turtles, provide information on
population dynamics to improve stock
assessments, and to better understand
the distribution of turtles in time and
space. Turtles that are incidentally
captured during resource assessment
cruises would be used by the SEFSC in
their assessments of distribution and
abundance of turtles, as well as the
cumulative impact of the relevant
fishery on the stocks. The incidental
capture would accrue to and be
authorized by the fisheries being
researched. The SEFSC would annually
handle, identify, examine, measure,
weigh, photograph, flipper tag, passive
integrated transponder (PIT) tag, skin
biopsy, and release or salvage the
carcass, tissue, and parts of up to 6
green, 17 loggerhead, 8 Kemp’s ridley, 6
hawksbill, 6 olive ridley, 6 unidentified
hardshell, and 17 leatherback sea
turtles. Research would occur in the
Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico,
Caribbean Sea, and their tributaries. The
permit would be issued for five years.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
Secretariat has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a
request to review and approve an
extension of a currently approved
information collection requirement
concerning change order accounting. A

comments were received.
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the FAR,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways in which we can
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
April 21, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this
burden to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB,
Room 10102, NEOB, Washington, DC
20503, and a copy to the General
Services Administration, FAR
Secretariat (VIR), 1800 F Street, NW.,
Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jeritta Parnell, Contract Policy Division,
GSA (202) 501–4082.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
FAR clause 52.243–6, Change Order
Accounting, requires that, whenever the
estimated cost of a change or series of
related changes exceed $100,000, the
contracting officer may require the
contractor to maintain separate accounts
for each change or series of related
changes. The account shall record all
incurred segregable, direct costs (less
allocable credits) of work, both changed
and unchanged, allocable to the change.
These accounts are to be maintained
until the parties agree to an equitable
adjustment for the changes or until the
matter is conclusively disposed of under
the Disputes clause. This requirement is
necessary in order to be able to account
properly for costs associated with
changes in supply and research and
development contracts that are
technically complex and incur
numerous changes.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Advance Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership
Technology Demonstration Program
Department of Energy.
Advance notice of intent.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is providing this Advance
Notice of Intent (ANOI) to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) for the Global
Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP)
Technology Demonstration Program.
The GNEP Technology Demonstration
Program would demonstrate certain
technologies that could change the way
spent nuclear fuel from commercial
light-water nuclear power reactors is
managed. This EIS will inform DOE
officials and the public of the potential
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action, which is to
demonstrate U.S. capability to safely
recycle spent nuclear fuel using
proliferation-resistant separation
processes and the conversion of
transuranics into shorter-lived
radioisotopes.
The proposed action includes three
key elements that would comprise a
proliferation-resistant closed fuel cycle:
(1) The demonstration of separation
processes in which usable and waste
materials that are found in spent nuclear
fuel are separated; (2) the demonstration
of the conversion of transuranics; and
(3) the demonstration of an advanced
fuel fabrication process.
The EIS will evaluate all reasonable
alternative technologies and locations
for the key elements of the proposed
GNEP Technology Demonstration
Program. New facilities and
