regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), and the Fur Seal Act of 1966, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.). 

The applicant proposes to conduct 

unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and 

manned aerial surveys in Kamishak Bay, 

Alaska to collect baseline seasonal 

abundance and distribution data on 

marine mammals. The applicant 

proposes to take marine mammals 

during aerial surveys for behavioral 

observations, photography, counts, and 

videography. The applicant requests the 

annual take of 12 species: 1,050 

endangered Western DPS Steller sea 

lions (Eumetopias jubatus), 150 

endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales 

(Delphinapterus leucas), 10,139 harbor

Western North Pacific DPS, threatened 

Mexico DPS, or Hawaii DPS, and two

be valid for five years from the date of 

issuance. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to

Comments 

A 60-day Notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on Monday, March 12, 2018 on 

page 10714. This comment period 

ended May 11, 2018. Zero public 

comments were received from this 

Notice. 

Description: The Corporation for 

National and Community Service 

(CNCS) has procured a Learning 

Management System (LMS) to enhance 

training and technical assistance at the 

agency. The Office of Research and 

Evaluation (ORE) is using this tool to 

enhance existing methods of teaching 

and learning about program evaluation 

and research topics. ORE has 

programmed 12 Evaluation Core 

Curriculum courses on the LMS for 

users to explore interactively. In order 

to enhance the utility of the courses, 

ORE would like implement ‘‘knowledge 

checks’’ in the form of topically focused 

pre/post-test questions so that 

participants can identify knowledge 

gaps that need to be addressed with 

further learning. This will also enable 

ORE to see where common learning 

issues arise, and where additional 

resources should be targeted. CNCS also 

seeks to continue using the currently 

approved pre/post-test questions, which 

were cleared under a generic clearance, 

until the current information collection 

is approved by OMB. The currently 

approved information collection expired 

on October, 31, 2017. 

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, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

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 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. All written comments will 

be available for public inspection on 

regulations.gov. 

CNCS seeks to renew the current 

information. CNCS also seeks to 

continue using the current application 

until the revised application is 

approved by OMB. The current 

application is due to expire on October, 

31, 2017.
