Quarter of 1995

AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of municipal interest

rates on advances from insured electric

loans for the second quarter of 1995.

SUMMARY: The Rural Utilities Service

hereby announces the interest rates for

advances on municipal rate loans with

interest rate terms beginning during the

second calendar quarter of 1995.

DATES: These interest rates are effective

for interest rate terms that commence

during the period beginning April 1,

1995, and ending June 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rural

Utilities Service (RUS) hereby

announces the interest rates on

advances made during the second

calendar quarter of 1995 for municipal

rate electric loans. Pursuant regulations

originally published by the Rural

Electrification Administration (REA) at

7 CFR 1714.5, the interest rates on

advances from municipal rate loans are

based on indexes published in the

‘‘Bond Buyer’’ for the four weeks prior

to the first Friday of the last month

before the beginning of the quarter.

The Federal Crop Insurance Reform

and Department of Agriculture

Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L.

103–354, 101 Stat. 3178), signed by

President Clinton on October 13, 1994,

provides for the establishment of RUS as

successor to REA with respect to various

programs, including the electric loan

program established by the Rural

Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901

et seq.). On October 20, 1994, the

Secretary of Agriculture issued

Secretary’s Memorandum 1010–1,

establishing RUS and abolishing REA.

Therefore, RUS is publishing this notice

implementing a rule originally

published by REA.

In accordance with 7 CFR 1714.5, the

interest rates are established as shown

in the following table for all interest rate

terms that begin at any time during the

second calendar quarter of 1995.

Inventions, Government-Owned;

Availability for Licensing

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Government owned

inventions available for licensing.

SUMMARY: The inventions listed below

are owned by the U.S. Government, as

represented by the Department of

Commerce, and are available for

licensing in accordance with 35 U.S.C.

207 and 37 CFR Part 404 to achieve

expeditious commercialization of

results of federally funded research and

development.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Technical and licensing information on

these inventions may be obtained by

writing to: Marcia Salkeld, National

Institute of Standards and Technology,

Office of Technology Commercialization, Physics Building, Room B–256,

Gaithersburg, MD 20899; Fax 301–869–

2751. Any request for information

should include the NIST Docket No. and

Title for the relevant invention as

indicated below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

inventions available for licensing are:

NIST Docket No. 93–051

Title: Process For The Chemical

Preparation of Bismuth Telluride and

Bismuth Telluride Composite

Thermoelectric Materials

Description: An aqueous chemical route

to a bismuth telluride precursor is

described. Bismuth telluride is readily

generated from the precursor by

hydrogen reduction at 275 deg C, and

exhibits a particle size of about

100nm. This process provides fineparticle, polycrystalline bismuth

telluride from commonly available

chemicals in yields exceeding 90%.

NIST Docket No. 93–059

Title: Strut Structure and Rigid Joint

Therefor

Description: This NIST invention is a

system of mechanical joints and

clamps for assembling lightweight

struts into a rigid structure. The

system is designed to hold several

large objects, such as telescope

mirrors, in precise and stable

positions relative to each other.

NIST Docket No. 94–005

Title: Particle Calorimeter With Normal

Metal Base Layer

Description: NIST researchers have

designed a microcalorimeter based xray detector using a normal-metal

absorber and a normal-insulatorsuperconductor tunnel junction

thermometer. The detector has very

fast response time, on the order of 10

to 100 microseconds, and is capable

of detecting a minimum energy of 1

eV.

NIST Docket No. 94–008

Title: Josephson D/A Converter With

Fundamental Accuracy

Description: The invention is a

superconducting integrated circuit

that uses a digital input to rapidly

select any one of several thousand

quantized output voltages. The

voltages are generated directly by

microwave synchronized Josephson

junctions and are as accurate as the

externally generated microwave

frequency. The circuit makes fast

voltage comparisons and the digital

synthesis of ultra-accurate AC

waveforms possible. These AC

waveform’s amplitude derives

directly from the internationally

accepted definition of the volt.

NIST Docket No. 94–019

Title: Transparent Carbon Nitride Films,

Process For Making Carbon Nitride

Films And Compositions Of Matter

Comprising Transparent Carbon

Nitride Films

Description: This invention is a novel

process to produce transparent, hard

carbon nitride films. The films are

useful on lenses, windows, and

mirrors where durability is often

limited by scratches or other means of

surface damage.

Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery; Scoping

Meetings; SEIS

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

supplemental environmental impact

statement (SEIS); scoping meetings;

request for comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the

intention of the New England Fishery

Management Council (Council) to

prepare an SEIS for proposed

Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Sea

Scallop Fishery Management Plan

(FMP). NMFS informs the public

herewith of the opportunity to

participate in the further development

of Amendment 5 to the FMP. All

persons affected by, or otherwise

interested in, the proposed amendment

are invited to participate in determining

the scope of significant issues to be

considered in the SEIS by submitting

written comments. The scoping process

also will identify issues that are not

significant and eliminate them from

detailed study.

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

for dates and times of scoping meetings.

Written comments must be received by

April 19, 1995.

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for meeting locations. Send

written comments on the scoping

process and scope of the SEIS to

Douglas G. Marshall, Executive Director,

New England Fishery Management

Council, 5 Broadway, Saugus, MA

01906–1097.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Douglas G. Marshall, Executive Director,

617–231–0422; FAX: 617–565–8937.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Council will discuss Amendment 5 at

regularly scheduled meetings. The

public will be notified (by a Federal

Register notice) of the specific agendas

at least 2 weeks prior to Council

meetings. There is a preliminary

document available from the Council

that briefly describes the alternatives

currently under consideration.

One of these alternatives is

consolidation. Consolidation means

allowing days at sea (DAS) or other

units of fishing activity to be

redistributed among fewer boats, so the

remaining vessels have more

opportunity to fish. It has already been

discussed at the following Council

meetings:

October 26, 1994, Danvers, MA;

December 8, 1994, Danvers, MA;

January 12, 1994, Danvers, MA; and

February 16, 1995, Danvers, MA.

The currently scheduled scoping

meetings are as follows:

1. March 31, 1995, 4 p.m., Holiday

Inn, Maine Route 3, Ellsworth, ME;

2. April 3, 1995, 4 p.m., Seaport Inn,

110 Middle St., Fairhaven, MA;
