Download as PDF 4002 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2022 / Notices DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Limits of Application of Take Prohibitions National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Notice of information collection, request for comment. AGENCY: The Department of Commerce, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment preceding submission of the collection to OMB. DATES: To ensure consideration, comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before March 28, 2022. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments to Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer, at NOAA.PRA@noaa.gov. Please reference OMB Control Number 0648– 0399 in the subject line of your comments. Do not submit Confidential Business Information or otherwise sensitive or protected information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or specific questions related to collection activities should be directed to Gary Rule, NOAA Fisheries, 1201 NE Lloyd Blvd., Suite 1100, Portland, OR 97232, (503) 230–5424 or gary.rule@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: I. Abstract This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. Section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) requires the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to adopt such regulations as it ‘‘deems necessary and advisable to provide for the conservation of’’ threatened species. Those regulations may include any or all of the prohibitions provided in section 9(a)(1) of the ESA, which specifically prohibits ‘‘take’’ of any endangered species (‘‘take’’ includes VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Jan 25, 2022 Jkt 256001 actions that harass, harm, pursue, kill, or capture). The first salmonid species listed by NMFS as threatened were protected by virtually blanket application of the section 9 take prohibitions. There are now 23 separate Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of west coast salmonids listed as threatened, covering a large percentage of the land base in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. NMFS is obligated to enact necessary and advisable protective regulations. NMFS makes section 9 prohibitions generally applicable to many of those threatened DPS, but also seeks to respond to requests from states and others to both provide more guidance on how to protect threatened salmonids and avoid take, and to limit the application of take prohibitions wherever warranted (see 70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005, 71 FR 834, January 5, 2006, and 73 FR 55451, September 25, 2008). The regulations describe programs or circumstances that contribute to the conservation of, or are being conducted in a way that limits impacts on, listed salmonids. Because we have determined that such programs/circumstances adequately protect listed salmonids, the regulations do not apply the ‘‘take’’ prohibitions to them. Some of these limits on the take prohibitions entail voluntary submission of a plan to NMFS and/or annual or occasional reports by entities wishing to take advantage of these limits, or continue within them. The currently approved application and reporting requirements apply to Pacific marine and anadromous fish species. II. Method of Collection Submissions may be electronically or on paper. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Partnership with EVERFI to Study High School Students’ Estimation of College Costs. OMB Control Number: 3170–0048. Type of Review: Request for approval of a generic information collection VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Jan 25, 2022 Jkt 256001 under an existing Generic Information Collection Plan. Affected Public: Individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,667. Abstract: The Bureau plans to engage in research under its authority to conduct research on ‘‘consumer awareness and understanding of costs, risks, and benefits of consumer financial products and service.’’ To this end, the Bureau plans to partner with EVERFI, Inc. (a provider of financial education services) to distribute a survey about student loans and the costs of attending college through their proprietary software. Previous research has indicated that students tend to err in estimating the costs of attending college and the costs of borrowing student loans that are used to attend college. This survey will ask questions to measure high school students’ expectations about college costs and the costs of borrowing student loans. The survey will then include a randomized experiment where some students are shown information about the average net costs of college, the cost of borrowing student loans, and the availability of certain income-driven repayment programs. Students will answer a battery of questions about their anticipated college attendance, major choice, and likelihood of borrowing student loans. The randomized experiment will measure the effect of the information treatments on the students’ reported postsecondary plans. Doing so will contribute to our understanding of providing certain pieces of information that may affect students’ postsecondary education plans. The survey will involve U.S. high school students as respondents. The CFPB will distribute the survey as an addendum to EVERFI, Inc.’s main survey of students that enroll in EVERFI’s Financing Higher Education, course. The CFPB survey will contain mostly questions about the respondents’ estimates of college costs, the cost of borrowing student loans, and the questions about their post-high school plans discussed above. The CFPB will also receive the responses to EVERFI’s main survey which includes demographic questions about the students as well as questions measuring their college enrollment intentions, preparations, and perceptions. Request for Comments: The Bureau is publishing this notice and soliciting comments on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau, including whether the PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4003 information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions used; (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.
