requesting that a product be either
removed or that a quantity restriction be

(b) Content of a Request to Remove or
Restrict. The Request to Remove or
Restrict must provide the substantive
information set forth in subsection 6(b)
(Contents of a Response with an Offer)
of these procedures.
(c) Procedures.
(1) In considering whether to accept a
Request to Remove or Restrict,
CITA will follow procedures set
forth in section 5 (Consideration
and Acceptance of a Request) of
these procedures.
(2) If CITA determines to accept the
Request to Remove or Restrict,
CITA and any responding interested
entity shall follow applicable
procedures and contents set forth in
subsections 6(a) (Response
Submission) and section 7
(Submitting Rebuttal Evidence) of
these procedures.
(3) As set forth in subsections 8(a) and
(b) (Determination Process) of these
procedures, CITA will determine
whether the subject product of the
Request to Remove or Restrict is
available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in the DRCAFTA countries not later than 30
U.S. business days after the official
receipt of the request.
(i) If CITA determines that the product
is available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner in the
DR-CAFTA countries, e.g., that a
CAFTA-DR supplier is capable to
supply the entire subject product
requested originally, then that
product will be removed from the
Commercial Availability List in
Annex 3.25 of the Agreement.
(ii) If CITA determines that the
product is available in restricted
quantities in a timely manner in the
CAFTA-DR countries, e.g., that a
CAFTA-DR supplier is capable to
supply part of the subject product
requested originally then a
restricted quantity will be
introduced for that product.
(iii) If the Commercial Availability
List changes as a result of CITA’s
determination for the Request to
Remove or Restrict, CITA will
notify interested parties by email of
its determination and will publish a
notice of its determination for the
request to remove or restrict in the
U.S. Federal Register.
(A) For removal, the notice will state

containing the subject product are
not to be treated as originating in a

product is obtained from nonCAFTA-DR sources, effective for
goods entered into the United States
on or after six months (i.e., 180
calendar days) after the date of
publication of the notice.
(B) For restriction, the notice will
specify the restricted quantity for
the subject product that is to be

180 calendar days) after the
publication date of the notice.

6. Other Submission Requirements:
Applications for grants under this

exception to this requirement in
accordance with the instructions in this
section.
a. Electronic Submission of
Applications.
Applications for grants under the
Centers for Independent Living
program, CFDA Number 84.132A, must
be submitted electronically using the
Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site
at https://www.Grants.gov Through this
site, you will be able to download a
copy of the application package,
complete it offline, and then upload and
submit your application. You may not email an electronic copy of a grant
application to us.
We will reject your application if you
submit it in paper format unless, as
described elsewhere in this section, you
qualify for one of the exceptions to the
electronic submission requirement and
submit, no later than two weeks before
the application deadline date, a written
statement to the Department that you
qualify for one of these exceptions.
Further information regarding
calculation of the date that is two weeks
before the application deadline date is
provided later in this section under
Exception to Electronic Submission
Requirement.
You may access the electronic grant
application for Centers for Independent
Living program at https://
www.Grants.gov. You must search for
the downloadable application package
for this competition by the CFDA
number. Do not include the CFDA
number’s alpha suffix in your search
(e.g., search for 84.132, not 84.132A).
Please note the following:
• When you enter the Grants.gov site,
you will find information about
submitting an application electronically
through the site, as well as the hours of
operation.
• Applications received by Grants.gov
are date and time stamped. Your
application must be fully uploaded and
submitted, and must be date and time
stamped by the Grants.gov system no
later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC
time, on the application deadline date.
Except as otherwise noted in this
section, we will not consider your
application if it is date and time
stamped by the Grants.gov system later
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:08 Mar 20, 2007
Jkt 211001
than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on
the application deadline date. When we
retrieve your application from
Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are
rejecting your application because it
was date and time stamped by the
Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m.,
Washington, DC time, on the
application deadline date.
• The amount of time it can take to
upload an application will vary
depending on a variety of factors
including the size of the application and
the speed of your Internet connection.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that
you do not wait until the application
deadline date to begin the submission
process through Grants.gov.
• You should review and follow the
Education Submission Procedures for
submitting an application through
Grants.gov that are included in the
application package for this competition
to ensure that you submit your
application in a timely manner to the
Grants.gov system. You can also find the
Education Submission Procedures
pertaining to Grants.gov at https://eGrants.ed.gov/help/
GrantsgovSubmissionProcedures.pdf.
• To submit your application via
Grants.gov, you must complete all steps
in the Grants.gov registration process
(see https://www.grants.gov/applicants/
get_registered.jsp). These steps include
(1) registering your organization, a
multi-part process that includes
registration with the Central Contractor
Registry (CCR); (2) registering yourself
as an Authorized Organization
Representative (AOR); and (3) getting
authorized as an AOR by your
organization. Details on these steps are
outlined in the Grants.gov 3-Step
Registration Guide (see https://
www.grants.gov/section910/
Grants.govRegistrationBrochure.pdf).
You also must provide on your
application the same D–U–N–S Number
used with this registration. Please note
that the registration process may take
five or more business days to complete,
and you must have completed all
registration steps to allow you to submit
successfully an application via
Grants.gov. In addition you will need to
update your CCR registration on an
annual basis. This may take three or
more business days to complete.
• You will not receive additional
point value because you submit your
application in electronic format, nor
will we penalize you if you qualify for
an exception to the electronic
submission requirement, as described
elsewhere in this section, and submit
your application in paper format.
• You must submit all documents
electronically, including all information
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
you typically provide on the following
forms: Application for Federal
Assistance (SF 424), the Department of
Education Supplemental Information for
SF 424, Budget Information—NonConstruction Programs (ED 524), and all
necessary assurances and certifications.
Please note that two of these forms—the
SF 424 and the Department of Education
Supplemental Information for SF 424—
have replaced the ED 424 (Application
for Federal Education Assistance).
• You must attach any narrative
sections of your application as files in
a .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text), or
.PDF (Portable Document) format. If you
upload a file type other than the three
file types specified in this paragraph or
submit a password-protected file, we
will not review that material.
• Your electronic application must
comply with any page-limit
requirements described in this notice.
• After you electronically submit
your application, you will receive from
Grants.gov an automatic notification of
receipt that contains a Grants.gov
tracking number. (This notification
indicates receipt by Grants.gov only, not
receipt by the Department.) The
Department then will retrieve your
application from Grants.gov and send a
second notification to you by e-mail.
This second notification indicates that
the Department has received your
application and has assigned your
application a PR/Award number (an EDspecified identifying number unique to
your application).
• We may request that you provide us
original signatures on forms at a later
date.
Application Deadline Date Extension
in Case of Technical Issues with the
Grants.gov System: If you are
experiencing problems submitting your
application through Grants.gov, please
contact the Grants.gov Support Desk at
1–800–518–4726. You must obtain a
Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number
and must keep a record of it.
If you are prevented from
electronically submitting your
application on the application deadline
date because of technical problems with
the Grants.gov system, we will grant you
an extension until 4:30 p.m.,
Washington, DC time, the following
business day to enable you to transmit
your application electronically or by

date. The Department will contact you
after a determination is made on
whether your application will be
accepted.

application deadline date and time or if the
technical problem you experienced is
unrelated to the Grants.gov system.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal
departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of their programs by
engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and
measuring program results against those
goals.
The goal of the Centers for
Independent Living program is to
promote and practice the independent
living philosophy of consumer control
of the center regarding decisionmaking,
service delivery, management, and
establishment of the policy and
direction of the center; self-help and
self-advocacy; development of peer
relationships and peer role models; and
the equal access of individuals with
significant disabilities to society and to
all services, programs, activities,
resources, and facilities, whether public
or private and regardless of the funding
source.
In order to measure the success of one
component of meeting this goal, each
grantee is required to track the number
of individuals who leave nursing homes
and other institutions for communitybased housing due to independent
living services provided by the center.
In annual performance reports, centers
are required to provide information on
the number of individuals requesting
this service and the number of
individuals who successfully relocated
from institutionalized to communitybased living.

Energy Conservation Program for
Consumer Products: Representative
Average Unit Costs of Energy
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this notice, the Department
of Energy (DOE) is forecasting the
representative average unit costs of five
residential energy sources for the year
2007 pursuant to the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act. The five sources are
electricity, natural gas, No. 2 heating oil,
propane, and kerosene.
DATES: Effective Date: The
representative average unit costs of
energy contained in this notice will
become effective April 20, 2007 and will
remain in effect until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
323 of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 6291–
6309) requires that DOE prescribe test
procedures for the determination of the
estimated annual operating costs or
other measures of energy consumption
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
for certain consumer products specified
in the Act. (42 U.S.C. 6293) These test
procedures are found in Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
430, subpart B.
Section 323(b) of the Act requires that
the estimated annual operating costs of
a covered product be calculated from
measurements of energy use in a
representative average use cycle or
period of use and from representative
average unit costs of the energy needed
to operate such product during such
cycle. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)) The section
further requires that DOE provide
information to manufacturers regarding
the representative average unit costs of
energy. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(4)) This cost
information should be used by
manufacturers to meet their obligations
under section 323(c) of the Act. Most
notably, these costs are used to comply
with Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
requirements for labeling.
Manufacturers are required to use the
revised DOE representative average unit
costs when the FTC publishes new
ranges of comparability for specific
covered products, 16 CFR part 305.
Interested parties can also find
information covering the FTC labeling
requirements at https://www.ftc.gov/
appliances.
DOE last published representative
average unit costs of residential energy
for use in the Energy Conservation
Program for Consumer Products Other
Than Automobiles on February 27, 2006
(71 FR 9806). Effective April 20, 2007,
the cost figures published on February
27, 2006, will be superseded by the cost
figures set forth in this notice.
DOE’s Energy Information
Administration (EIA) has developed the
2007 representative average unit aftertax costs found in this notice. The
representative average unit after-tax
costs for electricity, natural gas, No. 2
heating oil, and propane are based on
simulations used to produce the
February, 2007, EIA Short-Term Energy
Outlook. (EIA release the Outlook
monthly.) The representative average
unit after-tax costs for kerosene are
derived from their prices relative to that
of heating oil, based on 2001–2005
averages for these two fuels. The source
for these price data is the January, 2007,
Monthly Energy Review DOE/EIA–
0035(2007/01). The Short-Term Energy
Outlook and the Monthly Energy Review
are available on the EIA Web site at
https://www.eia.doe.gov. For more

Please note the following:
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time
stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted, and
must be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than
4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date.
Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your
application if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system
later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline
date. When we retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify
you if we are rejecting your application because it was date and time
stamped by the Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors including the size of the
application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.

4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results
[[Page 13268]]
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of their programs by engaging in strategic planning,
setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program
results against those goals.
The goal of the Centers for Independent Living program is to
promote and practice the independent living philosophy of consumer
control of the center regarding decisionmaking, service delivery,
management, and establishment of the policy and direction of the
center; self-help and self-advocacy; development of peer relationships
and peer role models; and the equal access of individuals with
significant disabilities to society and to all services, programs,
activities, resources, and facilities, whether public or private and
regardless of the funding source.
In order to measure the success of one component of meeting this
goal, each grantee is required to track the number of individuals who
leave nursing homes and other institutions for community-based housing
due to independent living services provided by the center. In annual
performance reports, centers are required to provide information on the
