The proposed Consent Decree 

resolves PRASA’s violations of the 

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. 

(the ‘‘CWA’’) and the Safe Drinking 

Water Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f et seq., (the 

‘‘SDWA’’), and penalties and injunctive 

relief from PRASA. Specifically, the 

Consent Decree resolves PRASA’s 

violations of the National Primary 

Drinking Water Regulations 

(‘‘NPDWRs’’) set forth in Section 1412 of 

the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g, and its 

implementing regulations, 40 CFR Part 

141, as a result of its failure to comply 

with the Surface Water Treatment Rule 

(‘‘SWTR’’), at three Water Treatment 

Plants (‘‘WTPs’’) owned and/or operated 

by PRASA. The Decree also resolves 

PRASA’s violations for failing to comply 

with the CWA by discharging pollutants 

without a permit at 19 WTPs, in 

violation of Section 301(a) of the Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1311(a), and/or failing to comply 

with the terms of National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System 

(‘‘NPDES’’) permits issued to it by EPA 

pursuant to Section 402 of the Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1342, for at least 102 WTPs 

owned and/or operated by PRASA. 

Under the Consent Decree, PRASA 

will implement water treatment plant 

improvement projects over the next 15 

years valued at $195 million. These 

projects are divided into three phases of 

short term, mid-term, and long term 

Capitol Improvement Projects to rectify 

the CWA violations at 126 WTPs owned 

and operated by PRASA. The Consent 

Decree requires such projects as 

installing dechlorination equipment, 

high level indicators and flow meters; 

relocating sampling points; and 

constructing new sludge treatment 

systems. 34 Sludge Treatment Systems 

will be built at WTPs that are currently 

discharging untreated sludge into local 

waterways. The Consent Decree also 

requires PRASA to conduct capacity 

evaluations of its sludge treatment 

systems at approximately 50 WTPs, 

train operators, institute Standard 

Operating Procedures, and implement 

an Integrated Preventive Maintenance 

Program, as well as perform other tasks 

to achieve compliance with the CWA. 

PRASA will also pay a civil penalty of 

$1,024,267 and perform a Supplemental 

Environmental Project valued at 

$2,540,000. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

National Institute of Corrections 

Solicitation for a Cooperative 

Agreement—Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, 

Transgender, and Intersex Guidance 

Project 

AGENCY: National Institute of 

Corrections, U.S. Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Solicitation for a cooperative 

agreement. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals 

from organizations, groups, or 

individuals to enter into a cooperative 

agreement for a 12-month project 

period. Work under this agreement will 

result in a policy guide for corrections 

practitioners charged with the care and 

custody of lesbian, gay, bisexual, 

transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) 

offenders. In addition to providing 

guidance in selected operational areas 

(see Goal 2 and Supplementary 

Information), the guide will provide: 

(1) A brief summary of the relevant case 

law, (2) a description of current terms 

and definitions relevant to the LGBTI 

population, including an 

acknowledgment that these terms evolve 

and change over time, and (3) a list of 

topics that should be addressed in 

initial and ongoing staff training. 

Informational resources, websites, and 

sources for additional support should 

accompany each of these three areas. 

It is anticipated that the policy guide 

will be used by individuals from 

Federal, State, and local corrections 

agencies of all sizes and funding levels, 

including primarily correctional 

administrators, medical and mental 

health staff, and training coordinators. 

Consequently, the guide must provide 

sufficient rationale and background 

information where needed, be easy to 

understand and convenient to use, and 

provide resources for further study and 

followup. 

Ultimately, the policy guide will 

allow users to determine best practices 

for their specific agency or facility; write 

policy, procedure, and post orders that 

will allow implementation and 

monitoring of these practices; and 

develop staff and offender training and 

orientation materials. 

DATES: Applications must be received 

by 4 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 11, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Mailed applications must be 

sent to Director, National Institute of 

Corrections, 320 First Street, NW., Room 

5007, Washington, DC 20534. 

Applicants are encouraged to use 

Federal Express, UPS, or similar service 

to ensure delivery by the due date. 

Hand delivered applications should 

be brought to 500 First Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20534. At the front 

desk, call (202)307–3106, extension 0

project schedule. Note 1: The proposal 

should describe the major components 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
27582 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 94 / Monday, May 17, 2010 / Notices 

and tasks of the work plan. Subtasks 

will be developed as the project 

progresses. Note 2: The project schedule 

will be shown by quarters and reflect 

the number of months from the award 

date, as opposed to actual dates. 

Goal 2: Obtain input from corrections 

practitioners, the medical and mental 

health community, and LGBTI 

advocates. This input should focus on, 

but not be limited to, problems 

experienced in managing LGBTI 

offenders, best practice, the areas for 

which guidance would be most helpful, 

and how the guide can be structured for 

convenient use. In addition to, or in 

conjunction with the input received 

under Goal 2, the guide might contain 

guidance on LGBTI identification and 

risk assessment, intake and routine 

search procedures, offender orientation, 

classification and housing procedures, 

ongoing monitoring and reclassification 

procedures, provision of medical and 

mental health services, and 

considerations for the investigative 

process, privacy issues, and the 

identification of policy and practice 

with unintended consequences that can 

negatively affect LGBTI offenders. 

Goal 3: Provide for NIC’s approval an 

overview of the guide to include 

anticipated, measurable short-term and 

intermediate user outcomes and brief 

descriptions of the format and structure, 

major components and their content, 

and any appendixes, forms, or 

additional information. 

Goal 4: Develop and ‘‘test’’ the first 

draft of the guide. Included under this 

goal is the collection and assessment of 

feedback from potential users and the 

development of recommended changes 

for NIC approval. 

Goal 5: Revise the guide as indicated 

and deliver a copy of the product that 

meets NIC’s standards for acceptable

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High Growth 

and Emerging Industries (HGEI) 

Grants, Extension With Revisions 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(The Recovery Act) was signed into law 

by President Obama on February 17, 

2009. Among other funding directed to 

the Department of Labor, the Recovery 

Act provides $750 million for a program 

of competitive grants for worker training 

and placement in high growth and 

emerging industries, the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

High Growth and Emerging Industries 

(HGEI) grants. It is critical to record the 

impact of these Recovery Act resources, 

current information on participants in 

these grants, and the services provided 

to them. Therefore, to obtain 

comprehensive information on 

participants served by and services 

provided with Recovery Act resources, 

ETA proposes an extension with 

revisions of an information collection 

set for ARRA HGEI grantees. 

II. Review Focus: 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions: 

Type of Review: Extension with 

revisions. 

Title: American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High Growth 

and Emerging Industries (HGEI) Grants. 

OMB Number: 1205–0478.

(includes grantees that provide training 

and non-training grant-funded services). 

Form(s): ETA–9153. 

Total Annual Respondents: 244. 

Annual Frequency: Quarterly. 

Total Annual Responses: 976. 

Average Time per Response (Training 

Grantees): 262 Hours. 

Average Time per Response (Nontraining Grantees): 16 Hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours (Training Grantees): 159,296 

Hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours (Non-Training Grantees): 5,888 

Hours. 

Total Annual Burden Cost for
