DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [FR Doc. 2011–8240 Filed 4–6–11; 8:45 am] [TA–W–70,110] BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division; Presque Isle, Maine; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES On October 7, 2010, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division, Presque Isle, Maine (subject firm). The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65514). Workers produced hardwood veneer. The worker group does not include leased workers or workers supplied from a temporary staffing agency. A careful review of the previouslysubmitted customer surveys and new information obtained during the reconsideration investigation, including U.S. aggregate imports of like or directly competitive articles and other available material, revealed that, during the period of investigation, imports of articles like or directly competitive with hardwood veneer produced by the subject firm have increased, and that the increased imports of hardwood veneer (or like or directly competitive articles) contributed importantly to the worker group separations and sales/production declines at the subject firm. Conclusion mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division, Presque Isle, Maine, who are engaged in employment related to the production of hardwood veneer, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification: All workers of Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division, Presque Isle, Maine, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from the date of this revised certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on date of certification through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0001. Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 2011. 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. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:53 Apr 06, 2011 Jkt 223001 The Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) travel awards are offered to advanced graduate students, to attend one of the NATO’s ASIs held in the NATOmember and partner countries of Europe. The NATO ASI program is targeted to those individuals nearing the completion of their doctoral studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) who can take advantage of opportunities to become familiar with progress in their respective fields of specialization in other countries. The Division of Graduate Education (DGE) in the Education and Human Resources (EHR) Directorate administers the NATO ASI Travel Awards Program. The following describes the procedures for the administration of the Foundation’s NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) Travel Awards, which provide travel support for a number of U.S. graduate students to attend the ASIs scheduled for Europe. • Advanced Study Institute Determination Once NATO has notified DGE that the schedule of institutes is final, and DGE has received the descriptions of each institute, DGE determines which institutes NSF will support. The ASI travel award program supports those institutes that offer instruction in the STEM fields traditionally supported by NSF as published in Guide to Programs. The program will not support institutes that deal with clinical topics, biomedical topics, or topics that have disease-related goals. Examples of areas of research that will not be considered are epidemiology; toxicology; the development or testing of drugs or procedures for their use; diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals; and animal models of such conditions. However, the program does support institutes that involve research in bioengineering, with diagnosis or treatment-related goals that apply engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge. The program also supports bioengineering topics that aid persons with disabilities. Program officers from other Divisions in NSF will be contacted should scientific expertise outside of DGE be required in the determination process. • Solicitation for Nominations Following the final determination as to which Advanced Study Institutes NSF will support, DGE contacts each institute director to ask for a list of up to 5 nominations to be considered for NSF travel support. PO 00000 Frm 00169 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19475 • DGE/EHR Contact With the Individuals Nominated Each individual who is nominated by a director will be sent the rules of eligibility, information about the amount of funding available, and the forms (NSF Form 1379, giving our Division of Financial Management (DFM) electronic banking information; NSF Form 1310 (already cleared), and NSF Form 192 (Application for International Travel Grant)) necessary for our application process. • The Funding Process Once an applicant has been selected to receive NSF travel award support, his or her application is sent to DFM for funding. DFM electronically transfers the amount of $1000 into the bank or other financial institution account identified by the awardee. Our plan is to have the $1000 directly deposited into the awardee’s account prior to the purchase of their airline ticket. An electronic message to the awardee states that NSF is providing support in the amount of $1000 for transportation and miscellaneous expenses. The letter also states that the award is subject to the conditions in F.L. 27, Attachment to International Travel Grant, which states the U.S. flagcarrier policy. As a follow-up, each ASI director may be asked to verify whether all NSF awardees attended the institute. If an awardee is identified as not utilizing the funds as prescribed, we contact the awardee to retrieve the funds. However, if our efforts are not successful, we will forward the awardee’s name to the Division of Grants and Agreements (DGA), which has procedures to deal with that situation. We also ask the awardee to submit a final report on an NSF Form 250, which we provide as an attachment to the electronic award message. • Selection of Awardees The criteria used to select NSF Advanced Study Institute travel awardees are as follows: 1. The applicant is an advanced graduate student. 2. We shall generally follow the order of the nominations, listed by the director of the institute, within priority level. 3. Those who have not attended an ASI in the past will have a higher priority than those who have. 4. Nominees from different institutions and research groups have higher priority than those from the same institution or research group. (Typically, no more than one person is invited from a school or from a research group.) E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM 07APN1 19476 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2011 / Notices Use of the Information: For NSF Form 192, information will be used in order to verify eligibility and qualifications for the award. For NSF Form 250, information will be used to verify attendance at Advanced Study Institute and will be included in Division reports. Estimate of Burden: Form 192—1.5 hours; Form 250—2 hours Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Number of Responses per Award: 150 responses, broken down as follows: For NSF Form 250, 75 respondents; for NSF Form 192, 75 respondents.

DPR–44 and DPR–56, which authorizes operation of the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:53 Apr 06, 2011 Jkt 223001 Units 2 and 3. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of two boilingwater reactors located partly in Peach Bottom Township, York County, partly in Drumore Township, Lancaster County, and partly in Fulton Township, Lancaster County, in southeastern Pennsylvania. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.48(b), requires that nuclear power plants that were licensed before January 1, 1979, satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,’’ Section III.G, ‘‘Fire protection of safe shutdown capability.’’ PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 were licensed to operate prior to January 1, 1979. As such, the licensee’s Fire Protection Program (FPP) must provide the established level of protection as intended by Section III.G of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R. By letter dated March 6, 2009, ‘‘Request for Exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, ‘Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability’ ’’ available at Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), Accession No. ML090680141, and supplemented by letter dated February 12, 2010, ‘‘Response to Request for Additional Information Request for Exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, ‘Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability’ ’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML100470774), the licensee requested an exemption for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3, from certain technical requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 (III.G.2) for the use of operator manual actions (OMAs) in lieu of meeting the circuit separation and protection requirements contained in III.G.2 for Fire Areas 2, 6N, 6S, 13N, 26, 30, 36, 37, 43, 50, and 58 at the plant. 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when: (1) The exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to public health or safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and (2) when special circumstances are present. The licensee has stated that special circumstances are PO 00000 Frm 00170 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 present in that the application of the regulation in this particular circumstance is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule, which is consistent with the language included in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii). In letters dated March 6, 2009, and February 12, 2010, the licensee discussed financial implications associated with plant modifications that may be necessary to comply with the regulation. 10 CFR 50.12(a)2(iii) states that if such costs have been shown to be significantly in excess of those contemplated at the time the regulation was adopted, or are significantly in excess of those incurred by others similarly situated, this may be considered a basis for considering an exemption request. However, financial implications were not considered in the regulatory review of the request since no substantiation was provided regarding such financial implications. Even though no financial substantiation was provided, the licensee did submit sufficient regulatory basis to support a technical review of the exemption request in that the application of the regulation in this particular circumstance is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(b), nuclear power plants licensed before January 1, 1979, are required to meet Section III.G, of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R. The underlying purpose of Section III.G of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, is to ensure that the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown is preserved following a fire event. The regulation intends for licensees to accomplish this by extending the concept of defense-in-depth to: (1) Prevent fires from starting; (2) Rapidly detect, control, and extinguish promptly those fires that do occur; (3) Provide protection for structures, systems, and components important to safety, so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished by the fire suppression activities will not prevent the safe shutdown of the plant. The stated purpose of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 (III.G.2) is to ensure that one of the redundant trains necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions remains free of fire damage in the event of a fire. III.G.2 requires one of the following means to ensure that a redundant train of safe shutdown cables and equipment is free of fire damage, where redundant trains are located in the same fire area outside of primary containment: a. Separation of cables and equipment by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating; E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM 07APN1

    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

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 NATO's ASIs held in 
the NATO-member and partner countries of Europe. The NATO ASI program 
is targeted to those individuals nearing the completion of their 
doctoral studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics 
(STEM) who can take advantage of opportunities to become familiar with 
progress in their respective fields of specialization in other 
countries.
    The Division of Graduate Education (DGE) in the Education and Human 
Resources (EHR) Directorate administers the NATO ASI Travel Awards 
Program. The following describes the procedures for the administration 
of the Foundation's NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) Travel Awards, 
which provide travel support for a number of U.S. graduate students to 
attend the ASIs scheduled for Europe.
 Advanced Study Institute Determination
    Once NATO has notified DGE that the schedule of institutes is 
final, and DGE has received the descriptions of each institute, DGE 
determines which institutes NSF will support. The ASI travel award 
program supports those institutes that offer instruction in the STEM 
fields traditionally supported by NSF as published in Guide to 
Programs. The program will not support institutes that deal with 
clinical topics, biomedical topics, or topics that have disease-related 
goals. Examples of areas of research that will not be considered are 
epidemiology; toxicology; the development or testing of drugs or 
procedures for their use; diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental 
disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals; and 
animal models of such conditions. However, the program does support 
institutes that involve research in bioengineering, with diagnosis or 
treatment-related goals that apply engineering principles to problems 
in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge. The 
program also supports bioengineering topics that aid persons with 
disabilities. Program officers from other Divisions in NSF will be 
contacted should scientific expertise outside of DGE be required in the 
determination process.
 Solicitation for Nominations
    Following the final determination as to which Advanced Study 
Institutes NSF will support, DGE contacts each institute director to 
ask for a list of up to 5 nominations to be considered for NSF travel 
support.
 DGE/EHR Contact With the Individuals Nominated
    Each individual who is nominated by a director will be sent the 
rules of eligibility, information about the amount of funding 
available, and the forms (NSF Form 1379, giving our Division of 
Financial Management (DFM) electronic banking information; NSF Form 
1310 (already cleared), and NSF Form 192 (Application for International 
Travel Grant)) necessary for our application process.
 The Funding Process
    Once an applicant has been selected to receive NSF travel award 
support, his or her application is sent to DFM for funding. DFM 
electronically transfers the amount of $1000 into the bank or other 
financial institution account identified by the awardee.
    Our plan is to have the $1000 directly deposited into the awardee's 
account prior to the purchase of their airline ticket. An electronic 
message to the awardee states that NSF is providing support in the 
amount of $1000 for transportation and miscellaneous expenses. The 
letter also states that the award is subject to the conditions in F.L. 
27, Attachment to International Travel Grant, which states the U.S. 
flag-carrier policy.
    As a follow-up, each ASI director may be asked to verify whether 
all NSF awardees attended the institute. If an awardee is identified as 
not utilizing the funds as prescribed, we contact the awardee to 
retrieve the funds. However, if our efforts are not successful, we will 
forward the awardee's name to the Division of Grants and Agreements 
(DGA), which has procedures to deal with that situation.
    We also ask the awardee to submit a final report on an NSF Form 
250, which we provide as an attachment to the electronic award message.
 Selection of Awardees
    The criteria used to select NSF Advanced Study Institute travel 
awardees are as follows:
    1. The applicant is an advanced graduate student.
    2. We shall generally follow the order of the nominations, listed 
by the director of the institute, within priority level.
    3. Those who have not attended an ASI in the past will have a 
higher priority than those who have.
    4. Nominees from different institutions and research groups have 
higher priority than those from the same institution or research group. 
(Typically, no more than one person is invited from a school or from a 
research group.)
