seq.), and the Regulations Governing the

Taking and Importing of Marine

Mammals (50 CFR part 216).

The applicant requests authorization

to import one female, adult killer whale

(Orcinus orca), identified as ‘‘Bjossa’’,

from the Vancouver Aquarium Marine

Science Center; British Columbia,

Canada to the Sea World facility in San

Diego, California. The applicant

requests this import for the purpose of

public display. The receiving facility,

Sea World San Diego, 1720 South

regularly scheduled basis with access

that is not limited or restricted other

the AZA and the Alliance for Marine

that the proposed activity is humane

and does not represent any unnecessary

risks to the health and welfare of marine

mammals; that the proposed activity by

itself or in combination with other

activities, will not likely have a

significant adverse impact on the

species or stock; and that the applicant’s

expertise, facilities and resources are

adequate to accomplish successfully the

objectives and activities stated in the

application.

In compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial

determination has been made that the

activity proposed is categorically

excluded from the requirement to

prepare an environmental assessment or

environmental impact statement.

Concurrent with the publication of

this notice in the Federal Register,

NMFS is forwarding copies of this

application to the Marine Mammal

Commission and its Committee of

Scientific Advisors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

This information collection complies

with Section 6002 of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

(42 U.S.C. 6962). RCRA requires the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

to designate items which are or can be

produced with recovered materials.

RCRA further requires agencies to

develop affirmative procurement

programs to ensure that items composed

of recovered materials will be purchased

to the maximum extent practicable.

Affirmative procurement programs

required under RCRA must contain, as

a minimum (1) a recovered materials

preference program and an agency

promotion program for the preference

program; (2) a program for requiring

estimates of the total percentage of

recovered materials used in the

performance of a contract, certification

of minimum recovered material content

actually used, where appropriate, and

75926 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 5, 2000 / Notices

reasonable verification procedures for

estimates and certifications; and (3)

annual review and monitoring of the

effectiveness of an agency’s affirmative

procurement program.

The items for which EPA has

designated minimum recovered material

content standards are (1) construction

products, (2) paper and paper products,

(3) vehicular products, (4) landscaping

products, (5) nonpaper office products,

(6) park and recreation products, (7)

transportation products, and (8)

miscellaneous products. The FAR rule

also permits agencies to obtain preaward information from offerors

regarding the content of items which the

agency has designated as requiring

minimum percentages of recovered

materials. A complete list of EPA

designated items is available at http://

www.epa.gov/cpg.

In accordance with RCRA, the

information collection applies to

acquisitions requiring minimum

percentages of recovered materials,

when the price of the item exceeds

$10,000 or when the aggregate amount

paid for the item or functionally

equivalent items in the preceding fiscal

year was $10,000 or more.

Contracting officers use the

information to verify offeror/contractor

compliance with solicitation and

contract requirements regarding the use

of recovered materials. Additionally,

agencies use the information in the

annual review and monitoring of the

effectiveness of the affirmative

procurement programs required by

RCRA.
