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Earth Observatory of Columbia University (L–DEO), in cooperation with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has withdrawn its application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA).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 Payne, Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910, or by telephoning the contact listed here.

**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.

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.

**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.

Title: Independent Living Surveys Performance Measures Aggregation Tool.

OMB Number: None. Agency Number: None. Affected Public: All grantees of the Senior Companion Program. Grantees of the RSVP Program that voluntarily adopt the Performance Measures Surveys.

Total Respondents: 350. Frequency: Annual. Average Time per Response: Averages 7 hours.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,450. Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintenance): None.

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they will also become a matter of public record.
