maintaining public safety and the historic character of the road. The analysis is intended to accomplish the following: Inform the public of the proposed action and alternatives; address public comment received during the scoping period; disclose the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed actions and each of the alternatives; and indicate any irreversible commitment of resources that would result from implementation of the proposed action. The Forest Service’s preferred alternative (Alternative E) is to restore and reopen a collapsed railroad tunnel and reopen the closed section of Gold Camp Road to one-way traffic. There would continue to be seasonal closure of the road from November 1 to April 1. The Forest Service invites the public to comment on the Draft Plan/EIS. All comments received from individuals become part of the official public record. Requests for such comments will be handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and the Council on Environmental Quality’s National Environmental Policy Act regulations (40 CFR 1506.6(f)). Our practice is to make comments available for public review during regular business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from the record, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. If a respondent wishes us to withhold his/her name and/or address, this must be stated prominently at the beginning of the comment. Comment Period: Comments may be submitted in writing, orally, or through electronic means before March 15, 2005. Electronic comments may be submitted to https://www.fs.fed.us/r2/psicc/pp and follow the Gold Camp Road link. Acceptable formats for attachments are MS Word, text, PDF, or RTF.

Estimated Number of Applicants: 145. Est. Avg. Hours Per Application: 20– 120 hours (depending on the type of application). Needs and Uses: The Foreign Trade Zones Application is the vehicle by which individual firms or organizations apply for foreign-trade zone (FTZ) status, for subzone status, or for expansion of an existing zone. The FTZ Act and Regulations require that an application with a description of the proposed project be made to the FTZ Board (19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15 CFR 400.24–26) before a license can be issued or a zone can be expanded. The Act and Regulations require that applications contain detailed information on facilities, financing, operational plans, proposed manufacturing operations, need, and economic impact. Manufacturing activity in zones, which is primarily conducted in subzones, can involve issues related to domestic industry and trade policy impact. Such applications must include specific information on the Customs-tariff related savings that result from zone procedures and the economic consequences of permitting such savings. The FTZ Board needs complete and accurate information on the proposed operation and its economic effects because the Act and Regulations authorize the Board to restrict or prohibit operations that are detrimental to the public interest.

Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), DOC. Title: Expenditures Incurred by Recipients of Biomedical Research Awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Type of Request: New information collection. Burden: 1,176 hours. Number of Respondents: 105. Average Hours Per Response: 11.2 hours. Needs and Uses: The survey to obtain the distribution of expenditures incurred by recipients of biomedical research awards from the National Institutes of Health Research (NIH) will provide information on how the NIH award amounts are expended across several major categories. This information, along with wage and price data from other published sources, will be used to generate the Biomedical Research and Developmental Price Index (BRDPI). The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce develops this index for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under reimbursable contract. The BRDPI is an index of prices paid for the labor, supplies, equipment, and other inputs required to perform the biomedical research the NIH supports in its intramural laboratories and through its awards to extramural organizations. The BRDPI is a vital tool for planning the NIH research budget and analyzing future NIH programs. A survey of award recipient entities is currently the only means for updating the expenditure categories that are used to prepare the BRDPI. The information provided by the respondents will be held confidential and be used for exclusively statistical purposes. This pledge of confidentiality is made under the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107–347. PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2607 Title V is the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA). Responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents of BEA without your consent. By law, each employee as well as each agent is subject to a jail term of up to 5 years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she makes public ANY identifiable information that you report about your business or institution. A survey questionnaire with a cover letter that includes a brief description of, and rationale for, the survey will be sent to potential respondents by the first week of June of each year. A report of the respondent’s expenditures of the NIH award amounts, following the proposed format for expenditure categories attached to the survey’s cover letter, will be requested to be returned no later than 60 days after mailing. Survey respondents will be selected on the basis of award levels, which determine the weight of the respondent in the biomedical research and development price index. Potential respondents will include (1) the top 100 organizations in total awards, which account for about 74 percent of total awards; (2) the top 40 organizations that are not primarily in the ‘‘Research and Development (R & D) contracts’’ category, and which account for about 4 percent of total awards; and, (3) the top 10 organizations that are primarily in the ‘‘R&D contracts’’ category, and which account for less than one percent of total awards. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit institutions, and not-for-profit institutions. Frequency: Annual. Respondent’s Obligations: Voluntary. Legal Authority: 45 CFR Subpart C, Post-Award Requirements, §§ 74.21 and 74.53; 42 U.S.C. 282; Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535 and 1536); 15 U.S.C. 1525; and 15 U.S.C. 1527a.
