SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Species Covered in This Notice The following listed species (evolutionarily significant units) are covered in this notice: 1. Snake River (SR) fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha); 2. SR spring/summer (spr/sum) chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha); 3. Upper Columbia River (UCR) spring chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha); 4. UCR steelhead (O. mykiss); and 5. Middle Columbia River (MCR) steelhead (O. mykiss). Authority Scientific research permits are issued in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and regulations governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR 222-226). NMFS issues permits based on findings that such permits: (1) are applied for in good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, would not operate to the disadvantage of the listed species that are the subject of the permit; and (3) are consistent with the purposes and policy of section 2 of the ESA. The authority to take listed species is subject to conditions set forth in the permits. Anyone requesting a hearing on an application listed in this notice should set out the specific reasons why a hearing on that application would be appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such hearings are held at the discretion of the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS. VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:03 Aug 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 Applications Received Permit 1533 The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is requesting a five-year permit to take adult and juvenile SR spr/sum and fall chinook salmon during the course of two studies in the lower Snake River. The first study would determine steelhead, bull trout, and spring chinook stock status (i.e., distribution, relative abundance, and genetic characterization) in mainstem areas and tributaries of the Grande Ronde and Snake Rivers in Asotin, Garfield, Whitman, and Columbia Counties in Washington State. The second study would take place in Asotin Creek, Washington, and would focus on monitoring the population status of summer steelhead and spring and fall chinook salmon in Asotin Creek above George Creek. It would also focus on the productivity of the natural populations in the absence of direct hatchery influences (i.e., out-plants or supplementation). The studies would benefit the fish by collecting baseline data that would be used to improve planning and future management decisions. The WDFW intends to capture the fish using smolt traps, hook-and-line fishing equipment, backpack electrofishers and, possibly, dip nets. The fish would be variously captured, handled, measured, tissue-sampled, and released. Some of the captured juveniles would receive passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags, and a few captured adults would receive a combination of floy- and PIT-tags. In some cases, tissue samples would be taken from already dead fish. Moreover, rescue and salvage operations would be conducted whenever needed. The WDFW does not intend to kill any of the fish being captured, but some may die as an unintended result of the research. Permit 1548 The Yakima Training Center (YTC) is seeking a five-year permit to take juvenile UCR spring chinook salmon, juvenile UCR steelhead, and juvenile MCR steelhead during the course of several surveys on YTC land in southwestern Washington State. The research is designed to determine fish abundance and distribution on the YTC lands as well as describe habitat conditions throughout the 500-square mile reservation. The fish would benefit from the research because it would allow YTC staff to take them fully into account and thereby protect them during all future land management planning. It would also give regional fish managers important data on fish PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49263 presence that have not previously been available. The YTC researchers intend to capture the fish using backpack electrofishing gear, seines, and minnow traps. Once captured, the fish would be measured, allowed to recover, and released. Some of the steelhead may have scale samples taken. The YTC does not intend to kill any of the fish being taken, but some may die as an unintended result of the activities. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will evaluate the application, associated documents, and comments submitted to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA and Federal regulations. The final permit decisions will not be made until after the end of the 30-day comment period. NMFS will publish notice of its final action in the Federal Register. Dated: August 18, 2005. P. Michael Payne, Acting Chief, Endangered Species Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.

Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act of 1994, 20 U.S.C. 8034 (2000) and the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act of 2001, 20 U.S.C. 7253 (2000 Supplement 1). The notice inviting applications, consistent with 34 CFR 75.250, established a project period of five years. The project period for the Center, as established in its initial grant award, is from October 1, 2000 until September 30, 2005. Under section 191 of the Education Sciences Reform Act, 20 U.S.C. 9581, IES is not subject to section 437(d) of the General Education Provisions Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232(d), and, for that reason, can waive 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. Accordingly, IES waives the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2), which prohibit project periods exceeding five years and extensions of project periods that involve the obligation of additional Federal funds. The waiver of these provisions will allow IES to fund the current Center for an additional budget period of 12 months, from October 1, 2005 until September 30, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 13, 2000, we published a notice in 
the Federal Register (65 FR 37229) inviting applications for one award 
under the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Education Program--
National Research and Development Center. The purpose of this program 
is to support a national research and development center to conduct 
research on methods and techniques for identifying and teaching gifted 
and talented students and for using gifted and talented programs and 
methods to serve all students. The authorizing statute for the Jacob K. 
Javits Gifted and Talented Education Program does not specify a project 
period for this program. See the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented 
Students Education Act of 1994, 20 U.S.C. 8034 (2000) and the Jacob K. 
Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act of 2001, 20 U.S.C. 
7253 (2000 Supplement 1).
    The notice inviting applications, consistent with 34 CFR 75.250, 
established a project period of five years. The project period for the 
Center, as established in its initial grant award, is from October 1, 
2000 until September 30, 2005.
    Under section 191 of the Education Sciences Reform Act, 20 U.S.C. 
9581, IES is not subject to section 437(d) of the General Education 
Provisions Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232(d), and, for that reason, can waive 34 
CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) without providing notice and an opportunity 
for public comment. Accordingly, IES waives the requirements in 34 CFR 
75.250 and 75.261(c)(2), which prohibit project periods exceeding five 
years and extensions of project periods that involve the obligation of 
additional Federal funds. The waiver of these provisions will allow IES 
to fund the current Center for an additional budget period of 12 
months, from October 1, 2005 until September 30, 2006. This action is 
being taken in order to avoid any lapse in research and related 
activities carried out by the Center while IES is conducting a 
competition for a new award under this program during fiscal year 2006.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    The Secretary certifies that the final extension of the project 
period and waiver would not have a significant economic impact on a
