SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

program was originally solicited in the 

Federal Register on June 30, 2005, as 

part of the June, 2005 NOAA Omnibus 

solicitation. The original deadline for 

receipt of proposals was 3 p.m., EST, on 

September 1, 2005. NOAA re-opens the 

solicitation period to provide the public 

more time to submit proposals. The new 

deadline for the receipt of proposals is 

October 12, 2005, for both electronic 

and paper applications. All applications 

that are submitted between September 

1, 2005, and the date of publication of 

this notice will be considered timely. 

All other requirements for this 

solicitation remain the same. 

Limitation of Liability 

Funding for programs listed in this 

notice is contingent upon the 

availability of Fiscal Year 2006 

appropriations. Applicants are hereby 

given notice that funds have not yet 

been appropriated for the programs 

listed in this notice. In no event will 

NOAA or the Department of Commerce 

be responsible for proposal preparation 

costs if these programs fail to receive 

funding or are cancelled because of 

other agency priorities. Publication of 

this announcement does not oblige 

NOAA to award any specific project or 

to obligate any available funds. 

Universal Identifier 

Applicants should be aware that they 

are required to provide a Dun and 

Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number during the 

application process. See 67 FR 66177; 

October 30, 2002, for additional 

information. Organizations can receive a 

DUNS number at no cost by calling the 

dedicated toll-free DUNS Number 

request line at 1–866–705–5711 or via 

the internet (http:// 

www.dunandbradstreet.com ). 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

NOAA must analyze the potential 

environmental impacts, as required by 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), for applicant projects or 

proposals which are seeking NOAA 

federal funding opportunities. Detailed 

information on NOAA compliance with 

NEPA can be found at the following 

NOAA NEPA website: http:// 

www.nepa.noaa.gov/, including our 

NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 for 

NEPA, http://www.nepa.noaa.gov/ 

NAO216l6lTOC.pdf, and the Council 

on Environmental Quality 

implementation regulations, http:// 

ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ceq/ 

toclceq.htm Consequently, as part of 

an applicant’s package, and under their 

description of their program activities, 

applicants are required to provide 

detailed information on the activities to 

be conducted, locations, sites, species 

and habitat to be affected, possible 

construction activities, and any 

environmental concerns that may exist 

(e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous 

or toxic chemicals, introduction of nonindigenous species, impacts to 

endangered and threatened species, 

aquaculture projects, and impacts to 

coral reef systems). In addition to 

providing specific information that will 

serve as the basis for any required 

impact analyses, applicants may also be 

requested to assist NOAA in drafting of 

an environmental assessment, if NOAA 

determines an assessment is required. 

Applicants will also be required to 

cooperate with NOAA in identifying 

feasible measures to reduce or avoid any 

identified adverse environmental 

impacts of their proposal. The failure to 

do so shall be grounds for not selecting 

an application. In some cases if 

additional information is required after 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2005 / Notices 54369 

an application is selected, funds can be 

withheld by the Grants Officer under a 

special award condition requiring the 

recipient to submit additional 

environmental compliance information 

sufficient to enable NOAA to make an 

assessment on any impacts that a project 

may have on the environment. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78389), are 

applicable to this solicitation. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This document contains collection-ofinformation requirements subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The

Notwithstanding any other provision of 

law, no person is required to respond to, 

nor shall any person be subject to a

public comment are not required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other law for rules concerning public 

property, loans, grants, benefits, and 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 

inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis has not been 

prepared.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Tammy Adams, Shane Guan, or Ruth 

Johnson, (301)713–2289. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permits are requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the 

Regulations Governing the Taking and 

Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR 

part 216). 

File No. 1070–1783: The applicant 

requests a five-year permit to study 

temporal and spatial variation in 

numbers and diet composition of harbor 

seals (Phoca vitulina) in southern 

Padilla Bay, Washington to determine 

responses of harbor seals to changes in 

prey density and the impact of seal 

behavior on marine protected areas. 

Fecal samples would be collected from 

rookeries and haul-out sites for dietary 

analyses and seals would be counted 

during aerial and vessel surveys. The 

applicant requests to harass seals from 

the Washington Inland Waters Stock 

during the study. The estimated 

minimum number of harbor seals in this 

stock is 12,844 seals. 

File No. 1075–1788: The applicant 

requests a two-year permit to 

characterize the ontogenetic changes in 

skeletal muscle physiology in newly 

weaned, subadult, and adult Weddell 

seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) in the 

Antarctic and determine the molecular 

controls that regulate these changes. The 

applicant proposes to capture 15 adult, 

15 juvenile, and 10 weaned pups 

annually to collect small muscle biopsy 

samples from the swimming muscles to 

identify the proteins and transcription 

factors that regulate the changes in 

myoglobin concentration, fiber type 

distribution and aerobic capacity. These 

results are expected to increase 

understanding of the ontogeny and 

molecular mechanisms by which young 

seals acquire the physiological 

adaptations necessary to become 

competent divers and marine predators. 

The applicant also requests 

authorization for the research-related 

mortality of up to two seals per year if 

complications should arise during 

sedation and handling. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of these 

applications to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
