Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 14 /Thursday, January 22, 1998 / Notices 3313

a. Modified Authorized Plan w/o Groins

This alternative would involve

widening the beaches along the project

area to a minimum of 100 ft with an

elevation of +11 ft NGVD, and raising

the dunes to an elevation of +20 ft

NGVD, with a minimum dune crest

width of 25 ft. Certain very low zones

of the project area will have a berm

elevation of +13 ft NGVD. The proposed

dune slopes are 1V:5H, and the design

berm slopes are to be 1V:15H to Mean

Low Water (MLW), and 1V:30H below

MLW.

b. Beach Nourishment (Option A)—Fill

in Wilderness Area

This alternative consists of beachfill

with a minimum berm width of 90 feet

(ft) at elevation +9.5 ft NGVD, and a

minimum 25-ft wide dune at elevation

+15 ft NGVD. Proposed dune and berm

slopes are 1V:5H to MLW, and 1V:30H

below MLW. Different specifications

would be required between Kismet and

Point O’Woods and in the Federal

Wilderness Area. The berm and dune

elevations from Kismet to Point

O’Woods would be increased to +11.5 ft.

NGVD and +18 ft NGVD, respectively.

These increased elevations would be

required to provide a 44-year level of

protection due to extremely low

elevations north of the dune in these

areas.

c. Beach Nourishment (Option B)—

Feeder Beach w/Stockpile at Smith

Point

This alternative would require the use

of a feeder beach and stockpiling sand

at Smith Point County Park. While

offering some protection, these

measures are not likely to provide a 44-

year level of protection.

On page 63135, column 1, last

paragraph, Section 4(b), revised the first

two sentences to read:

A scoping meeting was held on

December 4, 1997 at the Holiday Inn

Macarthur Airport, Ronkonkoma. If

more public meetings are found to be

needed, public notices shall be issued at

a later date containing the dates, times

and places of the scoping meetings.

On page 63135, column 1, end of the

last paragraph, Section 4(b), add the

following sentence:

The scoping period has been extended

to 30 days from the date of this notice’s

appearance in the Federal Register.

Applications for Approval of the

Following Projects Pursuant to Article

10.3, Article 11 and/or Section 3.8 of

the Compact

1. Portland Borough Authority D–97–

29 CP

An application for approval of a

ground water withdrawal project to

supply up to 5.18 million gallons (mg)/

30 days of water to the applicant’s

distribution system from new Well No.

3, and to increase the existing

withdrawal limit from all wells to 5.7

mg/30 days. The project is located in

Upper Mount Bethel Township,

Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

2. Pennsylvania Power & Light Company

D–97–37

A project to construct two 12-kilowatt

aerial power line crossings: one on a

reach of the Schuylkill River and one on

a reach of the Little Schuylkill River

near their confluence. Both crossings are

on reaches of the rivers designated as

Scenic Rivers by the Pennsylvania
3314 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 14 /Thursday, January 22, 1998 / Notices

Department of Conservation and Natural

Resources and included in the DRBC

Comprehensive Plan. The proposed

power line will provide service to an

existing commercial enterprise in Port

Clinton, Schuylkill County,

Pennsylvania. The line will cross on

poles located near two bridges; one just

upstream of a railroad bridge over the

Schuylkill River between Tilden

Township, Berks County and Port

Clinton Borough, Schuylkill County,

and one at the Broad Street Bridge over

the Little Schuylkill River in Port

Clinton Borough.

3. Glen Mills Schools D–97–39

A surface water withdrawal project to

provide a monthly average of 367,000

gallons per day (gpd) (11 mg/30 days)

for irrigation of the proposed 18-hole

Golf Course at Glen Mills located in

Thornbury Township, Delaware County,

Pennsylvania. The applicant proposes to

withdraw water from Chester Creek and,

if needed to supplement flow, from two

existing on-site wells (averaging less

than 100,000 gpd).

4. American Cyanamid Company D–

97–41

A project to upgrade an existing

120,000 gpd average monthly capacity

industrial wastewater treatment plant

(IWTP) located at the applicant’s

Agricultural Research Division facilities

at U.S. Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road

in West Windsor Township, Mercer

County, New Jersey. The IWTP will

continue to provide secondary

biological treatment utilizing an

extended aeration activated sludge

process. Tertiary filtration will be

provided as well as ultraviolet

disinfection prior to discharge via an

aeration cascade to an unnamed

tributary of the Assunpink Creek. The

applicant’s facilities are located on

property that straddles the Delaware

River Basin divide and a major portion

of the applicant’s water source is

obtained from wells located outside the

Delaware River Basin. However, the

applicant proposes a high overall BOD

removal rate (98 percent) that will offset

the imported load.

5. City of Bethlehem Authority D–97–

47 CP

A proposed temporary emergency

surface water withdrawal project that

entails installation of an intake structure

in the Beltzville Reservoir, just

downstream of the confluence of

Pohopoco Creek with the Reservoir’s

backwater, in Towamensing Township,

Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The

withdrawal is planned to provide an

average of 15 million gallons per day

during a three-year period while the

applicant’s Penn Forest Dam is

undergoing reconstruction and refilling.

The applicant’s distribution system

serves the City of Bethlehem and 11

other municipalities in its vicinity, in

both Lehigh and Northampton Counties.

Documents relating to these items may

be examined at the Commission’s

offices. Preliminary dockets are

available in single copies upon request.

Please contact Thomas L. Brand at (609)

883–9500 ext. 221 concerning docketrelated questions. Persons wishing to

testify at this hearing are requested to

register with the Secretary at (609) 883–

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

National Awards Program for Model

Professional Development; Notice of

New Application Deadline for Certain

Applicants for Fiscal Year (FY) 1998

SUMMARY: The Secretary establishes a

new deadline for the submission of

applications under the National Awards

Program for Model Professional

Development for FY 1998 by those

schools and school districts in areas of

Maine, New Hampshire, New York and

Vermont that the President or the

governors of those States have declared

disaster areas because of the severe ice

storms that occurred during the week of

January 5, 1998, as well as to schools

and the school district on the Island of

Guam.

NEW DEADLINE FOR TRANSMITTAL OF

APPLICATIONS: The new deadline for the

Department’s receipt of applications

from these schools and school districts

is January 26, 1998. In addition, the

Secretary will consider, on a case-bycase basis, a written request received by

January 26, 1998, for a further extension

of the application deadline for any

school or school district in these

affected areas that confirm an inability

to meet this new application deadline

because of continued storm-related

disruptions.

SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS OR EXTENSION

REQUESTS: Application to the National

Awards Program or written requests for

an extension of the application deadline

beyond January 26, 1998, must be sent

to Sharon Horn, Office of Educational

Research and Improvement, U.S.

Department of Education, 555 New

Jersey Avenue, NW., Room 506E,

Washington, DC 20208–5644.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 30, 1997, the Secretary

announced in the Fedeal Register (62

FR 58874) the National Awards Program

For Model Professional Development for

FY 1998. This program recognizes a

variety of schools and school districts

with model professional development

activities in the pre-kindergarten

through twelfth grade levels that have

led to increases in student achievement.

The notice inviting applications for the

program (62 FR 58874), which

accompanied the notice of eligibility

and selection criteria for the program,

identified the deadline for transmittal of

applications as January 15, 1998. During

the week of January 5, 1998, portions of

the States of Maine, New Hampshire,

New York and Vermont experienced

extraordinarily severe ice storms that

extinguished electric service and caused

major disruptions to school

communities in these areas. In addition,

the Secretary has learned that the school

community on the Island of Guam is

only now reopening on a part-time basis

as a result of a severe typhoon that

struck, the island on December 16, 1997.

The Secretary is concerned that

because of these circumstances schools

and school districts in these affected

areas that wish to apply for recognition

under the National Awards Program

may be prevented from doing so by the

previously announced application

deadline. For this reason, the Secretary

extends the deadline for transmittal of

applications under the National Awards

Program until January 26, 1998, for

those schools and school districts in the

States of Maine, New Hampshire, New

York and Vermont that the President or
