imaging, collection of sloughed skin and 

prey items, and dart tagging. Annually, 

up to ten killer whales and ten gray 

whales may have a LIMPET satellite 

dart tag attached. An additional 1000 

animals of each species may be 

approached for non-invasive research 

activities or incidentally harassed 

annually. The permit is valid through 

June 30, 2018. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final

Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA– 

DR Implementation Act’’), Pub. Law 109–53;

accompanying the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act; and Presidential 

Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and

Background 

The CAFTA–DR Agreement provides 

a list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers that the Parties to the 

CAFTA–DR Agreement have 

determined are not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. The 

CAFTA–DR Agreement provides that 

this list may be modified pursuant to 

Article 3.25(4)–(5), when the President 

of the United States determines that a 

fabric, yarn, or fiber is not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. See 

Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; see also section 203(o)(4)(C) 

of the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act. 

The CAFTA–DR Implementation Act 

requires the President to establish 

procedures governing the submission of 

a request and providing opportunity for 

interested entities to submit comments 

and supporting evidence before a 

commercial availability determination is 

made. In Presidential Proclamations 

7987 and 7996, the President delegated 

to CITA the authority under section 

203(o)(4) of CAFTA–DR Implementation 

Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. 

Pursuant to this authority, on September 

15, 2008, CITA published modified 

procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list of products determined 

to not be commercially available in the 

territory of any Party to CAFTA–DR 

(Modifications to Procedures for 

Considering Requests Under the 

Commercial Availability Provision of 

the Dominican Republic-Central 

America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement, 73 FR 53200) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Program 

Evaluation of Financial Empowerment 

Training Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–XXXX. 

Type of Review: New collection 

(Request for a new OMB control 

number). 

Affected Public: 55 pilot trainers and 

880 case managers (financial 

empowerment professionals who 

participate in Bureau-sponsored training 

workshops). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

935. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 703. 

Abstract: The Bureau’s Office of 

Financial Empowerment 

(Empowerment) is responsible for 

developing strategies to improve the 

financial capability of low income and 

economically vulnerable consumers. 

The proposed collections will focus on 

evaluating (1) training practices and 

programs that are designed to enhance 

the ability of caseworkers to inform and 

educate low income consumers about 

managing their finances and strategies 

for making choices among available 

financial products and services 

available to them; (2) the evaluation tool 

that the trainers will use to determine 

the effectiveness of the training; and (3) 

the scope of workshop participants’ use 

of the training. The Bureau expects to 

collect qualitative data through paperbased surveys and focus groups. The 

information collected through 

qualitative evaluation methods will 

increase the Bureau’s understanding of 

what elements of training programs and 

practices can improve caseworker 

interaction with and assistance to their 

clients in ways that can improve 

outcomes for consumers, particularly 

those who have low incomes.

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on
