SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Jkt 217001
Title of Collection: ‘‘Biological
Sciences Proposal Classification Form’’.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0203.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to renew an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: Five organizational
units within the Directorate of
Biological Sciences of the National
Science Foundation will use the
Biological Sciences Proposal
Classification Form. They are the
Division of Biological Infrastructure
(DBI), the Division of Environmental
Biology (DEB), the Division of
Molecular and Cellular Biosciences
(MCB), the Division of Integrative
Organismal Systems (IOS) and Emerging
Frontiers (EF). All scientists submitting
proposals to these units will be asked to
complete an electronic version of the
Proposal Classification Form. The form
consists of brief questions about the
substance of the research and the
investigator’s previous federal support.
Each division will have a slightly
different version of the form. In this
way, submitters will only confront
response choices that are relevant to
their discipline.
Use of the Information: The
information gathered with the Biological
Sciences Proposal Classification Form
serves two main purposes. The first is
facilitation of the proposal review
process. Since peer review is a key
component of NSF’s grant-making
process, it is imperative that proposals
are reviewed by scientists with
appropriate expertise. The information
collected with the Proposal
Classification Form helps ensure that
the proposals are evaluated by
specialists who are well versed in
appropriate subject matter. This helps
maintain a fair and equitable review
process.
The second use of the information is
program evaluation. The Directorate is
committed to investing in a range of
substantive areas. With data from this
collection, the Directorate can calculate
submission rates and funding rates in
specific areas of research. Similarly, the
information can be used to identify
emerging areas of research, evaluate
changing infrastructure needs in the
research community, and track the
amount of international research. As the
National Science Foundation is
committed to funding cutting-edge
science, these factors all have
implications for program management.
The Directorate of Biological Sciences
has a continuing commitment to
monitor its information collection in
order to preserve its applicability and
necessity. Through periodic updates
and revisions, the Directorate ensures
PO 00000
Frm 00145
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
that only useful, non-redundant
information is collected. These efforts
will reduce excessive reporting burdens.
Burden on the Public: The Directorate
estimates that an average of five minutes
is expended for each proposal
submitted. An estimated 6,800
responses are expected during the
course of one year for a total of 570
public burden hours annually.
Expected Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses:
6,800.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,800.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 570 hours.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Dated: June 23, 2009.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 4(h) of the
Northwest Power Act, the Council has
amended its Columbia River Basin Fish
and Wildlife Program (program). The
final amended program may be found
on the Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program.
Background: Pursuant to section 4(h) of
the Northwest Power Act, in November
2007 the Northwest Power and
Conservation Council requested in
writing that State and Federal fish and
wildlife agencies, Indian tribes, and
others submit recommendations for
amendments to the Council’s Columbia
River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program.
The Council received over 3000 pages of
recommendations and supporting
information from 65 entities. The
Council then received extensive written
public comment on the program
amendment recommendations. In
September 2008, after reviewing the
recommendations, the supporting
information, and the comments received
on the recommendations, the Council
released for public review a draft
revised Fish and Wildlife Program. The
Council received over 1000 pages of
substantial written comments on the
draft amendments. All of these
documents may be found on the
Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program/
2008amend. The Council also took oral
PO 00000
Frm 00146
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
30645
testimony at a dozen public hearings
around the region. Transcripts of these
hearings are in the administrative record
along with the written comments. As
specified in section 4(h)(5), the Council
also held a number of consultations on
the recommendations and draft
amendments with representatives of
State and Federal fish and wildlife
agencies, Indian tribes, Federal
hydrosystem agencies, and customers of
the Bonneville Power Administration.
Notes from these consultations are also
in the administrative record.
Following this public review process
required by the Northwest Power Act,
and after deliberations in public over
the course of several Council meetings,
the Council adopted the final revised
program in February 2009 at a Council
meeting in Portland, Oregon. The
Council based its decisions on the
recommendations, supporting
documents, and the views and
information obtained through public
comment and participation and
consultation with the agencies, tribes,
and customers. The Council’s Columbia
River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program
continues to include detailed plans for
nearly 60 subbasins and mainstem
reaches of the Columbia River Basin.
The subbasin plans themselves were not
revised in this process. In the final step
of this program amendment process, at
its June 2009 meeting in Whitefish,
Montana, the Council adopted written
findings explaining its disposition of the
program amendment recommendations,
as required by section 4(h)(7) of the
Northwest Power Act, along with
responses to comments received on the
program amendment recommendations
and on the draft amended program. The
findings and responses have been made
part of the program as Appendix F. All
of the elements of the Council’s Fish
and Wildlife Program may be found on
the Council’s Web site at https://
www.nwcouncil.org/fw/program.
