assessment of impacts of its timber 

harvest, silviculture, and road 

management activities in the Clackamas 

River and Molalla River basins of 

Oregon on the identified species; 

measures to monitor, minimize and 

mitigate for those impacts on those 

species; and procedures to account for 

unforeseen or extraordinary 

circumstances. 

Authority 

Section 9 of the ESA and Federal 

regulations prohibit the taking of a 

species listed as endangered or 

threatened. The ESA defines ‘‘take’’ to 

mean harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, 

wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or 

to attempt to engage in any such 

conduct. NMFS and USFWS may issue 

permits, under limited circumstances to 

take listed species incidental to, and not 

the purpose of, otherwise lawful 

activities. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA 

and implementing regulations (50 CFR 

222.307 for NMFS and 50 CFR 17.22(b) 

and 17.32(b) for USFWS) provide for 

authorizing such incidental take of 

listed species. 

The proposed issuance of the ITPs is 

a Federal action requiring evaluation 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended 

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR 

parts 1500–1508. Pursuant to the 

requirements of NEPA, NMFS prepared 

the Draft EA to evaluate the potential 

environmental impacts of 

implementation of the proposed HCP. 

USFWS is a cooperating agency in this 

NEPA process. 

After public review, NMFS will 

review the comments in coordination 

with the USFWS. NMFS will finalize 

the EA and determine whether the 

proposed action warrants a finding of no 

significant impact or whether an 

environmental impact statement should 

be prepared pursuant to NEPA. NMFS 

will evaluate the permit application 

submitted by Port Blakely, the 

associated documents, and any 

comments received, to determine 

whether the permit application meets 

the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) 

of the ESA and its implementing 

regulations. NMFS will also evaluate 

whether issuance of the requested 

permit would comply with the ESA by 

conducting consultation under section 

7(a)(2) of the ESA on the proposed ITP 

action. The final NEPA and permit 

determinations will not be completed 

until after the end of the 30-day 

comment period, and NMFS will fully 

consider all comments received during 

the comment period. If NMFS 

determines that all requirements are 

met, it will issue ITPs under section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA to Port Blakely for 

the take of the covered species under 

NMFS jurisdiction, incidental to 

otherwise lawful covered activities.

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on February 16,

Needs and Uses: With this 

information collection, NTIA will 

monitor the grant recipients’ spending 

for compliance with grant terms and 

conditions. In the absence of collecting 

this information, NTIA would fail to 

evaluate effectively the award 

recipients’ progress toward completing 

project activities and achieving core 

purposes of the CMC. Moreover, 

without these reports, NTIA would lack 

the ability to monitor effectively the 

award recipients’ expenditure of funds 

to deter waste, fraud, ad abuse of CMC 

funds. Therefore, it is necessary for 

NTIA to collect information using the 

Baseline Report, Semi-Annual 

Performance (Technical) Reports and 

Annual Report. 

Affected Public: Grant award 

recipients consisting of Historically 

Black colleges or universities (HBCUs); 

Tribal Colleges or Universities (TCUs); 

Minority-serving institutions (MSIs); or 

consortiums that are led by a 

historically Black college or university, 

a Tribal College or University, or a 

Minority-serving institution and that 

also include: (a) an MBE; or (b) an 

organization described in section 

501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code 

of 1986 and exempt from tax under 

section 501(a) of such Code. 

Frequency: Semi-annually and 

Annually; The Baseline Report is a onetime collection of information from 

award recipients covering project plans 

and details about key outputs and 

outcomes. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021, Division N, 

Title IX, Section 905, Public Law 116–
