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.

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.

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND 

COMMUNITY SERVICE 

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2013 / Notices 11161 

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.

Deputy Director, AmeriCorps State and

Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 50 

U.S.C. 1903 and the Federal Advisory

Appendix, as amended), the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b) (‘‘the Sunshine 

Act’’), and 41 CFR 102–3.50(a), the 

Department of Defense (DoD) gives 

notice that it is reestablishing the 

charter for the National Security 

Education Board (‘‘the Board’’). 

The Board is a non-discretionary 

Federal advisory committee that shall 

provide the Secretary of Defense with 

independent advice and 

recommendation on developing the 

national capacity to educate U.S. 

citizens to understand foreign cultures, 

strengthen U.S. economic 

competitiveness, and enhance 

international cooperation and security. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim 

Freeman, Advisory Committee 

Management Officer for the Department 

of Defense, 703–692–5952. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Board, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1903(d) 

and consistent with Charter 37 of Title 

50 U.S.C. shall perform the following 

functions: 

a. Develop criteria for awarding 

scholarships, fellowships, and grants, 

including an order of priority in such 

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 

students have a demonstrated 

commitment to the study of the 

discipline for which the scholarship or 

fellowship is to be awarded. 

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 

in which U.S. students are deficient in 

learning and are, therefore, critical areas 

within those disciplines for the 

purposes of that section; 

iii. Which areas within the disciplines 

described in 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(C) are 

areas in which U.S. students, educators, 

and Government employees are 

deficient in learning and in which 

insubstantial numbers of U.S. 

institutions of higher education provide 

training and are, therefore, critical areas 

within those disciplines for the 

purposes of that section; 

iv. How students desiring 

scholarships or fellowships can be 

encouraged to work for an agency or 

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). 

e. Encourage application for 

fellowships from graduate students 

having an educational background in 

any academic discipline, particularly in 

the area of science or technology. 

f. Provide the Secretary of Defense 

biennially with a list of scholarship 

recipients and fellowship recipients, 

including an assessment of their foreign 

area and language skills, who are 

available to work in a national security 

position. 

g. Not later than 30 days after a 

scholarship or fellowship recipient 

completes the study or education for 

which assistance was provided under 

the program, provide the Secretary of 

Defense with a report fully describing 

the foreign area and language skills 

obtained by the recipient as a result of 

the assistance. 

h. Review the administration of the 

National Security Scholarships, 

Fellowships, and Grants Program. 

The Board shall report to the 

Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of 

Defense, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1906, 

shall submit to the President and to the 

congressional intelligence committees 

an annual report of the conduct of the 

National Security Scholarships, 

Fellowships and Grants Program, which 

contains, at a minimum, the contents 

outlined in 50 U.S.C. 1906(b). In 

preparation of this annual report, the 

Secretary of Defense shall consult with 

the members of the Board, who shall 

each submit to the Secretary, as a
