conservation and management actions 

or will be met by proposed actions. 

OMB approved the Generic Clearance 

for Economic Surveys of the 

Commercial & Charter Harvesting 

Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries. 

It did that in recognition that by 

providing relevant economic data, the 

fishery specific information collections, 

which NMFS will conduct under that 

generic clearance, will increase the 

ability of NMFS and the Regional 

Fishery Management Councils to 

monitor, explain and predict changes in 

the economic performance and impacts 

of federally managed fisheries. 

Therefore, those information collections 

will allow better-informed fishery 

conservation and management 

decisions, which will benefit the 

Nation. With OMB’s approval of the 

Mariana Archipelago Small Boat Fishery 

Economic Data Collection, NMFS will 

collect such economic date for that 

specific fishery.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Secretary of Commerce 

established MCAM in November 2022, 

to advise the Under Secretary of 

Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere 

(Under Secretary) on science-based 

approaches to area-based protection, 

conservation, restoration, and 

management in coastal and marine 

areas, including the Great Lakes. The 

scope of MCAM’s advice includes, but 

is not limited to, efforts consistent with 

the America the Beautiful initiative, 

called for by section 216(a) of Executive 

Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate 

Crisis at Home and Abroad, as well as 

other relevant issues that may be

II. Charter Renewal 

In accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, as amended 

(FACA; 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), the 

Secretary of Commerce has determined 

that the renewal of the charter for 

MCAM is in the public interest. The 

MCAM will function solely as an 

advisory body and in compliance with 

provisions of FACA. Copies of the 

MCAM’s revised charter have been filed 

with the appropriate committees of the 

Congress and with the Library of 

Congress. The charter can be accessed

Title of Collection: Schools of 

National Service Commitment Form.

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Schools of National 

Service initiative, formerly the Segal 

Education Award Matching Program, 

helps higher education and postsecondary institutions connect with 

AmeriCorps alumni. To qualify as a 

School of National Service, the 

institution must complete a 

commitment form, committing to 

provide one or more incentives to 

AmeriCorps members and alumni 

seeking to attend their institution. This 

collection allows AmeriCorps and the 

institution to enhance the educational 

opportunities available to AmeriCorps 

alumni because of their service. 

AmeriCorps is seeking to revise the 

commitment form to add checkbox 

options for career and technical 

education (CTE) and other program 

types the institution may offer; add 

checkbox options for whether programs 

are offered online, in person, or both; 

and add a field for the institution to 

indicate whether it offers benefits to 

senior citizens and at what age 

eligibility begins. The revision would 

also delete the entry for the percentage 

of education award that the institution 

will match for AmeriCorps alumni it 

accepts for admission to the institution. 

AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using 

the currently approved information 

collection until the revised information 

collection is approved by OMB. The 

currently approved information 

collection is due to expire on March 31, 

2025. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (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; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. All written comments will 

be available for public inspection on 

regulations.gov.
