SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Convention and the Commission
The objective of the Convention is to
ensure, through effective management,
the long-term conservation and
sustainable use of highly migratory fish
stocks in the western and central Pacific
Ocean in accordance with the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS) and
the Agreement for the Implementation
of the Provisions of the UNCLOS
Relating to the Conservation and
Management of Straddling Fish Stocks
and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. The
Convention establishes the Commission,
the secretariat of which is based in
Pohnpei, Federated States of
Micronesia.
The Convention applies to all highly
migratory fish stocks (defined as all fish
stocks of the species listed in Annex I
of the UNCLOS occurring in the
Convention Area, and such other
species of fish as the Commission may
determine), except sauries.
The United States actively supported
the negotiations and the development of
the Convention and signed the
Convention when it was opened for
signature in 2000. It participated as a
cooperating non-member of the
Commission since it became operational
in 2005. The United States became a
Contracting Party to the Convention and
a full member of the Commission when
it ratified the Convention in January
2007. Under the Act, the United States

Commerce, in consultation with the
U.S. Commissioners to the Commission,
will appoint individuals as members of
the advisory committee established
under the Act, referred to here as the

The appointed members of the
Permanent Advisory Committee are to
include not less than 15 nor more than
20 individuals selected from the various
groups concerned with the fisheries
covered by the Convention, providing,
to the extent practicable, an equitable
balance among such groups. On behalf
of the Secretary of Commerce, NMFS is
now seeking nominations for these
appointments.
In addition to the 15–20 appointed
members, the Permanent Advisory
Committee includes the chair of the
Western Pacific Fishery Management
Council’s Advisory Committee (or
designee), and officials of the fisheries
management authorities of American
Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (or their
designees).
Members of the Permanent Advisory
Committee will be invited to attend all
non-executive meetings of the U.S.
Commissioners to the Commission and
at such meetings will be given
opportunity to examine and be heard on
all proposed programs of investigation,
reports, recommendations, and
regulations of the Commission.
Each appointed member of the
Permanent Advisory Committee will
serve for a term of 2 years and is eligible
for reappointment. This request for
nominations is for the term to begin on
August 3, 2021, and is for a term of 2
consecutive years.
The Secretaries of Commerce and
State will furnish the Permanent
Advisory Committee with relevant
information concerning fisheries and
international fishery agreements.
NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce, will provide to the
Permanent Advisory Committee
administrative and technical support
services as are necessary for its effective
functioning.

Advisory Committee will serve without

ADDRESSES: SEAs are encouraged to
submit data online using the interactive

collection website at: https://
surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs. The
NPEFS interactive survey includes a
digital confirmation page where a
personal identification number (PIN)
may be entered. A successful entry of
the PIN serves as a signature by the
authorizing official. Alternatively, a
certification form also may be printed
from the website, signed by the
authorizing official, and mailed to the
Economic Reimbursable Surveys
Division of the Census Bureau at the
Washington, DC, address provided
above, within five business days after

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 153(a)(1)(I) of the Education
Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C.
9543(a)(1)(I), which authorizes NCES to
gather data on the financing and
management of education, NCES
collects data annually from SEAs
through ED Form 2447. The report from
SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and
expenditure data from which NCES
determines a State’s ‘‘average per-pupil
expenditure’’ (SPPE) for elementary and
secondary education, as defined in
section 8101(2) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7801(2)).
In addition to using the SPPE data as
general information on the financing of
elementary and secondary education,
the Secretary uses these data directly in
calculating allocations for certain
formula grant programs, including, but
not limited to, title I, part A, of the
ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian
Education programs. Other programs,
such as the Education for Homeless
Children and Youth program under title
VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act, and the Student Support
and Academic Enrichment Grants under
title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of
SPPE data indirectly because their
formulas are based, in whole or in part,
on State title I, part A, allocations.
In January 2021, the Census Bureau,
acting as the data collection agent for
NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to
SEAs, with instructions, and will
request that SEAs commence submitting
FY 2020 data to the Census Bureau on
Thursday, January 29, 2021. SEAs are
urged to submit accurate and complete
