Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; The National Diabetes Education Program Comprehensive Evaluation Plan
Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approval of the information listed below. The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2008, pages 52052-52053 and allowed 60 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health received one comment that was determined to be not relevant to the specific questions stated in the notice. 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, the collection of information that has been extended, revised, or implemented unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: The National Diabetes Educations Program Comprehensive Evaluation Plan. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection (0925- 0552). Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and more than 200 public and private organizations. The long-term goals of the NDEP are to improve the treatment and health outcomes of people with diabetes, to promote early diagnosis, and, ultimately, to prevent the onset of diabetes. The NDEP objectives are: (1) To increase awareness of the seriousness of diabetes, its risk factors, and strategies for preventing diabetes and its complications among people at risk for diabetes; (2) to improve understanding about diabetes and its control and to promote better self-management behaviors among people with diabetes; (3) to improve health care providers' understanding of diabetes and its control and to promote an integrated approach to care; (4) to promote health care policies that improve the quality of and access to diabetes care. Multiple strategies have been devised to address the NDEP objectives. These have been described in the NDEP Strategic Plan and include: (1) Creating partnerships with other organizations concerned about diabetes; (2) developing and implementing awareness and education activities with special emphasis on reaching the racial and ethnic populations disproportionately affected by diabetes; (3) identifying, developing, and disseminating educational tools and resources for the program's diverse audiences; (4) promoting policies and activities to improve the quality of and access to diabetes care. The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP program has been implemented, and how successful it has been in meeting program objectives. The evaluation relies heavily on data gathered from existing national surveys such as National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), among others for this information. This generic clearance request is for the collection of additional primary data from NDEP target audiences on some key process and impact measures that are necessary to effectively evaluate the program. Approval is requested for a survey of audiences targeted by the National Diabetes Education Program including people at risk for diabetes, people with diabetes and their families and the public. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Type of Respondents: Adults. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 3759, Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours Per Response: .153; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 575. There are no Capital Costs, Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.

National Toxicology Program (NTP); NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM); Availability of the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) Test Method Evaluation Report: Validation Status of Five In Vitro
NICEATM announces availability of the ICCVAM Test Method Evaluation Report: Validation Status of Five In Vitro Test Methods Proposed for Assessing Potential Pyrogenicity of Pharmaceuticals and Other Products (NIH Publication 08-6392). The test method evaluation report (TMER) describes five in vitro pyrogen test methods that can be used for detecting Gram-negative endotoxin in human parenteral pharmaceuticals. The report includes ICCVAM's (a) Recommendations on uses and limitations for each test method, (b) recommendations for standardized protocols, (c) recommendations for future studies, and (d) recommendations for the development of performance standards. ICCVAM concludes that none of these test methods can be considered as a complete replacement for the rabbit pyrogen test (RPT) for all testing situations for the detection of Gram-negative endotoxin. However, ICCVAM recommends that they can be considered for use on a case-by-case basis to detect Gram-negative endotoxin in human parenteral drugs, subject to product-specific validation to demonstrate equivalence to the RPT, in accordance with applicable U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. When used in this manner, these methods can reduce the number of animals needed for pyrogenicity testing. The report also recommends that these and other in vitro alternative test methods be considered prior to in vivo pyrogenicity testing, where determined appropriate for a specific testing situation. NICEATM also announces availability of the final ICCVAM Background Review Document: Validation Status of Five In Vitro Test Methods Proposed for Assessing Potential Pyrogenicity of Pharmaceuticals and Other Products (NIH Publication 08-6391). The final background review document (BRD) provides the data and analyses used to assess the current validation status of these five in vitro test methods. The ICCVAM TMER and supporting BRDs have been forwarded to U.S. Federal agencies for regulatory and other acceptance consideration, where applicable. Responses received will be posted on the NICEATM- ICCVAM Web site.

This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

Underground Injection Control Program; Petition To Renew Exemption From Hazardous Waste Disposal Restrictions to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; Class I Hazardous Waste Injection; Occidental Chemical Corporation
Notice is hereby given that renewal of an exemption to the Land Disposal Restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act has been granted to Occidental Chemical Corporation (Occidental) for five Class I hazardous waste injection wells, identified as Well Nos. 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9, and located at Occidental's chemical manufacturing facility near Wichita, Kansas. As required by Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 148, Occidental has satisfactorily demonstrated to the Environmental Protection Agency by petition and supporting documentation that, to a reasonable degree of certainty, there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the injection zone for as long as the waste remains hazardous, and therefore is protective of underground sources of drinking water. This time period is defined by 40 CFR 148.20 as 10,000 years. The final decision allows the underground injection by Occidental of the specific restricted hazardous waste, identified in the Petition, into Well Numbers 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 for as long as the basis for granting approval of the petition remains valid, under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. For the purpose of the required demonstration of no-migration of hazardous waste out of the injection zone over a 10,000 year period, modeling and projections were based on an operational lifetime projection date of December 31, 2020. Therefore, on or by the closing date of the aforementioned operational period, the operator will be required to obtain another exemption re- issuance from EPA. Included in this approval is the stipulation that Occidental acquires and continues to maintain approved Class I hazardous waste injection well permits from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. As required by 40 CFR 124.10, a public notice was issued on July 21, 2008. In addition to having solicited written comments regarding the Agency's proposed approval, EPA also announced that a formal public hearing would be held if there was a significant degree of public interest, but no interest was expressed, hence no formal public hearing was conducted. The public comment period ended on September 3, 2008. All comments have been addressed and considered in the final decision. This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no administrative appeal process that can be applied to a final petition decision.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement for Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)), the National Park Service (NPS) is announcing its intent to prepare a General Management Plan/ Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for Mount Rushmore National Memorial (Memorial), South Dakota. This effort will update the 1980 GMP. The GMP/EIS will establish the overall direction for the Memorial, setting broad management goals for managing the area over the next 15 to 20 years. The GMP/EIS will prescribe desired resource conditions and visitor experiences that are to be achieved and maintained throughout the Memorial based on such factors as the Memorial's purpose, significance, special mandates, the body of laws and policies directing Memorial management, resource analysis, and the range of public expectations and concerns. The GMP/EIS also will outline the kinds of resource management activities, visitor activities, and developments that would be appropriate in the Memorial in the future. A range of reasonable alternatives for managing the Memorial will be developed through this planning process and will include, at a minimum, a no-action and a preferred alternative. Major issues the GMP/ EIS will address include changes in visitor use patterns and special events, adequacy and sustainability of existing facilities for visitor opportunities and activities and for Memorial operations, and partnership roles and opportunities. The need for new facilities such as maintenance, museum curation and storage, and interpretation will be examined. The GMP/EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects of the alternative management approaches. As the first phase of the planning process, the NPS is beginning to scope the issues to be addressed in the GMP/EIS. All interested persons, organizations, Agencies, and Tribes are encouraged to submit comments and suggestions on issues and concerns that should be addressed in the GMP/EIS, and the range of appropriate alternatives that should be examined.

The initial Notice of Intent issued by the FERC identified the possible need to amend the Mt. Hood National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Mt. Hood Forest Plan) if the Palomar Project is approved and constructed. Through the pre-filing process the Forest Service has determined amendments to the Mt. Hood Forest Plan are needed for this project and will include the analysis in the FERC EIS.
Extension of the Re-Registration Period and Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documentation for Nicaraguan Temporary Protected Status Beneficiaries
On October 1, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Notice in the Federal Register extending the designation of Nicaragua for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) through July 5, 2010. USCIS has decided to extend the re-registration period through December 30, 2008. Beneficiaries of TPS for Nicaragua are required to re- register and obtain new Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), when an EAD is requested by the beneficiary. Since, USCIS will not be able to process and re-issue new EADs for all such beneficiaries by the January 5, 2009, expiration date, USCIS has decided to automatically extend the validity of EADs issued to Nicaraguan nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Nicaragua) until July 5, 2009. This Notice announces that extension and also explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended.

USCIS has decided to extend the re-registration period through December 30, 2008. Beneficiaries of TPS for Honduras are required to re-register and obtain new Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), when an EAD is requested by the beneficiary. Since USCIS will not be able to process and re-issue new EADs for all such beneficiaries by the January 5, 2009 expiration date, USCIS has decided to automatically extend the validity of EADs issued to Honduran nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Honduras) until July 5, 2009. This Notice announces that extension and also explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended.
Migratory Bird Hunting and Permits; Regulations for Managing Harvest of Light Goose Populations
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a final rule in the Federal Register on November 5, 2008, that sets forth regulations that authorize measures to increase harvest of certain populations of light geese, revise the regulations for the management of overabundant light goose populations, and modify the conservation order that will increase take of birds from such populations. That final rule contained errors in two amendatory instructions and certain corresponding text of the regulations; one error would incorrectly remove changes made to the regulations at 50 CFR part 20 in a series of final rules we published concerning hunting methods for resident Canada geese and the other mischaracterizes the contents of subpart E of 50 CFR part 21. This document corrects those errors.
Airworthiness Directives; Eclipse Aviation Corporation Model EA500 Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Eclipse Aviation Corporation (Eclipse) Model EA500 airplanes equipped with a Pratt and Whitney Canada, Corp. (PWC) PW610F-A engine. This AD requires you to incorporate operating limitations into Section 2, Limitations, of the airplane flight manual (AFM). This AD results from several incidents of engine surge. We are issuing this AD to prevent hard carbon buildup on the static vane, which could result in engine surges. Engine surges may result in a necessary reduction in thrust and decreased power for the affected engine. In some cases, this could result in flight and landing under single-engine conditions.
