Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 121 / Friday, June 24, 2005 / Notices A copy of the proposed information collection request (ICR) can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the Addresses section of this notice. DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the Addresses section of this notice on or before August 23, 2005. ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division of Management Systems, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212, telephone number 202–691–7628. (This is not a toll free number.) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, telephone number 202–691–7628. (See Addresses section.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement is conducted biennially and was last collected in January 2004. This supplement will gather information on workers who have lost or left their jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished. Data will be collected on the extent to which displaced workers received advance notice of job cutbacks or the closing of their plant or business. For those workers who have been reemployed, the supplement will gather data on the types of jobs they found and will compare current earnings with those from the lost job. The incidence and nature of occupational changes in the preceding year will be queried. The survey also probes for the length of time workers (including those who have not been displaced) have been with their current employer. Additional data to be collected include information on the receipt of unemployment compensation, the loss of health insurance coverage, and the length of time spent without a job. Because this supplement is part of the CPS, the same detailed demographic information collected in the CPS will be available on respondents to the supplement. Comparisons will be possible across characteristics such as sex, race, age, and educational attainment of the respondent. The information collected by this survey will be used to determine the size and nature of the population affected by job displacements and the needs and scope of programs serving VerDate jul<14>2003 19:06 Jun 23, 2005 Jkt 205001 adult displaced workers. It also will be used to assess employment stability by determining the length of time workers have been with their current employer and estimating the incidence of occupational change over the course of a year. Combining the questions on displacement, job tenure, and occupational mobility will enable analysts to obtain a more complete picture of employment stability. 36661 included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they also will become a matter of public record. Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of June, 2005. Cathy Kazanowski, Chief, Division of Management Systems, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

DATES: Monday June 27, 2005, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. eastern daylight time. ADDRESSES: Residence Inn Capitol, 333 E Street SW., Washington DC 20024. The meeting will be held in the Capitol Room. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Vincent D. Watkins at (281) 792–7523. Rationale for Exception to Less Than 15 Day Notice: This event is directly related to scheduling constraints imposed by the nation’s Space Shuttle Program return to flight launch activities. Critical data necessary for the Task Group to complete its assessment was made available based on necessary milestones required for the agency to ensure a safe return to flight. The proximity of those milestones to the new STS–114 launch date prevents the Task Group from scheduling its last public meeting within the 15 day notice requirement. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The meeting will be open to the public up to the seating capacity of the meeting room. Attendees will be requested to sign a register. Audio of the meeting will be distributed via the Internet at https://returntoflight.org.

Notice of permit applications received under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978, Public Law 95–541. AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). ACTION: Notice of meeting. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is required to publish notice of permit applications received to conduct activities regulated under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978. NSF has published regulations under the Antaric Conservation Act at Title 45 Part 670 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This is the required notice of permit applications received. DATES: Interested parties are invited to submit written data, comments, or views with respect to this permit application by July 25, 2005. This application may be inspected by interested parties at the Permit Office, address below. ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Permit Office, Room 755, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nadene G. Kennedy at the above address or (703) 292–7405. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation, as directed by the Antaric Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as amended by the Antaric 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 a 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. 2006–015 1. Applicant: Shane B. Kanatous, Southwestern Medical Center, PO 00000 Frm 00106 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 University of Texas, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390–8573. Activity for Which Permit is Requested Take and Import into the United States. The applicant proposes to capture up to 10 each of Weddell seal newborn pups, sub adults, and adults each season to be weighed and to collect muscle samples. The samples will be returned to the U.S. for further scientific study. The applicant plans to build on his previous work that characterized the enzymatic, and ultra-structural adaptations for diving that occur in the skeletal muscles of newly weaned, juvenile and adult Weddell seals. Study results will increase understanding of both the ontogeny and molecular mechanisms by which young seals acquire the physiological capabilities to make deep (up to 700 meters) and long aerobic dives (@ min.). The study will also advance knowledge of the molecular regulation for the adaptations that enable active skeletal muscle to function under hypoxic conditions, which has broader application for human medicine especially in regards to cardiac and pulmonary disease. Location: McMurdo Sound sea ice. Dates: October 1, 2005 to February 28, 2008. Permit Application No. 2006–016 2. Applicant: Wayne Z. Trivelpiece, Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, 8604 La Jolla Shores Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037. Activity for Which Permit Is Requested Take, Enter an Antarctic Specially Protected Area, and Import into the United States. THe applicant is continuing a study of the behavioral and population biology of the Adelie, gentoo, and chinstrap penguins and the interactions of these species and their principal avian predators: skuas, gulls, sheathbills, and giant petrels. Up to 500 each of Adelie and gentoo penguin chicks and adults will be banded. Up to 50 adult penguins per species will have radio-transmitters (Txs), satellite tags (PTTs), and time-depth recorders (TDRs) attached to continue the study of the penguins’ foraging habits. Up to 40 adult penguins per species will have their stomachs pumped, and data will be collected on egg sizes and adult weights for a maximum of 100 nest per species. In addition, blood, tissue and uropigial gland oil will be collected for further study. Location: Western Shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island (ASPA #128) and Lion’s Rump, King George Island (ASPA #151). E:\FR\FM\24JNN1.SGM 24JNN1
