Review Process and Evaluation Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated by the
Brennan Matching Fund Program
Management Team. Submissions will be
ranked based on the following criteria:
1. Project justification (30 points)—
This criterion ascertains whether there
is intrinsic IOCM value in the proposed
work and/or relevance to NOAA
missions and priorities, including
downstream partner proposals and uses.
Use of, and reference to, national
priorities on climate and infrastructure,
NOMEC, ACMS and the Coast Survey
Ocean Mapping Plan (all available at
https://iocm.noaa.gov/about/strategicplans.html); gap assessment tools such
as the U.S. Bathymetry Gap Analysis
(https://iocm.noaa.gov/seabed-2030bathymetry.html); and the U.S.
Interagency Elevation Inventory (https://
catalog.data.gov/dataset/united-statesinteragency-elevation-inventory-usiei),
among others, are recommended. Coast
Survey’s Hydrographic Health Model
showing priority survey areas for
navigation safety is available upon
request. The U.S. Federal Mapping
Coordination site shows current Coast
Survey and NGS mapping plans
(fedmap.seasketch.org); email
iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov for assistance
with the layers on this site if needed.
2. Statement of need (10 points)—
This criterion assesses clarity of project
need, partner project funding
alternatives if not selected, anticipated
outcomes and public benefit.
3. Specified partner match (20
points)—The proposal identifies a point
of contact for the entity submitting the
proposal, as well as any partnering
entities, a clear statement on partner
matching funds provenance (e.g., state
appropriations, NGO funds, or other
sources), and timing of funds
availability. In-kind contributions are
welcome to strengthen the proposal, but
do not count toward the funding match
and are not required.
4. Project costs (15 points)—This
criterion evaluates whether the
proposed budget is realistic and
commensurate with the proposed
project needs and timeframe. If needed,
please contact iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov
for a rough estimate of cost per square
nautical mile for surveys in a particular
region; this figure will not be exact, as
actual cost will be negotiated by region
and scale of project.
5. Project feasibility and flexibility (25
points)—This criterion assesses the
likelihood that the proposal would
succeed based on survey conditions at
the proposed time of year, such as
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:07 Jul 26, 2021
Jkt 253001
project size, location, weather, NOAA
analysis of environmental compliance
implications, project flexibility and
adaptability to existing NOAA plans
and schedules, and other factors.
During the proposal review period,
NOAA reserves the right to engage with
proposal points of contact to ask
questions and provide feedback on
project costs and feasibility.
Management and Oversight
Once selections are made, NOAA will
coordinate the development of the
memoranda of agreement, funding
transfers, project planning,
environmental compliance, acquisition
awards and quality assurance process.
NOAA may bring in additional partners
and/or funding (Federal and/or nonFederal) to expand a project further if
feasible. Projects will be reviewed by
NOAA on an annual basis to ensure
they are responsive to partner interests
and NOAA mission requirements, and
to identify opportunities for outreach
and education on the societal benefits of
the work.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension and
revision of a current information
collection.
Participants in most federally
managed fisheries in the NMFS
Southeast Region are currently required
to keep and submit catch and effort
logbooks from their fishing trips. A
subset of fishermen on these vessels also
provides information on the species and
quantities of fish, shellfish, marine
turtles, and marine mammals that are
caught and discarded or have interacted
with the fishing gear. A subset of
fishermen on these vessels also provides
information about dockside prices, trip
operating costs, and annual fixed costs.
An intercept survey for vessels with
Federal charter vessel/headboat permits
is designed to support and validate the
electronic logbooks.
The data are used for scientific
analyses that support critical
conservation and management decisions
made by national and international
fishery management organizations.
Interaction reports are needed for
fishery management planning and to
help protect endangered species and
marine mammals. Price and cost data
will be used in analyses of the economic
effects of proposed and existing
regulations.
Regulatory Amendment 29 effective
July 15, 2020 would require at least one
descending device to be on board and
ready for use on commercial, for-hire,
and private recreational vessels while
fishing for or possessing snappergrouper species in the South Atlantic.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 27, 2021 / Notices
Most recently the Descend Act was
passed, which added a new section 321
to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act.
This requires commercial and
recreational fishermen to possess a
venting tool or descending device that is
rigged and ready for use when fishing
for reef fish in the Gulf Exclusive
Economic Zone.
Descending devices increase
survivability from barotrauma, which is
injury caused by internal gas expansion
when reeled up from depth. In addition
to being asked to report the number of
fish released respondents would be
asked to report the number of fish
released with descending devices as
part of their current logbook
submissions. The purpose of asking
respondents to distinguish between fish
releases without descending devices
and fish released with descending
devices is to provide data needed by
NMFS to accurately account for fishing
mortality when performing stock
assessments.
NMFS seeks to revise this collection
to add an additional question to the
recreational Headboat part of the
collection to make it more consistent
with the data collected through the
commercial discard logbook. The new
column (#DESCENDED) will be added
to the (#KEPT) and (#RELEASED)
columns that are currently on the form.
This will provide fishermen an
opportunity to report which unwanted
fish will be released to the bottom of the
ocean, providing them a better chance at
survival.
