Request for Certification of 

Compliance—Rural Industrialization 

Loan and Grant Program 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration is issuing this

concerning this notice to Anthony D. 

Dais, U.S. Department of Labor, 

Employment and Training 

Administration, 200 Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Room S–4231, 

Washington, DC 20210; or e-mail 

Dais.Anthony@dol.gov; or transmit via 

fax (202) 693–3015 (this is not a toll-free

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act of 1972, as established 

under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

to make or guarantee loans or grants to 

finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture 

that the assistance is not calculated, or 

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from 

one area to another by the loan 

applicant’s business operation; or, (b) 

An increase in the production of goods, 

materials, services, or facilities in an 

area where there is not sufficient 

demand to employ the efficient capacity 

of existing competitive enterprises 

unless the financial assistance will not 

have an adverse impact on existing 

competitive enterprises in the area. The 

Employment and Training 

Administration within the Department 

of Labor is responsible for the review 

and certification process. Comments 

should address the two bases for 

certification and, if possible, provide 

data to assist in the analysis of these 

issues. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of 

August 2010. 

Jane Oates, 

Assistant Secretary for Employment and 

Training.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Notice of Availability of a Draft SiteSpecific Environmental Assessment 

and Notice of Public Hearings 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice of the availability of a 

Draft Site-Specific Environmental 

Assessment (Draft SSEA) for the Ocean 

Observatories Initiative (OOI), request 

for public comment on the Draft SSEA, 

and notice of public hearings. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) gives notice of the 

availability of the Draft SSEA for the 

OOI, and requests public review and 

comment on the document. NSF also 

provides notice of public hearings on 

the Draft SSEA for the OOI. The 

Division of Ocean Sciences in the 

Directorate for Geosciences (GEO/OCE) 

has prepared a Draft SSEA for the OOI, 

a multi-million dollar Major Research 

Equipment and Facilities Construction 

effort intended to put moored and cable 

infrastructure in discrete locations in 

the coastal and global ocean. The Draft 

SSEA has been prepared to assess the 

potential impacts on the human and 

natural environment associated with 

proposed site-specific requirements in 

the design, installation, and operation of 

the OOI that were previously assessed 

in a 2008 Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment (PEA) and a 2009 

Supplemental Environmental Report 

(SER). The scope of the environmental 

impact analysis of the SSEA is tiered 

from the previously prepared PEA, 

associated Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI), and SER. It focuses 

only on those activities and the 

associated potential impacts, including 

cumulative impacts, resulting from the 

site-specific installation and operation 

of OOI assets and not previously 

assessed in the PEA and SER. The Draft 

SSEA is available for public comment 

for a 30-day period. Comments may be 

mailed to Jean McGovern, National 

Science Foundation, Division of Ocean 

Sciences, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, 

VA 22230, or submitted via e-mail at 

nepacomments@nsf.gov. The deadline 

for submitting comments is September 

15, 2010. 

NSF will conduct three public 

hearings to receive oral and written 

comments on the Draft SSEA. Federal, 

state, and local agencies, Native 

American Tribes and Nations, and 

interested individuals are invited to be 

present or represented at the public 

hearings. This notice announces the 

dates and locations of the public 

hearings for this Draft SSEA. An open 

house session will precede the 

scheduled public hearing at each of the 

locations listed below and will allow 

individuals to review the information 

presented in the Draft SSEA. NSF 

representatives will be available during 

the open house sessions to clarify 

information related to the Draft SSEA. 

Dates and Addresses: All hearings 

will start with an open house session 

from X p.m. to X p.m. A presentation 

and formal public comment period will 

be held from X p.m. to X p.m. Public 

hearings will be held on the following 

dates and at the following locations: 

• Wednesday, September 1, 2010, at 

Westport Maritime Museum, Westport, 

WA. 

• Thursday, September 2, 2010, at 

Guin Library Seminar Room, Hatfield 

Marine Science Center, Newport, OR. 

• Wednesday, September 8, 2010, at 

New Bedford Library, 613 Pleasant 

Street, New Bedford, MA 02740–6203. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the Draft SSEA are available 

upon request from: Jean McGovern, 

NSF, Division of Ocean Sciences, 4201 

Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230; 

Telephone: (703) 292–7591. The Draft 

SSEA is also available at the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Oceanographic research has long relied 

on research vessel cruises (expeditions) 

as the predominate means to make 

direct measurements of the ocean. 

Remote sensing (use of satellites) has 

greatly advanced abilities to measure 

ocean surface characteristics over 

extended periods of time. A major 

advancement for oceanographic 

research methods is the ability to make 

sustained, long-term, and adaptive 

measurements from the surface to the 

ocean bottom. ‘‘Ocean Observatories’’ are 

now being developed to further this 

goal. Building upon recent technology 

advances and lessons learned from 

prototype ocean observatories, NSF’s 

Ocean Sciences Division (OCE) is 

proposing to fund the OOI, an 

interactive, globally distributed and 

integrated infrastructure that will be the 

backbone for the next generation of 

ocean sensors and resulting complex 

ocean studies presently unachievable. 

The OOI reflects a community-wide, 

national and international scientific 

planning effort and is a key NSF 

contribution to the broader effort to 

establish focused national ocean 

observatory capabilities through the 

Integrated Ocean Observing System 

(IOOS). 

The OOI infrastructure would include 

cables, buoys, deployment platforms, 

moorings, junction boxes, electric power 

generation (solar, wind, and/or fuel 

cell,), and two-way communications 

systems. This large-scale infrastructure 

would support sensors located at the sea 

surface, in the water column, and at or 

beneath the seafloor. The OOI would 

also support related elements, such as 

unified project management, data 

dissemination and archiving, modeling 

of oceanographic processes, and 

education and outreach activities 

essential to the long-term success of 

ocean science. It would include the first 

U.S. multi-node cabled observatory; 

fixed and re-locatable coastal arrays 

coupled with mobile assets; and 

advanced buoys for interdisciplinary 

measurements, especially for data 

limited areas of the Southern Ocean and 

other high-latitude locations. 

The OOI design is based upon three 

main technical elements across global, 

regional, and coastal scales. At the 

global and coastal scales, moorings 

would provide locally generated power 

to seafloor and platform instruments 

and sensors and use a satellite link to 

shore and the Internet. Up to four Global 

Scale Nodes (GSN) or buoy sites are 

proposed for ocean sensing in the
