Notice of Extension of Designation of

Rwanda under the Temporary

Protected Status Program

By the authority vested in me as

Attorney General under section 244A of

the Immigration and Nationality Act, as

amended, (8 U.S.C. 1254a), and

pursuant to sections 224A(b)(3) (A) and

(C) of the Act, I have had consultations

with the appropriate agencies of the

Government concerning (a) the

conditions in Rwanda; and (b) whether

permitting nationals of Rwanda, and

aliens having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Rwanda, to remain

temporarily in the United States is

contrary to the national interest of the

United States. After these consultations,

I remain unable to determine that

Rwanda no longer meets the conditions

for Temporary Protected Status

designation under paragraph

244A(b)(3)(C) of the Act. Accordingly, it

is ordered as follows:

(1) The designation of Rwanda under

section 244A(b) of the Act is extended

for an additional 6-month period from

June 7, 1996, to December 6, 1996.

(2) I estimate that there are

approximately 200 nationals of Rwanda,

and aliens having no nationality who

last habitually resided in Rwanda, who

have been granted Temporary Protected

Status and who are eligible for reregistration.

(3) In order to maintain current

registration for Temporary Protected

Status, a national of Rwanda, or an alien

having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Rwanda, who

received a grant of TPS during the

initial period of designation from June

7, 1994, to June 6, 1995, must comply

with the re-registration requirements

contained in 8 CFR 240.17, which are

described in pertinent part in

paragraphs (4) and (5) of this notice.

(4) A national of Rwanda, or an alien

having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Rwanda, who

previously has been granted TPS, must

re-register by filing a new Application

for Temporary Protection Status, Form

I–821, together with an Application for

Employment Authorization, Form I–

765, within the 30-day period beginning

on July 10, 1996, and ending on July 9,

1996, in order to be eligible for

Temporary Protected Status during the

period from June 7, 1996, until

December 6, 1996. Late re-registration

applications will be allowed pursuant to

8 CFR 240.17(c).

(5) There is no fee for Form I–821

filed as part of the re-registration

application. The fee prescribed in 8 CFR

103.7(b)(1), currently seventy dollars

($70), will be charged for Form I–765,

filed by an alien requesting employment

authorization pursuant to the povisions

of paragraph (4) of this notice. An alien

who does not request employment

authorization must nonetheless file

Form I–821 together with Form I–765,

but in such cases both Form I–821 and

Form I–765 should be submitted

without fee.

(6) Pursuant to section 244A(b)(3)(A)

of the Act, the Attorney General will

review, at least 60 days before December

6, 1996, the designation of Rwanda

under the TPS program to determine

whether the conditions for designation

continue to be met. Notice of that

determination, including the basis for

the determination, will be published in

the Federal Register.

(7) Information concerning the TPS

program for nationals of Rwanda, and

aliens having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Rwanda, will be

available at local Immigration and

Naturalization Service offices upon

publication of this notice.

Dated: June 5, 1996.

Janet Reno,

Attorney General.

FEDERAL MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH

REVIEW COMMISSION

Sunshine Act Meeting

TIME AND DATE: 10:00 a.m., Wednesday,

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The

Commission will consider and act upon

the following:

1. New Warwick Mining Co., Docket Nos.

PENN 93–199–R and PENN 93–308. (Issues

include whether the judge correctly

determined that the operator violated 30 CFR

§ 70.207(a) by taking respirable dust samples

from underneath the face shield of an

airstream helmet and that the violation was

the result of unwarrantable failure.)

2. Consolidation Coal Co., Docket No.

WEVA 94–235–R. (Issues include whether

the judge correctly determined that the

operator did not violate 30 CFR § 75.342(b)(2)

when the warning light on a methane

monitor was not within the line of sight of

a person who could deenergize the longwall

equipment on which the monitor was

mounted.)

Any person attending this meeting

who requires special accessibility

features and/or auxiliary aids, such as

sign language interpreters, must inform

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND

SPACE ADMINISTRATION

[Notice 96–059]

National Environmental Policy Act;

International Space Station

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Tier 2

final environmental impact statement.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et

seq.), the Council on Environmental

Quality Regulations for Implementing

the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40

CFR Parts 1500–1508), and NASA

policy and procedures (14 CFR Part

1216, Subpart 1216.3), NASA has

prepared and issued a Tier 2 final

environmental impact statement (FEIS)

for the International Space Station (ISS).

The proposed action by NASA is to

continue to provide U.S. participation

in the assembly and operation of the

ISS. This Tier 2 FEIS addresses changes

to the Space Station program and

potential environmental impacts that

could not be addressed in detail at the

time of the Tier 1 FEIS. These factors

include modifications to the Space

Station itself, its assembly and

operation, an assessment of the

probability and consequences of reentry

into Earth’s atmosphere, and an

assessment of the proposed

decommissioning plan.

DATES: NASA will take no final action

on the proposed continued U.S.

participation in the ISS program before

July 10, 1996, or 30 days from the date

of publication in the Federal Register of

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency’s notice of availability of the ISS

Tier 2 FEIS, whichever is later.
29430 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 112 / Monday, June 10, 1996 / Notices

ADDRESSES: The Tier 2 FEIS may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NASA

issued the Final Tier 1 Environmental

Impact Statement for Space Station

Freedom in March 1991 (the ‘‘Tier 1

FEIS’’) followed by the associated

Record of Decision to proceed with fullscale design and development of the

concept known as Space Station

Freedom.

At the time the Tier 1 FEIS was

prepared, detailed design information

was not available. As a consequence,

some issues relating to the potential

environmental effects of Space Station

Freedom were deferred to the Tier 2

environmental impact statement. These

issues included the impacts of any

significant design modifications that

might be incorporated as the design

matured, and a quantitative analysis of

the probability and consequences of

inadvertent reentry into the Earth’s

atmosphere during assembly and

operation. Other issues that were

deferred included venting of nontoxic

gases during operation and change to a

hydrazine propulsion system.

The proposed action considered in

this Tier 2 FEIS and NASA’s preferred

alternative is to continue to provide U.S.

participation in the implementation of

assembly and operation of the ISS. The

Tier 2 FEIS considers the alternative to

the proposed action, the ‘‘No-Action’’

alternative (i.e., cancellation of U.S.

participation in the ISS program).

Comments on the ISS Tier 2 draft

environmental impact statement have

been solicited from Federal, State, and

local agencies, organizations, and

members of the general public through:

(a) notices published in the Federal

Register—NASA notice on December 6,

1995 (60 FR 62480), and EPA notice on

December 8, 1995 (60 FR 63044); and (b)

direct mailings to interested parties.

Comments received have been

addressed in the Tier 2 FEIS.
