etc.), and (3) suggest other metrics not described in the Final Biop that could be used to evaluate the efficacy of the action in ensuring the groundfish fisheries are not likely to adversely affect the survival and recovery of WDPS of the Steller sea lion.

CIE Panel Review

The CIE panel review will focus on Chapter 2 from the TORs. Persons or groups wishing to make a presentation to the CIE reviewers must submit a statement of interest with a brief (one page or less) abstract of the type of information to be presented. Presentations must address new scientific information germane to Steller sea lions and the groundfish fisheries that was not available before September 3, 2010. Persons or groups proposing to present information that does not fall within the TORs for the CIE review will not be invited to make presentations.

Due to the limited time available for the panel review, NMFS encourages individuals or groups that may have similar perspectives on the pertinent scientific information to coordinate their proposed presentations into subject specific panels to present the information effectively and minimize redundancy. For example, a panel could be comprised of several fishing industry representatives or several representatives of non-governmental organizations, with each participant addressing a different facet of the relevant information.

NMFS will review the statements of interest, abstracts, and proposed panels and, in consultation with the CIE reviewers, will schedule the presentations so as to focus on the most relevant scientific information of interest to the reviewers. The amount of time available per presenter or panel will depend on the number of persons and groups wishing to make presentations. NMFS will contact the proposed presenters in advance of the meeting to specify the amount of time available and the approximate schedule. During the meeting presenters may provide additional written information to the CIE reviewers for consideration, but the CIE reviewers are not obligated under the contract to review documents beyond those identified in the SOW.

More information on the CIE review, including the full SOW and TORs and all written materials for review identified in the SOW, is available on the NMFS Alaska Region Web site (see

**CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE** 

**Submission for OMB Emergency Review** 

**AGENCY :**  Corporation for National and Community Service. **ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Corporation for National and Community Service (hereinafter ‘‘CNCS’’), submitted the following information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 95) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). CNCS requested that OMB review and approve its emergency request by June 18, 2012, for a period of six months. A copy of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting Kimberly Spring, (202) 606–6629 or by email at kspring@cns.gov.

A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2012. This comment period ended May 29, 2012. One public comment was received to add a question to gather data on practices found to be effective in providing training and support specific to veterans who serve as national service participants. In response, CNCS had added a question to reflect this comment. CNCS has requested OMB’s approval of this emergency request by June 18, 2012, prior to the usual 30-day public comment and desk review periods. Therefore, there will be not enough time for the public to provide comments through this Federal Register Notice before the approval date. Type of Review: Emergency request. Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.

Title: Field Assessment of the Involvement of Veterans and Military Families in National Service.

OMB Number: None. Agency Number: None. Affected Public: Non-profit organizations and state, city/local, and tribal agencies.

Comments

Description: The 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which reauthorized CNCS, directed the agency to expand the participation of veterans and military families in national service and provide to Congress a study and report detailing the agency’s strategies, efforts, and results. In response, CNCS has worked to expand the quantity and quality of national service programs that involve these populations as both national service participants and service beneficiaries. The proposed information collection is intended to provide CNCS, its programs, and the national service field with information on the models and practices of national service programs and projects that engage and serve these populations. Through the study, CNCS will also begin to build an evidence base for documenting the effectiveness and impact of national service in this area. In addition, the data collection will provide critical information to CNCS that is needed to complete the Congressional report, which will document how the strategies undertaken by CNCS have enabled greater participation by veterans and how existing CNCS programs and activities could be improved to serve veterans and military families [Sec. 196C. (42 U.S.C. 12651k)]. The Congressional report is due prior to November, 2012. In an effort to be compliant with this Congressional requirement and maintain our ability to respond accurately and responsively to Congress on our activities related to veterans and military families, we are therefore submitting the information collection request under 5 CFR 1320.13 to OMB for emergency processing and approval of information collection activities.

The submission includes the interview protocol for existing CNCS grantees. The interviews will collect information on the models and strategies that national service programs and projects have developed and implemented to engage and serve veterans and military families. The aim of the study is to begin to build evidence of impact and isolate the unique value that national service brings to meeting the needs of these populations. Participation in the information collection is voluntary and will not be used in grant funding decisions.

If you have any questions, contact Kimberly Spring at 202–606–6629 or kspring@cns.gov.

Dated: June 5, 2012. Idara Nickelson, Chief of Program Operations.
