Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 48 / Monday, March 14, 2005 / Proposed Rules
Cluster XIII. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of this Federal
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes
by an immediate final rule. EPA did not
make a proposal prior to the immediate
final rule because we believe this action
is not controversial and do not expect
comments that oppose it. We have
explained the reasons for this
authorization in the preamble to the
immediate final rule. Unless we get
written comments which oppose this
authorization during the comment
period, the immediate final rule will
become effective on the date it
establishes, and we will not take further
action on this proposal. If we get
comments that oppose this action, we
will withdraw the immediate final rule
and it will not take effect. We will then
respond to public comments in a later
final rule based on this proposal. You
may not have another opportunity for
comment. If you want to comment on
this action, you must do so at this time.
DATES: Send your written comments by
April 13, 2005.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
(a) A Scholar selected after January
2005 must be employed in public
service for three of the seven years
following completion of his or her
Foundation funded graduate education.
(b) Following completion of
Foundation funded graduate education,
Scholars must submit a report to the
Foundation by July 15 of each year. This
report will include the Scholar’s current
contact information as well as a brief
description of his or her employment
during the past twelve months. This
reporting requirement ends when the
Foundation determines that a Scholar
has reported three years of public
service employment and the Foundation
notifies him or her that he or she no
longer is required to submit reports.
Scholars who fail for two consecutive
years to submit the required report to
the Foundation will be considered to
have failed to complete the three year
public service requirement of paragraph
(a) of this section.
(c) A Scholar who fails to be
employed in public service for three out
of the first seven years following
completion of his or her Foundation
funded graduate education must repay
to the Foundation an amount equal to:
(1) All of the Scholarship stipends
received,
(2) Interest at the rate of 6% per
annum from the date of receipt of each
payment until repayment is made to the
Foundation, and
(3) Reasonable collection fees.
(d)(1) The repayment obligation of
paragraph (c) of this section accrues on
the first July 15 on which it becomes
impossible for a Scholar to fulfill the
three year public service requirement of
paragraph (a) of this section. For
example, July 15 of the sixth year
following completion of Foundation
funded graduate education for a Scholar
who has been employed in the public
service for only one of those six years.
(2) The Foundation will send to the
Scholar’s last known address a notice
