(NEPA), for applicant projects or 

proposals which are seeking NOAA 

federal funding opportunities. Detailed 

information on NOAA compliance with 

NEPA can be found at the following 

NOAA NEPA Web site: http:// 

www.nepa.noaa.gov/, including our 

NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 for 

NEPA, http://www.nepa.noaa.gov/ 

NAO216_6_TOC.pdf, and the Council 

on Environmental Quality 

implementation regulations, http:// 

ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ceq/ 

toc_ceq.htm Consequently, as part of an 

applicant’s package, and under their 

description of their program activities, 

applicants are required to provide 

detailed information on the activities to 

be conducted, locations, sites, species 

and habitat to be affected, possible 

construction activities, and any 

environmental concerns that may exist 

(e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous 

or toxic chemicals, introduction of nonindigenous species, impacts to 

endangered and threatened species, 

aquaculture projects, and impacts to 

coral reef systems). 

In addition to providing specific 

information that will serve as the basis 

for any required impact analyses, 

applicants may also be requested to 

assist NOAA in drafting of an 

environmental assessment, if NOAA 

determines an assessment is required. 

Applicants will also be required to 

cooperate with NOAA in identifying 

feasible measures to reduce or avoid any 

identified adverse environmental 

impacts of their proposal. The failure to 

do so shall be grounds for not selecting 

an application. In some cases if 

additional information is required after 

an application is selected, funds can be 

withheld by the Grants Officer under a 

special award condition requiring the 

recipient to submit additional 

environmental compliance information 

sufficient to enable NOAA to make an 

assessment on any impacts that a project 

may have on the environment. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78389), are

BILLING CODE 3510–22–P 

COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Extension of Period of Determination 

on Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports From 

China 

October 17, 2005. 

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(the Committee). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Committee is extending 

through November 30, the period for 

making a determination on whether to 

request consultations with China 

regarding imports of cotton and manmade fiber curtains and drapery 

(Category 369 Part/666 Part). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay 

Dowling, Office of Textiles and Apparel, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 

482–4058. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture 

Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order 

11651, as amended. 

Background 

On June 22, 2005, the Committee 

received a request from the American 

Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, 

the National Council of Textile 

Organizations, the National Textile 

Association, and UNITE HERE 

requesting that the Committee limit 

imports from China of cotton and manmade fiber curtains and drapery 

(Category 369 Part/666 Part) due to 

market disruption. 

The Committee determined that this 

request provided the information 

necessary for the Committee to consider 

the request and solicited public 

comments for a period of 30 days. See 

Solicitation of Public Comment on 

Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China, 70 FR 41376 (July 19, 2005). 

The Committee’s Procedures, 68 FR 

27787 (May 21, 2003) state that the 

Committee will make a determination 

within 60 calendar days of the close of 

the public comment period as to 

whether the United States will request 

consultations with China. If the 

Committee is unable to make a 

determination within 60 calendar days, 

it will cause to be published a notice in 

the Federal Register, including the date 

by which it will make a determination. 

The 60 day determination period for 

this case expired on October 17, 2005. 

The Committee is unable to make a 

determination within the determination 

period because it is continuing to 

evaluate production data for cotton and 

man-made fiber curtains and drapery. 

Therefore, the Committee is extending 

the determination period to November 

30, 2005. 

James C. Leonard III, 

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.

DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES 

SAFETY BOARD 

Sunshine Act Meeting 

Pursuant to the provisions of the 

‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’ (5 

U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given of 

the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board’s (Board) public hearing and 

meeting described below. The Board 

61122 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 202 / Thursday, October 20, 2005 / Notices 

will conduct a public hearing and 

meeting pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2286b 

and invites any interested persons or 

groups to present any comments, 

technical information, or data 

concerning safety issues related to the 

matters to be considered. 

TIME AND DATE OF MEETING: 9 a.m., 

December 7, 2005. 

PLACE: Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board, Public Hearing Room, 625 

Indiana Avenue, NW., Suite 300, 

Washington, DC 20004–2001. 

Additionally, as a part of the Board’s EGovernment initiative, the meeting will 

be presented live through Internet video 

streaming. A link to the presentation 

will be available on the Board’s Web site 

(http://www.dnfsb.gov). 

STATUS: Open. While the Government in 

the Sunshine Act does not require that 

the scheduled discussion be conducted 

in a meeting, the Board has determined 

that an open meeting in this specific 

case furthers the public interests 

underlying both the Sunshine Act and 

the Board’s enabling legislation. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: In this 

public hearing and meeting, the Board 

will consider the Department of 

Energy’s (DOE) incorporation of safety 

into the design and construction of new 

and modification of existing DOE 

defense nuclear facilities. The Board is 

responsible, pursuant to its statutory 

charter, to review and evaluate the 

content and implementation of 

standards relating to the design and 

construction of such facilities. The 

Board has recently observed that 

improvement in the incorporation of 

safety in the design of certain new 

defense nuclear facilities may be 

possible. In this December 7th hearing 

and meeting, the Board will explore 

DOE’s safety policies, expectations, and 

processes for integrating safety into 

design and construction of new and 

modification of existing facilities. The 

Board will collect information needed to 

understand and address any health or 

safety concerns that may require Board 

action with respect to safety in design. 

This will include, but is not limited to, 

presentations from both DOE and 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA) senior 

management officials concerning 

integration of safety into the design 

construct. The public hearing portion of 

this proceeding is authorized by 42 

U.S.C. 2286b.

Anyone who wishes to comment or
