For-hire fishing effort is estimated in 

numbers of angler-trips per sub-region, 

state, two-month wave, vessel type, and 

fishing area (inshore, nearshore, 

offshore). To get a total for-hire effort 

estimate, weekly FHS effort estimates 

are summed to produce wave estimates 

that are adjusted to account for frame 

coverage and reporting error. The FHS 

estimates are then combined with forhire catch-rate estimates derived from 

complementary Marine Recreational 

Information Program (MRIP) surveys, to 

estimate total, state-level fishing catch. 

These estimates are used in the 

development, implementation, and 

monitoring of fishery management 

programs by the NMFS, regional fishery 

management councils, interstate marine 

fisheries commissions, and state fishery 

agencies. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens

Title of Collection: Study of District 

and School Uses of Federal Education 

Funds. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0951. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 250. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,630. 

Abstract: Federal funds account for 

less than 10 percent of K–12 education 

spending nationally but can play an 

important role, particularly in 

communities that are lower-income or 

have lower-performing schools. 

Although each federal education 

program has unique goals and 

provisions, they often allow funds to be 

used for similar purposes and services 

or overlapping populations. Congress 

provided state and local education 

agencies greater flexibility in their use 

of federal funds through the 2015 

reauthorization of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA). As 

the COVID–19 pandemic began to 

disrupt schools in 2020, Congress also 

created new programs to provide 

funding and flexibilities for states and 

districts to respond to the emergency. 

Because policymakers remain interested 

in how federal dollars are spent, this 

study will examine the distribution and 

use of pandemic relief funds and 

explore the possibility of examining 

those issues for five ‘‘core’’ federal 

education programs that represent the 

vast share of the Department’s K–12 

grant making: Part A of Titles I, II, III, 

and IV of ESEA, and Title I, Part B of 

the Individuals with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA).

Reliability Standards: IRO Reliability 

Standards, and FERC–725A(1D), 

Mandatory Reliability Standards for the 

Bulk-Power System Reliability 

Standards (TOP–003–6.1). 

Action: Proposed Changes to 

Collections. 

OMB Control Nos.: 1902–0276 (FERC– 

725Z); 1902–0324 (FERC–725A(1D)). 

Type of Request: Modification of the 

FERC–725Z and FERC–725A(1D) 

information collection requirements. 

Abstract: On 9/21/2023, the North 

American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC) filed a petition on 

the proposed Modifications to 

Reliability Standards IRO–010 and 

TOP–003 to improve the approaches 

used for data and information 

specification and exchange by, among 

other things: (i) clarifying that 

specifications include both data and 

information; (ii) requiring the 

identification of the applicable entity 

that is required to respond to the request 

for the specification; (iii) including a 

data conflict resolution provision within 

the data specification requirement; (iv) 

clarifying that specifications should 

include protocols to address periodicity, 

performance criterion, and update and 

correction mechanisms; and (v) 

consolidating the format and security 

protocols within the data specification 

requirements. 

The proposed Modifications to FERC– 

725Z for IRO–010–5 and FERC– 

725A(1D) for TOP–003–6.1, address 

recommendations arising from the SER 

Phase 2 Team by clarifying, 

consolidating, and improving 

approaches for data and information 

specification and exchange. The 

proposed revisions are intended to 

advance the reliability of the BulkPower System (‘‘BPS’’) by ensuring that 

Registered Entities with operational 

responsibilities are able to request and 

receive the data and information 

necessary to support Operational
