Release, and Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since 2006. 

In addition to vessel owners, at least 

one operator on board vessels issued a 

limited-access swordfish or shark 

permit that uses longline or gillnet gear 

is required to attend a Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshop 

and receive a certificate. Vessels that 

have been issued a limited-access 

swordfish or shark permit and that use 

longline or gillnet gear may not fish 

unless both the vessel owner and 

operator have valid workshop 

certificates onboard at all times. Vessel 

operators who have not already 

attended a workshop and received a 

NMFS certificate, or vessel operators 

whose certificate(s) will expire prior to 

their next fishing trip, must attend a 

workshop to operate a vessel with 

swordfish and shark limited-access 

permits on which longline or gillnet 

gear is used. 

Workshop Dates, Times, and Locations 

1. April 14, 2022, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., The 

Mainland Holiday Inn, 151 Rt. 72 East, 

Manahawkin, NJ 08050.

Registration 

To register for a scheduled Safe 

Handling, Release, and Identification 

Workshop, please contact Angler 

Conservation Education at (386) 682– 

0158. Pre-registration is highly 

recommended, but not required. 

Registration Materials 

To ensure that workshop certificates 

are linked to the correct permits, 

participants will need to bring the 

following specific items with them to 

the workshop: 

• Individual vessel owners must 

bring a copy of the appropriate 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), a copy 

of the vessel registration or 

documentation, and proof of 

identification; 

• Representatives of a businessowned or co-owned vessel must bring 

proof that the individual is an agent of 

the business (such as articles of 

incorporation), a copy of the applicable 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), and 

proof of identification; and 

• Vessel operators must bring proof of 

identification. 

Workshop Objectives 

The Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshops are designed 

to teach longline and gillnet fishermen 

the required techniques for the safe 

handling and release of entangled and/ 

or hooked protected species, such as sea 

turtles, marine mammals, smalltooth 

sawfish, Atlantic sturgeon, and 

prohibited sharks. In an effort to 

improve reporting, the proper 

identification of protected species and 

prohibited sharks will also be taught at 

these workshops. Additionally, 

individuals attending these workshops 

will gain a better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal of these 

workshops is to provide participants 

with the skills needed to reduce the 

mortality of protected species and 

prohibited sharks, which may prevent 

additional regulations on these fisheries 

in the future. 

Online Recertification Workshops 

NMFS implemented an online option 

for shark dealers and longline and 

gillnet fishermen to renew their 

certificates in December 2021. To be 

eligible for online recertification 

workshops, dealers and fishermen need 

to have previously attended an inperson workshop. Information about the 

courses is available online at https://

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/atlantic-highlymigratory-species/atlantic-sharkidentification-workshops and https://

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/atlantic-highlymigratory-species/safe-handling-releaseand-identification-workshops. To access

1For the purposes of this priority, ‘‘evidencebased practices’’ means practices that, at a

CFR 77.1), where a key project component included

Abstract: The Program for 

International Student Assessments 

(PISA) is an international assessment of 

15-year-olds, which focuses on 

assessing students’ reading, 

mathematics, and science literacy. PISA 

was first administered in 2000 and is 

typically conducted every three years. 

The United States has participated in all 

of the previous cycles and planned to 

participate in 2021 in order to track 

trends and to compare the performance 

of U.S. students with that of students in 

other education systems. PISA is 

sponsored by the Organization for 

Economic Cooperation and 

Development (OECD). In the United 

States, PISA is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), within the U.S. Department of 

Education. In each administration of 

PISA, one of the subject areas (reading, 

mathematics, or science literacy) is the 

major domain and has the broadest 

content coverage, while the other two 

subjects are the minor domains. PISA 

emphasizes functional skills that 

students have acquired as they near the 

end of mandatory schooling (aged 15 

years), and students’ knowledge and 

skills gained both in and out of school 

environments. The next administration 

of PISA will focus on mathematics 

literacy as the major domain. Reading 

and science literacy will also be 

assessed as minor domains, with 

additional assessment of financial 

literacy. In addition to the cognitive 

assessments described above, PISA 2022 

will include questionnaires 

administered to school principals and 

assessed students. To prepare for the 

main study, PISA countries will 

conduct a field test in the spring of the 

year previous, primarily to evaluate 

newly developed assessment and 

questionnaire items but also to test the 

assessment operations. The request to 

conduct PISA 2021 main study 

recruitment and field test was approved 

in December 2019 (OMB# 1850–0755 

v.23–24). This request: (1) Updates the 

package to reflect all of the changes 

made to respond to the global 

coronavirus pandemic, including 

delaying the field test that was 

previously scheduled for 2020 to 2021 

and the main study data collection to 

2022; (2) updates the field test 

recruitment materials and student 

video; (3) adds COVID–19 protocols; (4) 

replaces the state, district and school 

letters for the 2021 field test and 2022 

main study; and (5) adds coronavirus 

pandemic-related items in the school 

and student questionnaires.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Technical Assistance and 

Dissemination to Improve Services and 

Results for Children with Disabilities 

program is to promote academic 

achievement and to improve results for 

children with disabilities by providing 

technical assistance (TA), supporting 

model demonstration projects, 

disseminating useful information, and 

implementing activities that are 

supported by scientifically based 

research. 

Priority: This competition includes 

one absolute priority. In accordance 

with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(v), this 

priority is from allowable activities 

specified in the statute (see sections 663 

and 681(d) of the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); 20 

U.S.C. 1463 and 1481(d)). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2022 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applications from this competition, this 

priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 

CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only 

applications that meet this priority. 

This priority is: 

Early Childhood Systems Technical 

Assistance Center. 

Background: 

Improving educational outcomes for 

children with disabilities is an essential 

element of our national policy of 

ensuring equality of opportunity, full 

participation, independent living, and 

economic self-sufficiency for 

individuals with disabilities. Infants, 

toddlers, and preschool children (young 

children) with disabilities and their 

families need equitable learning 

opportunities that help them achieve 

their full potential as engaged learners 

and contributing members of society. 

Enhancing equity for young children 

with disabilities requires early 

childhood systems that support 

equitable identification for IDEA 

services and equitable access to highquality, inclusive early childhood 

programs, and evidence-based 1 and
