• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: the target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
The information collection will be
used in the same manner as the current
information collection.
AmeriCorps also seeks to continue
using the currently approved
information collection until the revised
information collection is approved by
OMB. The currently approved
information collection is due to expire
on February 28, 2023.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval. Comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including

Jkt 259001
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (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;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. All written comments will
be available for public inspection on
regulations.gov.

Associate Director of Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Notice of Availability of Uniform
National Discharge Standards (UNDS)
for Vessels of the Armed Forces—
Phase III Batch Two
Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment, Department of Defense
(DoD).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
DoD has developed internal
regulations on the design, construction,
installation, and use of marine pollution
control devices (MCPDs) to meet
performance standards for 11 discharges
incidental to the normal operation of a
vessel of the Armed Forces into the
navigable waters of the United States,
the territorial seas, and the contiguous
zone, and is making them publicly
available.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mike Pletke; Chief of Naval Operations
(N45), 2000 Navy Pentagon (Rm 2D253),
Washington DC 20350–2000; (703) 695–
5184; michael.r.pletke.civ@us.navy.mil.
Section
312 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as
amended by Section 325 of the National
Defense Authorization Act of 1996,
requires the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and DoD to develop
Uniform National Discharge Standards
(UNDS) to control certain discharges
incidental to the normal operation of a
vessel of the Armed Forces. The EPA
and DoD have already issued required
joint rules (64 FR 25126 (May 10, 1999)
and 85 FR 43465 (July 17, 2020), 40 CFR
part 1700). This notice announces that
DoD is also issuing a DoD-only internal
regulation as part of this requirement.
Although issued by DoD alone, the
regulation will apply (by agreement
with the Department of Homeland
Security) not only to DoD but also to the
U.S. Coast Guard (at all times, including
when it is a Service in the Department
of Homeland Security).
Section 312(n)(4) of the CWA requires
DoD, in consultation with EPA and the
Secretary of the Department in which
the U.S. Coast Guard is operating, to
promulgate regulations governing the
design, construction, installation, and
use of MPCDs necessary to meet the
discharge performance standards
established in the EPA-DoD joint rules.
The DoD internal regulations are issued
under the authority of the Secretary in
DoD Manual 4715.06, Volume 4,
‘‘Regulations on Vessels Owned or
Operated by the Department of Defense:
Discharges Incidental to Normal
Operations,’’ which can be found at:
https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/
Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/
471506_vol4.PDF. There is no notice
and comment requirement for the DoD
internal regulations because they are
internal to the Department and to the
Coast Guard and otherwise exempt by 5
U.S.C. 553 (a)(1) and (2). Furthermore,
EPA and DoD provided for notice and
comment during the promulgation of
the joint EPA-DoD regulations, as
required by the CWA.
Because EPA and DoD determined
that the joint EPA-DoD regulations, once
finalized, would have federalism
implications, they had several rounds of
consultations with state and local
governments during the promulgation of
the joint EPA-DoD regulations, as
described in the final rule at 85 FR
43465, July 17, 2020.
