Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 202 / Thursday, October 20, 2005 / Notices
(NEPA), for applicant projects or
proposals which are seeking NOAA
federal funding opportunities. Detailed
information on NOAA compliance with
NEPA can be found at the following
NOAA NEPA Web site: https://
www.nepa.noaa.gov/, including our
NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 for
NEPA, https://www.nepa.noaa.gov/
NAO216_6_TOC.pdf, and the Council
on Environmental Quality
implementation regulations, https://
ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ceq/
toc_ceq.htm Consequently, as part of an
applicant’s package, and under their
description of their program activities,
applicants are required to provide
detailed information on the activities to
be conducted, locations, sites, species
and habitat to be affected, possible
construction activities, and any
environmental concerns that may exist
(e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous
or toxic chemicals, introduction of nonindigenous species, impacts to
endangered and threatened species,
aquaculture projects, and impacts to
coral reef systems).
In addition to providing specific
information that will serve as the basis
for any required impact analyses,
applicants may also be requested to
assist NOAA in drafting of an
environmental assessment, if NOAA
determines an assessment is required.
Applicants will also be required to
cooperate with NOAA in identifying
feasible measures to reduce or avoid any
identified adverse environmental
impacts of their proposal. The failure to
do so shall be grounds for not selecting
an application. In some cases if
additional information is required after
an application is selected, funds can be
withheld by the Grants Officer under a
special award condition requiring the
recipient to submit additional
environmental compliance information
sufficient to enable NOAA to make an
assessment on any impacts that a project
may have on the environment.
The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for
Grants and Cooperative Agreements
contained in the Federal Register notice
of December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78389), are

COMMITTEE FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE
AGREEMENTS
Extension of Period of Determination
on Request for Textile and Apparel
Safeguard Action on Imports From
China
October 17, 2005.
The Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(the Committee).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Committee is extending
through November 30, the period for
making a determination on whether to
request consultations with China
regarding imports of cotton and manmade fiber curtains and drapery
(Category 369 Part/666 Part).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture
Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order
11651, as amended.
Background
On June 22, 2005, the Committee
received a request from the American
Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition,
the National Council of Textile
Organizations, the National Textile
Association, and UNITE HERE
requesting that the Committee limit
imports from China of cotton and manmade fiber curtains and drapery
(Category 369 Part/666 Part) due to
market disruption.
The Committee determined that this
request provided the information
necessary for the Committee to consider
the request and solicited public
comments for a period of 30 days. See
Solicitation of Public Comment on
Request for Textile and Apparel
Safeguard Action on Imports from
China, 70 FR 41376 (July 19, 2005).
The Committee’s Procedures, 68 FR
27787 (May 21, 2003) state that the
Committee will make a determination
within 60 calendar days of the close of
the public comment period as to
whether the United States will request
consultations with China. If the
Committee is unable to make a
determination within 60 calendar days,
it will cause to be published a notice in
the Federal Register, including the date
by which it will make a determination.
The 60 day determination period for
this case expired on October 17, 2005.
The Committee is unable to make a
determination within the determination
period because it is continuing to
evaluate production data for cotton and
man-made fiber curtains and drapery.
Therefore, the Committee is extending
the determination period to November
30, 2005.
James C. Leonard III,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation
of Textile Agreements.

public hearing and meeting, the Board
will consider the Department of

into the design and construction of new

content and implementation of
standards relating to the design and
construction of such facilities. The
Board has recently observed that
improvement in the incorporation of
safety in the design of certain new

possible. In this December 7th hearing
and meeting, the Board will explore
DOE’s safety policies, expectations, and
processes for integrating safety into
design and construction of new and
modification of existing facilities. The
Board will collect information needed to
understand and address any health or
safety concerns that may require Board
action with respect to safety in design.
This will include, but is not limited to,
presentations from both DOE and
National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) senior
management officials concerning
integration of safety into the design
construct. The public hearing portion of
this proceeding is authorized by 42
