1Total hourly compensation for all civilian 

workers is estimated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics to be $43.26: Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation, June 2023, Table 1, 

Continued 

methods in an area to ensure that any 

limit on fishing-related mortality is not 

exceeded. The purpose of the Fisheries 

Act is to provide for the utilization of 

fisheries resources while ensuring 

sustainability. This means that the 

Minister does not have discretion to 

choose whether to act or not, but rather 

the Minister has authority to quickly 

enact additional prohibitions 

considered necessary to ensure the 

bycatch limit is not exceeded. 

The GNZ created a Ma ̄ui dolphin 

Threat Management Plan (TMP). The 

TMP provides clear objectives to ensure 

that government agencies are operating 

collectively. Some of the TMP objectives 

are: ensure that dolphin deaths arising 

from fisheries threats do not exceed the 

population sustainability threshold 

(PST) with 95 percent certainty, causes 

localized depletion, create substantial 

barriers to dispersal between 

subpopulations, and allow localized 

subpopulations to recover and/or 

remain at or above 80 percent of their 

unimpacted status with 95 percent 

certainty. The TMP is underpinned by 

the GNZs multi-species Spatially 

Explicit Fisheries Risk Assessment 

(SEFRA) model. The SEFRA model 

allows for improved statistical 

estimation of commercial fisheries risks 

to protected species. Specifically, the 

SEFRA model addresses the needs of 

fisheries managers in low information 

fisheries where observer coverage is low 

and protected species capture rates are 

rare to inform statistically robust 

capture estimates. 

Evidence of a Regulatory Plan To 

Reduce Bycatch Below the Bycatch 

Limit 

Based on IATC’s analysis, the GNZ’s 

regulatory program, including the 

fishery-specific area restrictions are 

comparable in effectiveness to U.S. 

standards. This regulatory program will 

result in Ma ̄ui dolphin bycatch below 

PBR and concentrate the fisheries 

restrictions in the areas with the greatest 

risk, specifically those areas where 

fishing activities overlap with the Ma ̄ui 

dolphin population. These restrictions, 

which are focused on the area that 

represents the greatest density of Ma ̄ui 

dolphins, virtually eliminates the 

bycatch risk from set-nets and 

significantly reduces the trawl bycatch 

risk for Ma ̄ui dolphins in this area. The 

additional restrictions at the northern 

and southern extent (tails of the 

population) of the Ma ̄ui dolphin 

distribution reduces the bycatch risk for 

the extreme ranges (smaller proportion). 

This is comparable to U.S. standards, 

which does not require that a Take 

Reduction Plan or the U.S. regulatory 

program eliminate 100 percent of the 

bycatch risk to a particular marine 

mammal stock. The U.S. regulatory 

program seeks to target the greatest 

percentage of risk in the areas with the 

greatest overlap of fishing and the 

marine mammal distribution and 

mitigate that bycatch risk below the 

bycatch limit for that specific marine 

mammal. 

As a result of these findings, NMFS 

announces the issuance of positive 

comparability findings that will allow 

the importation into the United States of 

fish and fish products harvested by New 

Zealand’s set-net and trawl fisheries 

operating off the West Coast North 

Island within the Ma ̄ui dolphin’s range.

most recent extension of approval will 

expire on January 31, 2024. On 

November 15, 2023, CPSC published a 

notice in the Federal Register to 

announce the agency’s intention to seek 

extension of approval of the collection 

of information. The Commission 

received no comments. Therefore, by 

publication of this notice, the 

Commission announces that CPSC has 

submitted to the OMB a request for 

extension of approval of that collection 

of information. 

DATES: Submit comments on the 

collection of information by February 

23, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 1314 of the 

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 

Reauthorization Act of 2022, Public Law 

117–103, div. W, 136 Stat. 840, 936–38 

(2022), requires the Secretary of 

Education, the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services, and the Attorney 

General to establish a joint interagency 

task force to be known as the ‘‘Task 

Force on Sexual Violence in Education’’ 

(hereinafter the Task Force) to provide 

information and recommendations, 

solicit information from relevant 

stakeholders, and create a plan to 

address sexual violence in education. 

The Biden-Harris Administration 

remains committed to preventing and 

responding to gender-based violence, 

including sexual violence in education, 

wherever it occurs and in all of its 

forms. 

Specifically, the Task Force is to 

provide recommendations to 

educational institutions on: establishing 

prevention and response teams; 

providing survivor resources, including 

health care, sexual assault kits, sexual 

assault nurse examiners, culturally 

responsive and inclusive standards of 

care, trauma-informed services, and 

access to confidential advocacy and 

support services; best practices on 

responses to and prevention of sexual 

violence and dating violence; sex 

education, as appropriate, training for 

school staff and various equitable 

discipline models; and culturally 

responsive and inclusive approaches to 

supporting survivors. The law defines 

‘‘educational institution’’ as ‘‘an 

institution of higher education, an 

elementary school, or a secondary 

school.’’ 

The VAWA Reauthorization Act also 

directs the Task Force to solicit periodic 

input from a diverse group of survivors, 

trauma specialists, advocates from 

national, State, and local anti-sexual 

violence advocacy organizations, 

institutions of higher education, and 

other public stakeholders. The goal of 

this request for information is to ensure 

the Task Force is receiving feedback and 

input from a diverse group of 

stakeholders. 

Solicitation of Comments: When 

responding to this RFI, please address 

one or more of the following questions. 

Please note if your responses refer to 

elementary, secondary, or 

postsecondary educational settings, or 

more than one. 

(1) What factors and best practices 

should educational institutions consider 

when establishing sexual assault 

prevention and response teams, 

including for online threats, harassment 

and intimidation, and other forms of 

technological abuse? 

(2) How can educational institutions 

best provide survivor resources, 

including health care, sexual assault 

kits, sexual assault nurse examiners, 

culturally responsive and linguistically 

inclusive standards of care, traumainformed services, academic supports, 

and access to confidential advocacy and 

support services? 

(3) What best practices should 

educational institutions consider for 

responding to and preventing sexual 

violence and dating violence on their 

campuses, including the online 

environment, and which may take into

educational level, size, and resources? 

(4) What factors should be considered 

as educational institutions develop or 

implement sex education programs, as 

appropriate, for students, training 

initiatives for school staff in sexual 

violence prevention, and equitably 

designed and applied discipline 

models? 

(5) What are culturally responsive and 

linguistically inclusive approaches to 

supporting survivors, which include 

consideration of race; ethnicity; national 

origin; limited English proficiency; 

religion; immigration status; lesbian,
