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 

ADDRESSES).

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

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. 

Total Respondents: 100. 

Frequency: One time. 

Average Time per Response: 50

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.

Chief of Program Operations.
