novaeangliae) during aerial and vessel 

surveys off the U.S. southeast coast. 

Bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and 

Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella 

frontalis) may be incidentally harassed 

during research activities. The permit 

was amended to increase take numbers 

of North Atlantic right whales from 50 

to 100 per year during aerial surveys 

and from ten to 60 per year during 

vessel surveys. The permit is valid 

through October 31, 2016. 

A supplemental environmental 

assessment (SEA) analyzing the effects 

of the permitted activities on the human 

environment was prepared in 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Based on the 

analyses in the SEA, NMFS determined 

that issuance of the permit would not 

significantly impact the quality of the 

human environment and that 

preparation of an environmental impact 

statement was not required. That 

determination is documented in a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), signed on January 18, 2013. 

As required by the ESA, issuance of 

this permit amendment was based on a 

finding that such permit: (1) Was 

applied for in good faith; (2) will not 

operate to the disadvantage of such 

endangered species; and (3) is 

consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA.

ACTION: Notice, withdrawal of an 

incidental take authorization 

application. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of 

Columbia University (L–DEO), in 

cooperation with the Pacific Gas and 

Electric Company (PG&E) has 

withdrawn its application for an 

Incidental Harassment Authorization 

(IHA). The following action relates to a 

proposed IHA to L–DEO and PG&E for 

the take of small numbers of marine 

mammals, by Level B harassment only, 

incidental to conducting a marine 

geophysical (seismic) survey off the 

central coast of California, November to 

December, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: The documents and the 

application related to this action are 

available by writing to P. Michael

Howard Goldstein or Jolie Harrison, 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

17, 2012, NMFS received an application 

from L–DEO and PG&E requesting that 

NMFS issue an IHA for the take, by 

Level B harassment only, of small 

numbers of marine mammals incidental 

to conducting a marine seismic survey 

within the U.S. Exclusive Economic 

Zone of the central coast of California 

during November to December, 2012. 

NMFS received a revised application on 

August 31, 2012 and October 10, 2012. 

L–DEO and PG&E planned to use one 

source vessel, the R/V Marcus G. 

Langseth (Langseth) and a seismic 

airgun array to collect seismic data as 

part of the Offshore Central California 

Seismic Imaging Project located in the 

central area of San Luis Obispo County, 

California. On September 19, 2012, 

NMFS published a notice in the Federal 

Register (77 FR 58256) disclosing the 

effects on marine mammals, making 

preliminary determinations, and 

proposed issuing an IHA. The notice 

initiated a 30-day public comment 

period. On December 5, 2012, NMFS 

received a letter from PG&E 

withdrawing their IHA application for 

the proposed action. PG&E explained 

that on November 14, 2012, the 

California Coastal Commission (CCC) 

voted to deny issuance of a Coastal 

Development Permit/Federal 

Consistency Certification for the 

Offshore Central Coastal California 

Imaging Project. Based upon this 

decision by L–DEO and PG&E, NMFS 

hereby withdraws its proposal to issue 

an IHA for this activity.

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, the Corporation is 

soliciting comments concerning its 

proposed instrument to aggregate the 

responses to its approved information 

collection instruments: The Senior 

Corps Independent Living Client Survey 

and the Senior Corps Respite Client 

Survey. All Senior Companion Program 

(SCP) grantees are required to uses these 

instruments to collect performance 

measures outcome data, beginning in 

fiscal year 2013. The instruments are 

optional for the RSVP Program grantees. 

Senior Corps will require all grantee 

organizations that participate in the 

survey to summarize survey results and 

submit those results to the Corporation. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

Senior Corps adopted new, required 

performance measures for its programs 

beginning in Fiscal Year 2013. Under a 

separate information collection 

approval, two Independent Living 

Performance Measures Surveys were 

cleared for use by grantees of the Senior 

Companion Program (required) and the 

RSVP Program (optional). All Senior 

Companion Program grantees are 

required to use the previously cleared 

surveys to solicit outcome data from 

clients and caregivers served by Senior 

Companion volunteers. The information 

collection instrument proposed in this 

Notice will serve as the required 

template for grantees to use to provide 

two levels of information: (1) A row on 

the spreadsheet template corresponding 

to each individual client, without any 

personal information that could identify 

the individual; and (2) aggregate project 

level performance measures data for 

submission to CNCS. Grantees will 

complete the template, by transcribing 

information from the individual surveys 

completed by the clients and caregivers 

served by Senior Companion volunteers 

(required) and RSVP volunteers 

(optional) to the spreadsheet template. 

Current Action 

This is a new information collection 

request. The proposed standardized 

spreadsheet will incorporate all 

questions listed on the currently 

approved Independent Living 

Performance Measures Surveys for both 

clients and caregivers. Respondents will 

aggregate data on the proposed 

spreadsheet for submission to CNCS. 

Type of Review: New. 

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service.
