Officer, invites comments on the
proposed information collection
requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before February
7, 2006.
DATES:
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.

Abstract: The 2004/06 Beginning
Postsecondary Students Longitudinal
Study (BPS:04/06) is being conducted to
continue to continue the series of
longitudinal data collection efforts
started in 1990 with the National
Postsecondary Students Aid Study to
enhance knowledge concerning progress
and persistence in postsecondary
education for new entrants. The study
will address issues such as progress,
persistence, and completion of
postsecondary education programs,
entry into the workforce, the
relationship between experiences
during postsecondary education and
various societal and personal outcomes,
and returns to the individual and to
society on the investment in
postsecondary education.

Proposed Subsequent Arrangement

ACTION: Notice; subsequent arrangement.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice has been issued
under the authority of section 131 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 2160). The Department is
providing notice of a proposed
subsequent arrangement under the
Agreement for Cooperation in the
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy
between the United States and the
European Atomic Energy Community
(EURATOM) and the Agreement for
Cooperation Between the Government of
the United States of America and the
Government of the Kingdom of Morocco
Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear
Energy.
This subsequent arrangement
concerns the retransfer of 106 TRIGA
fuel elements containing 20,433.47 g of
U.S.-origin natural uranium, 4,058.73 g
of U–235, from CERCA, F–92084 Paris
La Defense, France to the la Maamora
Nuclear Research Center of the Center of
National Energy, Sciences, and Nuclear
Techniques (CNESTEN), Morocco. The
material, which is now located at
CERCA facilities in Romans, France,
will be transferred to Morocco for use in
the CNESTEN TRIGA Research Reactor
in la Maamora Research Center near
Rabat, Morocco. The transferred fuel
will be used in the first core of the
TRIGA Mark II Research Reactor at La
Maamora. CERCA originally obtained
the material from General Atomics
under NRC Export License Number
XSNM02644, Amendment No. 2.
In accordance with Section 131 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
we have determined that this
subsequent arrangement is not inimical
to the common defense and security.
This subsequent arrangement will
take effect no sooner than fifteen days
after the date of publication of this
notice.
