Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 83 / Monday, May 2, 2005 / Notices
financial reporting collection format for
the WIA National Farmworker Jobs
Program as approved in Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Notice
of Action Number 1205–0428 (ETA
Form Number 9092). The basic financial
reporting requirements for this program
are set forth in Public Law 105–220,
dated August 7, 1998, and 20 CFR 652,
et al., Workforce Investment Act Final
Rules, dated August 11, 2000. The
proposed revised format has been
designed to ensure compliance with the
Federal Financial Assistance
Management Improvement Act of 1999
(Public Law 106–107), as well as Public
Law 105–220, dated August 7, 1998,
Title I, Subtitle D, Section 166 and
Subtitle E, Section 184. Pursuant to
Public Law 106–107, Federal awarding
agencies have jointly developed a
standard Federal Financial Report (FFR)
which is currently pending OMB final
clearance. The preamble language states
that agencies seeking renewal of existing
agency/program specific forms, prior to
January 31, 2005, may only obtain
approval from OMB through January 31,
2005; and agencies wishing to use or
continue using agency/program-specific
forms, must obtain approval from OMB.
ETA Form 9092, which expired October
31, 2004, has been granted an extension
for use through May 31, 2005, per OMB
Notice of Action, dated February 28,
2005. The Department has been
extremely proactive in preparing to
implement the government-wide
streamlining efforts mandated by Public
Law 106–107. This proposed collection
request is pursuant to those efforts. It
should also be noted that the National
Farmworker Jobs Program requires the
following three financial break-outs
which are not on the standard FFR:
Total Administrative Outlays, Related
Assistance Outlays, and Other Program
Services Outlays. This further
necessitates approval of a modified FFR
for the National Farmworker Jobs
Program.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Department is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
revision of a currently approved
collection of the WIA financial reporting
requirements for the National
Farmworker Jobs Program to:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
A copy of the proposed information
clearance request (ICR) can be obtained
directly through the Web site https://
www.doleta.gov/Performance/guidance/
OMBControlNumber.cfm or by
contacting the office listed above in the
addressee section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Science Foundation, as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the
establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to
designate Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas.
The applications received are as
follows:
Permit Application No. 2006–009.
1. Applicant: Samuel S. Bowser,
Wadsworth Center, New York State,
Department of health, P.O. Box 509,

Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Introduce non-indigenous
species into Antarctica. The applicant
plans to use brine shrimp hatchings
(Artemia sp.) as food for foraminiferan
protests. Specimens of foraminifera will
be incubated with Artemia for 24–48
hours in isolated culture chambers, and
the number of prey captured by the
foraminifera will be assessed by direct
observation using a stereomicroscope.
The purpose of the study is to determine
the phylogenetic extent of metazoan
carnivory by basal foraminiferan
protests. The samples will be
chemically sterilized before disposal
with hazmat.
Location: Crary Science and
Engineering Center, McMurdo Station,
and Explorers Cove field camp, New
Harbor.
Dates: October 1, 2005 to December
31, 2006.

Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially
Protected Area. The applicant plans to
enter Cape Crozier (ASPA #124), Cape
Royds (ASPA #121), Beaufort Island
(ASPA #105), and Cape Bird to conduct
studies of Adelie penguins. The
applicant plans to capture up to 2,800
Adelie chicks, fledglings, and adults for
weighing, measuring, tagging with RFID

management practices are being
followed consistent with the Master
Permit and that any existing mitigating
measures listed in the Environmental
Impact Assessment documents are
implemented in the field.
Location: Cape Royds (ASPA #121).
Dates: October 1, 2005 to September
