years, after notification and opportunity
for public comment, if NMFS finds that
the taking will have a negligible impact
on the species or stock(s), will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant), and if
the permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
mitigation, monitoring and reporting of
such takings are set forth. NMFS has
defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as ‘‘ . . . an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Regulations governing the take of six
species of marine mammals, by Level B
harassment, and the take of one species
by Level A harassment, serious injury,
or mortality incidental to operation of
the Northstar development in the
Beaufort Sea, Alaska, were issued on
December 12, 2013 (78 FR 75488). These
regulations are effective from January
13, 2014, through January 14, 2019 (78
FR 75488, December 12, 2013). The
species which are authorized for taking
by Level B harassment are: Bowhead,
gray, and beluga whales and ringed,
bearded, and spotted seals. BP is also
authorized to take five individual ringed
seals by injury or mortality annually
over the course of the 5-year rule. For
detailed information on this action,
please refer to the final rule (78 FR
75488, December 12, 2013). These
regulations include mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
for the incidental take of marine
mammals during operation and
maintenance activities at the BP
Northstar development facility.
This LOA is effective from January 13,
2014, through January 14, 2019, and
authorizes the incidental take of the six
marine mammal species listed above
that may result from operations,
including maintenance activities, at the
BP Northstar development in the U.S.
Beaufort Sea.
Potential effects of BP’s operation of
the Norsthar development involve both
acoustic and non-acoustic effects.
Potential non-acoustic effects could
result from the physical presence of
personnel, structures and equipment,
construction or maintenance activities,
and the occurrence of oil spills. Ice road
construction may also impact ringed
seals. A major oil spill is unlikely.
Potential acoustic effects could result
from island construction, maintenance,
and drilling, as well as vehicles
operating on the ice, vessels, aircraft,
generators, production machinery, gas
flaring, and camp operations. Marine

mammals may experience masking and
behavioral disturbance.
Take of marine mammals will be
minimized through the implementation
of the following mitigation measures: (1)
Surveying with specially-trained dogs if
any ice road or construction activities
occur after March 1 in previously
undisturbed areas in waters deeper than
10 ft (3 m) in order to identify and avoid
ringed seal structures by a minimum of
492 ft (150 m); (2) scheduling all nonessential boat, hovercraft, barge, and air
traffic to avoid periods when whales
(especially bowhead whales) are
migrating through the area; (3)
maintaining a minimum altitude of
1,000 ft (305 m) and specific corridor
from Seal Island to the mainland for all
helicopter flights, except when limited
by weather or personnel safety or during
takeoffs and landings; (4) establishing
exclusion zones for cetaceans and
pinnipeds of 180 and 190 dB re 1 mPa
(rms), respectively, when impact pile
driving activities will occur; (5) shutting
down impact pile driving activities if
marine mammals enter the applicable
exclusion zones; and (6) no new drilling
into oil-bearing strata during either
open-water or spring-time broken ice
conditions. In addition to these
mitigation measures, BP has an oil spill
prevention and contingency plan in
place, which was developed and
approved by the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation, U.S.
Department of Transportation, U.S.
Coast Guard, and the former Minerals
Management Service. Additionally, the
rule includes an adaptive management
component that allows for timely
modification of mitigation or monitoring
measures based on new information,
when appropriate.
Through this LOA, BP is required to
monitor for marine mammals using both
visual observers and passive acoustic
monitoring systems. BP is required to
submit an annual report to NMFS by
June 1 of each year. The report will
include data collected from the visual
and acoustic monitoring program during
the period of November 1 through
October 31 each year. Additional
information on the mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
can be found in the final rule (78 FR
75488, December 12, 2013). BP is also
required to submit a comprehensive
report, which shall provide full
documentation of methods, results, and
interpretation of all monitoring during
the period of effectiveness of this LOA.

Title of Collection: Fair Credit
Reporting Act (Regulation V) 12 CFR
Part 1022.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0002.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
155.1
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,156,000.
Abstract: The consumer disclosures
included in Regulation V are designed
to alert consumers that a financial
institution furnished negative
information about them to a consumer
reporting agency, that they have a right
to opt out of receiving marketing
materials and credit or insurance offers,
that their credit report was used in
setting the material terms of credit that
may be less favorable than the terms
offered to consumers with better credit
histories, that they maintain certain
rights with respect to a theft of their
identity that they reported to a
consumer reporting agency, that they
maintain rights with respect to knowing
what is in their consumer reporting
agency file, that they can request a free
credit report, and that they can report a
theft of their identity to the CFPB.
Consumers then can use the information
provided to consider how and when to
check and use their credit reports.
Request for Comments: The Bureau
issued a 60-day Federal Register notice
on July 25, 2013 [78 FR 44930].
Comments were solicited and continue
to be invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methods and the
assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and/or
1 The Bureau allocated half of the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) burden amount after subtracting
the burden which the FTC has attributed to itself
for motor vehicle dealers. Section 1029 of the DoddFrank Act exempts certain motor vehicle dealers
from the Bureau’s enforcement authority. However,
due to the difficulty of making a reliable estimate
of those dealers, the FTC has attributed to itself the
PRA burden for all motor vehicle dealers. This
attribution does not change the actual enforcement
authority of either the FTC or the CFPB.

financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirement on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, CNCS is soliciting
comments concerning its proposed
AmeriCorps Competitive Advantage
study. The primary purpose of the
analysis is to identify any competitive
advantage in the job market that may be
conferred by AmeriCorps experience.
Collection of this data is not required for
obtaining grant funding support from
CNCS.
Copies of the information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of CNCS, including whether
the information will have practical
utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,

policy, and further lines of research
around economic outcomes of national
service members.
This is a new information collection
request. This study would administer a
15 minute, online survey to a sample of
managers with hiring authority in the
public, private, and non-profit sectors.
The survey consists of a section
comprised of experimental questions
regarding managers’ hiring preferences
when considering applicant skill and
experience profiles, and a section of
demographic questions.
Type of Review: New.
