Revised Guidelines for NOAA's Community-based Restoration Program
Document Number: 05-16844
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-08-24
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS initiated a Community-based Restoration Program (Program) in 1996 that provides Federal financial and technical assistance to encourage locally led coastal and marine habitat restoration, and to promote stewardship and conservation values for NOAA trust resources. The Program is a systematic national effort to foster partnerships at national, regional and local levels to implement sound habitat restoration. Partnerships are forged between government, not-for-profit organizations, community groups, recreational and commercial fishing organizations, students and educational institutions, businesses, youth conservation corps and private landowners. Under the Program, partners may contribute funding, land, technical assistance, workforce support or other in-kind services; promote local participation in habitat restoration activities; undertake research and monitoring to evaluate and improve project success; and facilitate stewardship for restored resources at the local level. To date, the Program has funded more than 1000 community-based habitat restoration projects in 27 states, Canada, and the Caribbean. NMFS is issuing revised guidelines for Program implementation for FY 2006 and beyond, to reflect the evolution of the program since its original implementation. NMFS is seeking comments from interested parties on the revised guidelines. One or more constituent meetings are also planned to solicit feedback on the Program and the revised Program guidelines. This is not a solicitation of project proposals.

Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS has received a request from the Minerals Management Service (MMS), for authorization to harass small numbers of marine mammals incidental to explosive severance activities at offshore oil and gas structures in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) outer continental shelf (OCS).

In order to promulgate regulations and issue LOAs thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals. NMFS invites comment on MMS' application, and suggestions on the content of the regulations.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted the following information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The submission describes the nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources used by respondents to respond) and cost, and includes the actual data collection instruments FEMA will use. Title: Flood Mitigation Assistance (eGrants) and Grant Supplemental Information. OMB Number: 1660-0072. Abstract: Information sought in this collection will include all of Phase I and part of Phase II of the electronic, web-based application for Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grants through FEMA's eGrant system, including all application information and the financial and program performance reports. The eGrants system is being developed to meet the intent of the eGovernment initiative, authorized by Public Law 106-107 passed on November 20, 1999. Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government and Not For Profit Institutions. Number of Respondents: 56. Estimated Time per Respondent: The information collection for FMA through e-Grants in this OMB Approval 1660-0072 is an optional method to the FEMA Grant Administration Forms, currently approved under OMB Approval Number 1660-0025. We expect the availability of e-Grants to reduce the information collection and reporting burden of Grantees; however, since we have only utilized the e-Grants system for one complete funding cycle, we do not have sufficient data available to demonstrate or document the anticipated reduced burden. We expect further funding cycles, and increased familiarity by applicants on the use of the electronic system, to result in a reduced burden for respondents. FEMA will assess any reduction in burden hours, and consequently reduction in cost, to applicants with additional feedback from the FY2005 application cycle.

Title: Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program eGrants. OMB Number: 1660-0071.

Private-non- profit (PNP) organizations and private colleges and universities are not eligible sub-applicants; however, a relevant State agency or local government may apply to the grant applicant for assistance on their behalf. The grant assistance must be used to develop mitigation plans in accordance with section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to implement pre-disaster mitigation projects that reduce the risks of natural and technological hazards on life and property, and to provide information and technical assistance on cost-effective mitigation activities. Affected Public: State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 1176. Estimated Time per Respondent: For purposes of this information collection extension, we are estimating the burden hours to be the same (that is no increase or decrease change) as the December, 2004 OMB Approval 1660-0071. That approval included all of the required applications and grant forms for submittal either on paper or through e-Grants, regardless of the method that the Grantee chooses to use to submit the information.
