Chief Information Officer, publishes that

addressing the following issues: (1) Is
this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this

through the use of information
technology.

the Department of Energy and Located

potential national security mission
requirements for a health and safety
buffer area relating to on-going
operations. Specifically, DOE/NNSA has
reassessed its need for a certain portion
of a tract to serve as a health and safety
buffer area for current and postoperations cleanup of its tritium-related
activities at Los Alamos National
Laboratory’s (LANL’s) Technical Area
21 (TA–21). DOE/NNSA no longer
needs to retain a 32.3-acre portion of the
Airport Tract located along the south
side of State Road 502 for this purpose.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information concerning the
conveyance or transfer of land tracts or
this amended ROD, contact: Elizabeth

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Legal Requirements for Action
LANL is one of several national
security laboratories that support DOE’s
and NNSA’s responsibilities for national
security, energy resources,
environmental quality, and science.
Located in north-central New Mexico,
LANL is about 60 miles (97 kilometers)
north-northeast of Albuquerque, and
about 25 miles (40 kilometers)
northwest of Santa Fe. The small
communities of Los Alamos townsite,
White Rock, Pajarito Acres, the Royal
Crest Mobile Home Park, and San
Ildefonso Pueblo are located in the
immediate vicinity of LANL. LANL
occupies an area of approximately
25,600 acres (10,360 hectares), or
approximately 40 square miles (104
square kilometers). DOE also has
administrative control over other
properties and land within Los Alamos

County that total about 915 acres (371
hectares).
On November 26, 1997, Congress
passed Public Law 105–119, the
Departments of Commerce, Justice, and
State, the Judiciary, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, Fiscal
Year 1998 (‘‘the Act’’). Section 632 of
the Act (42 U.S.C. 2391) directs the
Secretary of Energy (the Secretary) to
convey to the Incorporated County of
Los Alamos, New Mexico, or to the
designee of the County, and transfer to
the Department of the Interior, in trust
for the San Ildefonso Pueblo, parcels of
land under the jurisdictional
administrative control of the Secretary
at or in the vicinity of LANL. Such
parcels, or tracts, of land must meet
suitability criteria established by the
Act. The purpose of the conveyances
and transfers is to fulfill the obligations
of the United States with respect to Los
Alamos, New Mexico, under sections 91
and 94 of the Atomic Energy
Community Act of 1955 (AECA) (42
U.S.C. 2391, 2394). Upon the
completion of the conveyance or
transfer, the Secretary of Energy shall
make no further financial assistance
payments with respect to LANL under
the AECA.
The Act sets forth the criteria,
processes, and dates by which the tracts
will be selected, titles to the tracts
reviewed, environmental issues
evaluated, and decisions made as to the
allocation of the tracts between the two
recipients. DOE’s responsibilities under
the Act include identifying potentially
suitable tracts of land according to
criteria set forth in the law (Land
Transfer Report, April 1998);
conducting a title search on each tract
of land (Title Report, September 1998);
identifying any environmental
restoration and remediation that would
be needed for each tract of land
(Environmental Restoration Report,
August 1999); conducting National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) review of the proposed
conveyance or transfer of the land tracts
(the Conveyance and Transfer EIS,
October 1999, distributed in January
2000); reporting to Congress on the
results of the Environmental Restoration
Report review and the final Conveyance
and Transfer EIS (Combined Data
Report, January 2000); and preparing a
plan for conveying or transferring land
according to the allocation agreement of
parcels for Congress (Conveyance and
Transfer Plan, April 2000). The Act
further states that the Secretary must, to
the maximum extent practicable,
conduct any needed environmental
restoration or remediation activities
within 10 years of enactment (by

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The Leader, Information Management Case Services Team,
Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, invites comments on the proposed information
collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
October 17, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Management Case
Services Team, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of
the Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice containing
proposed information collection requests prior to submission of these
requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped by
office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. new,
revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary
of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and proposed use
of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and
(6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment.
The Department of Education is especially interested in public
comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on
the respondents, including through the use of information technology.
Dated: August 11, 2005.
