12:30 p.m. period if time allows, or else

26920 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 97 / Friday, May 19, 1995 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA

will hold this regular, quarterly meeting

to answer questions from the public and

the regulated industries regarding the

agency’s safety performance standards,

safety assurance and other programs.

Since the agency is holding a separate

meeting on its research and

development programs, any questions

on those issues will only be answered

at the afternoon meeting to be held on

June 27, 1995 and should be submitted

to the Research and Development

Office. However, questions on aspects of

the agency’s research and development

activities that relate to ongoing

regulatory actions should be submitted,

as in the past, to the agency’s Safety

Performance Standards Office.

The motor vehicle regulatory reform

meeting is a follow-up to NHTSA’s

March 29, 1995 meeting on regulatory

reform held in conjunction with the

agency’s previous quarterly technical

meeting, and to the agency’s April 4,

1995 meeting in Washington, D.C., at

which NHTSA sought information from

the public on regulatory reform actions

the agency should take related to its

motor vehicle regulations. These were

in conjunction with President Clinton’s

call for a new approach to the way

Government regulates the private sector,

and his request that Executive Branch

agencies report to him by June 1, 1995

on ways to improve the regulatory

process. To follow the President’s

expected announcement of the results of

this initiative, NHTSA will discuss how

the agency has handled the public

comments and the anticipated next

actions to implement its motor vehicle

regulatory reform decisions.

The regular, quarterly, meeting to be

held on June 28th will be at the Ramada

Inn near the Detroit Metro Airport, 8270

Wickham Road, Romulus, MI 48174.

The purpose of this meeting is to focus

on those phases of NHTSA activities

which are technical, interpretative or

procedural in nature. A transcript will

be available for public inspection in the

NHTSA Technical Reference Section in

Washington, DC, within four weeks after

the meeting. Copies of the transcript

will then be available at ten cents a page

(length has varied from 100 to 150

pages) upon request to NHTSA

Technical Reference Section, Room

5108, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20590. The Technical

Reference Section is open to the public

from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

NHTSA will provide auxiliary aids to

participants as necessary, during the

NHTSA Technical Industry Meeting,

NHTSA Regulatory Reform Meeting,

and the NHTSA Industry Research and

Development Meeting. Any person

desiring assistance of ‘‘auxiliary aids’’

(e.g., sign-language interpreter,

telecommunications devices for deaf

persons (TDDs), readers, taped texts,

brailled materials, or large print

materials and/or a magnifying device),

UNITED STATES INFORMATION

AGENCY

Administration of the 1996 U.S. Based

Training Program for Overseas

Educational Advisers

ACTION: Notice—request for proposals.

SUMMARY: The Advising and Student

Services Branch of the United States

Information Agency’s Bureau of

Educational and Cultural Affairs

announces an open competition for an

assistance award. The proposal, which

can be submitted by public and private

non-profit organizations meeting the

provisions described in IRS regulation

26 CFR 1.501(C)(3)–1, should describe

the design of two training programs for

USIA-affiliated mid-level overseas

educational advisers to be held in late

spring and fall of 1996. The training

programs’ objectives are to strengthen

and develop the skills of more

experienced overseas educational

advisers so that they can train beginning

advisers and advance the field of

educational advising in their home

countries. A successful training program

should provide in-depth exposure to the

mechanics of international study on a

U.S. university campus (admissions and

international office), advances in

technology (internet), and outreach

strategies, (fundraising and management

of volunteers). Each session should last

three weeks, with a beginning week in

Washington, DC or other suitable city

for workshops, research opportunities

and discussions; a one-week to ten-day

internship at a U.S. college or university

campus for an in-depth exposure to

international student admission and

advising; and approximately one week

or less at either the National NAFSA:

Association of International Educators

Conference in late May or one of the

regional NAFSA conferences in the fall.

Further clarification is provided in the

application package. USIA anticipates

awarding up to $205,000 to one

organization to administer this program.

Background and Program Rationale

The presence of international students

and scholars on U.S. campuses

contributes significantly to the academic

quality and financial well-being of

American higher education. In

recognition of this, The United States

Information Agency, maintains a

network of educational advising centers

overseas where objective information

about study options and the application

process to U.S. higher education is

available to all prospective students,

scholars, parents, governments

ministries, and other interested

individuals. These centers are staffed by

educational advisers who must stay up

to date with current trends in U.S.

higher education, as well as remain

knowledgeable about developments in

technology, materials available, and

management skills relevant to running

busy centers.

Program Participants

USIA will select participants for the

training sessions from the corps of

educational advisers who are part of the

network of USIA-affiliated advising

centers overseas and who, based on

seniority and previous job experience,

are considered ‘‘mid-level’’ advisers. For

the purposes of this RFP, mid-level

advisers are defined as those who have

mastered the following skills: (1)

Knowledge of the U.S. and home

country educational systems; (2)

familiarity with the application process

for U.S. higher education and training;

(3) skills in advising and cross-cultural

communication skills; (4) a basic

understanding of the management

theories and practices as they relate to

educational advising.

Training Program Format

The training program is intended for

two separate groups of ten participants

each and should contain sessions in

Washington DC or other suitable city, an

internship or other form of meaningful

professional visit at a U.S. academic

institution(s), and active attendance, to

include at least one presentation, at

either the national NAFSA: Association

of International Educators conference or

one of its regional fall conferences.

The separate training programs

should resemble each other in structure

but have a different focus, thereby

taking advantage of opportunities

available at different times of the year.

For instance, the spring session might

concentrate on cultural adjustment (predeparture/re-entry issues) faced by
