SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Council developed regulations under the MagnusonStevens Act and the American Fisheries Act (AFA) to govern commercial fishing for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) pollock according to the requirements of the AFA. These regulations are necessary to achieve the AFA’s objective of decapitalization and rationalization of the BSAI pollock fishery. With exceptions noted below, all participants in the AFA pollock fishery are already permitted and the permits are issued with an indefinite expiration date. The permanent AFA permits are: AFA catcher vessel, AFA catcher/ processor, AFA mothership, and AFA inshore processor. The permit exceptions are issued annually—the inshore vessel cooperative permit and inshore vessel contract fishing permit. In addition, the AFA vessel replacement application may be submitted to NMFS at any time. II. Method of Collection Respondents have a choice of either electronic or paper forms.

Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The purpose of the CSP is to increase national understanding of the charter school model by— (1) Providing financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools; (2) Evaluating the effects of charter schools, including the effects on students, student achievement, student growth, staff, and parents; (3) Expanding the number of highquality charter schools available to students across the Nation; and (4) Encouraging the States to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly commensurate to the amount the States have typically provided for traditional public schools. 13:27 Apr 20, 2016 Jkt 238001 On December 10, 2015, the President signed into law the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Public Law 114–95, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Under section 5(c) of the ESSA, CSP grants awarded in FY 2016 and earlier years will operate in accordance with the requirements of the ESEA, as amended by NCLB, and any continuation awards applicable to these grants also will operate in accordance with such requirements. The FY 2016 CSP Grants for SEAs competition is similar to the previous year’s competition, with a few changes to simplify the application and review process, consistent with feedback from applicants, peer reviewers, and panel monitors. Notably, the competitive preference priorities have been streamlined and the selection criteria have been reduced in number and simplified. In addition, to ensure that CSP funds are used efficiently by SEAs and their subgrantees, the Department has established a maximum amount of subgrant funds that an SEA may award to a subgrantee for planning, program design, and initial implementation of a charter school. In developing their applications, applicants should review the application package available at www.grants.gov for additional information concerning the priorities, application requirements, and selection criteria for this competition, as well as more detailed information on the application submission process. As in FY 2015, the Department seeks to achieve three main goals through this competition. The first goal is to ensure that CSP funds are directed toward the creation of high-quality charter schools. For example, under selection criterion (d) Project Design, reviewers will consider how an applicant’s CSP project design furthers its overall strategy for increasing the number of high-quality charter schools in the State, including how the SEA intends to ensure that subgrants will be awarded to eligible SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [FR Doc. 2016–09198 Filed 4–20–16; 8:45 am] VerDate Sep<11>2014 The purpose of the CSP Grants for SEAs competition is to enable SEAs to provide financial assistance, through subgrants to eligible applicants (also referred to as non-SEA eligible applicants), for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools and for the dissemination of information about successful charter schools, including practices that existing charter schools have demonstrated are successful. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23463 applicants demonstrating the capacity to create high-quality charter schools. The second goal is to strengthen public accountability for authorized public chartering agencies (also referred to as authorizers) and their charter schools through rigorous and transparent charter school authorization and oversight processes. For example, Absolute Priorities 1 Periodic Review and Evaluation and 2 Charter School Oversight require an applicant to demonstrate that its State implements specific charter school authorization and oversight policies to ensure public accountability for charter schools in the State, including holding authorized public chartering agencies accountable for the quality of the charter schools in their portfolios. The third goal is to support and improve academic outcomes for educationally disadvantaged students through equal access to high-quality charter schools, improved academic performance for students at the greatest risk of academic failure, and a concerted effort to increase student-body diversity in charter schools. Diversity—in particular racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity—is a critical component of improving outcomes for all students, including educationally disadvantaged students. Accordingly, under selection criterion (f) Oversight of Authorized Public Chartering Agencies, reviewers will consider the quality of an applicant’s plan to help ensure that authorized public chartering agencies approve charter school petitions that incorporate school models, practices, or strategies that may be effective in improving outcomes for educationally disadvantaged students, including models, practices, and strategies that focus on increasing student-body diversity. These approaches may include, for example, site-location and transportation planning to facilitate charter school enrollment of students from different neighborhoods or communities, targeted recruitment of high-need student populations to attract diverse pools of applicants to charter schools, weighted admissions lotteries for educationally disadvantaged students to increase student body diversity in charter schools, academic themes and course offerings to attract a diverse group of students, or other practices, including evidence-based practices related to serving educationally disadvantaged students, such as practices designed to increase access to rigorous coursework or intensive, near-peer mentoring for such students. In addition, the dissemination of best practices related to student discipline and school climate may help E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1
