included in the NARA request for Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. In this notice, 

NARA is soliciting comments 

concerning the following information 

collections: 

1. Title: Application for attendance at 

the Institute for the Editing of Historical 

Documents. 

OMB number: 3095–0012. 

Agency form number: None. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Individuals, often 

already working on documentary 

editing projects, who wish to apply to 

attend the annual one-week Institute for 

the Editing of Historical Documents, an 

intensive seminar in all aspects of 

modern documentary editing techniques 

taught by visiting editors and 

specialists. 

Estimated number of respondents: 25. 

Estimated time per response: 1.5 

hours. 

Frequency of response: On occasion, 

no more than annually (when 

respondent wishes to apply for 

attendance at the Institute). 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

37.5 hours. 

Abstract: The application is used by 

the NHPRC staff to establish the 

applicant’s qualifications and to permit 

selection of those individuals best 

qualified to attend the Institute jointly 

sponsored by the NHPRC, the 

Wisconsin Historical Society, and the 

University of Wisconsin. Selected 

applicants’ forms are forwarded to the 

resident advisors of the Institute, who 

use them to determine what areas of 

instruction would be most useful to the 

applicants. 

You can also use NARA’s Web site at 

http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/forms/ 

editing-application.pdf to review and 

fill in the application. 

2. Title: National Historical 

Publications and Records Commission 

Grant Program. 

OMB number: 3095–0013. 

Agency form number: None. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Nonprofit 

organizations and institutions, state and 

local government agencies, Federally 

acknowledged or state-recognized 

Native American tribes or groups, and 

individuals who apply for NHPRC 

grants for support of historical 

documentary editions, archival 

preservation and planning projects, and 

other records projects. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

148 per year submit applications; 

approximately 100 grantees among the 

applicant respondents also submit 

semiannual narrative performance 

reports. 

Estimated time per response: 54 hours 

per application; 2 hours per narrative 

report. 

Frequency of response: On occasion 

for the application; semiannually for the 

narrative report. Currently, the NHPRC 

considers grant applications 2 times per 

year; respondents usually submit no 

more than one application per year. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

8,392 hours. 

Abstract: The NHPRC is changing the 

way it provides information about its 

grant program. The previously all 

inclusive grant guidelines booklet is 

being replaced by a suite of 

announcements where the information 

will be specific to the grant opportunity 

named. The basic information collection 

remains the same. The grant proposal is 

used by the NHPRC staff, reviewers, and 

the Commission to determine if the 

applicant and proposed project are 

eligible for an NHPRC grant, and 

whether the proposed project is 

methodologically sound and suitable for 

support. The narrative report is used by 

the NHPRC staff to monitor the 

performance of grants. 

You can also use NARA’s Web site at 

http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/ 

guidelines/index.html to review the 

guidelines. The forms used to apply for 

a grant can be found at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services is an independent Federal 

grant-making agency authorized by the 

Museum and Library Services Act, 

Public Law 1104–208. The IMLS 

provides a variety of grant programs to 

assist the nation’s museums and 

libraries in improving their operations 

and enhancing their services to the 

public. Museums and libraries of all 

sizes and types may receive support 

from IMLS programs. The Museum and 

Library Services Act of 2003 includes a 

strong emphasis on supporting 

museums and libraries to carry out their 

educational role as core providers of 

learning and in conjunction with 

schools, families and communities. This 

solicitation is to develop plans to collect 

information to assist IMLS in 

understanding the needs and trends of 

museums and libraries, as well as the 

impact and effectiveness of museum 

and library programs that provide 

services to America’s youth. 

II. Current Actions 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services, in accordance with the 

Museum and Library Services Act of 

2003, is authorized to identify needs 

and trends of museum and library 

services, report on the impact and 

effectiveness, and identify best practices 

of programs conducted with funds made 

available by the Institute. Current 

research initiatives include analysis of 

grants made to museums and libraries in 

the area of youth development services 

between 1997 and 2003 to identify 

needs, trends, and exemplary practices, 

and to gain an understanding of the 

outcomes of such grants. A survey will 

be undertaken to solicit information 

from past grantees about the results of 

their programs. A small number of these 

grantees will be interviewed by phone. 

These information collections will be 

developed based on what is needed to 

undertake an analysis and case studies 

of grant results. The information IMLS 

collects will build on, but not duplicate 

existing or ongoing collections.

NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING 

COMMISSION 

Supplemental Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Proposed Federated 

Indians of the Graton Rancheria 

Casino and Hotel Project, Sonoma, CA 

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming 

Commission (NIGC). 

ACTION: Supplemental Notice of Intent 

(SNOI). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq., the NIGC, in cooperation with the 

Federated Indians of the Graton 

Rancheria (the ‘‘Graton Rancheria’’), 

intends to gather information necessary 

for preparing an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for a proposed casino 

and hotel project to be located in 

Sonoma, California. This notice 

supplements the Notice of Intent (NOI) 

which appeared in the Federal Register 

on February 12, 2004 (69 FR 7022 (Feb. 

12, 2004)) and advises the public that 

the NIGC and BIA intends to gather 

further information necessary to prepare 

an EIS for a proposed casino and hotel 

project to be located in Sonoma County, 

California. The purpose of the proposed 

action is to help address the socioeconomic needs of the Federated 

Indians of Graton Rancheria. The 

proposed action is very similar to that 

proposed in the February 12, 2004, NOI, 

with the exception that the casino and 

hotel would be constructed adjacent to 

and on the east side of the previously 

proposed site. The shift of the proposed 

construction site is being considered to 

avoid environmental constraints 

discovered on the original site, 

particularly, to avoid wetlands 

identified on the original site. 

Additional details of the new proposed 

action and location are provided below 

in the Supplemental Information 

section. The supplemental scoping 

process will include notification of and 

opportunity for the general public and 

Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies 

to comment on the new proposed 

action. The purpose of scoping is to 

identify public and agency concerns on 

environmental issues, and alternatives 

to be considered in the EIS. All the 

information and comments gathered in 

response to the earlier NOI remain in 

the record, and there is no need to 

repeat information submitted at that 

time. 

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be 

held on October 19, 2005 from 6 p.m. 

to 8:30 p.m., or until the last public 

comment is received. Written comments 

on the scope of the EIS should arrive by 

November 4, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

scope of the EIS should be addressed to: 

Brad Mehaffy, NEPA Compliance 

Officer, National Indian Gaming 

Commission, 1441 L Street, NW., Suite 

9100, Washington DC 20005. 

Please include your name, return 

address, and caption: ‘‘EIS Scoping 

Comments, Graton Rancheria Casino 

and Hotel Project’’, on the first page of 

your written comments. The agency 

scoping meeting will be hosted by the 

NIGC and the Federated Indians of the 

Graton Rancheria. The public scoping 

meeting will also be hosted by the NIGC 

and the Federated Indians of the Graton 

Rancheria. The public scoping meeting 

will be held at the Spreckels Performing
