FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In accordance with section 1605(c) of the Recovery Act and section 176.80 of Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the National Science Foundation (NSF) hereby provides notice that on February 15, 2012, the NSF Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with a delegation order from the Director of the agency, granted a limited project exemption of section 1605 of the Recovery Act (Buy American provision) with respect to the propulsion shaft bulkhead seals that will be used in the ARRV. The basis for this exemption is section 1605(b)(2) of the Recovery Act, in that propulsion shaft bulkhead seals of satisfactory quality are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities. The total cost of the two required propulsion shaft bulkhead seals (∼$82,000) represents less than 0.1% of the total $148 million Recovery Act award provided toward construction of the ARRV. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Recovery Act appropriated $400 million to NSF for several projects being funded by the Foundation’s Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) account. The ARRV is one of NSF’s MREFC projects. Section 1605(a) of the Recovery Act, the Buy American provision, states that none of the funds appropriated by the Act ‘‘may be used for a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States.’’ The ARRV has been developed under a cooperative agreement awarded to the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) that began in 2007. UAF executed the shipyard contract in December 2009 and the project is currently under construction. The purpose of the Recovery Act is to stimulate economic recovery in part by funding current construction projects like the ARRV that are ‘‘shovel ready’’ without requiring projects to revise their standards and specifications, or to restart the bidding process again. Subsections 1605(b) and (c) of the Recovery Act authorize the head of a Federal department or agency to waive the Buy American provision if the head of the agency finds that: (1) Applying the provision would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) the relevant E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1

SUMMARY: This notice announces a change in status of the payable 
periods in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation 2008 (EUC08) program 
for Connecticut and Missouri.
    Public Law 111-312 extended provisions in Public Law 111-92 which 
amended prior laws to create a Third and Fourth Tier of benefits within 
the EUC08 program for qualified unemployed workers claiming benefits in 
high unemployment states. The Department of Labor produces a trigger 
notice indicating which states qualify for EUC08 benefits within Tiers 
Three and Four and provides the beginning and ending dates of payable 
periods for each qualifying state. The trigger notice covering state 
eligibility for the EUC08 program can be found at: https://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.asp. The following changes have 
occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding these 
States' EUC08 status:
     Based on data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
on January 24, 2012, the three month average, seasonally adjusted total 
unemployment rate for Connecticut and Missouri fell below the 8.5% 
threshold to remain ``on'' in Tier 4 of the EUC08 program. As a result, 
the current maximum potential entitlement for Connecticut and Missouri 
in the EUC08 program will decrease from 53 weeks to 47 weeks. The week 
ending February 18, 2012 will be the last week in which EUC claimants 
in Connecticut and Missouri can exhaust Tier 3, and establish Tier 4 
eligibility. Under the phase-out provisions, claimants can receive any 
remaining entitlement they have in Tier 4 after February 18, 2012.
