knowledgeable about the operations of
cod freezer longliners.
DATES: The public workshop will be
held on Tuesday, December 1, 2009,
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Alaska standard
time.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held
at the Unalaska Public Library Alaskana
Room, 64 Eleanor Drive, Unalaska,
Alaska.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Alan Kinsolving, 928–774–4362 or
Jennifer Watson, 907–586–7537.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
has requested that NMFS prepare a
discussion paper on improved catch
accounting in the longline catcher/
processor sector of the Pacific cod
fishery off Alaska. Pacific cod and
associated bycatch in this fishery are
currently accounted for using data
collected by NMFS-certified observers.
Because only a portion of sets in the
fishery are observed, the data from
observed sets are extrapolated to
estimate catch from unobserved sets and
for unobserved trips. In order to
improve catch and bycatch accounting
in this fishery, a group representing
many of the freezer-longline vessel
owners, the Freezer Longline Coalition,
has suggested that Pacific cod be
accounted for using the weight of
processed product coupled with an
estimate of drop-offs (fish which are
caught but that do not enter the factory)
made by a NMFS-certified observer.
NMFS staff believes that cod catch can
best be accounted for using motioncompensated scales to weigh Pacific cod
prior to processing coupled with an
observer estimate of drop-offs. However,
there are issues associated with
available space and product quality that
may make this approach less practical
in this fishery than in others where the
use of motion-compensated scales is
required. New approaches to catch
accounting may lead to increased duties
for observers as well as necessitating
additional work space for observers.
In order to inform the discussion
paper that NMFS staff will be preparing
on this issue, we seek input into the
vessel-specific difficulties associated
with the use of motion-compensated
scales to weigh all retained cod; and
issues associated with providing
additional space for an observer
sampling station.
This workshop is open to the public,
but NMFS is particularly seeking input
from people who work on freezer
longliners and are familiar with vessel
operations. The workshop has been
timed to coincide with a period when a
large number of freezer longliners will

be in Dutch Harbor/Unalaska. As part of
the process of gathering information on
this issue, NMFS staff will be available
before and after the meeting to tour
individual vessels and discuss specific
issues related to available space and the
feasibility of weighing catch prior to
processing.
Special Accommodations
The workshop will be physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to Jennifer Watson,

and requests concept papers for the FY
2010 Promoting Student Achievement at
Schools Impacted by Military Force
Structure Changes grant competition.
Approximately $20 million is expected
to be awarded, depending on
availability of funding. The period of
performance is expected to be 40
months (01 Jun 10–30 Sep 13). Awards
will be based on military student
enrollment and will range in size from
$100,000 to $2,500,000, depending on
the number of military students at the
target schools. The Department’s aim is
to enhance the education of military
students, but funds may be used to raise
student achievement for all students at
the target school(s).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Project
activities will occur at militaryconnected schools that serve
installations which have been and are
experiencing significant military growth
due to force structure changes. Projects
will enhance student learning
opportunities, student achievement,
and/or educator professional
development in one of the following

areas: ELA/R (English language arts/
reading) or STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and/or mathematics).
Local educational agencies (LEAs)
may only apply to receive funds for
their elementary school(s) with a
military student population of at least
25 percent and for their secondary
school(s) with a military student
population of at least 15 percent. LEAs
self-certify the numbers and percentages
of students.
Concept papers will be disseminated
to eligible LEAs by e-mail on or about
December 1, 2009. They will be due on
or about January 27, 2010. The concept
papers will be reviewed in February,
2010. Full proposals will be
disseminated to selected LEAs on or
about March 1, 2010 and will be due on
April 22, 2010. Awards are expected to
be made June 1–15, 2010. The
Department may take into account
geographic distribution and military

Authorization:
• Section 574(d) of Public Law 109–
364, as amended by Section 553 of
Public Law 110–417; title 10 U.S.C.
2192(b) and 2193a.
CFDA Number
• CFDA 12.556: Support for K–12
Student Achievement at MilitaryConnected Schools.
K–12 Education
The Department of Defense considers
the education of the dependents of
members of the Armed Forces to be a
critical quality of life issue. K–12
education concerns are often cited as a
key reason for requesting changes in
assignment and for deciding not to
reenlist.
Eligibility
Eligibility is determined through a
two-tier process. The first tier, selection
of installations, was determined by the
Military Services and DoDEA using data
provided by the Military Services as of
October 2009. Installations had to have
growth of 400 or more military students
over the 2009–10 and 2010–11 school
years in order to qualify. If an
installation qualified, the Military
Services listed the LEAs that served it.
See attached list. LEAs were not
involved in the determination of
installation growth. LEAs that were
listed must meet the requirements of the
second tier of eligibility in order to
submit a concept paper/full application.
The second tier of eligibility is based
on the size and percentage of the
military student population measured at
the school, not the district, level and on
E:\FR\FM\24NON1.SGM
24NON1
61336
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 24, 2009 / Notices
whether or not schools have already
received DoDEA funds.
• Percentage: LEAs may only apply to
receive funds for elementary school(s)
with a military student population of at
least 25 percent and secondary school(s)
with a military student population of at
least 15 percent. LEAs self-certify the
numbers and percentages.
• Size: LEAs with 4,500 or more total
(military and non-military) students or
450 or more military students must
target either their eligible elementary
schools or their eligible secondary
schools. LEAs with fewer than 4,500
total (military and non-military)
students and fewer than 450 military
students may target their eligible
elementary and/or eligible secondary
schools.
• Definition: Military student is
defined as an elementary or secondary
school student who is a dependent of a
member of the Armed Forces or a
civilian employee of the Department of
Defense who is employed on Federal
property. LEAs usually use Impact Aid
data to determine their military student
population.
• Current Awardees: Current
awardees of DoDEA grant funds are
eligible to apply for FY10 funds if they
meet the aforementioned criteria and if
they apply for schools that have not
already been targeted/listed in their
grant awards.
Eligibility Appeals
DoDEA will not entertain petitions
from LEAs. If such a request is made, it
will be referred to the appropriate
Military Service.

AGENCY: Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
ACTION: Grant competition announcement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) announces
and requests concept papers for the FY 2010 Promoting Student
Achievement at Schools Impacted by Military Force Structure Changes
grant competition. Approximately $20 million is expected to be awarded,
depending on availability of funding. The period of performance is
expected to be 40 months (01 Jun 10-30 Sep 13). Awards will be based on
military student enrollment and will range in size from $100,000 to
$2,500,000, depending on the number of military students at the target
schools. The Department's aim is to enhance the education of military
students, but funds may be used to raise student achievement for all
students at the target school(s).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Project activities will occur at military-
connected schools that serve installations which have been and are
experiencing significant military growth due to force structure
changes. Projects will enhance student learning opportunities, student
achievement, and/or educator professional development in one of the
following areas: ELA/R (English language arts/reading) or STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics).
Local educational agencies (LEAs) may only apply to receive funds
for their elementary school(s) with a military student population of at
least 25 percent and for their secondary school(s) with a military
student population of at least 15 percent. LEAs self-certify the
numbers and percentages of students.
Concept papers will be disseminated to eligible LEAs by e-mail on
or about December 1, 2009. They will be due on or about January 27,
2010. The concept papers will be reviewed in February, 2010. Full
proposals will be disseminated to selected LEAs on or about March 1,
2010 and will be due on April 22, 2010. Awards are expected to be made
June 1-15, 2010. The Department may take into account geographic
distribution and military service representation when making grant
awards.
Authorization:
Section 574(d) of Public Law 109-364, as amended by
Section 553 of Public Law 110-417; title 10 U.S.C. 2192(b) and 2193a.
CFDA Number
CFDA 12.556: Support for K-12 Student Achievement at
Military-Connected Schools.
K-12 Education
The Department of Defense considers the education of the dependents
of members of the Armed Forces to be a critical quality of life issue.
K-12 education concerns are often cited as a key reason for requesting
changes in assignment and for deciding not to reenlist.
Eligibility
Eligibility is determined through a two-tier process. The first
tier, selection of installations, was determined by the Military
Services and DoDEA using data provided by the Military Services as of
October 2009. Installations had to have growth of 400 or more military
students over the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years in order to qualify.
If an installation qualified, the Military Services listed the LEAs
that served it. See attached list. LEAs were not involved in the
determination of installation growth. LEAs that were listed must meet
the requirements of the second tier of eligibility in order to submit a
concept paper/full application.
The second tier of eligibility is based on the size and percentage
of the military student population measured at the school, not the
district, level and on
[[Page 61336]]
whether or not schools have already received DoDEA funds.
Percentage: LEAs may only apply to receive funds for
elementary school(s) with a military student population of at least 25
percent and secondary school(s) with a military student population of
at least 15 percent. LEAs self-certify the numbers and percentages.
Size: LEAs with 4,500 or more total (military and non-
military) students or 450 or more military students must target either
their eligible elementary schools or their eligible secondary schools.
LEAs with fewer than 4,500 total (military and non-military) students
and fewer than 450 military students may target their eligible
elementary and/or eligible secondary schools.
Definition: Military student is defined as an elementary
or secondary school student who is a dependent of a member of the Armed
Forces or a civilian employee of the Department of Defense who is
employed on Federal property. LEAs usually use Impact Aid data to
determine their military student population.
Current Awardees: Current awardees of DoDEA grant funds
are eligible to apply for FY10 funds if they meet the aforementioned
criteria and if they apply for schools that have not already been
targeted/listed in their grant awards.
Eligibility Appeals
DoDEA will not entertain petitions from LEAs. If such a request is
made, it will be referred to the appropriate Military Service.
