Pursuant to the Act, a Federal moratorium on fishing for American shad within South Carolina state waters is hereby declared, and will be effective on January 5, 2001, if by December 15, 2000, South Carolina is not found to be in compliance with the ISFMP for Shad and River Herring. The purpose of this action is to support and encourage the development, implementation, and enforcement of the Commission's ISFMPs to conserve and manage Atlantic coastal fishery resources.

The moratorium and any necessary regulations will become effective on January 5, 2001, through a separate notification and rule unless, by December 15, 2000, the State of South Carolina is found to have adopted and implemented measures to return to compliance with the Commission's ISFMP for Shad and River Herring.

The PA is a voluntary agreement developed collaboratively by Clermont, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), and EPA. Project XLC, announced in the Federal Register on November 1, 1995, (60 FR 55569), gives regulated sources the flexibility to develop alternative strategies that will replace or modify specific regulatory requirements on the condition that they produce greater environmental benefits. Clermont County is one of the fastest developing counties in Ohio, located just east of Cincinnati. The County is experiencing significant changes in population density and rural demographics. The Clermont County XLC Project focuses on the East Fork of the Little Miami River (EFLMR) watershed. The specific waters within the County considered under this Agreement include the EFLMR mainstream and tributaries, and Harsha Lake, which is located centrally within the EFLMR basin. The EFLMR is a major tributary to the Little Miami River, which is a designated State and National Scenic River and is the State of Ohio's largest Exceptional Warmwater Habitat stream. Clermont County proposes a comprehensive watershed management plan for the EFLMR. The major goal of this watershed plan is to address environmental management of its resources with an aggressive and innovative approach so that it can maintain a balance between economic growth and the preservation of its rural character and environment, and where possible strive to improve the environment and protection of the area's natural resources. The County will work in partnership with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and EPA to design and implement a plan to maintain and improve water quality, land use and economic development in the County. The development of this watershed plan will empower the local community to work with the County to review current water quality standards and establish meaningful measures of environmental conditions that are based on the specific characteristics of the EFLMR and its tributaries. Once the water quality goals are established for the watershed, the primary responsibility for achieving those goals will be at the local level. The command and control regulatory framework will be replaced with a collaborative goal setting approach. As part of the watershed management plan, Clermont County will develop a sampling and monitoring program, and a County Environmental Protection Plan that will enable the County to compile data on existing watershed environmental conditions. New findings from the sampling program pertaining to the chemical and biological characteristics of the EFLMR will be used in computer-based simulations to make predictions regarding point and non-point source pollution. The plan will also use the information to identify which policy and capital changes regarding the land management policies must be made in order to attain the County's water quality goals in the watershed. In addition, the County anticipates using an effluent trading system in which pollution credits may be exchanged among point and non-point sources. No regulatory flexibility is needed for the initial planning phase of this Project. More specific details regarding regulatory flexibility will be identified in the development of subsequent phases that will implement the planning developed during the initial phase. This multi- phased approach is expected to achieve superior environmental performance through greater local responsibility and management of point and nonpoint sources. The Project is comprehensive in scope and will include development issues closely tied to water quality such as land use, development procedures, open space and farmland preservation, and economic development. Most importantly, the County is being proactive-investing in watershed management controls not currently regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits and much sooner than would otherwise be required under a waste load allocation and Total Maximum Daily Loads developed by OEPA. Because the watershed is rapidly developing and degraded water quality is expected if existing regulations and practices are continued, the baseline for this proactive approach to superior environmental performance is defined as no adverse trends in water quality indicators. 65 FR 49983 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2000-08-16/00-20809 00-20809 fr16au00-65 6560-50-P FRL-6852-4 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2000-08-16/00-20809/content-detail.html http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-08-16/html/00-20809.htm http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-08-16/pdf/00-20809.pdf 2 p. 49983 49984 65 FR 49983 Regulatory Reinvention (XLC) Pilot Projects; Project XLC Phase I (Planning) Project Agreement: Clermont County, OH.; Federal Register Vol. 65, Issue NOTICE 00-20809 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2000-08-30 FRL-6852-4 6560-50-P 00-20809 Notice of Project XLC Phase I (Planning) Project Agreement.

Art objects; importation for exhibition: Commercial export licenses; notifications to Congress, article Notices D09002ee1809f9c65 D09002ee1809f9ced United States Department of State originator org United States Government Agency or Subagency The Department of State (DOS) is soliciting a proposal to conduct international law enforcement training at the deBremmond National Guard facility, located in Roswell, New Mexico. The recipient will have access to the deBremmond facility for the purpose of implementing this program, as required by the pertinent congressional appropriation language. The recipient is required to have extensive knowledge of the local area and experience in dealing with cooperative agreements. The facilities available at the deBremmond complex include dormitories, classrooms, office space, conference rooms, an auditorium and storage areas. These buildings will undergo extensive renovations prior to their occupancy, to meet exacting international standards. Initial training will be conducted at temporary commercial facilities. Dining and recreational facilities will be either provided on-site or contracted elsewhere. The maintenance, operation and repair of these buildings are the responsibility of the New Mexico National Guard. This project envisions the creation of an International Law Enforcement Academy, utilizing a curriculum comprised of courses similar to those provided at a typical Criminal Justice university/ college. The courses shall be designed and taught by academicians, for foreign law enforcement officials. The students will be mid-to-senior law enforcement and criminal justice officials from Eastern Europe, Russia, the former Soviet Union, ASEAN member countries and the PRC. After an initial period, countries from Latin America and Africa will also participate. Typically, these courses will cover topics such as police organization and administration, psychology of criminal behavior, police organization and administration, family violence, planning for police operations, women in policing, urban violence, civil disobedience and dissent, etc. The instruction should be structured in four separate modules, each one week in duration, for an overall course length of four weeks. In addition, a cultural and institutional orientation component should be blended throughout the course. These courses will be offered year around, except for two breaks, one in the summer and the other at year's end, each lasting two weeks. Each class will be comprised of approximately 50 students. After an initial phase of approximately one year, two classes will be run simultaneously bringing the student population to 100 for a total annual output of 1200 students. The instruction will be in English with simultaneous translation into at least three languages. The recipient will be expected to offer administrative and logistical support for the program, to include, but not limited to: international and domestic travel arrangements for all participants, coordination with United States missions overseas to effect the identification and notification of candidates, cultural and programmatic orientation, provision of lodging and meals for the students, facilitation of emergency medical care, shipping of instructional materials, maintenance of personal and academic files, coordination with university staff to develop curriculum and deliver instruction, implementation of training plans, evaluation of training effectiveness, dissemination of information concerning the Academy, hosting of official visitors and foreign dignitaries, facilitation of cultural and recreational activities, interaction with city, county and military personnel connected with the Academy. The Department of State's involvement in the execution of this project is considered substantial.

The Department of State (DOS) is soliciting a proposal to conduct international law enforcement training at the deBremmond National Guard facility, located in Roswell, New Mexico. The recipient will have access to the deBremmond facility for the purpose of implementing this program, as required by the pertinent congressional appropriation language. The recipient is required to have extensive knowledge of the local area and experience in dealing with cooperative agreements. The facilities available at the deBremmond complex include dormitories, classrooms, office space, conference rooms, an auditorium and storage areas. These buildings will undergo extensive renovations prior to their occupancy, to meet exacting international standards. Initial training will be conducted at temporary commercial facilities. Dining and recreational facilities will be either provided on-site or contracted elsewhere. The maintenance, operation and repair of these buildings are the responsibility of the New Mexico National Guard. This project envisions the creation of an International Law Enforcement Academy, utilizing a curriculum comprised of courses similar to those provided at a typical Criminal Justice university/ college. The courses shall be designed and taught by academicians, for foreign law enforcement officials. The students will be mid-to-senior law enforcement and criminal justice officials from Eastern Europe, Russia, the former Soviet Union, ASEAN member countries and the PRC. After an initial period, countries from Latin America and Africa will also participate. Typically, these courses will cover topics such as police organization and administration, psychology of criminal behavior, police organization and administration, family violence, planning for police operations, women in policing, urban violence, civil disobedience and dissent, etc. The instruction should be structured in four separate modules, each one week in duration, for an overall course length of four weeks. In addition, a cultural and institutional orientation component should be blended throughout the course. These courses will be offered year around, except for two breaks, one in the summer and the other at year's end, each lasting two weeks. Each class will be comprised of approximately 50 students. After an initial phase of approximately one year, two classes will be run simultaneously bringing the student population to 100 for a total annual output of 1200 students. The instruction will be in English with simultaneous translation into at least three languages. The recipient will be expected to offer administrative and logistical support for the program, to include, but not limited to: international and domestic travel arrangements for all participants, coordination with United States missions overseas to effect the identification and notification of candidates, cultural and programmatic orientation, provision of lodging and meals for the students, facilitation of emergency medical care, shipping of instructional materials, maintenance of personal and academic files, coordination with university staff to develop curriculum and deliver instruction, implementation of training plans, evaluation of training effectiveness, dissemination of information concerning the Academy, hosting of official visitors and foreign dignitaries, facilitation of cultural and recreational activities, interaction with city, county and military personnel connected with the Academy. The Department of State's involvement in the execution of this project is considered substantial. DOS will provide guidance in the nature and composition of the courses, selection of students, training schedules, coordination with U.S. missions overseas, extracurricular activities and interaction with foreign officials involved in the operation of the program. DOS will also play a predominant role in the evaluation and modification of training methodologies. A DOS representative resident in Roswell, NM, and the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Bureau, in Washington, DC will conduct these activities.
