 Title 3--<br/> The President<br/>
 [[Page 76109]]<br/>
                 Proclamation 8091 of December 15, 2006<br/>
  <br/>                 Wright Brothers Day, 2006<br/>

                By the President of the United States of America
                 A Proclamation<br/>

                America has a rich history of exploration and 
                discovery, marked by scientific and technological 
                achievements that have transformed the world. On Wright 
                Brothers Day, we remember two aviation pioneers from 
                Ohio whose big dreams and extraordinary accomplishments                  helped change the course of human history.<br/>

                On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright 
                completed the first manned, powered flight in history 
                and ushered all of mankind into a new era of 
                possibility and promise. With Orville at the controls, 
                the Wright brothers' small aircraft traveled 120 feet 
                in 12 seconds above the dunes of Kitty Hawk, North 
                Carolina. The age of flight had begun, and in the 
                decades that followed, advancements in aviation would 
                enable determined American risk-takers to cross oceans, 
                break the sound barrier, and walk on the Moon.

                Today, our Nation follows the Wright brothers' example 
                of innovation as we continue to explore the frontiers 
                of air and space. My Administration has outlined a 
                vision for space exploration that includes a return to 
                the Moon and a long-term human and robotic program to 
                explore Mars and the solar system. By working to expand 
                the realm of the possible, we can gain a better 
                understanding of the universe and continue the journey 
                that the Wright brothers began more than a century ago.

                The Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 
                17, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 143), has 
                designated December 17 of each year as ``Wright 
                Brothers Day'' and has authorized and requested the 
                President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the 
                people of the United States to observe that day with                  appropriate ceremonies and activities.<br/>

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim December                  17, 2006, as Wright Brothers Day.<br/>
 [[Page 76110]]<br/>

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fifteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand six, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.                  <GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT><br/>                 <br/>                     (Presidential Sig.)<br/>

  <description><![CDATA[ The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is 
proposing amendments to its procedures for implementing the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). 
This proposed rule also includes minor, technical amendments to the 
Agency's procedures for implementing Executive Order 12114,  ``Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions.''</p><p>    This proposed rule would amend EPA's NEPA implementing procedures 
by: consolidating and standardizing the procedural provisions and 
requirements of the Agency's environmental review process under NEPA; 
clarifying the general procedures associated with categorical 
exclusions, consolidating the categories of actions subject to 
categorical exclusion, amending existing and adding new categorical 
exclusions, and consolidating and amending existing and adding new 
extraordinary circumstances; consolidating and amending the listing of 
actions that generally require an environmental impact statement; 
clarifying the procedural requirem<script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-19-E6-21135</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 
90day finding on two petitions to list the Mono Basin area population 
of greater sagegrouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the BiState area 
of California and Nevada as threatened or endangered under the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We find that the petitions 
do not present substantial scientific or commercial information 
indicating that listing this population may be warranted. Therefore, we 
are not initiating a status review in response to these petitions. We 
ask the public to submit to us any new information that becomes 
available concerning the status of this population or threats to it or 
its habitat at any time.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-19-E6-21260</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), withdraw the 
proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on January 19, 2006 
(71 FR 3158), to list Penstemon grahamii (Graham's beardtongue) as a 
threatened species with critical habitat under the Endangered Species 
Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. We have determined that listing is not 
warranted because threats to the species as identified in the January 
19, 2006, proposed rule are not significant, and available data do not 
indicate that the threats to the species and its habitat, as analyzed 
under the five listing factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, 
are likely to threaten or endanger the species in the foreseeable 
future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Our 
decision to withdraw the proposed rule to list Penstemon grahamii also 
removes the species from candidate status under the Act.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-19-E6-21548</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This notice announces that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 
Services (USCIS) will be conducting a pilot of a redesigned 
naturalization test. Applicants for naturalization must, among other 
things, demonstrate an understanding of the English language, a 
knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, and the 
principles and form of government in the United States. Currently the 
naturalization testing process and test content vary in each USCIS 
district office. USCIS plans to revise the naturalization testing 
process to ensure that the naturalization testing process is uniform. 
Thus, a newly redesigned English reading and writing test, as well as 
the U.S. history and government test, will be pilot tested in the  following, randomly selected sites:</p><p>    Albany, New York suboffice; Boston, Massachusetts, District 
Office; Kansas City, Missouri, District Office; Charleston, South

it is determined that unauthorized recipients have received financial 
assistance under USDA Business, Cooperative, and Community Facility 
loan and grant programs. The changes make clear that the first demand 
letter notifying the recipient of the Agency's determination serves as 
the initial step in the Agency's collection efforts, and that it may 
serve as the basis for the recipient's appeal rights. The terms of the 
first demand letter remain in full force and effect, unless the demand 
letter is subsequently amended in writing by the Agency after 
discussions with the recipient or modified as a result of judicial 
proceedings.

  <description><![CDATA[ The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
published a document (Final Rule) in the Federal Register on January 5, 
2006, effective on February 6, 2006, revising the federal consistency 
regulations under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). That 
document referenced an incorrect crossreference in Sec.  930.125(b) 
and unnecessarily required the submission of multiple copies of some 
documents in Sec. Sec.  930.127(d)(1) and 930.127(i)(2). This document 
amends the final regulations by revising these sections.

project and has no conflict of interest. The general contractor, 
subcontractors, equipment lessees, material and other suppliers, and 
management of the project certify to any direct or indirect contractual 
relationship they have with the sponsor or the mortgagor. HUD uses this 
information to assure compliance with regulations.

  <description><![CDATA[ This proposed rule would establish regulations for fishing 
seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of fish 
and shellfish for subsistence uses during the 200809 regulatory year. 
The rulemaking is necessary because Subpart D is subject to an annual  public review cycle. When<br/> [[Page 75900]]<br/>
final, this rulemaking would replace the fish and shellfish taking 
regulations included in the ``Subsistence Management Regulations for 
Public Lands in Alaska, Subpart D: 200708 Subsistence Taking of Fish 
and Wildlife Regulations,'' which expire on March 31, 2008. This rule 
would also amend the Customary and Traditional Use Determinations of 
the Federal Subsistence Board and the General Regulations related to 
the taking of fish and shellfish.

  <description><![CDATA[ This provides notice of the Federal Subsistence Board's action 
to provide winter subsistence harvest opportunities for lake trout, 
Dolly Varden, and rainbow trout in Tustumena Lake. The fishing 
opportunity in Tustumena Lake provides an exception to the Subsistence 
Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, published in the 
Federal Register on March 29, 2006. Those regulations established 
seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means relating to the taking of 
fish and shellfish for subsistence uses during the 2006 regulatory

  <description><![CDATA[ The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule 
to improve the barrier quality of medical gloves marketed in the United 
States. The rule will accomplish this by reducing the current 
acceptable quality levels (AQLs) for leaks and visual defects observed 
during FDA testing of medical gloves. By reducing the AQLs for medical 
gloves, FDA will also harmonize its AQLs with consensus standards 
developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 
and ASTM International (ASTM).

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-19-E6-21530</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
(Act), as amended, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service, us, 
our, or we), propose to remove the West Virginia northern flying 
squirrel (WVNFS) (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) from the Federal List of 
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, due to recovery. This action is 
based on a review of the best available scientific and commercial data, 
which indicates that the subspecies is no longer endangered or 
threatened with extinction, or likely to become so within the 
foreseeable future. Recovery actions have resulted in a reduction in 
the threats which has led to: (1) A significant increase in the number 
of known WVNFS capture sites; (2) an increase in the number of 
individual squirrels; (3) multiple generation reproduction; (4) the 
proven resiliency of the squirrels; and (5) the vast improvement and 
continued expansion of suitable habitat.

Interstate Highway System. The list is available at <A HREF="/i.p/outbound/http://www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/histpres/highways.asp">http://www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/histpres/highways.asp</A>.  In developing the <br/>
final list, the FHWA considered public comments received on the 
preliminary list of exceptional elements, which was published in the 
Federal Register on June 16, 2006 (71 FR 34988). This notice summarizes 
those comments. Exemptions of the Interstate Highway System from 
consideration as historic property under the provisions of section 106 
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and section 4(f) of 
the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 \1\ will not apply to the  elements on this list.<br/>

  <description><![CDATA[ The FHWA is extending the comment period for a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and request for comments, which was 
published on November 1, 2006, at 71 FR 64173. The original comment 
period is set to close on January 2, 2007. The extension is based on 
concern expressed by the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control 
Devices (NCUTCD) that the January 2 closing date does not provide 
sufficient time for discussion of the issues in committee and a 
subsequent comprehensive response to the docket. The FHWA recognizes 
that others interested in commenting may have similar time constraints 
and agree that the comment period should be extended. Therefore, the 
closing date for comments is changed to February 16, 2007, which will 
provide the NCUTCD and others interested in commenting additional time 
to discuss, evaluate, and submit responses to the docket.

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Makila 1A and 1A1  Turboshaft Engines]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-19-E6-21586</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation 
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe 
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe  condition as:</p><p>    The backup mode can be activated by an electrostatic discharge 
or by a malfunction of the collective pitch signal. The two engines 
fitted on the same helicopter can therefore be frozen in this back up position at 85% N1.</p><p>    Freezing both engines in the backup mode can lead to an inability 
to continue safe flight and forced landing. The proposed AD would 
require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition 
described in the MCAI.
