Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 115 / Thursday, June 17, 2021 / Notices 32249 

made a preliminary determination that 

an Exempted Fishing Permit application 

from the Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center contains all the required 

information and warrants further 

consideration. Regulations under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act and 

the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries 

Cooperative Management Act require 

publication of this notice to provide 

interested parties the opportunity to 

comment on applications for proposed 

Exempted Fishing Permits. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 2, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit written 

comments by the following method: 

• Email: NMFS.GAR.EFP@noaa.gov. 

Include in the subject line ‘‘Comments 

on NEFSC Ropeless Fishing EFP.’’ If you 

are unable to submit comments via the 

above email, please contact Laura 

Hansen at (978) 281–9225, or email at

Specialist, (978) 281–9225. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Northeast Fisheries Science Center 

(NEFSC) submitted a complete 

application for an Exempted Fishing 

Permit (EFP) on February 19, 2021, to 

continue a ropeless lobster gear testing 

project. NEFSC is requesting an 

exemption from Federal lobster 

regulations that would authorize eight 

federally-permitted commercial lobster 

vessels to participate in a ropeless 

lobster gear study in inshore and 

offshore areas. NEFSC is requesting an 

exemption from the gear marking 

requirements at 50 CFR 697.21(b)(2) to 

allow for the use of no surface markers 

and/or a single buoy marker on a trawl 

of more than three traps. 

The purpose of this study is to test a 

prototype ropeless fishing system as a 

potential technique to prevent 

entanglements of protected species, 

primarily North Atlantic right whales. 

The EFP would authorize eight 

participating vessels to modify some of 

their existing trawls, consisting of 10–20 

traps for inshore vessels and 35–45 traps 

for offshore vessels. Experimental trawls 

would either have a rope spool, a buoy 

and stowed rope system, or a lift bag 

system fitted with an acoustic release, 

deployed on one end of the trawl with 

a buoy line attached to the other. Soak 

time would be between 4–8 days, but 

may be modified depending on what 

each fisherman decides is appropriate 

for fishing. Sampling would occur yearround from July 2021 through July 2022 

inshore and offshore in Lobster 

Management Areas (LMA) 1, 2, 3, and 

Outer Cape. This phase of the project is 

intended to resolve mechanical and 

operational problems highlighted by 

previous trials. Ideally, a NEFSC 

technician will be on board. If not, 

participants will use a GoPro System or 

an equivalent (or better) electronic 

monitoring program aimed at the 

relevant area to record the success and/ 

or failures of some or all of the retrievals 

for review at a later time. NEFSC 

estimated there would be approximately 

30 trips. Sixteen experimental trawls 

will be tested in LMA 3, 12 trawls in 

LMA 2, and 16 trawls in LMA 1. 

If approved, the applicant may 

request minor modifications and 

extensions to the EFP throughout the 

year. We may grant EFP modifications 

and extensions without further notice if 

they are deemed essential to facilitate 

completion of the proposed research 

and have minimal impacts that do not 

change the scope or impact of the 

initially approved EFP request. The EFP 

would prohibit any fishing activity 

conducted outside the scope of the 

exempted fishing activities.

Abstract: The AmeriCorps Seniors 

Grant Application is for use by 

prospective and existing sponsors of 

AmeriCorps Seniors projects under the 

AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (RSVP), 

AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent 

Program (FGP), AmeriCorps Seniors 

Senior Companion Program (SCP), and 

AmeriCorps Seniors Demonstration 

Project (SDP). The Project Progress 

Report, Project Progress Report Lite, and 

Project Report Supplement will be used 

to report progress toward accomplishing 

work plan goals and objectives, 

reporting volunteer and service outputs, 

reporting actual outcomes related to 

self-nominated performance measures, 

meeting challenges encountered, 

describing significant activities, and 

requesting technical assistance. The 

Application Instructions and PPR, PPRLite, and PRS forms in this package 

conform to eGrants. AmeriCorps’ webbased electronic grants management 

system. The SCP Independent Living 

Survey and SCP Respite Survey 

instruments collect information from a 

sample of Senior Companion clients and 

caregivers. The purpose of the surveys 

is to assess the feasibility of conducting 

a longitudinal, quasi-experimental 

evaluation of the impact of independent 

living and respite services on clients’ 

social ties and perceived social support. 

The results of the surveys may also be 

used to inform the feasibility of using a 

similar instrument to measure client 

and caregiver outcomes for an 

evaluation of RSVP. AmeriCorps also 

seeks to continue using the currently 

approved information collection until 

the revised information collection is 

approved by OMB. The currently 

approved information collection is due 

to expire on 12/31/21. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop,

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search
