years, after notification and opportunity 

for public comment, if NMFS finds that 

the taking will have a negligible impact 

on the species or stock(s), will not have 

an unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant), and if 

the permissible methods of taking and 

requirements pertaining to the 

mitigation, monitoring and reporting of 

such takings are set forth. NMFS has 

defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 

216.103 as ‘‘ . . . an impact resulting 

from the specified activity that cannot 

be reasonably expected to, and is not 

reasonably likely to, adversely affect the 

species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

Regulations governing the take of six 

species of marine mammals, by Level B 

harassment, and the take of one species 

by Level A harassment, serious injury, 

or mortality incidental to operation of 

the Northstar development in the 

Beaufort Sea, Alaska, were issued on 

December 12, 2013 (78 FR 75488). These 

regulations are effective from January 

13, 2014, through January 14, 2019 (78 

FR 75488, December 12, 2013). The 

species which are authorized for taking 

by Level B harassment are: Bowhead, 

gray, and beluga whales and ringed, 

bearded, and spotted seals. BP is also 

authorized to take five individual ringed 

seals by injury or mortality annually 

over the course of the 5-year rule. For 

detailed information on this action, 

please refer to the final rule (78 FR 

75488, December 12, 2013). These 

regulations include mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

for the incidental take of marine 

mammals during operation and 

maintenance activities at the BP 

Northstar development facility. 

This LOA is effective from January 13, 

2014, through January 14, 2019, and 

authorizes the incidental take of the six 

marine mammal species listed above 

that may result from operations, 

including maintenance activities, at the 

BP Northstar development in the U.S. 

Beaufort Sea. 

Potential effects of BP’s operation of 

the Norsthar development involve both 

acoustic and non-acoustic effects. 

Potential non-acoustic effects could 

result from the physical presence of 

personnel, structures and equipment, 

construction or maintenance activities, 

and the occurrence of oil spills. Ice road 

construction may also impact ringed 

seals. A major oil spill is unlikely. 

Potential acoustic effects could result 

from island construction, maintenance, 

and drilling, as well as vehicles 

operating on the ice, vessels, aircraft, 

generators, production machinery, gas 

flaring, and camp operations. Marine 

mammals may experience masking and 

behavioral disturbance. 

Take of marine mammals will be 

minimized through the implementation 

of the following mitigation measures: (1) 

Surveying with specially-trained dogs if 

any ice road or construction activities 

occur after March 1 in previously 

undisturbed areas in waters deeper than 

10 ft (3 m) in order to identify and avoid 

ringed seal structures by a minimum of 

492 ft (150 m); (2) scheduling all nonessential boat, hovercraft, barge, and air 

traffic to avoid periods when whales 

(especially bowhead whales) are 

migrating through the area; (3) 

maintaining a minimum altitude of 

1,000 ft (305 m) and specific corridor 

from Seal Island to the mainland for all 

helicopter flights, except when limited 

by weather or personnel safety or during 

takeoffs and landings; (4) establishing 

exclusion zones for cetaceans and 

pinnipeds of 180 and 190 dB re 1 mPa 

(rms), respectively, when impact pile 

driving activities will occur; (5) shutting 

down impact pile driving activities if 

marine mammals enter the applicable 

exclusion zones; and (6) no new drilling 

into oil-bearing strata during either 

open-water or spring-time broken ice 

conditions. In addition to these 

mitigation measures, BP has an oil spill 

prevention and contingency plan in 

place, which was developed and 

approved by the Alaska Department of 

Environmental Conservation, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, U.S. 

Coast Guard, and the former Minerals 

Management Service. Additionally, the 

rule includes an adaptive management 

component that allows for timely 

modification of mitigation or monitoring 

measures based on new information, 

when appropriate. 

Through this LOA, BP is required to 

monitor for marine mammals using both 

visual observers and passive acoustic 

monitoring systems. BP is required to 

submit an annual report to NMFS by 

June 1 of each year. The report will 

include data collected from the visual 

and acoustic monitoring program during 

the period of November 1 through 

October 31 each year. Additional 

information on the mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

can be found in the final rule (78 FR 

75488, December 12, 2013). BP is also 

required to submit a comprehensive 

report, which shall provide full 

documentation of methods, results, and 

interpretation of all monitoring during 

the period of effectiveness of this LOA.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 13 / Tuesday, January 21, 2014 / Notices 3349 

1The Bureau allocated half of the Federal Trade 

Commission (FTC) burden amount after subtracting 

the burden which the FTC has attributed to itself 

for motor vehicle dealers. Section 1029 of the DoddFrank Act exempts certain motor vehicle dealers 

from the Bureau’s enforcement authority. However, 

due to the difficulty of making a reliable estimate 

of those dealers, the FTC has attributed to itself the 

PRA burden for all motor vehicle dealers. This 

attribution does not change the actual enforcement 

authority of either the FTC or the CFPB. 

Title of Collection: Fair Credit 

Reporting Act (Regulation V) 12 CFR 

Part 1022. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0002. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Private sector. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

155.1

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,156,000. 

Abstract: The consumer disclosures 

included in Regulation V are designed 

to alert consumers that a financial 

institution furnished negative 

information about them to a consumer 

reporting agency, that they have a right 

to opt out of receiving marketing 

materials and credit or insurance offers, 

that their credit report was used in 

setting the material terms of credit that 

may be less favorable than the terms 

offered to consumers with better credit 

histories, that they maintain certain 

rights with respect to a theft of their 

identity that they reported to a 

consumer reporting agency, that they 

maintain rights with respect to knowing 

what is in their consumer reporting 

agency file, that they can request a free 

credit report, and that they can report a 

theft of their identity to the CFPB. 

Consumers then can use the information 

provided to consider how and when to 

check and use their credit reports. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau 

issued a 60-day Federal Register notice 

on July 25, 2013 [78 FR 44930]. 

Comments were solicited and continue 

to be invited on: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary

Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methods and the 

assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record.

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (CNCS), as part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed.

advantage in the job market that may be 

conferred by AmeriCorps experience. 

Collection of this data is not required for 

obtaining grant funding support from 

CNCS. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by 

March 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

of the analysis will inform CNCS policy 

at large, programming content and 

policy, and further lines of research 

around economic outcomes of national 

service members. 

This is a new information collection 

request. This study would administer a 

15 minute, online survey to a sample of 

managers with hiring authority in the 

public, private, and non-profit sectors. 

The survey consists of a section 

comprised of experimental questions 

regarding managers’ hiring preferences 

when considering applicant skill and 

experience profiles, and a section of 

demographic questions. 

Type of Review: New.
