Comment and Recommendations; 

Nonproduction Questionnaire

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed.

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

January 18, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Justin 

Heung, 200 Constitution Avenue, C–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Sections 222, 223 and 249 of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, require 

the Secretary of Labor to issue a 

determination for groups of workers as 

to their eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA). After 

reviewing all of the information 

obtained for each petition for trade 

adjustment assistance filed with the 

Department, a determination is issued 

as to whether the statutory criteria for 

certification are met. 

The information collected in ETA 

Form 9118 is used by the Secretary to 

specifically determine whether 

petitioning worker groups that perform 

a service are related to production of 

articles. If worker groups are related to 

production of articles, the form will 

request contact information so that 

sufficient article production and sales 

data may be collected from the 

appropriate contact to assess whether 

the production that service workers 

support is adversely affected by trade, 

and to adequately assess whether the 

group eligibility requirements detailed 

in section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, 

as amended, have been met.

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, the Employment and 

Training Administration is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the Non-Production 

Questionnaire. 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office listed above in 

the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE 

CORPORATION 

[MCC FR 04–13] 

Report on the Selection of Eligible 

Countries for FY 2005

AGENCY: Millennium Challenge 

Corporation.

SUMMARY: Section 608(d) of the 

Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, Pub. 

L. 108–199 (Division D) requires the 

Millennium Challenge Corporation to 

publish a report that lists the countries 

determined by the Board of Directors of 

the Corporation to be eligible for 

assistance for Fiscal Year 2005. The 

Report is set forth below. 

Report: Report on the Selection of 

Eligible Countries for FY 2005. 

Summary 

This report is provided in accordance 

with Section 608(d) of the Millennium 

Challenge Act of 2003, 22 U.S.C.A. 

7707(d) (the ‘‘Act’’). 

The Act authorizes the provision of 

Millennium Challenge Account 

(‘‘MCA’’) assistance under section 605 

of the Act to countries that enter into 

compacts with the United States to 

support policies and programs that 

advance the prospects of such countries 

to achieve lasting poverty reduction and 

economic growth. The Act requires the 

Millennium Challenge Corporation 

(‘‘MCC’’) to take a number of steps to 

determine the countries that, based on 

their demonstrated commitment to just 

and democratic governance, economic 

freedom and investing in their people, 

will be eligible to receive MCA 

assistance during a fiscal year. These 

steps include the submission of reports 

to appropriate congressional committees 

and the publication of notices in the 

Federal Register that identify: 

1. The ‘‘candidate countries’’ for MCA 

assistance in a fiscal year (Section 

608(a) of the Act); 

2. The eligibility criteria and 

methodology that the MCC Board of 

Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) will use to select 

‘‘eligible countries’’ from among the 

‘‘candidate countries’’ (Section 608(b) of 

the Act); and 

3. The countries determined by the 

Board to be ‘‘eligible countries’’ for a 

fiscal year, the countries on the list of 

eligible countries with which the Board 

will seek to enter into MCA ‘‘Compacts’’

and a justification for such decisions 

(Section 608(d) of the Act). 

This is the third of the abovedescribed reports for FY 2005. It 

identifies countries determined by the 

Board to be eligible for MCA assistance 

in FY 2005 under section 605 of the Act 

and those that the Board will seek to 

enter into MCA Compacts under section 

609 of the Act, and the justification for 

such decisions.

Eligible Countries 

The MCC Board of Directors met on 

November 8, 2004, to select countries 

that will be eligible for FY 2005 MCA 

assistance under section 605 of the Act 

and will be invited to submit proposals 

for such assistance. The Board 

determined the following countries 

eligible for FY 2005 assistance: 

Armenia, Benin, Bolivia, Georgia, 

Ghana, Honduras, Lesotho, Madagascar, 

Mali, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, 

Nicaragua, Senegal, Sri Lanka, and 

Vanuatu. 

In accordance with the Act and with 

MCC’s ‘‘Criteria and Methodology for 

Determining the Eligibility of Candidate 

Countries for Millennium Challenge 

Account Assistance in FY 2005,’’

submitted to the Congress on August 31,
