October 7, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on August 2, 2011 (76 FR 46307) and allowed 60-days for public comment. No public comment were received. 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, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: A Generic Submission for Theory Development and Validation (NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: In order to carry out NCI's legislative mandate to conduct and support research with respect to the causes and prevention of cancer, it is beneficial for NCI, through initiatives in the Behavioral Research Program (BRP), to conduct and support behavioral research informed by and informing theory. Formative research in the area of theory development and validation would provide the basis for developing effective cancer prevention and control strategies, allow for a better understanding of theoretical constructs that influence decisions and actions related to cancer, and ultimately contribute to reducing the U.S. cancer burden. Data collections that result from this generic clearance would inform and clarify the use of theory in BRP-supported initiatives and funding announcements. Specifically, this research would allow NCI to conduct research to: (1) Identify psychological, biobehavioral, demographic, and individual difference predictors of cancer prevention and control behaviors and outcomes; (2) Develop and refine integrative theories; (3) Identify and observe theoretical and innovative trends in cancer prevention and control research; and (4) Determine feasibility and usefulness of collaborative and multidisciplinary approaches to cancer prevention and control. Frequency of Response: Will be determined by each project. Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other for profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government. Type of Respondents: Members of the public including, but not limited to health professionals, physicians, and researchers. Table 1 outlines the estimated burden hours and cost required for a three-year approval of this generic submission.

This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda for a meeting of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). The meeting is open to the public and the site is accessible to individuals with disabilities. The Agenda provides an opportunity for citizens to comment on the business before the Committee.

The Sabine Resource Advisory Committee will meet in Hemphill, Texas. The committee is authorized under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (Pub. L. 110-343) (the Act) and operates in compliance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The purpose of the committee is to improve collaborative relationships and to provide advice and recommendations to the Forest Service concerning projects and funding consistent with the title II of the Act.

On September 22, 2011 (76 FR 58786), the Defense Acquisition University Board of Visitors announced a meeting to be held Thursday, October 13, 2011, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. at the Hirsch Center, Building 226, Defense Acquisition University, 9820 Belvoir Road in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.150, the Department of Defense announces that this meeting is cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.

In this document, the Commission considered a request for declaratory ruling filed by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, seeking guidance on the scope of permissible operations under section 337 of the Communications Act as undertaken by state, local and other governmental entities in the public safety broadband spectrum of the 700 MHz band. The Commission dismissed the request, but clarified that a reasonably broad interpretation of the definition of ``public safety services'' under section 337 of the Act would allow some of the uses proposed by Charlotte and other commenters.

Based on the 2010/2011 Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR) assessments for sandbar, dusky, and blacknose sharks, NMFS is declaring the following stock status determinations. Sandbar sharks are still overfished, but no longer experiencing overfishing. Dusky sharks are still overfished and still experiencing overfishing (i.e., their stock status has not changed). Blacknose sharks were assessed as two separate stocks for the first time in the 2010/2011 assessment (Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico); therefore, NMFS is making separate stock status determinations for the two blacknose shark stocks. The Atlantic stock is overfished and experiencing overfishing, and the status of the Gulf of Mexico stock is unknown. Scalloped hammerhead sharks were previously determined to be overfished and experiencing overfishing by NMFS in April 2011. As such, NMFS announces its intent to prepare an EIS under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This EIS would assess the potential effects on the human environment of action proposed through rulemaking to rebuild and end overfishing of these stocks, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). Through the rulemaking process, NMFS would amend the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and examine management alternatives available to rebuild these shark stocks and end overfishing, as necessary. To begin scoping for that rulemaking process, NMFS is requesting comments on a range of commercial and recreational management measures, in both directed and incidental fisheries, including, but not limited to, quota levels, regional and seasonal quotas, retention limits, gear modifications, and time/area closures.

The Committee is proposing to add products to the Procurement List that will be furnished by nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities, and deletes services previously furnished by such agencies.

We, NMFS, announce a 90-day finding on three petitions to delist coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We find that the petitions do not present substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted.

NMFS closes the northern Florida west coast subzone to the commercial harvest of king mackerel in or from the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This closure is necessary to protect the Gulf king mackerel resource.

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the countervailable duty order on certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks (``Kitchen Racks'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The period of review (``POR'') is January 7, 2009, through December 31, 2009 (see further explanation in the ``Period of Review'' section of this notice). This review covers multiple exporters/producers, two of which are being individually reviewed as mandatory respondents. We preliminarily find that the mandatory respondents, Guangdong Wireking Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd. (``Wireking'') and New King Shan (Zhu Hai) Co., Ltd. (``NKS''), received countervailable subsidies during the POR. Their countervailing duty (``CVD'') rates have been used to calculate the rate applied to the other firms subject to this review. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties as detailed in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' section of this notice. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

This document provides notice that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') has issued a final determination concerning the country of origin of certain Ethernet switches. Based upon the facts presented, CBP has concluded that the programming operations performed in the United States, using U.S.-origin software, substantially transform the non-TAA country switches. Therefore, the country of origin of the switches is the United States for purposes of U.S. Government procurement.
