In compliance with the requirement of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute, the National Cancer Institute (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collected below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2007, Vol. 72, No. 55, Page 45251 and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after December 1, 2007, unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: Drug Accountability Record (NCI) (Form NIH 2564). Type of Information Collection Request: Extension, with no changes OMB No. 0925-0240. Expiration Date: 11/30/07. Need and Use of Information Collection: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations require investigators to establish a record of the receipt, use and disposition of all investigational agents. The National Cancer Institute, (NCI), as a sponsor of investigational drug trials, has the responsibility to assure the FDA that investigators in its clinical trials program are maintaining systems for drug accountability. In order to fulfill these requirements, a standard Investigational Drug Accountability Report Form (NIH 2564) was designed to account for drug inventories and usage by protocols. The data obtained from the drug accountability record will be used to keep track of the dispensing of investigational anticancer agents to patients. It is used by NCI management to ensure that investigational drug supplies are not diverted for inappropriate protocol or patient use. The information is also compared to patient flow sheets (protocol reporting forms) during site visits conducted for each investigator once every three years. All comparisons are done with the intention of ensuring protocol, patient and drug compliance for patient and drug compliance for patient safety and protections. Frequency of Response: Daily. Affected Public: State or local governments, businesses or other for-profit. Federal agencies or employees, non-profit institutions, and small business or organizations. Type of Respondents: Investigators, pharmacist, nurses, pharmacy technicians, data manager. The annual reporting burden is divided into two major areas. These are the audits of Drug Accountability Forms by Government and its contractors and the use of the forms by clinical research sites. The burden is as follows: Federal Burden: 1700 audits are conducted of clinical research sites, a minimum of three Drug Accountability Forms are reviewed at the audit. Each form requires \1/2\ hour to review. Number of Respondents: 1700. Number of Responses per Respondent: 3. Average Burden per Response: 0.5 hours. Annual Burden Hours: 2,250 hours. Clinical Trial Site Burden: The annual respondents' burden for record keeping is estimated to require 6,240 hours. The record keeping burden represents an average time required for multiple entries (6 minutes or 0.1 hour per entry) on the drug accountability form, the average number of forms maintained by each record keeper and the number of record keepers.

The Copyright Office is publishing a final rule amending its rules governing applications for registration of claims for renewal term of copyright. The regulations take into account the fact that, since January 1, 2006, all applications for renewal have necessarily related to works which are subject to automatic renewal and, thus, are already in their renewal terms, making impossible any 28th-year registration of claims to the renewal term.

Pursuant to the provisions of the ``Government in the Sunshine Act'' (5 U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's (Board) public hearing and meeting described below.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Sacramento District, will prepare a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for Corps authorization actions for the proposed Great Salt Lake Minerals Solar Evaporation Ponds Expansion project. The overall project purpose is to expand extraction capability for potassium at the Great Salt Lake Mineral Corporation's facilities. The proposed expansion would add approximately 33,000 acres of solar evaporative ponds, impacting approximately 30,713.75 acres of waters of the United States, and reducing the need to import raw potassium from other sources. The DEIS will address impacts such as wildlife habitat, water quality, Great Salt Lake water elevations, wetlands, hydrology, cultural resources, transportation, endangered species and industry.

The Begich, Boggs Visitor Center, located within the Chugach National Forest in Alaska will change the fee it charges after consideration of public comments. New fees are to begin on Memorial Day Weekend 2008. The increased fee that it collects will help to make up the shortfall in operations and maintenance costs that it is experiencing due to declining Federal budgets and a change in fee authority. The expanded fee program will allow the visitor center to reopen its doors to the public on weekends from October through May, and to offer interpretive presentations to the public during the summer months, as well as upkeep the center and its exhibits and audio-visual programs and equipment. We are also planning to charge facility use fees, as outlined in our ``Amended Business and Communication Plan 2007,'' for special use of the visitor center. As a result we are also seeking input from the public on the fee structure for special facility use during the same comment period. The special facility use fees will be a part of the amended Recreation Fee structure for the Begich, Boggs Visitor Center and help us to meet our operation and maintenance needs. Currently the only fee charged at the center is a fee for the movie ``Voices From the Ice.'' The fee is currently $1 per person (age 16 and older). Starting on Memorial Day Weekend 2008, we propose to charge a higher fee to all visitors (age 16 and older). The expanded fee will allow these visitors to see the movie, visit the exhibits and participate in any of our interpretive walks and presentations offered. Those people who do not pay for this expanded standard amenity fee will be able to use the restrooms, shop in the Alaska Natural History Association bookstore or ask questions of our staff at the front desk.
