opportunities received via this type of
transfer are subject to all U.S and NAFO
rules as detailed below.
For more details on NAFO
requirements for chartering and
transferring NAFO allocations, contact
Patrick Moran (see ADDRESSES).
Fishing in the NAFO Regulatory Area
U.S. applicant vessels must be in
possession of, or obtain, a valid HSFCA
permit, which is available from the
NMFS Greater Atlantic Regional
Fisheries Office. All permitted vessels
must comply with any conditions of this
permit and all applicable provisions of
the Convention on Future Multilateral
Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic
Fisheries and the CEM. We reserve the
right to impose additional permit
conditions that ensure compliance with
the NAFO Convention and the CEM, the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
any other applicable law.
The CEM provisions include, but are
not limited to:
• Maintaining a fishing logbook with
NAFO-designated entries (Annex II.A
and Article 28);
• Adhering to NAFO hail system
requirements (Annexes II.D and II.F;
Article 28; Article 30 part B);
• Carrying an approved onboard
observer for each trip consistent with
requirements of Article 30 part A;
• Maintaining and using a
functioning, autonomous vessel
monitoring system authorized by
issuance of the HSFCA permit as
required by Articles 29 and 30; and
• Complying with all relevant NAFO
CEM requirements, including minimum
fish sizes, gear, bycatch retention, and
per-tow move on provisions for
exceeding bycatch limits in any one
haul/set.
Further details regarding U.S. and
NAFO requirements are available from
the NMFS Greater Atlantic Regional
Fisheries Office, and can also be found
in the 2018 NAFO CEM on the Internet
(https://www.nafo.int/Fisheries/

(Kate.Spidalieri@noaa.gov; 240–533–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Section 315 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C.
1445a) allows the Secretary of
Commerce to establish one or more
advisory councils to provide advice to
the Secretary regarding the designation
and management of national marine
sanctuaries. Executive Order 13178
similarly established a Coral Reef
Ecosystem Reserve Council pursuant to
the NMSA for the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem
Reserve. Councils are individually
chartered for each site to meet its
specific needs. Once an advisory
council has been chartered, a sanctuary
superintendent starts a process to
recruit members for that council by
providing notice to the public and
requesting interested parties to apply for
the available seat(s) (e.g., Research,
Education) and position(s) (i.e., council
member or alternate). The information
obtained through this application
process will be used to determine the
qualifications of the applicant for
membership on the advisory council.
Two application forms are currently
associated with this information
collection: (a) National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council
Application form; and (b) National
Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council
Youth Seat Application form. These
application forms are currently being
revised to ensure consistency between
forms, as well as clarify the information
and supplemental materials to be
submitted by applicants. Application
form instructions will specify
requirements imposed upon the agency
when reviewing applicants as potential
council members or alternates,
including the need to assess potential
conflicts of interest (or other issues) and
the applicant’s status as a federally
registered lobbyist. Specific questions
posed to applicants will be reordered,
reworded and, at times, condensed to
improve the organization of applicant
responses and, thereby, simplify the
applicant review process.
II. Method of Collection
Complete applications may be
submitted electronically via email (with
attachments), by mail, or by facsimile
transmission.

III. Data
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 200.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes for initial completion of
certificate and 2 minutes for subsequent
billfish purchase recordkeeping.
Burden Hours: 43.
Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), NOAA is
responsible for management of the
Nation’s marine fisheries. In addition,
NOAA must comply with the United
States’ (U.S.) obligations under the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975
(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). A Certificate of
Eligibility (COE) for Billfishes is
required under 50 CFR part 635 to
accompany all billfish, except for a
billfish landed in a Pacific state and
remaining in the state of landing. This
documentation certifies that the
accompanying billfish was not
harvested from the applicable Atlantic
Ocean management unit (described on
the NOAA sample certificate), and
identifies the vessel landing the billfish,
the vessel’s homeport, the port of
offloading, and the date of offloading.
The certificate must accompany the
billfish to any dealer or processor who
subsequently receives or possesses the
billfish. A standard certificate format is
not currently required to document the
necessary information, provided it
contains all of the information required.
The extension of this collection is
necessary to implement the
Consolidated Highly Migratory Species
Fishery Management Plan, which
contains conservation and management
measures that limit the Atlantic billfish
fishery to a recreational fishery.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0397.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a currently
approved collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations; not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
594.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden

Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $1,188.00.
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
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
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Extension of the Comprehensive
Autism Care Demonstration for
TRICARE Eligible Beneficiaries
Diagnosed With Autism Spectrum
Disorder
Department of Defense.
Notice of an extension of a
comprehensive demonstration project
for all Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
services, including the tiered-model of
ABA, for all TRICARE eligible
beneficiaries diagnosed with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice provides a fiveyear extension to the Military Health
System’s demonstration project entitled
Comprehensive Autism Care
Demonstration (‘‘Autism Care
Demonstration’’). The initial purpose
of the Autism Care Demonstration
(ACD) was to further analyze and
evaluate the appropriateness of the ABA
services tiered delivery model under
TRICARE (the medical benefit) in light
of current and anticipated Behavior
Analyst Certification Board guidelines.
Based on the agency’s experience in
administering ABA services under the
ACD, including engagement with
beneficiaries, providers, advocates,
associations, and other payers, much
more analysis and experience is
required in order to determine the
appropriate characterization of ABA
services as a medical treatment, or other
modalities, under the TRICARE program
coverage requirements—to include
further research and evaluation of the
results, whether Board Certified
Behavior Analysts may appropriately be
recognized and treated as independent
TRICARE authorized providers of a
proven medical benefit, and what
authorities are required to add ABA
services as a permanent benefit under
the TRICARE program—whether as a
proven medical benefit or otherwise.
DATES: The demonstration will continue
through December 31, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Defense Health Agency,
Health Plan Operations, 7700 Arlington
