procedures governing the submission of a request and providing opportunity for

interested entities to submit comments and supporting evidence before a commercial availability determination is

made. In Presidential Proclamations 7987 and 7996, the President delegated to CITA the authority under section 203(o)(4) of CAFTA–DR Implementation Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. Pursuant to this authority, on September 15, 2008, CITA published modified procedures it would follow in considering requests to modify the Annex 3.25 list of products determined to be not commercially available in the territory of any Party to CAFTA–DR (Modifications to Procedures for Considering Requests Under the Commercial Availability Provision of the Dominican Republic-Central

America-United States Free Trade Agreement, 73 FR 53200) (‘‘CITA’s procedures’’).

On January 16, 2013, the Chairman of CITA received a request for a Commercial Availability determination (‘‘Request’’) from Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A. on behalf of VF Corp. for certain three-layered composite fabric, as specified below. On January 18, 2013, in accordance with CITA’s procedures, CITA notified interested parties of the Request, which was posted on the dedicated Web site for CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability proceedings. In its notification, CITA advised that any Response with an Offer to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be submitted by January 31, 2013, and any Rebuttal Comments to a Response must be submitted by February 6, 2013, in

accordance with sections 6 and 7 of CITA’s procedures. No interested entity submitted a Response to the Request advising CITA of its objection to the Request and its ability to supply the subject product.

In accordance with section 203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2) of CITA’s procedures, as no interested entity submitted a Response objecting to the Request and providing an offer to supply the subject product, CITA has determined to add the specified fabric to

the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– DR Agreement.

The subject product has been added

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– DR Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A revised list has been posted on the dedicated Web site for CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability proceedings. Specifications: Certain 3-layered Composite Fabric

Remarks: Ranges above allow for a variance of up to five (5) percent for fabric weight, thread count and three (3) percent for fiber content and yarn size. NOTE: The yarn size designations describe a range of yarn specifications for yarn before knitting, dyeing and finishing of the fabric. They are intended as specifications to be followed by the mill in sourcing yarn used to produce the fabric. Dyeing, finishing and knitting can alter the characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the finished fabric. This specification therefore includes yarns appearing in
the finished fabric as finer or coarser than the designated yarn sizes provided that the variation occurs after processing of the greige yarn and production of the fabric. The specifications for the fabric apply to the fabric itself prior to cutting and sewing of the finished garment. Such processing may alter the

measurements.

**Submission for OMB Emergency**

**Review**

**AGENCY :**  Corporation for National and Community Service.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), submitted the following information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (PRA 95) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). CNCS requested that OMB review and approve its emergency request by February 22, 2013, for a period of six months. A copy of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting Amy Borgstrom, (202) 606–6930 or by email

at aborgstrom@cns.gov.

Unfortunately, since CNCS requested OMB’s approval of this emergency request by February 22, 2013, there will be not enough time for the public to provide comments through this Federal Register Notice before the approval date. Therefore, there will be no comment period for this request.

Type of Review: Emergency Request. Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.

Title: AmeriCorps Partnership Application Instructions.

OMB Number: TBD. Agency Number: None. Affected Public: Nonprofit organizations and congregations.

Total Respondents: 50.

Frequency: One time. Average Time per Response: 40 hours. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2000 hours.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintenance): None.

Description: CNCS has been working closely with the Department of Education over the past several months to develop a strategic partnership that leverages strengths of both agencies to
address one of our nation’s most critical education needs, helping students in the lowest-achieving schools improve their academic outcomes. This proposed partnership will place AmeriCorps
members in the nation’s lowest performing schools starting at the beginning of this school year. It capitalizes on the strengths of the AmeriCorps model, placing members where they are most needed, while making additional human resources
available to districts that are implementing the Department of Education’s School Improvement

Grants.

If normal clearance procedures are followed, CNCS and the Department of Education will lose the opportunity to collaborate on these partnerships, as funds must be obligated by September 30, 2013. In addition, we want to ensure that we allow enough time for applicants to submit quality applications and for the agencies to conduct a thorough review.

We are particularly interested in making grant awards in time for the Education program to be operational at the start of the school year (August/ September 2013). If we begin the standard OMB clearance procedure now, we will not be able to meet this goal.

Rosa Moreno-Mahoney,
Deputy Director, AmeriCorps State and

National.

and consistent with Charter 37 of Title 50 U.S.C. shall perform the following

awards that favors individuals expressing an interest in national security issues or pursuing a career in a national security position.

b. Provide for wide dissemination of information regarding the activities
assisted under the statute.

c. Establish qualifications for students desiring scholarships or fellowships, and institutions of higher education desiring grants including, in the case of students desiring a scholarship or fellowship, a requirement that the

d. After taking into account the annual analyses of trends in language,international, area, and counterproliferation studies under 50 U.S.C. 1906(b)(1), make recommendations to the Secretary of Defense regarding:

i. Which countries are not emphasized in other U.S. study abroad programs, such as countries in which few U.S. students are studying and countries which are of importance to the national security interests of the United States, and are, therefore, critical countries for the purposes of 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(A);

ii. Which areas within the disciplines described in 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(B) relating to the national security interests of the United States are areas of study

office of the Federal Government involved in national security affairs or national security policy upon completion of their education; and

v. Which foreign languages are critical to the national security interests of the United States for purposes of 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(D) (relating to grants for the National Flagship Language Initiative) and 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(E) (relating to the scholarship program for advanced English language studies by heritage community citizens).

the assistance.
