Management Programs and National 

Estuarine Research Reserves 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource 

Management, National Ocean Service, 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to evaluate and 

notice of availability of final findings. 

SUMMARY: The NOAA Office of Ocean 

and Coastal Resource Management 

(OCRM) announces its intent to evaluate 

the performance of the South Carolina 

Coastal Management Program. 

The Coastal Zone Management 

Program evaluation will be conducted 

pursuant to section 312 of the Coastal 

Zone Management Act of 1972, as 

amended (CZMA) and regulations at 15 

CFR Part 923, Subpart L. The CZMA 

requires continuing review of the 

performance of states with respect to 

coastal program implementation. 

Evaluation of a Coastal Management 

Program requires findings concerning 

the extent to which a state has met the 

national objectives, adhered to its 

Coastal Management Program document 

approved by the Secretary of Commerce, 

and adhered to the terms of financial 

assistance awards funded under the 

CZMA. 

Each evaluation will include a site 

visit, consideration of public comments, 

and consultations with interested 

Federal, state, and local agencies and 

members of the public. A public 

meeting will be held as part of the site 

visit. Notice is hereby given of the dates 

of the site visit for the listed evaluation, 

and the date, local time, and location of 

the public meeting during the site visit. 

Dates and Times: The South Carolina 

Coastal Management Program 

evaluation site visit will be held March 

10–14, 2008. One public meeting will be 

held during the week. The public 

meeting will be held on Wednesday, 

March 12, 2008, at 6 p.m., at the South 

Carolina Department of Natural 

Resources, Marine Resources Research 

Institute Auditorium, 217 Fort Johnson 

Road, Charleston, South Carolina. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the state’s most 

recent performance reports, as well as 

OCRM’s evaluation notification and 

supplemental information request 

letters to the state, are available upon 

request from OCRM. Written comments 

from interested parties regarding this 

Program are encouraged and will be 

accepted until 15 days after the public 

meeting. Please direct written comments 

to Kate Barba, Chief, National Policy 

and Evaluation Division, Office of 

Ocean and Coastal Resource 

Management, NOS/NOAA, 1305 EastWest Highway, 10th Floor, N/ORM7, 

Silver Spring, Maryland 20910. When 

the evaluation is completed, OCRM will 

place a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the availability of the Final 

Evaluation Findings. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given of the availability of the 

final evaluation findings for the New 

Jersey and Guam Coastal Management 

Programs (CMPs) and the Guana 

Tolomato Matanzas (Florida) National 

Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM 

NERR). Sections 312 and 315 of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 

(CZMA), as amended, require a 

continuing review of the performance of 

coastal states with respect to approval of 

CMPs and the operation and 

management of NERRs. 

The State of New Jersey and the 

Territory of Guam were found to be 

implementing and enforcing their 

federally approved coastal management 

programs, addressing the national 

coastal management objectives 

identified in CZMA Section 303(2)(A)–

terms of their financial assistance

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The IC Clearance Official, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, invites 

comments on the proposed information 

collection requests as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before March 

31, 2008. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

Title: Integrated Postsecondary 

Education Data System (IPEDS), WebBased Collection System. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions; businesses or other forprofit; State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, 

SEAs or LEAs. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 6,600. 

Burden Hours: 162,610. 

Abstract: IPEDS is a web-based data 

collection system designed to collect 

basic data from all postsecondary 

institutions in the United States and the 

other jurisdictions. IPEDS allows the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) to describe the size of one of the 

nation’s largest enterprises, 

postsecondary education, in terms of 

students enrolled, degrees and other 

awards earned, dollars expended, and 

staff employed. IPEDS incorporates 

technological improvements into the 

collection that enhance data submission 

and data availability. The IPEDS webbased data collection system was 

implemented in 2000–01, and it collects 

basic data from approximately 6,600 

postsecondary institutions in the United 

States and the other jurisdictions that 

are eligible to participate in Title IV 

Federal financial aid programs. All Title 

IV institutions are required to respond 

to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 

102–325)). IPEDS allows other (nonTitle IV) institutions to participate on a 

voluntary basis, but only about 200 elect 

to respond.

information collection request may be
