SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the Council developed
regulations under the MagnusonStevens Act and the American Fisheries
Act (AFA) to govern commercial fishing
for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (BSAI) pollock
according to the requirements of the
AFA. These regulations are necessary to
achieve the AFA’s objective of
decapitalization and rationalization of
the BSAI pollock fishery.
With exceptions noted below, all
participants in the AFA pollock fishery
are already permitted and the permits
are issued with an indefinite expiration
date. The permanent AFA permits are:
AFA catcher vessel, AFA catcher/
processor, AFA mothership, and AFA
inshore processor. The permit
exceptions are issued annually—the
inshore vessel cooperative permit and
inshore vessel contract fishing permit.
In addition, the AFA vessel replacement
application may be submitted to NMFS
at any time.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email, mail, and
facsimile transmission of paper forms.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the CSP is to increase national
understanding of the charter school
model by—
(1) Providing financial assistance for
the planning, program design, and
initial implementation of charter
schools;
(2) Evaluating the effects of charter
schools, including the effects on
students, student achievement, student
growth, staff, and parents;
(3) Expanding the number of highquality charter schools available to
students across the Nation; and
(4) Encouraging the States to provide
support to charter schools for facilities
financing in an amount more nearly
commensurate to the amount the States
have typically provided for traditional
public schools.

On
December 10, 2015, the President signed
into law the Every Student Succeeds
Act (ESSA), Public Law 114–95, which
reauthorized the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA), as amended by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Under
section 5(c) of the ESSA, CSP grants
awarded in FY 2016 and earlier years
will operate in accordance with the
requirements of the ESEA, as amended
by NCLB, and any continuation awards
applicable to these grants also will
operate in accordance with such
requirements.
The FY 2016 CSP Grants for SEAs
competition is similar to the previous
year’s competition, with a few changes
to simplify the application and review
process, consistent with feedback from
applicants, peer reviewers, and panel
monitors. Notably, the competitive
preference priorities have been
streamlined and the selection criteria
have been reduced in number and
simplified. In addition, to ensure that
CSP funds are used efficiently by SEAs
and their subgrantees, the Department
has established a maximum amount of
subgrant funds that an SEA may award
to a subgrantee for planning, program
design, and initial implementation of a
charter school. In developing their
applications, applicants should review
the application package available at
www.grants.gov for additional
information concerning the priorities,
application requirements, and selection
criteria for this competition, as well as
more detailed information on the
application submission process.
As in FY 2015, the Department seeks
to achieve three main goals through this
competition. The first goal is to ensure
that CSP funds are directed toward the
creation of high-quality charter schools.
For example, under selection criterion
(d) Project Design, reviewers will
consider how an applicant’s CSP project
design furthers its overall strategy for
increasing the number of high-quality
charter schools in the State, including
how the SEA intends to ensure that
subgrants will be awarded to eligible
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[FR Doc. 2016–09198 Filed 4–20–16; 8:45 am]
VerDate Sep<11>2014
The purpose of the CSP Grants for
SEAs competition is to enable SEAs to
provide financial assistance, through
subgrants to eligible applicants (also
referred to as non-SEA eligible
applicants), for the planning, program
design, and initial implementation of
charter schools and for the
dissemination of information about
successful charter schools, including
practices that existing charter schools
have demonstrated are successful.

applicants demonstrating the capacity
to create high-quality charter schools.
The second goal is to strengthen
public accountability for authorized
public chartering agencies (also referred
to as authorizers) and their charter
schools through rigorous and
transparent charter school authorization
and oversight processes. For example,
Absolute Priorities 1 Periodic Review
and Evaluation and 2 Charter School
Oversight require an applicant to
demonstrate that its State implements
specific charter school authorization
and oversight policies to ensure public
accountability for charter schools in the
State, including holding authorized
public chartering agencies accountable
for the quality of the charter schools in
their portfolios.
The third goal is to support and
improve academic outcomes for
educationally disadvantaged students
through equal access to high-quality
charter schools, improved academic
performance for students at the greatest
risk of academic failure, and a concerted
effort to increase student-body diversity
in charter schools. Diversity—in
particular racial, ethnic, and
socioeconomic diversity—is a critical
component of improving outcomes for
all students, including educationally
disadvantaged students. Accordingly,
under selection criterion (f) Oversight of
Authorized Public Chartering Agencies,
reviewers will consider the quality of an
applicant’s plan to help ensure that
authorized public chartering agencies
approve charter school petitions that
incorporate school models, practices, or
strategies that may be effective in
improving outcomes for educationally
disadvantaged students, including
models, practices, and strategies that
focus on increasing student-body
diversity. These approaches may
include, for example, site-location and
transportation planning to facilitate
charter school enrollment of students
from different neighborhoods or
communities, targeted recruitment of
high-need student populations to attract
diverse pools of applicants to charter
schools, weighted admissions lotteries
for educationally disadvantaged
students to increase student body
diversity in charter schools, academic
themes and course offerings to attract a
diverse group of students, or other
practices, including evidence-based
practices related to serving
educationally disadvantaged students,
such as practices designed to increase
access to rigorous coursework or
intensive, near-peer mentoring for such
students. In addition, the dissemination
of best practices related to student
discipline and school climate may help
