SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The objectives of the National Sea

Grant College Program are to increase

the understanding, assessments,

development, utilization, and

conservation of the Nation’s ocean,

coastal, and Great Lakes resources. It

accomplishes these objectives by

conducting research, education, and

outreach programs. The law provides for

the designation of an institution of

higher education as a Sea Grant College,

and for the designation of regional

consortia, institutes, laboratories, or

state or local agencies as Sea Grant

Programs if they are pursuing these

same objectives. Fellowships may also

be awarded for marine policy

fellowships. Applications must be

submitted for such designations or

fellowships.

Grant monies are available for funding

activities that help obtain the objectives

of the Sea Grant Program. Both single

and multi-project grants are awarded,

with the latter representing about 80

percent of the total grant program. In

addition to the SF-424 and other

standard grant application

requirements, three additional forms are

required with a grant application. These

are the Sea Grant Control Form, used to

identify the organizations and personnel

who would be involved in the grant; the

Project Record Form, which collects

summary date on projects; and the Sea

Grant Budget, used in place of the SF

424a or 424c.

II. Method of Collection

Responses are made in a variety of

formats, including forms and narrative

paper submissions. The Project Record

Form must be submitted in electronic

format. The Sea Grant Budget form may

be submitted electronically.

www.cpsc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

4(j) of the Consumer Product Safety Act

(CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2053(j)) requires the

Commission to establish an agenda for

action under the laws it administers,

and, to the extent feasible, to select

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 25, 2001 / Notices 20791

priorities for action at least 30 days

before the beginning of each fiscal year.

Section 4(j) of the CPSA provides

further that before establishing its

agenda and priorities, the Commission

shall conduct a public hearing and

provide an opportunity for the

submission of comments.

The Office of Management and Budget

requires all Federal agencies to submit

their budget requests 13 months before

the beginning of each fiscal year. The

Commission is formulating its budget

request for fiscal year 2003, which

begins on October 1, 2002. This budget

request must reflect the contents of the

agency’s strategic plan developed under

GPRA.

Accordingly, the Commission will

conduct a public hearing on June 7,

2001, to receive comments from the

public concerning its agenda and

priorities for fiscal year 2003. The

Commissioners desire to obtain the

views of a wide range of interested

persons including consumers;

manufacturers, importers, distributors,

and retailers of consumer products;

members of the academic community;

consumer advocates; and health and

safety officers of state and local

governments.

The Commission is charged by

Congress with protecting the public

from unreasonable risks of injury

associated with consumer products. The

Commission enforces and administers

the Consumer Product Safety Act (15

U.S.C. 2051 et seq.); the Federal

Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C.

1261 et seq.); the Flammable Fabrics Act

(15 U.S.C. 1191 et seq.); the Poison

Prevention Packaging Act (15 U.S.C.

1471 et seq.); and the Refrigerator Safety

Act (15 U.S.C. 1211 et seq.). Standards

and regulations issued under provisions

of those statutes are codified in the Code

of Federal Regulations, title 16, chapter

II.

While the Commission has broad

jurisdiction over products used by

consumers, its staff and budget are

limited. Section 4(j) of the CPSA

expresses Congressional direction to the

Commission to establish an agenda for

action each fiscal year and, if feasible,

to select from that agenda some of those

projects for priority attention. These

priorities are reflected in the current

strategic plan.

Persons who desire to make oral

presentations at the hearing on June 7,

Hammond, Office of the Secretary,

Consumer Product Safety Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20207, telephone

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Information Collection; Submission for

OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

and Community Service (hereinafter the

‘‘Corporation’’) has submitted a public

information collection request (ICR) to

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval in

accordance with the Paper Reduction

Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). Copies of this ICR, with

applicable supporting documentation,

may be obtained by calling the

Corporation for National and

Community Service, Levon Buller, at

(202) 606–5000, extension 383.

Individuals who use a

telecommunications device for the deaf

(TTY–TDD) may call (800) 833–3722

between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Eastern Standard Time, Monday

through Friday.

Comments should be sent to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Attn: Ms. Brenda Aguilar, OMB

Desk Officer for the Corporation for

National and Community Service, Office

of Management and Budget, Room

10235, Washington, DC, 20503, (202)

395–7316, within 30 days from the date

of publication in this Federal Register.

The OMB is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Corporation, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Propose ways to enhance the

quality, utility and clarity of the

information to be collected; and

• Propose ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

An ICR document has been submitted

to OMB for consideration. The Voucher

and Payment Request Form (OMB

Number 3045–0030) is a proposed

revision to an earlier OMB-approved

form. This is the document by which

AmeriCorps members access the

education awards that they have earned

by serving in a national service position.

The document was published in the

Federal Register on January 5, 2001, for

a 60-day pre-clearance public comment

period. Two organizations requested

copies of the document; one represented

a financial aid office at a university and

the other represented a loan servicing

organization. Only the university

presented comments on the form. One

of the suggestions was incorporated into

the versions now being presented to

OMB for consideration. The other

suggestion was not included mainly due

to space considerations and the

Corporation’s belief that the information

was asked for in another form.

Voucher and Payment Request Form

Type of Review: Renewal.

Agency: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

Title: Voucher and Payment Request

Form.

OMB Number: OMB #3045–0014.

Agency Number: None.

Affected Public: AmeriCorps members

who have completed a term of national

service and who wish to access their

education awards.

Total Respondents: 55,000 responses

annually (estimated annual average over

the next three years).

Frequency: Experience has shown that

some AmeriCorps members may never
