the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on 08/16/2024 

during a 60-day comment period. This 

notice allows for an additional 30 days 

for public comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

Title: Coastal Ocean Program Grants 

Proposal Application Package. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0384. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Revision and 

Extension of a current information 

collection. 

Number of Respondents: 1,400. 

Average Hours Per Response: 30 

minutes each for a project summary, 

data management template, milestone 

Gantt chart and current and pending 

federal support; 5.5 hours for a semiannual report; 5 hours for an annual 

report, 10 hours for a CRP final report, 

10.5 hours for the RSP final report.

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. The 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s Coastal Ocean Program 

(COP) now known as the Competitive 

Research Program (CRP) under the 

National Centers for Coastal Ocean 

Science provides direct financial 

assistance through grants and 

cooperative agreements for research 

supporting the management of coastal 

ecosystems and the NOAA Restore 

Science Program. The statutory 

authority for COP is Public Law 102– 

567 sec. 201 (Coastal Ocean Program). 

NOAA was authorized to establish and 

administer the Restore Science Program, 

in consultation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, by the Resources and 

Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist 

Opportunities, and Revived Economies 

(RESTORE) of the Gulf States Act of 

2012 (Pub. L. 112–141, sec. 1604). 

Identified in the RESTORE Act as the 

Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration

commonly known as the NOAA 

RESTORE Science Program (RSP). In 

addition to standard government 

application requirements, applicants for 

financial assistance are required to 

submit a project summary form, current 

and pending form and a Data 

Management form template for both 

programs. The Data Management form 

template is an addition to the

is a required element of the application 

package and the use of this form the will 

reduce the public burden by providing 

a specific format instead of requiring 

each applicant to create their own 

format. The Key Contacts form has been 

removed from the collection. CRP 

recipients are required to file annual 

progress reports and a project final 

report using CRP formats. The RSP 

recipients are required to file 

semiannual progress reports, a final 

report and a Gantt chart showing project 

milestones using RSP formats. All of 

these requirements are needed for better 

evaluation of proposals and monitoring 

of awards.
