Abstract: EDMAP is the educational 

component of the National Cooperative 

Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) 

that is intended to train the next 

generation of geologic mappers. The 

primary objective of the STATEMAP 

component of the NCGMP is to establish 

the geologic framework of areas that are 

vital to the welfare of individual States. 

The NCGMP EDMAP program 

allocates funds to colleges and 

universities in the United States and 

Puerto Rico through an annual 

competitive cooperative agreement 

process. Every Federal dollar awarded is 

matched with university funds. 

Geology professors, who are skilled in 

geologic mapping, request EDMAP 

funding to support undergraduate and 

graduate students at their college or 

university in a one-year mentored 

geologic mapping project that focuses 

on a specific geographic area. 

Only State Geological Surveys are 

eligible to apply to the STATEMAP 

component of the NCGMP pursuant to 

the National Geologic Mapping Act 

(Pub. L. 106–148). Since many State 

Geological Surveys are organized under 

a state university system, such 

universities may submit a proposal on 

behalf of the State Geological Survey. 

Each fall, the program announcements 

are posted to the Grants.gov website and 

respondents are required to submit 

applications (comprising Standard Form 

424, 424A, 424B, Proposal Summary 

Sheet, the Proposal, and Budget Sheets. 

Additionally, EDMAP proposals must 

include a Negotiated Rate Agreement 

and a Support letter from a State 

Geologist or USGS Project Chief). 

Since 1996, more than $10 million 

from the NCGMP has supported 

geologic mapping efforts of more than 

1,335 students at 171 universities in 44 

states, the District of Columbia, and 

Puerto Rico. Funds for graduate projects 

are limited to $25,000 and 

undergraduate project funds limited to 

$15,000. These funds are used to cover 

field expenses and student salaries, but 

not faculty salaries or tuition. The 

authority for both programs is listed in 

the National Geologic Mapping Act 

(Pub. L. 106–148). 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ 

Responses are voluntary. No questions 

of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.

Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program 

(NCGMP–EDMAP and STATEMAP). 

OMB Control Number: 1028–0088.

State Geological Survey respondents. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: Total number of responses is 

185. Approximately 95 University or 

College faculty and 90 State Geological 

Survey responses. 

Estimated Completion Time per

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 5,220 hours total. 

Respondent’s Obligation None. 

Participation is voluntary, though 

necessary to receive funding. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour 

Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘non-hour 

cost’’ burdens associated with this IC. 

An agency may not conduct, or 

sponsor and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

Indian Gaming; Approval by Operation 

of Law of Tribal-State Class III Gaming 

Compact in the State of Florida 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the 

approval by operation law of the 

Compact Between the Seminole Tribe of 

Florida (Tribe) and the State of Florida 

(State). 

DATES: The compacts take effect on 

August 11, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of Indian 

Gaming, Mailstop 3543, 1849 C Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20240, telephone 

(202) 219–4066, paula.hart@bia.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, 

25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., (IGRA) provides 

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 

with 45 days to review and approve or 

disapprove a Tribal-State compact 

governing the conduct of class III 

gaming activity on the Tribe’s Indian 

lands. 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8). If the 

Secretary does not approve or 

disapprove a Tribal-State compact 

within the 45 days, IGRA provides that 

the Tribal-State compact is considered 

to have been approved by the Secretary 

but only to the extent the compact is 

consistent with IGRA. 25 U.S.C. 

2710(d)(8)(C). The IGRA also requires 

the Secretary of the Interior to publish 

in the Federal Register notice of 

approved Tribal-State compacts for the 

purpose of engaging in Class III gaming 

activities on Indian lands. 25 U.S.C. 

2710(d)(8(D). The Department’s 

regulations at 25 CFR 293.4, require all 

compacts and amendments to be 

reviewed and approved by the Secretary 

prior to taking effect. The Secretary took 

no action on the Compact between the 

Tribe and the State. Therefore, the 

Compact is considered to have been 

approved, but only to the extent it is 

consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 

2710(d)(8)(C).

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary—Indian 

Affairs.
