Special Demonstration Programs-Model Demonstrations for Assistive Technology Reutilization
The Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) proposes priorities under the Special Demonstration Programs. The Assistant Secretary may use one or more of these priorities for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2006 and in later years. The purpose of Proposed Priority 1 is to support projects that will develop models of statewide assistive technology (AT) device reutilization systems to meet the AT needs of individuals with disabilities. The purpose of Proposed Priority 2 is to support the establishment of a National Device Reutilization Coordination and Technical Assistance Center (Center) to assist grantees funded under Proposed Priority 1 with the establishment or expansion of their statewide AT device reutilization systems. This Center would disseminate information about promising practices and successful models for AT device reutilization systems, facilitate information exchange among grantees, and address AT device reutilization issues at the national level. While funding for projects under Proposed Priority 1 would be for a three-year period only, this Center would be funded for five years in order to conduct follow-up activities.

This rule will provide a moving safety zone around the vessel for the purpose of safe and efficient navigation.
Federal Travel Regulation; Conference Planning-Prepayment of Registration Fee
This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by clarifying that advance payment of discounted conference fees may be treated as an allowable travel advance, and by adding a new section to allow for the reimbursement of the prepayment of ``early bird'' discounted registration fees to attend a conference or training seminar. This clarification is added to allow agencies to take advantage of discounted ``early bird'' registration discounts, thereby saving Government funds. The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at https://www.gsa.gov/ftr.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7R4G2 Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D-7R4G2 turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require replacing the old configuration 2nd stage high pressure turbine (HPT) air seal assembly with a new design 2nd stage HPT air seal assembly that increases cooling air flow. This proposed AD results from a report of an uncontained failure of the 2nd stage air seal assembly, caused by the air seal assembly brace disengaging from the air seal, due to insufficient cooling air flow. We are proposing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the 2nd stage HPT air seal assembly, leading to engine in-flight shutdown and damage to the airplane.

As required by the Truth in Savings Act, NCUA is finalizing its rule and official staff interpretation to address the uniformity and adequacy of information provided to members when they overdraw their share accounts. The amendments address services referred to as ``bounced-check protection'' or ``courtesy overdraft protection'' that credit unions may use to pay members'' checks and allow other overdrafts when there are insufficient funds in the account.
Federal Travel Regulation; Travel of an Employee with Special Needs-Services of Attendants
The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), to clarify existing authority under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 701-796l, and 5 U.S.C. 3102, that allows agencies to reimburse employees with special needs for expenses incurred for the services of an attendant while on official travel. Specifically, this final rule amends the FTR by adding reimbursement for ``services of an attendant traveling with an employee with special needs'' as a miscellaneous expense item. The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at https:// www.gsa.gov/ftr.
Reservists' Education: Revision of Eligibility Requirements for the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a document in the Federal Register on January 10, 2006 (71 FR 1496), revising eligibility requirements for the Montgomery GI BillSelected Reserve program. In that document, we inadvertently removed paragraphs (e)(2) through (e)(4) of Sec. 21.7550 when we revised redesignated paragraph (e)(1). This document reinstates the dropped regulatory text of those paragraphs.
Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental to Commercial Fishing Operations; Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan Regulations; Sea Turtle Conservation; Restrictions to Fishing Activities
NMFS issues this final rule to implement regulatory and non- regulatory management measures to reduce the incidental mortality and serious injury (bycatch) of the western North Atlantic coastal bottlenose dolphin stock (dolphin) (Tursiops truncatus) in the mid- Atlantic coastal gillnet fishery and eight other coastal fisheries operating within the dolphin's distributional range. This final rule also revises the large mesh size restriction under the mid-Atlantic large mesh gillnet rule for conservation of endangered and threatened sea turtles (mid-Atlantic large mesh gillnet rule) to provide consistency among Federal and state management measures. The measures contained in this final rule will implement gillnet effort reduction, gear proximity requirements, gear or gear deployment modifications, and outreach and education measures to reduce dolphin bycatch below the marine mammal stock's potential biological removal level (PBR).
Radio Broadcasting Services; Hallettsville, Meyersville, San Antonio, and Yoakum, TX
In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, this Report and Order allots Channel 261A to Meyersville, Texas, as a first competitive local aural transmission service.

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces its intent to delete the Internal Parcel, encompassing 7,399 acres of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Priorities List Site (RMA/NPL Site) On-Post Operable Unit (OU), from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this proposed action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300, which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). EPA bases its proposal to delete the Internal Parcel of the RMA/NPL Site on the determination by EPA and the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), that all appropriate actions under CERCLA have been implemented to protect human health, welfare and the environment and that no further response action by responsible parties is appropriate. This partial deletion pertains to the surface media (soil, surface water, sediment) and structures within the Internal Parcel of the On- Post OU of the RMA/NPL Site as well as the groundwater below the Internal Parcel that is east of E Street, with the exception of a small area of contaminated groundwater located in the northwest corner of Section 6. The rest of the On-Post OU, including groundwater below RMA that is west of E Street, and the Off-Post OU will remain on the NPL and response activities will continue at those OUs.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200 and -200PF Series Airplanes Equipped With Pratt & Whitney Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 757-200 and -200PF series airplanes equipped with Pratt & Whitney engines. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect and correct any gap between the strut fitting and the forward engine mount assembly and applicable related investigative actions, corrective actions, and other specified actions. This AD results from a report indicating that gaps had been found between the strut fitting and the forward engine mount assembly. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct any gaps between the strut fitting and the forward engine mount assembly of both engines, which could result in separation of the engine from the wing and subsequent loss of control of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727, 727C, 727-100, and 727-100C Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing Model 727, 727C, 727-100, and 727-100C series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracks in the body skin and bear strap at the upper and lower hinge cutouts of the mid-cabin galley doorway, along the upper fastener row of the stringer 14R lap splice, and in the doorstop fitting adjacent to the upper hinge cutout; and corrective action if necessary. This AD also provides for optional terminating action for certain inspections. This AD results from reports of skin and bear strap cracking at the upper and lower hinge cutout and along the upper fastener row of the stringer 14R lap splice, and cracking in the doorstop fitting adjacent to the upper hinge cutout. There are also reports of cracking on airplanes previously modified in production to resist such cracking. We are issuing this AD to find and fix fatigue cracking of the fuselage, which could result in reduced structural integrity and consequent rapid decompression of the airplane.
Pantoea Agglomerans Strain C9-1; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Pantoea agglomerans strain C9-1 on pears and apples when applied or used as a microbial pesticide. Nufarm, Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Pantoea agglomerans strain C9-1.
Benzaldehyde, Captafol, Hexaconazole, Paraformaldehyde, Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate, and Tetradifon; Tolerance Actions
EPA is revoking specific tolerances and tolerance exemptions for residues of the insecticides paraformaldehyde and tetradifon; fungicides captafol, hexaconazole, and sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate; and bee repellent benzaldehyde. EPA canceled food use registrations or deleted food uses from registrations following requests for voluntary cancellation or use deletion by the registrants, or non-payment of registration maintenance fees. Also, stakeholders have withdrawn their support for import tolerances for captafol and hexaconazole. The regulatory actions in this document contribute toward the Agency's tolerance reassessment requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(q), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. By law, EPA is required by August 2006 to reassess the tolerances in existence on August 2, 1996. The regulatory actions in this document pertain to the revocation of 39 tolerances and tolerance exemptions of which 38 count as tolerance reassessments toward the August, 2006 review deadline.
Bacillus Thuringiensis VIP3A Insect Control Protein and the Genetic Material Necessary for its Production in cotton; Extension of a Temporary Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes a temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus Thuringiensis VIP3A Insect Control Protein in cotton when applied or used as a plant incorporated protectant. Syngenta Seeds, Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), requesting an extension to the existing temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Bacillus Thuringiensis VIP3A Insect Control Protein. The temporary tolerance exemption will expire on May 1, 2007. This regulation also removes 40 CFR 180.1247 Bacillus Thuringiensis VIP3A Insect Control Protein and establishes 40 CFR 174.452 Bacillus Thuringiensis VIP3A Insect Control Protein under Part 174Procedures and Requirements for Plant-incorporated protectants.
Radio Broadcasting Services; Aguila, Apache Junction, Buckeye, Glendale, Peoria, Wenden, and Wickenburg, AZ
In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, this Report and Order grants the Petition for Rule Making filed by Black Entrepreneur Association, Inc. (``BEA''), and allots Channel 229C3 to Wickenburg, Arizona. The reference coordinates for Channel 229C3 at Wickenburg are 33-53-49 NL and 112-54-45 WL, with a site restriction of 18.7 kilometers (11.6 miles) southwest of Wickenburg. The Report and Order also dismisses the mutually exclusive Petition for Rule Making filed by Entravision Holdings, L.L.C. (``Entravision''). Entravision had proposed to upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA-FM, Apache Junction, Arizona to Channel 296C1 and to reallot Channel 296C1 from Apache Junction to Peoria, Arizona; substitute Channel 229C3 for vacant Channel 297C3 at Aguila, Arizona; upgrade Channel 295A, Station KDVA(FM), Buckeye, Arizona, to Channel 295C3, and reallot Channel 295C3 to Wenden, Arizona; and to reallot Channel 278C, Station KLNZ(FM), from Glendale to Buckeye, Arizona. Entravision's Petition for Rule Making was dismissed because its proposal to upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA-FM, to Channel 296C1 and reallot Channel 296C1 to Apache Junction was mutually exclusive with a protected FM application.
