SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation, as directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541, 45 CFR 670), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas a requiring special protection. The regulations establish such a permit system to designate Antarctic Specially Protected Areas. DATES: Application Details Permit Application: 2021–004 1. Applicant: Grant Ballard, Point Blue Conservation Science, 3820 Cypress Dr. #11, Petaluma, CA 94954. Activity for Which Permit Is Requested: Take, Harmful Interference, Enter Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs), Import into USA. The applicant proposed to enter ASPA 121, Cape Royds, ASPA 124, Cape Crozier, and ASPA 105, Beaufort Island, to conduct research on the role of environmental factors on foraging, diet, growth, and survival of Adelie penguins. Research activities would include installing weighbridges, resighting banded birds, and following birds through incubation and chickrearing until late January. The applicant and agents would attach logging and tracking devices on breeding adults and collect fecal samples from adults and chicks during the brooding and guarding stage, then would attach longterm GPS-Argos tags and geolocating dive recorders on adult penguins. The applicant and agents would measure and band 200 chicks at Cape Royds and 500 chicks at Cape Crozier each season, and would deploy GPS-Argos tags on molted juveniles. The applicant and agents would also conduct similar PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51497 research at Cape Bird, but the work would be conducted outside the ASPA boundary. To survey the large colonies at Cape Royds and Cape Crozier in a timely manner, the applicant and agents would employ multiple, self- and collectively-aware remotely piloted aircraft (RPAS) simultaneously. The RPAS will be piloted by trained, experienced, and certified operators and the operations will also involve additional visual observation of penguin behavior. For the surveys, the RPAS launch site would be at least 20 meters away from nesting birds and the RPAS would be operated at 50 meters above ground level and nest birds to help ensure minimal disturbance. Surveys at Cape Crozier have the potential to disturb south polar skuas nesting near the penguin colony. Images obtained from the surveys would be used to estimate the number of nesting adults and chicks, as well as nesting density. The applicant and agents would access the general areas by helicopter and would enter the ASPAs on foot. The applicant would maintain a webcam (PenguinCam) positioned slightly inside the Cape Royds ASPA boundary. Location: ASPA 121, Cape Royds, Ross Island; ASPA 124, Cape Crozier, Ross Island; ASPA 105, Beaufort Island; Cape Bird (outside ASPA boundary). Dates of Permitted Activities: October 15, 2020–February 15, 2025. Erika N. Davis, Program Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records. AGENCY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to establish a new OPM system of records titled ‘‘Federal Competency Assessment Records.’’ This system of records contains information that OPM collects, maintains, and uses in the operation of competency assessment tools, including the OPM Competency Exploration for Development and Readiness (CEDAR) tool. These records are collected and used for training and development purposes but are not to be used for employee performance ratings or for hiring and promotion decisions. This system of records will be included jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Aug 19, 2020 Jkt 250001 in the OPM’s inventory of record systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to establish a new system of records titled ‘‘OPM/Central-22 Federal Competency Assessment Records.’’ This system of records is being established in order to develop and make available to Federal agencies various competency assessment tools, in part, to meet the mandates of the Program Management Improvement Accountability Act (PMIAA). The PMIAA requires that OPM conduct a competency assessment of program managers and project managers throughout the Federal government to identify competency gaps. Competency assessment-related tools assist agencies in addressing functions of the Human Capital Framework (HCF) (5 CFR part 250(b)), and in addition to fulfilling legislative requirements of the PMIAA. The competency exploration and assessment tools were built with the intent of being used government-wide for many different occupations, in addition to meeting the program manager and project manager assessment requirements of the PMIAA. These tools are generally created and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 disseminated in an online format with proper security applications in place for the safety of Federal workforce data. The use of the records in this system of records supports agencies in assessing current Federal staffing, skills, and competencies in order to focus on priority training and development areas. Such records, will help agencies to professionalize the critical workforce on an increasing basis, encouraging the application of education, training, and experience to inform critical thinking and expert analysis that will support decision-making and overcome challenges to program implementation and execution. The analysis from competency assessment tools will help to develop Federal employees via a career path that provides experience and mentorship opportunities designed to teach these skillsets. In addition, the HCF (5 CFR part 250(b)) requires agencies to execute several functions related to workforce analysis and planning; talent management; and skill gap closure, including using the OPM-designated method to identify gaps. Furthermore, Chief Human Capital Officers are responsible for workforce assessment, strategy, and development and are entitled to data and information supporting such efforts. Tools and applications that assess competency strengths and gaps will enable the human capital management processes used to cultivate and administer the workforce. It will also help agencies remain current with research and best practices, allow for proactive responses to change, and maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of Human Resource service delivery. OPM also has a statutory responsibility under 5 U.S.C. 1103(c) to guide, enable, and assess agency strategic human capital management processes to find best practices for assessing the management of human capital by federal agencies. The records in this system of records are necessary to administer competency assessment and exploration tools to enable individual and organizational strategies to address skill gaps and support employee development. SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: Federal Competency Assessment Records, OPM/Central-22. SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: Unclassified. SYSTEM LOCATION: Records are maintained by Strategic Workforce Planning, Employee Services, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, DC 20415. E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
