43862 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 140 / Monday, July 22, 2013 / Notices 

NMFS has determined that the marine 

mammal take resulting from the 2012– 

2013 launch operations falls within the 

levels previously anticipated, analyzed, 

and authorized. The record supports 

NMFS’ conclusion that the number of 

marine mammals taken by the 2013– 

2014 launch operations will have no 

more than a negligible impact on the 

affected species or stock of marine 

mammals and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of these species or stocks for 

taking for subsistence uses. 

Accordingly, NMFS has issued a 1-year 

LOA for launch operations conducted at 

the KLC from August 1, 2013, through 

July 31, 2014.

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

Proposed Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (CNCS), as part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposed 

renewal of the Grantee Progress Report 

(GPR). All AmeriCorps grantees are 

required to complete the GPR, which is 

due in October, and to complete an 

abbreviated mid-year GPR due in April. 

The GPR provides information for CNCS 

staff to monitor grantee progress and to 

respond to requests from Congress and 

other stakeholders. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the Addresses section 

of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by 

September 20, 2013.

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 

All AmeriCorps State and National 

grantees complete the GPR and mid-year 

GPR, which provides information for 

CNCS staff to monitor grantee progress 

and to respond to requests from 

Congress and other stakeholders. The 

information is collected electronically 

through the eGrants system. 

Current Action 

CNCS seeks to renew the current 

information collection. In 2013, 

AmeriCorps State and National 

developed a new eGrants module to 

collect performance measurement 

information during the application 

process. The GPR and mid-year GPR 

have been revised to collect information 

that is consistent with the new 

application module. In 2013, new and 

recompete applicants used the new 

module, but continuation applicants did 

not. Therefore, new and recompete 

grantees will complete the new GPR, 

while continuation grantees complete 

the existing GPR and mid-year GPR. The 

existing GPR and mid-year GPR have 

also been revised for clarity and 

consistency with the new GPR 

instructions. 

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the existing application. 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, 2014. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

Title: Grantee Progress Report. 

OMB Number: 3045–0101. 

Agency Number: None. 

Affected Public: AmeriCorps State 

and National grantees. 

Total Respondents: 154. 

Frequency: Biannual. 

Average Time per Response: 9 hours 

per submission. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,772. 

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. 

Dated: July 16, 2013.

Director, AmeriCorps State and National.
