• Ability to engage and assist SMEs to
effectively deploy technologies; and
• A sustained focus on innovation
with a strong reputation for quality and
success.
Examples of Potential Focus Areas
Each Institute will have a clear focus
area that does not overlap with those of
the other Institutes. The focus area
could be an advanced material, a
manufacturing process, an enabling
technology, or an industry sector. The
federal government does not intend to
create or provide a complete list of focus
areas for the NNMI. The NNMI
solicitation will invite applicants to
propose such areas. The following
examples are meant only to be
suggestive of focus areas that might
serve national needs and improve the
competitiveness of a broad base of
domestic manufacturers.
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Example 1 (Manufacturing Process):
Refining standards, materials, and equipment
for additive manufacturing to enable lowcost, low-volume production using digital
designs that can be transmitted from
designers located anywhere.
Example 2 (Advanced Materials):
Developing lightweight materials, such as
low-cost carbon fiber composites (CFCs), that
will improve fuel efficiency and performance
of the next generation of automobiles,
aircraft, ships, and trains.
Example 3 (Enabling Technology):
Creating a smart manufacturing infrastructure
and approaches that integrate low-cost
sensors into manufacturing processes,
enabling operators to make real-time use of
‘‘big data’’ flows from fully instrumented
plants in order to improve productivity,
optimize supply chains, and reduce wastage
of energy, water, and materials. Creating
technology platforms for manufacturing
Spintronics (spin-based electronics) devices
and systems for next-generation electronics,
and for new paradigms for manufacturing
photonic assemblies for future all-optical
networks and wireless communications.
Example 4 (Industry Sector): Improving
biomanufacturing processes to enhance
safety, quality, and consistency of
bioproducts, such as pharmaceuticals or
chemicals, by enabling rapid on-line sensing
and analytical capabilities and creating new
tools for process optimization, control and
improvement to enable cost-effective
production methods.
Request for Information: The objective
of this request for information is to
assist the NIST-hosted AMNPO in the
development of the new program should
the NNMI be funded in FY 2013. The
questions below are intended to assist in
the formulation of comments, and
should not be construed as a limitation
on the number of comments that
interested persons may submit or as a
limitation on the issues that may be
addressed in such comments.

structure, and to describe and gather
input from individual participants on
possible case studies that are expected
to form a central focus of collaborative
efforts. The workshop will also describe
and explore opportunities for industry,
academia, and Federal, state and local
government agencies to participate in
the NCCoE.

tools and technologies. The NCCoE will
bring together experts from industry,
government and academia under one
roof to develop practical, interoperable
cybersecurity approaches that address
the real world needs of complex
Information Technology (IT) systems.
By accelerating dissemination and use
of these integrated tools and
technologies for protecting IT assets, the
NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT
communications, data, and storage
systems; lower risk for companies and
individuals in the use of IT systems; and
encourage development of innovative,
job-creating cybersecurity products and
services.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before July 3, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6616,
14th and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230 (or via the
Internet at JJessup@doc.gov).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Anna Macan, (978) 281–
9165, or Anna.Macan@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of this
information collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Northeast Region manages the
Northeast Multispecies fishery of the
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the
Northeastern United States through the
Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The New
England Fishery Management Council
prepared the FMP pursuant to the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA). The regulations implementing
the FMP are specified at 50 CFR part
648 Subpart F. The NE multispecies
Days-at-Sea (DAS) leasing requirements
at § 648.82(k) form the basis for this
collection of information.
The NE Multispecies DAS leasing
program was implemented in 2004 as a
result of Amendment 13 (69 FR 22906)
which substantially reduced the number
of DAS available for the NE
multispecies vessels. To mitigate some
of the adverse impact associated with
the reduction in DAS, the NE
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Multispecies Leasing Program was
developed to enable vessels to increase
their revenue by either leasing
additional DAS from another vessel to
increase their participation in the
fishery, or by leasing their unused
allocated DAS to another vessel.
NMFS requests DAS leasing
application information in order to
process and track requests from
allocation holders to transfer DAS to
another vessel. This information, upon
receipt, results in an increasingly more
efficient and accurate database for
management and monitoring of fisheries
of the Northeastern U.S. EEZ. The DAS
leasing downgrade information is
collected to allow vessel owners that are
eligible to lease Northeast multispecies
DAS a one-time downgrade in their
baseline specifications to their current
vessel specifications. This one-time
downgrade provides greater flexibility
for vessel owners to lease their DAS.
II. Method of Collection
Applicants can submit a DAS leasing
request either through mail or
electronically. Fillable applications may
be completed online, but must be
printed and signed to complete and the
originals must be mailed. Applicants
may choose to submit a lease
electronically by logging into their
personal fish-on-line accounts at
https://www.nero.noaa.gov/NMFSlogin/
login/login and clicking on the Days At
Sea Leasing section.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0475.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
505.
Estimated Time Per Response: DAS
Leasing Application, 5 minutes; Request
to Downgrade, 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 88.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $495.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
