insular area, nation, and/or
international community.
An additional 20 points will be used
to evaluate overall merit/quality of the
case made for each nomination.
Prior to the panel being convened,
shortage situation nominations will be
evaluated and scored according to the
established scoring system by a primary
reviewer. When the panel convenes, the
primary reviewer will present each
nomination orally in summary form.
After each presentation, panelists will
have an opportunity, if necessary, to
discuss the nomination, with the
primary reviewer leading the discussion
and recording comments. After the
panel discussion is complete, any
scoring revisions will be made by and
at the discretion of the primary
reviewer. The panel is then polled to
recommend, or not recommend, the
shortage situation for designation.
Nominations scoring 70 or higher by the
primary reviewer (on a scale of 0 to
100), and receiving a simple majority
vote in support of designation as a
shortage situation will be
‘‘recommended for designation as a
shortage situation.’’ Nominations
scoring below 70 by the primary
reviewer, and failure to achieve a simple
majority vote in support of designation
will be ‘‘not recommended for
designation as a shortage situation.’’ In
the event of a discrepancy between the
primary reviewer’s scoring and the
panel poll results, the VMLRP program
manager will be authorized to make the
final determination on the nomination’s
designation.
Done in Washington, DC, this 19th day of
December, 2012.

Type of Request: Emergency
submission (new information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 56.
Average Hours per Response:
Application, 10 hours; Quarterly report,

Needs and Uses: The Middle Class
Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012
(Act, Pub. L. 112–96, 126 Stat. 156
(2012).) was signed by the President on
February 22, 2012. The Act meets a
long-standing priority of the
Administration, as well as a critical
national infrastructure need, to create a
single, nationwide interoperable public
safety broadband network (PSBN) that
will, for the first time, allow police
officers, fire fighters, emergency medical
service professionals, and other public
safety officials to effectively
communicate with each other across
agencies and jurisdictions. Public safety
workers have long been hindered in
their ability to respond in a crisis
situation because of incompatible
communications networks and often
outdated communications equipment.
The Act establishes the First

National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) and
authorizes it to take all actions
necessary to ensure the design,
construction, and operation of a
nationwide PSBN, based on a single,
national network architecture.
The Act also charges NTIA with
establishing a grant program to assist
state, regional, tribal, and local
jurisdictions with identifying, planning,
and implementing the most efficient
and effective means to use and integrate
the infrastructure, equipment, and other
architecture associated with the
nationwide PSBN to satisfy the wireless
broadband and data services needs of
their jurisdictions. NTIA will use the
collection of information to ensure that
States applying for SLIGP grants meet
eligibility and programmatic
requirements as well as to monitor and
evaluate how SLIGP recipients are
achieving the core purposes of the
program established by the Act.
NTIA is seeking to emergency review
of the SLIGP request to begin the
application process in the first quarter
of calendar year 2013 and award grants
no later than June 1, 2013. In order to
meet this deadline, NTIA must receive
clearance for the application and
reporting requirements by December 31,
2012 in order to: (1) Ensure applicants
have reasonable notice of the federal
funding opportunity; (2) provide
applicants sufficient time to complete
and submit their applications; and (3)
allow NTIA adequate time to properly
execute the application review process
and make the awards.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Tsudis Chocolate Company (Tsudis),
an operator of FTZ 33, submitted a
notification of proposed export
production activity for its facility in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on December 4,
2012.
The Tsudis facility is located within
Site 10 of FTZ 33. Activity at the facility
would involve the production of
chocolate confectionery bars for export
(no shipments for U.S. consumption
would occur). For shipments to Canada
or Mexico, production under FTZ
procedures could allow reduced duty
treatment under NAFTA Duty Deferral
requirements. For shipments to other
export markets, FTZ procedures could
exempt Tsudis from customs duty
payments on the foreign status material
used in its production. The sole foreignorigin material to be used in the export
production is liquid chocolate (duty
rate: 52.8¢/kg+4.3%). Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign status production
equipment or foreign liquid chocolate
scrapped or destroyed under customs
procedures.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is
February 11, 2013.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the
