2572 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 10, 1995 / Notices

Analysis of Comments Received

Comment 1: The U.S. Customs

Service recommends that we delete the

following HTS numbers from the

proposed conversion: 6306.1100 and

6306.2100.

Department’s Position: We agree and

accept this recommendation because

these subheadings cover products that

were not included in the TSUSAdefined scope of the countervailing duty

order on certain textile mill products

from Sri Lanka.

Comment 2: The U.S. Customs

Service recommends that we delete

subheading 6307.1020 and insert

subheadings 6307.10.2005,

6307.10.2015, and 6307.10.2020.

Department’s Position: We agree and

accept this recommendation in order to

be more precise in coverage of products

included in the scope of the

countervailing duty order on certain

textile mill products from Sri Lanka.

In addition to the changes we are

making in response to comments

submitted by the U.S. Customs Service,

we are also deleting subheading

4202.2245 from the proposed

conversion because this subheading

covers products that were originally

covered by the scope of the

countervailing duty order on certain

apparel from Sri Lanka which was

revoked effective May 18, 1992 (59 FR

43814; August 25, 1994).

All of these changes are reflected in

the new Amended Conversion. The

attached Appendix incorporates all of

these amendments.

Instructions to Customs

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to liquidate without

regard to countervailing duties all

unliquidated entries of certain textile

mill products from Sri Lanka not

covered by the attached Appendix that

were exported from Sri Lanka on or after

May 18, 1992.

In addition, we are instructing the

Customs Service to terminate the

suspension of liquidation for all entries

of certain textile mill products from Sri

Lanka not covered in the attached

Appendix, that are entered or

withdrawn from the warehouse on or

after the date of publication of this

notice. The Department will also

instruct the U.S. Customs Service to

continue to suspend liquidation and

collect the appropriate cash deposit of

estimated countervailing duties for the

subject merchandise listed in the

attached Appendix, entered or

withdrawn from the warehouse, on or

after the date of publication of this

notice.

Dated: January 4, 1995.

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

COMMUNITY SERVICE

AmeriCorps State and Direct Grant

Program, Learn and Serve America K–

12 Grant Program, and Learn and

Serve America Higher Ed Grant

Program 1995 Policies and

Preferences

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

and Community Service (the

Corporation) in the Federal Register of

October 27, 1994 (59 FR 53963)

proposed changes and invited

comments with regard to three of its

main programs: AmeriCorps*USA,

Learn & Serve America K–12, and Learn

& Serve America Higher Education. The

Corporation is now proposing

additional policy changes and program

preferences for funding for these three

programs. This notice addresses

previously established rules concerning

the percentage of time a program must

commit to direct service activity and a

new policy issue focusing on fee-forservice. Moreover, the Corporation has

decided to give special consideration for

programs that have received funding

from the Corporation in the past. The

Corporation invites all interested parties

to comment on the issues discussed in

this notice. Any comments received will

be given careful consideration in the

development of final FY 1995 policies

and grant applications.

DATES: Comments on the Corporation’s

proposal for Direct Service Time and

Special Consideration for Past

Corporation Funded Programs must be

received no later than January 25, 1995.

Comments specifically addressing the

Corporation’s proposal for Fee-forservice must be received no later than

March 13, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Responses to this notice

may be mailed to Ethan Kline of the

Office of General Counsel, Corporation

for National Service, 1201 New York

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20525.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ethan Kline at (202) 606–5000 x. 467

between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Eastern Standard Time. For individuals

with disabilities, information will be

made available in alternative formats,

upon request.

I. Policies and Guidelines

A. Direct Service Time

The Corporation’s position has been

that in order for programs to have direct

and demonstrable results in

communities, at least 80% of each

AmeriCorps Members required 1700

hours of service (1360 hours) must be

spent in direct service activities, with

no more than 20% of the required

service time (340 hours) spent in

training, education, and other nondirect service activities. In general,

eligible direct service activities are those

service activities that directly relate to a

programs Community Service

Objectives and may include on-site

training, specific instructions related to

a service project, developing relevant

lesson plans, and imparting specific

knowledge through workshops and

presentations. Eligible non-direct

service activities, including training and

education, are those that relate to the

fulfillment of a program’s Community

Building and Participant Development

Objectives, and may include meeting

with a community-based organization in

order to develop a relationship with that

organization or having Members attend

GED preparation classes.

The Corporation now proposes to

refine this policy and apply the ‘‘80/20’’

Rule to the general design of the

AmeriCorps program, not to each

individual Member. This change allows

for variances among the individual

Members (some of whom will spend

more time performing direct service

while others will spend more time in

education, training, or other non-direct

service activities) and for variances

throughout the course of the year (a

program may choose to spend more time

in training sessions at the beginning of

the year rather than at the end of the

year). The 80/20 Rule will apply only to

the required minimum of 1700 hours,
