The regulations of the Commission and the preliminary rate being adopted today are effective for calendar year 2008. Therefore, all gaming operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are required to self administer the provisions of these regulations, and report and pay any fees that are due to the Commission by March 31, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Application for NATO Advanced Study Institutes Travel Award and NATO Advanced Study Institutes Travel Award Report Form. OMB Approval Number: 3145–0001. Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2008. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to extend a current information collection for three years. Abstract: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) initiated its Advanced Study Institutes Program in 1958 modeled after a small number of very successful summer science ‘‘courses’’ that were held in Europe and that sought to rebuild Europe’s science strength following World War II. The goal was to bring together both students and researchers from the leading centers of research in highly targeted fields of science and engineering to promote the ‘‘American’’ approach to advanced learning, spirited give-and-take between students and teachers, that was clearly driving the rapid growth of U.S. research strength. Today the goal remains the same; but due to the expansion of NATO, each year an increasing number of ASIs are held in NATO Partner Countries along with those held in NATO Member Countries. In the spirit of cooperation with this important activity, the Foundation inaugurated in 1959 a small program of travel grants for advanced graduate students to assist with the major cost of such participation, that of transatlantic travel. It remains today a significant means for young scientists and engineers to develop contact with their peers throughout the world in their respective fields of specialization. The Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) travel awards are offered to advanced graduate students, to attend one of the E:\FR\FM\06MRN1.SGM 06MRN1
