parent company of ITSNA. In a
February 10, 2006, letter (see Exhibit
48–3), ITSNA requested that OSHA
terminate the recognition of ENT. OSHA
has accepted this request, and ENT is no
longer recognized as an NRTL. Section
II.D of Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7
provides that the Agency shall publish
a Federal Register notice to note the
voluntary termination of a recognition,
and OSHA is doing so in this notice.
OSHA shall not take any further action
on this matter.
In its February 2006 letter, ITSNA
also included a request pertaining to the
Entela mark, which now appears along
with other marks on OSHA’s Web page
of typical registered certification marks
used by each NRTL. ITSNA provided
documentation showing its exclusive
right to use the Entela mark and
requested the mark be shown as one
used by ITSNA for its NRTL approvals.
OSHA will modify its Web page
accordingly.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day
of January, 2008.

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational
Safety and Health.

Notice and Request for
Comments—LSC Elimination of Hawai’i
Migrant Service Area.
AGENCY:
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Legal Services
Corporation will eliminate the Hawai’i
migrant service area, MHI, effective
April 1, 2008, because any eligible
migrant population in Hawai’i can be
more effectively and efficiently served
through the Hawai’i basic field grant.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before March 3, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
submitted by mail, fax or e-mail to

The Legal
Services Corporation’s (LSC) mission is
to promote equal access to justice in our
Nation and to provide for high-quality
civil legal assistance to low-income
persons. Pursuant to its statutory
authority, LSC designates service areas
in U.S. States, territories, possessions
and the District of Columbia for which
it provides grants to legal aid programs
to provide free civil legal services,
primarily through ‘‘basic field’’ grants
based on poverty populations. In some
regions, LSC designates migrant service
areas for grants that are designed to
specifically serve the legal needs of
eligible migrant populations. The
funding for migrant service areas is
taken out of the funding for the basic
field service areas also covering those
populations based on the estimated
number of eligible migrants as a portion
of the total poverty population.
For many years LSC has designated a
migrant service area in Hawai’i. LSC has
been told that the eligible migrant
population in Hawai’i is not sufficient
in numbers to maintain a separate
migrant service area. LSC has
researched this matter and determined
that, based on the available information,
it would be more effective and efficient
to serve the legal needs of the eligible
migrant population in Hawai’i through
the basic field grant rather than
providing a separate migrant grant.
LSC provides grants through a
competitive bidding process, which is
regulated by 45 CFR part 1634. In 2007,
LSC implemented a competitive grants
process for 2008 calendar year funding
that included, inter alia, the Hawai’i
migrant service area. LSC determines
the term of grants after applications
have been received. For 2008, LSC
awarded a three-month grant for the
Hawai’i migrant service area to the Legal
Aid Society of Hawai’i (‘‘LASH’’),
effective January 1, 2008, through March
31, 2008. Through an earlier
competitive grants process, LASH is
also the recipient of the Hawai’i basic
field grant, awarded for calendar years
2007 through 2009.
LSC intends to eliminate the Hawai’i
migrant service area beginning April 1,
2008. Funding for the eligible migrant
population of Hawai’i, which had been
deducted from the Hawai’i basic field
grant, will be restored to that grant. LSC
expects that the recipient of that grant,
the Legal Aid Society of Hawai’i, will
continue to provide services addressing
the special needs of the eligible migrant
population as part of its basic field
grant, which will be subject to

competition again for funding in
calendar year 2010.
LSC invites public comment on this
decision. Interested parties may submit
comments to LSC by March 3, 2008.

Tennessee Valley Authority;
Acceptance for Docketing of an
Application for Combined License for
Bellefonte Units 3 and 4
By letter dated October 30, 2007, as
supplemented by letters dated
November 2, 2007, January 8, 2008, and
January 14, 2008, the Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA), submitted an
application to the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a
combined license (COL) for two AP1000
advanced passive pressurized water
reactors in accordance with the
requirements contained in 10 CFR 52,
‘‘Licenses, Certifications and Approvals
for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ These
reactors will be identified as Bellefonte
Units 3 and 4 and located near the town
of Scottsboro in Jackson County,
Alabama. A notice of receipt and

availability of this application was
previously published in the Federal
Register (72 FR 66200) on November 27,
2007.
The NRC staff has determined that
TVA has submitted information in
accordance with 10 CFR part 2, ‘‘Rules
of Practice for Domestic Licensing
Proceedings and Issuance of Orders,’’
and 10 CFR part 52 that is acceptable for
docketing. The docket numbers
established for Units 3 and 4 are 52–
014, and 52–015, respectively.
The NRC staff will perform a detailed
technical review of the application.
Docketing of the application does not
preclude the NRC from requesting
additional information from the
applicant as the review proceeds, nor
does it predict whether the Commission
will grant or deny the application. The
Commission will conduct a hearing in
accordance with Subpart L, ‘‘Informal
Hearing Procedures for NRC
Adjudications,’’ of 10 CFR part 2 and
will receive a report on the COL
application from the Advisory
Committee on Reactor Safeguards in
accordance with 10 CFR 52.87, ‘‘Referral
to the Advisory Committee on Reactor
Safeguards (ACRS).’’ If the Commission
finds that the COL application meets the
applicable standards of the Atomic
Energy Act and the Commission’s
regulations, and that required
notifications to other agencies and
bodies have been made, the Commission
will issue a COL, in the form and
containing conditions and limitations
that the Commission finds appropriate
and necessary.
In accordance with 10 CFR part 51,
the Commission will also prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action. Pursuant to 10 CFR
51.26, and as part of the environmental
scoping process, the staff intends to
hold a public scoping meeting. Detailed
information regarding this meeting will
be included in a future Federal Register
notice.
Finally, the Commission will
announce in a future Federal Register
notice the opportunity to petition for
leave to intervene in the hearing
required for this application by 10 CFR
52.85.
