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. Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. [FR Doc.

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 Karen J. Sarjeant, Vice President for Programs and Compliance, Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K St., NW., Washington, DC 20007; 202–295–1645 (phone); 202–337–6386 (fax); ksarjeant@lsc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen J. Sarjeant, Vice President for Programs and Compliance, Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K St., NW., Washington, DC 20007; 202–295–1645 VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:48 Jan 25, 2008 Jkt 214001 (phone); 202–337–6386 (fax); ksarjeant@lsc.gov. 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00156 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. More information about LSC can be found at LSC’s Web site: https:// www.lsc.gov. Victor M. Fortuno, Vice President and General Counsel. [FR Doc.

A notice of receipt and PO 00000 Frm 00157 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4923 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.
