U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law: Study Group on Consumer 

Protection 

One of the goals of the Organization 

of American States is to harmonize 

private international law through InterAmerican Specialized Conferences on 

Private International Law (CIDIP). The 

OAS has hosted these conferences every 

four to six years. Currently states are 

drafting instruments for ‘‘CIDIP–VII,’’

which will focus inter alia on consumer 

protection. States are currently 

reviewing a draft Brazilian treaty on 

choice of law, a Canadian draft model 

law on choice of law and jurisdiction, 

and a U.S. proposal for a model law on 

the availability of consumer dispute 

resolution and redress. OAS member 

states discussed the three proposals at 

an initial meeting held in Porto Alegre, 

Brazil in December. No dates have been 

set for future meetings, but the views of 

participating states have been requested. 

The Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International Law 

(ACPIL) will hold a public meeting to 

review the results of the Porto Alegre 

meeting and to obtain views on the 

three proposals with regard to consumer 

protection.

are unable to attend the public meeting 

and you would like to participate by 

teleconferencing, please contact Trisha 

Smeltzer to receive the conference call 

in number and the relevant materials. .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Education and Training 

Program. 

Background: The Education and 

Training Program is comprised of two 

programs, the Eisenhower 

Transportation Fellowship and the 

National Highway Institute (NHI). The 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

is currently authorized by Public Law 

109–59, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users of 2005 (SAFETEA–

LU). The purpose of the fellowship is to 

advance transportation education and 

research, and attract qualified students 

to the field of transportation. The 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

allows for the collection and analysis of 

vital program information from student 

transportation education programs, also 

serving as a management tool to 

measure program performance and 

evaluate effectiveness in meeting federal 

intent and workforce development 

common goals and objectives. An 

application form is used to collect basic 

information from the student to 

determine eligibility and qualifications 

for fellowship. The NHI is authorized 

under Section 5204 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
10812 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users of 2005 (SAFETEA–LU) which 

calls for the development and delivery 

of courses for the transportation 

community and requires the 

involvement and satisfaction 

measurement of transportation partners. 

One vital component involved in 

reaching those goals is providing 

training pertaining to highway 

activities, making sure that 

professionals and members of the public 

have access to the best, most accurate 

information. Towards this goal, the NHI 

develops and implements applicable 

training programs. To manage this 

increasingly complex task and to make 

the training process more accessible and 

useful, NHI is currently planning an 

automated online training management 

tool—the NHI Web Portal. The training 

evaluation and registration forms collect 

basic participant data for recordkeeping 

and basic course and instructor 

evaluation information for customer 

feedback about what NHI is doing well 

and what we need to improve. 

Respondents: Approximately 200 

students submit applications for the 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

and approximately 20,000 students for 

the NHI. 

Frequency: The Eisenhower 

Transportation Fellowship frequency is 

annually. The NHI is by learning 

session. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated burden to 

complete the application for the 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

is 3 hours. The estimated burden to 

complete each training evaluation and 

registration for the NHI form is 3 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 1,600 hours 

annually. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.
