substantially transformed as a result of the
described remanufacturing operations
performed in the United States. The country
of origin of the remanufactured toner
cartridges for purposes of U.S. Government
procurement is Japan.
We find that the image drums are
substantially transformed into products of
the United States when they undergo the
described remanufacturing operations in the
United States. Therefore, the country of
origin of the remanufactured image drums is
the United States.
Notice of this final determination will be
given in the Federal Register as required by
19 C.F.R. § 177.29. Any party-at-interest other
than the party which requested this final
determination may request, pursuant to 19
C.F.R. § 177.31, that CBP reexamine the
matter anew and issue a new final
determination. Any party-at-interest may,
within 30 days after publication of the
Federal Register notice referenced above,
seek judicial review of this final
determination before the Court of
International Trade.
Sincerely,
Sandra L. Bell,
Executive Director, Office of Regulations and

SUPPLMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Title XII of Division A of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5) (Recovery
Act) authorizes funding for GRP, a
Recovery Act program by which HUD
makes loans and grants and takes a
variety of other actions to facilitate
utility-saving retrofits and other retrofits
that produce environmental benefits, in
certain existing HUD-assisted
multifamily housing. The funding
provided for retrofits is designed to
result in property that reduces energy
demand, costs less to operate, improves
the residents’ quality of life, and
reduces its impact on the environment.
By notice issued May 13, 2009, HUD
announced the availability of funding
GRP. (See http://www.hud.gov/offices/
adm/hudclips/notices/hsg/files/09–
02HSGN.pdf). In the May 13, 2009,
notice, HUD announced that GRP would
be administered by the Office of
Affordable Housing Preservation. In the
May 13, 2009, notice, HUD also
announced that it would begin
accepting applications for GRP funding
on June 15, 2009, on a first come, first
serve basis, and would continue to
accept applications subject to the
availability of funding.
In this notice, HUD announces that,
based on remaining GRP funds
available, HUD will cease accepting
applications as of November 18, 2009.
Dated: November 9, 2009.

SUMMARY: On May 4, 2009, HUD posted
its NSP2 NOFA at http://www.hud.gov/
nsp and announced the availability of
the NOFA on May 7, 2009 (74 FR
21377). The NSP2 NOFA announced the
availability of approximately $1.93
billion available in competitive grants
authorized under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Pub. L. 111–5, approved February 17,
2009). The NSP2 NOFA was corrected
by Notice posted on the HUD website
and announced on June 11, 2009 (74 FR
28715). Today’s Federal Register
publication announces that HUD has
posted a notice making further
corrections to the NSP2 NOFA.
Specifically, the Notice (1) corrects an
inconsistency in the NSP2 NOFA
regarding when the lead member of a
consortium must enter into consortium
funding agreements with consortium
members; and (2) extends the deadline
for submitting such agreements to HUD
to January 29, 2010. This notice only
affects applications for funding that
have already been submitted to HUD by
consortium applicants. HUD notes that
the deadline for applications was July
17, 2009, and, as a result, will not
accept new applications for funding.
The notice correcting the NSP2 NOFA is
available on the HUD Web site at
http://www.hud.gov/recovery.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
During FY09 and FY10, the Volcano
Hazards Program (VHP) will provide
funding under the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for
improvement of the volcano and other
monitoring systems and other
monitoring-related activities that
contribute to mitigation of volcano
hazards. This notice concerns the
collection of information that is
sufficient and relevant to evaluate and
select proposals for funding under the
VHP. We will accept proposals from
State geological surveys and academic
institutions requesting funds to assist in
the monitoring of active volcanoes and
to conduct volcano-related research.
Financial assistance will be awarded on
a competitive basis following the
evaluation and ranking of State and
academic proposals. VHP proposals will
be reviewed by a peer panel of six (6)
members. Five (5) members will be
Department of the Interior
representatives; and one (1) member
will be an external representative. To
submit a proposal, you must follow the
written guideline (that will be made
available at http://www.Grants.gov) and
complete a project narrative. The

application must be submitted via
Grants.gov. Grant recipients must
complete a final technical report at the
end of the project period. Narrative and
report guidance is available through
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/ and at http://
www.Grants.gov.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028–0090.
Title: Volcano Hazards Program
(VHP).
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Respondent Obligation: Required to
receive benefits.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Description of Respondents: State
Geological Surveys and academic
institutions.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 20 applications and 12 final
reports.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 796
hours. We expect to receive
approximately 20 applications. It will
take each applicant approximately 35
hours to complete the narrative and
present supporting documents. This
includes the time for project conception
and development, proposal writing,
reviewing, and submitting the proposal
application through Grants.gov (totaling
700 burden hours). We anticipate
awarding 12 grants per year. The award
recipients must submit a final report at
the end of the project. We estimate that
it will take approximately 8 hours to
complete the requirement for that report
(totaling 96 hours).
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this collection
of information.

quality, usefulness, and clarity of the

automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
