SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PIFSC is
the research arm of NMFS in the Pacific
Islands Region. PIFSC conducts research
and provides scientific advice to
manage fisheries and conserve protected
species throughout the Western and
Central Pacific Ocean, including the
State of Hawaii, Territory of American
Samoa, Territory of Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands,
and the Pacific Remote Island Areas.
Research is aimed at monitoring fish
stock recruitment, survival, and
biological rates; abundance and
geographic distribution of both pelagic
and insular marine species; and
providing other scientific information
needed to improve our understanding of
complex marine ecological processes.
Primary research activities include:
Mid-water trawl surveys to support
assessments of pelagic stages of insular
species and other mesopelagic
organisms; dive surveys to conduct
coral reef ecosystem assessment and
monitoring; hook-and-line surveys to
collect fishery life history samples and
deploy telemetry tags; marine debris
research and removal activities;
advanced sampling technology surveys
(e.g. stereo-video cameras, autonomous
underwater vehicles) to assess and
monitor marine organisms and habitats;
longline surveys for life history studies
and bycatch reduction research;
ecosystem surveys using active acoustic
systems, plankton nets, and other
oceanographic equipment; and
collaborative research in foreign
territorial seas. NMFS has prepared the
DPEA under NEPA to evaluate several
alternatives for conducting and funding
fisheries and ecosystem research
activities as the primary federal action.
Additionally in the DPEA, NMFS
evaluates a related action—also called a
‘‘connected action’’ under 40 CFR
1508.25 of the Council on
Environmental Quality’s regulations for
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)—
which is the proposed promulgation of
regulations and authorization of the take

of marine mammals incidental to the
fisheries research under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
Additionally, because the proposed
research activities occur in areas
inhabited by species of marine
mammals, birds, sea turtles, and fish
listed under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) as threatened or endangered, this
DPEA evaluates activities that could
result in unintentional takes of ESAlisted marine species. The following
four alternatives are currently evaluated
in the DPEA:
• No-Action/Status Quo
Alternative—Conduct Federal Fisheries
and Ecosystem Research with Scope and
Protocols Similar to Past Effort.
• Preferred Alternative—Conduct
Federal Fisheries and Ecosystem
Research (New Suite of Research) with
Mitigation for MMPA and ESA
Compliance.
• Modified Research Alternative—
Conduct Federal Fisheries and
Ecosystem Research (New Suite of
Research) with Additional Mitigation.
• No Research Alternative—No
Fieldwork for Federal Fisheries and
Ecosystem Research Conducted or
Funded by PIFSC.
The first three alternatives include a
program of fisheries and ecosystem
research projects conducted or funded
by the PIFSC as the primary federal
action. Because this primary action is
connected to a secondary federal action
(also called a connected action under
NEPA), to consider authorizing
incidental take of marine mammals
under the MMPA, NMFS must identify
as part of this evaluation ‘‘(t)he means
of effecting the least practicable adverse
impact on the species or stock and its
habitat.’’ (Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the
MMPA [16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.]). NMFS
must therefore identify and evaluate a
reasonable range of mitigation measures
to minimize impacts to protected
species that occur in PIFSC research
areas. These mitigation measures are
considered as part of the identified
alternatives in order to evaluate their
effectiveness to minimize potential
adverse environmental impacts. The
three action alternatives also include
mitigation measures intended to
minimize potentially adverse
interactions with other protected
species that occur within the action
area. Protected species include all
marine mammals, which are covered
under the MMPA, all species listed
under the ESA, and bird species
protected under the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act. NMFS is also evaluating a
second type of no-action alternative that
considers no federal funding for field
fisheries and ecosystem research

activities. This is called the No Research
Alternative to distinguish it from the
No-Action/Status Quo Alternative. The
No-Action/Status Quo Alternative will
be used as the baseline to compare all
of the other alternatives. Potential direct
and indirect effects on the environment
are evaluated under each alternative in
the DPEA. The environmental effects on
the following resources are considered:
Physical environment, special resource
areas, fish, marine mammals, birds, sea
turtles, invertebrates, and the social and
economic environment. Cumulative
effects of external actions and the
contribution of fisheries research
activities to the overall cumulative
impact on the aforementioned resources
is also evaluated in the DPEA for the
three main geographic regions in which
PIFSC surveys are conducted. NMFS
requests comments on the DPEA for
Fisheries and Ecosystem Research
Conducted and Funded by the National
Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands
Fisheries Science Center. Please
include, with your comments, any
supporting data or literature citations
that may be informative in
substantiating your comment.

The Corporation for National
and Community Service (CNCS), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
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
renewal of the Alumni Outcomes
Survey. The purpose of this survey is to
better understand the long-term civic
participation and career pathways of
AmeriCorps Alumni, the acquisition of
career skills obtained through national
service and the utilization of the
Education Awards and its effect on
future post-secondary outcomes and
career choices. The information
collected is not required to be
considered for or to obtain grant funding
support for AmeriCorps.
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
submitted to the individual and office
listed in the ADDRESSES section by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
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,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are expected to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
(e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses).
Background
Information will be collected from
AmeriCorps Alumni through an online
survey that will be administered by a
contractor on behalf of CNCS. The
purpose of the survey is to better
understand the long-term civic
participation and career pathways of
AmeriCorps alumni, the acquisition of
hard and soft career skills obtained
through national service, and the
utilization of the Education Award and
its effect on future post-secondary
outcomes and career choices. In
addition, the agency is interested in
exploring how member outcomes vary
by life stage and by different types of
service experiences. This survey is also
an opportunity to determine the value of
data collected from alumni who are at
different stages following their service
year for informing policy and program
decisions.
Current Action
CNCS seeks to renew the current
information request with revisions to
the survey administered in 2015 (OMB
#3045–0170). Information will be
collected from a nationally
representative sample of AmeriCorps
