7158 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2022 / Notices 

B–WET has created an across-region, 

internal evaluation system to provide 

ongoing monitoring of program 

implementation and to identify 

opportunities for improved program 

outcomes. The evaluation system is 

maintained by B–WET staff with 

occasional assistance from an outside 

contractor. The evaluation system 

collects information from B–WET 

program-funded project participants. 

B–WET awardees of grants or 

cooperative agreements, and the 

awardees’ teachers who attend 

professional development programs 

provided by the awardees, are asked to 

voluntarily complete online survey 

forms to provide data for the evaluation 

system. Information collected from 

awardees includes program elements 

such as program duration, format, 

audience, location, support and/or 

materials offered, and topics covered. 

Information collected from teacher 

professional development participants 

includes teaching methodologies, 

program satisfaction, program coverage, 

suggestions for improvement, and 

teaching confidence. Information 

collected from teachers at the end of the 

school year following their participation 

in a professional development program 

includes time spent teaching topics 

covered in the professional 

development program, types of 

activities used with their students, 

teachers’ perceptions of student 

learning, and teaching practices 

utilized. One individual from each 

awardee organization is asked to 

complete a survey once per year of the 

award, and the teacher participants are 

asked to complete one survey at the end 

of their professional development 

program and another survey at the end 

of the following school year. Responses 

to the survey questions are aggregated 

and analyzed as part of ongoing 

evaluation efforts. 

Based on a review of annual 

evaluation system results, B–WET has 

made program improvements by 

adjusting its Federal Notice of Funding 

Opportunities and program guidelines. 

On-going data collection enables NOAA 

to monitor program implementation and 

outcomes on a regular basis and 

supports adaptive management of the 

program. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents submit their information 

electronically using a survey collection 

platform. 

III. Data

estimates that approximately 165 

awardees and 3,374 teachers will be

online survey in 60 minutes and 

teacher-respondents will complete two 

online surveys in 30 minutes each. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,539. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting 

costs.

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in

potential datasets and recommends 

which datasets are appropriate for 

assessment analyses. The assessment 

webinars produce a report that describes 

the fisheries, evaluates the status of the 

stock, estimates biological benchmarks, 

projects future population conditions, 

and recommends research and 

monitoring needs. The product of the 

Review Workshop is an Assessment 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data.
