Release, and Identification Workshops
have been conducted since 2006.
In addition to vessel owners, at least
one operator on board vessels issued a
limited-access swordfish or shark
permit that uses longline or gillnet gear
is required to attend a Safe Handling,

and receive a certificate. Vessels that
have been issued a limited-access
swordfish or shark permit and that use
longline or gillnet gear may not fish
unless both the vessel owner and
operator have valid workshop
certificates onboard at all times. Vessel
operators who have not already
attended a workshop and received a
NMFS certificate, or vessel operators
whose certificate(s) will expire prior to
their next fishing trip, must attend a
workshop to operate a vessel with
swordfish and shark limited-access
permits on which longline or gillnet
gear is used.

To ensure that workshop certificates
are linked to the correct permits,
participants will need to bring the
following specific items with them to
the workshop:
• Individual vessel owners must
bring a copy of the appropriate
swordfish and/or shark permit(s), a copy
of the vessel registration or
documentation, and proof of
identification;
• Representatives of a businessowned or co-owned vessel must bring
proof that the individual is an agent of
the business (such as articles of
incorporation), a copy of the applicable
swordfish and/or shark permit(s), and
proof of identification; and
• Vessel operators must bring proof of
identification.

Online Recertification Workshops
NMFS implemented an online option
for shark dealers and longline and
gillnet fishermen to renew their
certificates in December 2021. To be
eligible for online recertification
workshops, dealers and fishermen need
to have previously attended an inperson workshop. Information about the
courses is available online at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/atlantic-highlymigratory-species/atlantic-sharkidentification-workshops and https://

to teach longline and gillnet fishermen
the required techniques for the safe
handling and release of entangled and/
or hooked protected species, such as sea
turtles, marine mammals, smalltooth
sawfish, Atlantic sturgeon, and
prohibited sharks. In an effort to
improve reporting, the proper
identification of protected species and
prohibited sharks will also be taught at
these workshops. Additionally,
individuals attending these workshops
will gain a better understanding of the
requirements for participating in these
fisheries. The overall goal of these
workshops is to provide participants
with the skills needed to reduce the
mortality of protected species and
prohibited sharks, which may prevent
additional regulations on these fisheries
in the future.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Notices
Abstract: The Program for
International Student Assessments
(PISA) is an international assessment of
15-year-olds, which focuses on
assessing students’ reading,
mathematics, and science literacy. PISA
was first administered in 2000 and is
typically conducted every three years.
The United States has participated in all
of the previous cycles and planned to
participate in 2021 in order to track
trends and to compare the performance
of U.S. students with that of students in
other education systems. PISA is
sponsored by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). In the United
States, PISA is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), within the U.S. Department of
Education. In each administration of
PISA, one of the subject areas (reading,
mathematics, or science literacy) is the
major domain and has the broadest
content coverage, while the other two
subjects are the minor domains. PISA
emphasizes functional skills that
students have acquired as they near the
end of mandatory schooling (aged 15
years), and students’ knowledge and
skills gained both in and out of school
environments. The next administration
of PISA will focus on mathematics
literacy as the major domain. Reading
and science literacy will also be
assessed as minor domains, with
additional assessment of financial
literacy. In addition to the cognitive
assessments described above, PISA 2022
will include questionnaires
administered to school principals and
assessed students. To prepare for the
main study, PISA countries will
conduct a field test in the spring of the
year previous, primarily to evaluate
newly developed assessment and
questionnaire items but also to test the
assessment operations. The request to
conduct PISA 2021 main study
recruitment and field test was approved
in December 2019 (OMB# 1850–0755
v.23–24). This request: (1) Updates the
package to reflect all of the changes
made to respond to the global
coronavirus pandemic, including
delaying the field test that was
previously scheduled for 2020 to 2021
and the main study data collection to
2022; (2) updates the field test
recruitment materials and student
video; (3) adds COVID–19 protocols; (4)
replaces the state, district and school
letters for the 2021 field test and 2022
main study; and (5) adds coronavirus
pandemic-related items in the school
and student questionnaires.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Technical Assistance and
Dissemination to Improve Services and
Results for Children with Disabilities
program is to promote academic
achievement and to improve results for
children with disabilities by providing
technical assistance (TA), supporting
model demonstration projects,
disseminating useful information, and
implementing activities that are
supported by scientifically based
research.
Priority: This competition includes
one absolute priority. In accordance
with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(v), this
priority is from allowable activities
specified in the statute (see sections 663
and 681(d) of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); 20
U.S.C. 1463 and 1481(d)).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2022 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applications from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Early Childhood Systems Technical
Assistance Center.
Background:
Improving educational outcomes for
children with disabilities is an essential
element of our national policy of
ensuring equality of opportunity, full
participation, independent living, and
economic self-sufficiency for
individuals with disabilities. Infants,
toddlers, and preschool children (young
children) with disabilities and their
families need equitable learning
opportunities that help them achieve
their full potential as engaged learners
and contributing members of society.
Enhancing equity for young children
with disabilities requires early
childhood systems that support
equitable identification for IDEA
services and equitable access to highquality, inclusive early childhood
programs, and evidence-based 1 and
1 For the purposes of this priority, ‘‘evidencebased practices’’ means practices that, at a
minimum, demonstrate a rationale (as defined in 34
CFR 77.1), where a key project component included
in the project’s logic model is informed by research
