transponder (PIT) tagged, photographed, 

and released. A subsample of animals 

would be authorized for barnacle, 

keratin, and fecal sampling, cloacal 

swabs, laproscopy, ultrasound, and 

attachment of satellite and/or VHF 

transmitters. Up to five loggerhead, one 

Kemp’s ridley, one green, one 

leatherback, and one hawksbill sea 

turtle could be accidentally killed over 

the life of the permit. The permit would

no later than 11:59 p.m. ET, December 

10, 2010. For proposals submitted

time stamped when they are received. 

Full proposals received after the 

submission deadline will not be 

reviewed or considered. 

ADDRESSES: Full proposal application 

packages, including any letters of

funding opportunity number referenced 

in the NOAA Regional Ocean 

Partnership Funding Program—FY2011 

Funding Competition announced in the 

Federal Register on September 13, 2010 

(75 FR 55541). The correct funding

September 13, 2010 Federal Register 

notice for this program remain the same. 

Limitation of Liability 

In no event will NOAA or the 

Department of Commerce be responsible 

for proposal preparation costs if this 

program is 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. Applicants are 

hereby given notice that funding for the 

Fiscal Year 2011 program is contingent 

upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2011 

appropriations.

Applicants should be aware they are 

required to provide a Dun and 

Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number during the 

application process. See the October 30, 

2002, Federal Register, (67 FR 66177)

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 Web site: http:// 

www.nepa.noaa.gov/ including our 

NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 for 

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

NAO216_6_TOC.pdf and the Council on 

Environmental Quality implementation 

regulations http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/ 

regs/ceq/toc_ceq.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 

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 October 1, 2001 (66 FR 49917), as 

amended by the Federal Register notice 

published on: October 30, 2002 (67 FR

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This document contains collection-ofinformation requirements subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The 

use of Standard Forms 424, 424A, 424B, 

and SF–LLL have been approved by 

OMB under the respective control 

numbers 0348–0043, 0348–0044, 0348– 

0040, and 0348–0046. The application 

requirements specific to the NOAA 

Regional Ocean Partnership Funding 

Program have been approved by the 

Office of Management and Budget under 

Control Number 0648–0538. Public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 3 

hours per response, including the time 

for reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information. Send comments 

regarding this burden estimate or any 

other suggestions for reducing this 

burden to Ms. Cristi Reid, NOAA Office 

of Program Planning and Integration, 

SSMC 3, Room 15700, 1315 East West 

Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. The 

information collection does not request 

any proprietary or confidential 

information. No confidentiality is 

provided. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be 

subjected to a penalty for failure to 

comply with, a collection of information 

subject to the requirements of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that 

collection of information displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number. 

Executive Order 12866 

This notice has been determined to be 

not significant for purposes of Executive 

Order 12866. 

Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) 

It has been determined that this notice 

does not contain policies with 

Federalism implications as that term is 

defined in Executive Order 13132. 

Administrative Procedure Act/ 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Prior notice and an opportunity for 

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 

not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

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

inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis has not been 

prepared.
