(NAD) to review the accuracy of our 

finding that the decision cannot be 

appealed. The appeal must be in writing 

and filed at the appropriate Regional 

Office, which can be found at http:// 

www.nad.usda.gov/offices.htm or by 

calling (703) 305–1166. 

D. Applicants selected for funding 

will complete a grant agreement, which 

outlines the terms and conditions of the 

grant award. 

E. Grantees will be reimbursed as 

follows: 

1. SF–270, ‘‘Request for Advance or 

Reimbursement,’’ will be completed by 

the grantee and submitted to either the 

State or National Office not more 

frequently than monthly. 

2. Upon receipt of a properly 

completed SF–270, the funds will be 

requested through the field office 

terminal system. Ordinarily, payment 

will be made within 30 days after 

receipt of a proper request for 

reimbursement. 

3. Grantees are encouraged to use 

women- and minority-owned banks (a 

bank which is owned at least 50 percent 

by women or minority group members) 

for the deposit and disbursement of 

funds. 

F. Any change in the scope of the 

project, budget adjustments of more 

than 10 percent of the total budget, or 

any other significant change in the 

project must be reported to and 

approved by the approval official by 

written amendment to the grant 

agreement. Any change not approved 

may be cause for termination of the 

grant. 

G. Grantees shall constantly monitor 

performance to ensure that time 

schedules are being met, projected work 

by time periods is being accomplished, 

and other performance objectives are 

being achieved. The Grantee will 

provide project reports as follows: 

1. SF–269, ‘‘Financial Status Report 

(short form),’’ and a project performance 

activity report will be required of all 

grantees on a quarterly basis, due 30 

days after the end of each quarter. 

2. A final project performance report 

will be required with the last SF–269 

due 90 days after the end of the last 

quarter in which the project is 

completed. The final report may serve 

as the last quarterly report. 

3. All multi-State grantees are to 

submit an original of each report to the 

National Office. Grantees serving only 

one State are to submit an original of 

each report to the State Office. The

detail, preferably in a narrative format, 

activities that have transpired for the 

specific time period. 

H. The grantee will provide an audit 

report or financial statements as follows: 

1. Grantees expending $500,000 or

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Licensing of Private RemoteSensing Space Systems. 

Form Number(s): None. 

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0174. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 552. 

Number of Respondents: 18. 

Average Hours Per Response: License 

application, 40 hours; executive 

summary, 2 hours; data protection plan, 

10 hours; submission of data collection 

restriction plan, 5 hours; submission of 

operational plans for restricting 

collection or dissemination of Israeli 

territory, 3 hours; submission of data 

flow diagrams, 3 hours; submission of 

satellite subsystem drawings, 2 hours;

specifications, 3 hours; notification of 

disposition/orbital debris change, 2 

hours; license amendment, 10 hours; 

foreign agreements notification 

(including investments), 2 hours; 

submission of preliminary design 

review, 2 hours; submission of critical 

design review, 2 hours; notification of 

binding launch service contract, 1 hour; 

notification of completion of pre-ship 

review, 1 hour; submission of 

information when spacecraft becomes 

operational, 2 hours; notification of the 

demise of a system or decision to 

discontinue system operations, 2 hours; 

notification of any operational 

deviation, 2 hours; notification for 

planned purges of information, 2 hours; 

operational quarterly reports, 3 hours; 

annual compliance audit, 8 hours; 

annual operational audit, 10 hours. 

Needs and Uses: The information is 

being collected in order to issue licenses 

and related amendments to operate 

space-based private remote-sensing 

systems, to review foreign agreements 

entered into by licensees, and to 

perform monitoring and compliance 

functions for licensed systems. The 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) has issued 

regulations for its licensing program 

under Title II of the Land RemoteSensing Policy Act of 1992, 15 U.S.C. 

5601 et seq. (1992 Act), the 1997 

National Defense Authorization Act 

section 1064, and the Commercial Space 

Act of 1998, 42 U.S.C. 70101 et seq. 

They facilitate the development of the 

U.S. commercial remote-sensing 

industry and thus promote the 

collection and widespread availability 

of Earth remote-sensing data while 

preserving essential U.S. national 

security and foreign policy interests. 

The amendment to the previous version 

of the regulations reflected 

improvements that take into account 

public comments received on the 

regulations. The amended regulations 

now allows NOAA to more effectively 

license Earth remote-sensing space 

systems and help to ensure their 

compliance with the requirements of the 

Act. The final regulations were 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 25, 2006. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Frequency: On occasion, quarterly 

and annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Action Affecting Export Privileges; Bill 

Chen, aka Yueqiang Chen; In the 

Matter of: Bill Chen, AKA Yueqiang 

Chen, Manager, Data Physics China, 

RM. 1509, Building 2, Xinquduan 

Jiayan, No. 5 Changchunquia Road, 

Haidian District, Beijing, P.R. China, 

100089 and 615 Blossom Hill Road,

Respondent: Order Temporarily 

Denying Export Privileges 

Pursuant to Section 766.24 of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(‘‘EAR’’),1 I hereby grant the Bureau of 

Industry and Security’s request for an 

Order Temporarily Denying the Export 

Privileges of Respondent, Bill Chen aka 

Yueqiang Chen, for 180 days as I find 

that the TDO is necessary in the public 

interest to prevent an imminent 

violation of the EAR. 

I. Legal Standard 

Pursuant to § 766.24(b) of the EAR, 

the Assistant Secretary may issue a TDO 

‘‘upon a showing by BIS that the order 

is necessary in the public interest to 

prevent an imminent violation of the 

* * * EAR.’’ ‘‘A violation may be 

‘imminent’ either in time or in degree of 

likelihood.’’ 15 CFR 766.24(b)(3). This 

includes a violation that ‘‘is about to 

occur, or that the general circumstances 

of the matter under investigation or case 

under criminal or administrative 

charges demonstrate a likelihood of 

future violations.’’ Id. Significant, 

deliberate, and covert violations are 

more probative of imminence and the 

likelihood of future violations than 

lesser technical ones. Id. A ‘‘lack of 

information establishing the precise 

time a violation may occur does not 

preclude a finding that a violation is 

imminent, so long as there is sufficient 

reason to believe the likelihood of a 

violation.’’ Id. 

II. Findings 

Respondent has been under a 

temporary denial order since May 12, 

2006 for his role in selling and shipping 

items subject to the EAR to end-users in 

China who are engaged in the design, 

development, production and use of 

cruise missile systems without the 

required export licenses. On May 24, 

2006, the Respondent was indicated by 

a federal grand in the Northern District 

of California for violating the EAR in 

connection with five unlicensed 

exports, occurring as early as January 

22, 2003 and as recently as July 3, 2005, 

to end-users in China knowing that such 

items would be used in the design, 

development, production, and use of 

missiles. On April 6, 2007, Mr. Chen 

submitted a declaration that he would 

assert his Fifth Amendment privilege 

against self incrimination in connection 

with any questions that would be raised 

during his deposition in a related 

administrative proceeding. Then, on 

April 30, 2007, a U.S. Magistrate Judge 

granted Respondent’s request to travel 

to China to visit ailing family members 

while the indictment is pending against 

him. Based upon this authorization, Mr. 

Chen has departed for China and is 

scheduled return in late May 2007. 

While Mr. Chen has been placed on 

administrative leave, he remains an 

employee of Data Physics. Additionally, 

BIS has submitted evidence to me that 

shows that Respondent has played a 

role in selling items subject to the EAR
