regulations analyzed both 

methodologies and determined that 

non-explosive severance activities have 

little or no impact on the marine 

environment and would not result in an 

incidental take of marine mammals, 

though they are relatively timeconsuming and potentially harmful to 

human health and safety (primarily for 

divers). Due to the unlikelihood of take 

of marine mammals incidental to 

entanglement during EROS activities, 

the then Minerals Management Service 

(now the Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation, and 

Enforcement) did not request (nor did 

NMFS contemplate) MMPA 

authorization for take of marine 

mammals from entanglement in the 

EROS regulations. 

Due to the low predictability of an 

incident resulting in the mortality of a 

marine mammal from entanglement in a 

diver’s guide line, NMFS’s regulations 

for EROS do not address this aspect of 

the activity; nor is NMFS currently 

aware of any specific additional 

monitoring and mitigation measures to 

further reduce the likelihood of such an 

event, other than the recommendation 

to remove any unattended lines from the 

water column and/or keep guide lines 

taut (i.e., no slack) during EROS 

operations. NMFS may further explore 

monitoring and mitigation measures in 

the next rulemaking for EROS activities. 

In the meantime, NMFS will continue to 

monitor EROS activities and may 

recommend additional monitoring and 

mitigation measures to future LOA 

holders. 

Of note, ERT was in compliance with 

the mitigation and monitoring measures 

required by the regulations and LOA 

and provided the specific information 

outlined in the reporting section of the 

rule, as well as additional information. 

The unexpected dolphin mortality does 

not change the negligible impact and 

small numbers determinations in the 

regulations. 

Authorization 

Pursuant to these regulations, NMFS 

has issued an LOA to Energy Resource 

Technology GOM, Inc., Demex 

International, Inc., and Noble Energy, 

Inc. Issuance of the LOAs is based on a 

finding made in the preamble to the 

final rule that the total taking by these 

activities (with monitoring, mitigation, 

and reporting measures) will result in 

no more than a negligible impact on the 

affected species or stock(s) of marine 

mammals and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on 

subsistence uses. NMFS also finds that 

the applicant will meet the 

requirements contained in the 

implementing regulations and LOA, 

including monitoring, mitigation, and 

reporting requirements.

generic clearance Federal-wide: 

Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 

25,000. 

Average number of Respondents per Activity:

Annual Responses: 5,000,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per request.

Burden Hours: 2,500,000. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

No comments were received in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register of December 22, 

2010 (75 FR 80542). 

Below we provide Corporation for 

National and Community Service 

projected average estimates for the next 

three years: 1

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government.

Activities: 20.

Average Minutes per Response: 60. 

Burden Hours: 93,000.

non-medical counseling and advice 

services to active duty service members 

(ADSM), their families and members 

and their dependents enrolled in 

TRICARE Reserve Select, and those 

eligible for the Transition Assistance 

Management Program (TAMP) who 

reside in the continental United States.

more time to measure the effectiveness 

of the demonstration in meeting its goal 

of improving beneficiary access to 

behavioral health care by incorporating 

Web-based technology. 

DATES: Effective Date: This extension 

will be effective April 1, 2011. The 

demonstration project will continue

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

a. Background 

On page 431 of the House 

Appropriations Committee Print 

accompanying H.R. 2638, the 

Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act for FY 2009, Joint Explanatory 

Statement, it is noted: ‘‘An area of 

particular interest is the provision of 

appropriate and accessible counseling to 

service members and their families who 

live in locations that are not close to 

military treatment facilities, other MHS 

facilities, or TRICARE providers. Webbased delivery of counseling has 

significant potential to offer counseling 

to personnel who otherwise might not 

be able to access it. Therefore, the 

Department is directed to establish and 

use a Web-based Clinical Mental Health 

Services Program as a way to deliver 

critical clinical mental health services to 

service members and families in rural 

areas.’’ 

The TRICARE Assistance Program 

(TRIAP) demonstration, as outlined in 

74 FR 3667 July 24, 2009 launched 

August 1, 2009, to provide the 

capability for short-term, problem 

solving counseling between eligible 

beneficiaries and licensed counselors 

utilizing video technology and software 

such as Skype or iChat. Regional 

contractors were tasked with 

formulating and initiating the programs. 

TRIAP services are available 24/7 and 

ADSMs, their spouses of any age, and 

other family members 18 years of age or 

older who reside in the United States
