This Notice also lists the following

information:

Title of Proposal: Survey of Housing

Conditions of Migrant and Seasonal

Farmworkers

OMB Control Number: Description of

the need for the information and

proposed use: The Survey of Housing

Conditions of Migrant and Seasonal

Farmworkers collects data on the

housing conditions of farmworkers

along the east coast migrant stream

including types of structures occupied,

proportion of households crowded,

proportion households cost burdened,

proportion lacking full appliances and

sanitary facilities, proportion residing in

grower-provided housing, and other

characteristics. Very little is known

about the housing conditions of migrant

and seasonal farmworkers. Only a few

national studies have addressed the

needs of the farmworkers, and most

have not collected information

pertaining to housing conditions. The

only major study focusing on

farmworker housing conditions was the

national Farmworker Housing Study

prepared in 1980; this study was never

published. Housing developers and

others who provide housing to this

population are hampered in serving

them by this lack of information.

Agency Form Numbers:

Members of affected public: Migrant

farmworkers, rural housing developers,

and government agencies

Estimation of the total numbers of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: Number of

respondents: 3,000; Estimate Responses

per Respondent: 18; Time per

respondent: 15 minutes; Total hours to

respond: 750.

Respondents’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Pending OMB approval.

Authority: Title 42 U.S.C. 5424 note, Title

13 U.S.C. sec. 8(b), and Title 12, U.S.C., sec.

1701z–1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HSI–

WSP is administered by the Office of

University Partnerships under the

Assistant Secretary for Policy

of University Partnerships administers

HUD’s ongoing grant programs to

institutions of higher education and

creates initiatives through which

colleges and universities can bring their

traditional missions of teaching,

research, service, and outreach to bear

on the pressing local problems in their

communities.

The HSI–WSP was created through an

earmark of funds appropriated for the

Community Development Work Study

Program in the Conference Report, H.

Rep. 104–384, dated December 6, 1995,

which accompanied ‘‘The Departments

of Veterans Affairs and Housing and

are private and public non-profit

Hispanic-serving community colleges

having qualifying academic degrees.

Each participating institution of higher

education can be funded for a minimum

of three and a maximum of ten students.

The HSI–WSP provides each

participating student up to $12,200 per

year for a work stipend (for internshiptype work in community building) and

tuition and additional support (for

books and other expenses related to the

academic program). Additionally, the

HSI–WSP provides the participating

institution of higher education with an

administrative allowance of $1,000 per

student per year. On October 2, 1996 (61

FR 51566), HUD published a Notice of

Funding Availability (NOFA)

announcing the availability of $3

Hispanic-serving Institutions Work

Study Program. The Department

reviewed, evaluated and scored the

Advisory Group Charter—Exxon Valdez

Oil Spill.

SUMMARY: This notice is published in

accordance with 41 CFR Part 101–6,

section 101–6.1015(a), Committee

establishment, reestablishment, or

renewal.

Following the recommendation and

approval of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill

Trustee Council, the Secretary of the

Valdez Oil Spill Public Advisory Group

Charter to continue for two years, to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

24, 1989, the T/V Exxon Valdez ran

aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William

Sound in Alaska spilling approximately

11 million gallons of North Slope crude

oil. Oil moved into the Gulf of Alaska,

along the Kenai coast to Kodiak Island

and the Alaska Peninsula—some 600

miles from Bligh Reef. Massive clean-up

and containment efforts were initiated

and continue to 1992. On October 8,

1991, an agreement was approved by the

United States District Court for the

District of Alaska that settled claims of

the United States and the State of

Alaska against the Exxon Corporation

and the Exxon Shipping Company for

various criminal and civil violations.

Under the civil settlement, Exxon

companies agreed to pay to the

governments $900 million over a period

of 10 years.

The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee

Council was established to manage the

funds obtained from the civil settlement

of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. The

Trustee Council is composed of three

State of Alaska trustees (Attorney

General; Commissioner, Department of

Environmental Conservation; and

Commissioner, Department of Fish and

Game) and three Federal representatives

appointed by the Federal Trustees

(Secretary, U.S. Department of

Agriculture; the Administrator of the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration; and the Secretary, U.S.

Department of the Interior).

The Public Advisory Group was

created by Paragraph V.A.4 of the

Memorandum of Agreement and

Consent Decree entered into by the

United States of America and the State

of Alaska on August 27, 1991 and

approved by the United States District

Court for the District of Alaska in

settlement of United States of America

v. State of Alaska, Civil Action No.

A91–081 CV. The Public Advisory

Group was chartered by the Secretary of

the Interior on October 23, 1992 and

functions solely as an advisory body,

and in compliance with the provisions

of the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(5 U.S.C. App. (1988).

The Public Advisory Group was

established to advise the Trustee

Council, and began functioning in

October 1992. The Public Advisory
