formed. The plan should include a
detailed discussion of the nature of the
advisory role and how the committee
will work with Center staff to
accomplish program objectives. Program
Operators have thirty (30) days to
become fully operational after an award
is made. Fully operational means that
all staff is hired, all signs are up, all
items of furniture and equipment are in
place and operational, all stationery
forms are developed and the Center is
ready to open its doors to the public.
Failure to have all staff on board within
30 days after award will result in a
deduction of 10 points on the first semiannual performance assessment report
and may jeopardize continuation of the
award (5 points);
• Work Requirements Execution
Plan—The applicant will be evaluated
on how it plans to execute the Work
Requirements (including
implementation timelines) and how
effectively and efficiently all staff will
be used. Applicants should include a
description for using an intra and
interstate approach, depending on the
geographic service area, for
accomplishing the work requirements
contained in the FFO (5 points).
• Appropriateness of Applicant
Defined Service Area—The applicant
will be evaluated based on the
following: the size of the minority
population and density of MBEs with
revenues of $500,000 or rapid-growth
potential in the applicant’s defined
service area. The presence of significant
Federal and commercial contracting and
financing opportunities, the size of the
market, and the need for MBDA
resources in the applicant’s defined
service area should also be discussed (5
points).

4. Proposed Budget and Supporting
Budget Narrative (20 Points)
The applicant’s proposal will be
evaluated on the following sub-criteria:

allocability of costs (5 points). MBDA
anticipates that 75% of the funding
level will be allocated to key staff, such
as the Executive Director and senior
business development persons.
• Proposed cost sharing of 30 percent
is required and must be documented,
including whether client fees for
brokering will be charged and applied to
the cost share. Applicants choosing to
charge fees should set forth a fee
schedule in their proposals (5 points).
• Performance-based Budget. Discuss
how the budget is related to the
accomplishment of the work
requirements and the Performance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NOAA Fisheries seeks comment on
the renewal of permit information
collections required to: (1) Renew and
transfer of Pacific Coast Groundfish
limited entry permits; (2) implement
certain provisions of the sablefish
permit stacking program as provided for
PO 00000

by Amendment 14 of the Pacific Coast
Groundfish Fishery Management Plan;
and (3) issue and fulfill the terms and
conditions of exempted fishing permits
(EFPs).
NOAA Fisheries, Northwest Region
manages the Pacific Coast Groundfish
Fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ) off Washington, Oregon, and
California under the Pacific Coast
Groundfish Fishery Management Plan.
The regulations implementing the
Pacific Groundfish Fishery require that
those individuals participating in the
limited entry fishery have a valid
limited entry permit. The participation
in the fishery and access to a limited
entry permit has been restricted to
control the overall harvest capacity.
Each year, permit owners are required
to renew their permit by reviewing their
current permit information, providing
any updated information and certifying
that the permit information is correct.
Similarly, a permit owner is required to
request a permit transfer in writing.
Additional information may be
requested from the permit owner to
determine compliance with groundfish
regulations. The regulations
implementing the limited entry program
are found at 50 CFR part 660, Subpart
G.
Also, NOAA Fisheries will require
information collections to implement
sablefish permit stacking program
which will allow NOAA Fisheries to
prevent excessive fleet consolidation,
ensure processor access to sablefish, and
maintain the character of the fleet
through an owner on board provision.
These information collections will
include both one time collections and
annual information collections.
Specifically, the annual information
collections will require a corporation or
partnership that owns a sablefish
endorsed permit to list all individuals
with ownership interests in the entity;
and as part of a permit transfer, a
certification by the permit owner to
report the remaining pounds (not yet
harvested) on a sablefish permit at the
time of transfer.
Applicants for exempted fishing
permit must submit written information
that allows NOAA Fisheries to evaluate
the exempted fishing activity and weigh
the benefits and costs of the proposed
activities. The information included in
an application is specified at 50 CFR
600.745(b)(2). Permit holders are
required to file reports on the results of
the experiments and in some cases
individual vessels are required to
provide minimal data reports. There is
also a requirement of a call-in
notification prior to the fishing trip.
This information allows NOAA fisheries
