Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 8, 2001 / Notices 23273

Does This Extension Allow Nationals of

Nicaragua (or Aliens Having No

Nationality Who Last Habitually

Resided in Nicaragua) Who Entered the

United States after December 30, 1998,

to File for TPS?

No. This is a notice of an extension of

the TPS designation for Nicaragua, not

a notice of re-designation for Nicaragua

for TPS. An extension of TPS does not

change the required dates of continuous

residence and continuous physical

presence in the United States and does

not expand TPS availability to include

nationals of Nicaragua (or aliens having

no nationality who last habitually

resided in Nicaragua) who arrived in the

United States after the required dates for

continuous physical presence, January

5, 1999, and continuous residence,

December 30, 1998.

Is Late Initial Registration Possible?

Yes. In addition to timely reregistration, late initial registration is

possible for some persons from

Nicaragua under 8 CFR 244.2(f)(2). To

apply for late initial registration an

applicant must:

(1) be a national of Nicaragua (or an

alien who has no nationality and who

last habitually resided in Nicaragua);

(2) have been continuously physically

present in the United States since

January 5, 1999;

(3) have continuously resided in the

United States since December 30, 1998;

and,

(4) be admissible as an immigrant,

except as otherwise provided under

section 244(c)(2)(A) of the Act, and not

ineligible under section 244(c)(2)(B) of

the Act.

Additionally, the applicant must be

able to demonstrate that, during the

registration period from January 5, 1999,

through July 5, 2000, he or she:

(1) was a nonimmigrant or had been

granted voluntary departure status or

any relief from removal,

(2) had an application for change of

status, adjustment of status, asylum,

voluntary departure, or any relief from

removal pending or subject to further

review or appeal,

(3) was a parolee or had a pending

request for reparole, or

(4) was the spouse or child of an alien

currently eligible to be a TPS registrant.

8 CFR 244.2(f)(2).

An applicant for late initial

registration must register no later than

sixty (60) days from the expiration or

termination of the conditions described

above. 8 CFR 244.2(g).

Notice of Extension of Designation of

Nicaragua Under the TPS Program

By the authority vested in me as

Attorney General under sections

244(b)(1), (b)(3)(A), and (b)(3)(C) of the

Act, I have consulted with the

appropriate Government agencies

concerning whether the conditions

under which Nicaragua was designated

for TPS continue to exist. As a result, I

determine that the conditions for

designation of TPS for Nicaragua

continue to be met, specifically that the

damage from Hurricane Mitch persists

and Nicaragua remains temporarily

unable to handle adequately the return

of its nationals. 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(A).

Accordingly, I order as follows:

(1) The designation of Nicaragua

under section 244(b) of the Act is

extended for an additional 12-month

period from July 5, 2001, to July 5, 2002.

8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(C).

(2) I estimate that there are

approximately 5,300 nationals of

Nicaragua (or aliens who have no

nationality and who last habitually

resided in Nicaragua) who have been

granted TPS and who are eligible for reregistration.

(3) In order to be eligible for TPS

during the period from July 5, 2001, to

July 5, 2002, a national of Nicaragua (or

an alien who has no nationality and

who last habitually resided in

Nicaragua) who has already received a

grant of TPS under the Nicaragua TPS

designation or who is eligible to file

under the late filing provision of 8 CFR

244.2(f)(2) must register for TPS by

filing a new Application for Temporary

Protected Status, Form I–821, along

with an Application for Employment

Authorization, Form I–765, within the

90-day period beginning on May 8, 2001

and ending on August 6, 2001. Failure

to register without good cause will

result in the withdrawal of TPS. 8 CFR

244.17(c).

(4) At least 60 days before this

extension terminates on July 5, 2002,

the Attorney General will review the

designation of Nicaragua under the TPS

program and determine whether the

conditions for designation continue to

be met. 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(A). Notice

of that determination, including the

basis for the determination, will be

published in the Federal Register. 8

U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(A).

(5) Information concerning the

Nicaraguan TPS program will be

available at local Service offices upon

publication of this notice and on the

INS website at http://

www.ins.usdoj.gov.

Dated: May 1, 2001.

Attorney General.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training

Administration

Wagner-Peyser Act Final Planning

Allotments for Program Year (PY) 2001

AGENCY: Employment and Training

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

final planning allotments for Program

Year (PY) 2001 (July 1, 2001 through

June 30, 2002) for basic labor exchange

activities provided under the WagnerPeyser Act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Timothy S. Felegie, Office of Workforce

Security, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,

Room S–4231, Washington, DC 20210.

Telephone: (202) 693–2934 (this is not

a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with section 6(b)(5) of the

Wagner-Peyser Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e(b)(5),

the Employment and Training

Administration is publishing final

planning allotments for each State for

program Year (PY) 2001 (July 1, 2001,

through June 30, 2002). Preliminary

planning estimates were provided to

each State on March 6, 2001. Funds are

distributed in accordance with formula

criteria established in section 6(a) and

(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act. Civilian

labor force (CLF) and unemployment

data for Calendar Year 2000 are used in

making the formula calculations.

The total amount of funds currently

available for distribution is

$761,735,000. The Secretary of Labor

shall set aside up to 3 percent of the

total available funds to assure that each

State will have sufficient resources to

maintain statewide employment

services, as required by section 6(b)(4)

of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e(b)(4). In

accordance with this provision,

$22,372,050 is set aside for

administrative formula allocation. These

funds are included in the total planning

allotment. The funds that are set aside

are distributed in two steps to States

which have lost in relative share of

resources from the prior year. In Step 1,

States which have a CLF below one

million and are below the median CLF

density are maintained at 100 percent of

their relative share of prior year

resources. The remainder is distributed

23274 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 8, 2001 / Notices

in Step 2 to all other States losing in

relative share from the prior year, but

which do not meet the size and density

criteria for Step 1.

Postage costs incurred by States

during the conduct of employment

service (ES) activities are billed directly

to the Department of Labor by the U.S.

Postal Service. The total final planning

allotment reflects $16,000,000, or 2.1

percent of the total amount available,

withheld from distribution to finance

postage costs associated with the

conduct of ES business. Pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 49f(b),

ten percent of the total sums allotted to

each State shall be reserved for use by

the Governor to provide performance

incentives for public ES offices and

programs; services for groups with

special needs; and for the extra costs of

exemplary models for delivering job

services.

Differences between preliminary

planning estimates and final planning

allotmens are caused by the use of

Calendar Year 2000 data as opposed to

the earlier data (12 months ending

September 2000) used for preliminary

planning estimates.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of

April, 2001.

Administrator, Office of Workforce Security.

ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the

Charters of NASA’s Advisory

Committees.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 14(b)(1)

and 9(c) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463), and

after consultation with the Committee

Management Secretariat, General

Services Administration, the

Administrator of the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

has determined that a renewal of seven

Agency-established advisory

committees is in the public interest in

connection with the performance of

duties imposed upon NASA by law. The

structure and duties of these committees

are unchanged. However, the Life and

Microgravity Sciences and Applications

Advisory Committee has been renamed

to the Biological and Physical Research

Advisory Committee. This change is

consistent with the renaming of the

Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences

and Applications to the Office of

Biological and Physical Research. The

Aero-space Technology Advisory

Committee has been renamed the

Aerospace Technology Advisory

Committee.

The seven advisory committees are:

• NASA Advisory Council

• Aerospace Technology Advisory

Council

• Biological and Physical Research

Advisory Committee

• Earth System Science and

Applications Advisory Committee

• Minority Business Resources

Advisory Committee

• Space Science Advisory Committee

• Technology and Commercialization

Advisory Committee

NASA Advisory Committees; Renewal

of the Aerospace Safety Advisory

Panel

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the Charter

of NASA’s Aerospace Safety Advisory

Panel.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 14(b)(1)

and 9(c) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463), and

after consultation with the Committee

Management Secretariat, General

Services Administration, the

Administrator of the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

has determined that a renewal of the

Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel

(ASAP) is in the public interest in

connection with the performance of

duties imposed upon NASA by law. The

structure and duties of the ASAP remain

unchanged. The charter for the ASAP

now includes additional details on the

aspects of safety that the Panel should

include in their studies and advice to

the NASA Administrator. These aspects

of safety are fully consistent with the

Agency Safety Initiative, a major

commitment to safety as NASA’s

number one priority. The charter also

addresses membership terms. In the

case of panel members, the

Administrator can extend members’

service by no more than six years

beyond their original 6 year term,

thereby limiting service to a total of 12

years. Also, consultants will be

appointed for a specific task and will

serve no longer than the time required

to complete that specific task, but not

longer than 1 year. These provisions

will ensure that the Panel has balanced

representation of membership.
