than November 5, 2021. 

Review Process and Evaluation Criteria 

Proposals will be evaluated by the 

Brennan Matching Fund Program 

Management Team. Submissions will be 

ranked based on the following criteria: 

1. Project justification (30 points)— 

This criterion ascertains whether there 

is intrinsic IOCM value in the proposed 

work and/or relevance to NOAA 

missions and priorities, including 

downstream partner proposals and uses. 

Use of, and reference to, national 

priorities on climate and infrastructure, 

NOMEC, ACMS and the Coast Survey 

Ocean Mapping Plan (all available at 

https://iocm.noaa.gov/about/strategicplans.html); gap assessment tools such 

as the U.S. Bathymetry Gap Analysis 

(https://iocm.noaa.gov/seabed-2030- 

bathymetry.html); and the U.S. 

Interagency Elevation Inventory (https:// 

catalog.data.gov/dataset/united-statesinteragency-elevation-inventory-usiei), 

among others, are recommended. Coast 

Survey’s Hydrographic Health Model 

showing priority survey areas for 

navigation safety is available upon 

request. The U.S. Federal Mapping 

Coordination site shows current Coast 

Survey and NGS mapping plans 

(fedmap.seasketch.org); email 

iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov for assistance 

with the layers on this site if needed. 

2. Statement of need (10 points)— 

This criterion assesses clarity of project 

need, partner project funding 

alternatives if not selected, anticipated 

outcomes and public benefit. 

3. Specified partner match (20 

points)—The proposal identifies a point 

of contact for the entity submitting the 

proposal, as well as any partnering 

entities, a clear statement on partner 

matching funds provenance (e.g., state 

appropriations, NGO funds, or other 

sources), and timing of funds 

availability. In-kind contributions are 

welcome to strengthen the proposal, but 

do not count toward the funding match 

and are not required. 

4. Project costs (15 points)—This 

criterion evaluates whether the 

proposed budget is realistic and 

commensurate with the proposed 

project needs and timeframe. If needed, 

please contact iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov 

for a rough estimate of cost per square 

nautical mile for surveys in a particular 

region; this figure will not be exact, as 

actual cost will be negotiated by region 

and scale of project. 

5. Project feasibility and flexibility (25 

points)—This criterion assesses the 

likelihood that the proposal would 

succeed based on survey conditions at 

the proposed time of year, such as 

project size, location, weather, NOAA 

analysis of environmental compliance 

implications, project flexibility and 

adaptability to existing NOAA plans 

and schedules, and other factors. 

During the proposal review period, 

NOAA reserves the right to engage with 

proposal points of contact to ask 

questions and provide feedback on 

project costs and feasibility. 

Management and Oversight 

Once selections are made, NOAA will 

coordinate the development of the 

memoranda of agreement, funding 

transfers, project planning, 

environmental compliance, acquisition 

awards and quality assurance process. 

NOAA may bring in additional partners 

and/or funding (Federal and/or nonFederal) to expand a project further if 

feasible. Projects will be reviewed by 

NOAA on an annual basis to ensure 

they are responsive to partner interests 

and NOAA mission requirements, and 

to identify opportunities for outreach 

and education on the societal benefits of 

the work.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension and 

revision of a current information 

collection. 

Participants in most federally 

managed fisheries in the NMFS 

Southeast Region are currently required 

to keep and submit catch and effort 

logbooks from their fishing trips. A 

subset of fishermen on these vessels also 

provides information on the species and 

quantities of fish, shellfish, marine 

turtles, and marine mammals that are 

caught and discarded or have interacted 

with the fishing gear. A subset of 

fishermen on these vessels also provides 

information about dockside prices, trip 

operating costs, and annual fixed costs. 

An intercept survey for vessels with 

Federal charter vessel/headboat permits 

is designed to support and validate the 

electronic logbooks. 

The data are used for scientific 

analyses that support critical 

conservation and management decisions 

made by national and international 

fishery management organizations. 

Interaction reports are needed for 

fishery management planning and to 

help protect endangered species and 

marine mammals. Price and cost data 

will be used in analyses of the economic 

effects of proposed and existing 

regulations. 

Regulatory Amendment 29 effective 

July 15, 2020 would require at least one 

descending device to be on board and 

ready for use on commercial, for-hire, 

and private recreational vessels while 

fishing for or possessing snappergrouper species in the South Atlantic.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 27, 2021 / Notices 40201 

Most recently the Descend Act was 

passed, which added a new section 321 

to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

This requires commercial and 

recreational fishermen to possess a 

venting tool or descending device that is 

rigged and ready for use when fishing 

for reef fish in the Gulf Exclusive 

Economic Zone. 

Descending devices increase 

survivability from barotrauma, which is 

injury caused by internal gas expansion 

when reeled up from depth. In addition 

to being asked to report the number of 

fish released respondents would be 

asked to report the number of fish 

released with descending devices as 

part of their current logbook 

submissions. The purpose of asking 

respondents to distinguish between fish 

releases without descending devices 

and fish released with descending 

devices is to provide data needed by 

NMFS to accurately account for fishing 

mortality when performing stock 

assessments. 

NMFS seeks to revise this collection 

to add an additional question to the 

recreational Headboat part of the 

collection to make it more consistent 

with the data collected through the 

commercial discard logbook. The new 

column (#DESCENDED) will be added 

to the (#KEPT) and (#RELEASED) 

columns that are currently on the form. 

This will provide fishermen an 

opportunity to report which unwanted 

fish will be released to the bottom of the 

ocean, providing them a better chance at 

survival. 

II. Method of Collection 

The information is submitted on 

paper forms and electronic 

transmissions. The intercept survey is 

collected through in-person interviews 

at verified landing locations.
