2. Support for development and
demonstration of the Domain Name
System-Based Security for
Electronic Mail Building Block in
NCCoE facilities which will be
conducted in a manner consistent
with Federal requirements (e.g.,
FIPS 200, FIPS 201, SP 800–53, and
SP 800–63)
In addition, NIST will support
development of interfaces among
participants’ products by providing IT
infrastructure, laboratory facilities,
office facilities, collaboration facilities,
and staff support to component
composition, security platform
documentation, and demonstration
activities.
The dates of the demonstration of the
Domain Name System-Based Security
for Electronic Mail Building Block
capability will be announced on the
NCCoE Web site at least two weeks in
advance at http://nccoe.nist.gov/. The
expected outcome of the demonstration
is to improve domain name systembased security for electronic mail within
the enterprise. Participating
organizations will gain from the
knowledge that their products are
interoperable with other participants’
offerings.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Environmental Compliance
Questionnaire for National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration Federal
Financial Assistance Applicants.

Jkt 238001

OMB Control Number: 0648–0538.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision
and extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Average Hours per Response: One to
three hours.
Burden Hours: 3,000.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. The
National Environmental Policy Act
(‘‘NEPA’’; 42 U.S.C. 4321–4370) requires
federal agencies to complete an
environmental analysis for all major
federal actions, including funding nonfederal projects through federal
financial assistance awards where
Federal participation in the funded
activity is expected to be significant.
This Environmental Compliance
Questionnaire for National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration Federal
Financial Assistance Applicants
(Questionnaire) is used by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) to collect
information about proposed activities
for NEPA and other environmental
compliance requirements associated
with proposed projects, such as federal
consultations. The Questionnaire is
used in conjunction with NOAA
Funding Opportunity Announcements
(FOA). Applicants are required to
provide only the information from this
Questionnaire that is specified in the
FOA to which they are applying. The
FOA may present these questions in one
of two ways: (1) The applicable
questions can be inserted directly into
the FOA with reference to the OMB
Control Number (0648–0538) for this
form; or (2) The FOA can specify which
questions (e.g. 1, 2) an applicant must
answer, with the entire OMB-approved
Questionnaire attached to the FOA. This
Questionnaire has been revised to (1)
remove repetitive questions; (2) revise
specific questions to use plain language
instead of NEPA-specific language; and
(3) add questions that would be helpful
to a wider range of NOAA programs.
The revision reduced the overall
number of questions by 22.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations; not-for-profit institutions;
state, local, or tribal government; and
federal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.

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

E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM

06OCN1

60366

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 193 / Tuesday, October 6, 2015 / Notices

prohibitions provided in section 9(a)(1)
of the ESA, which specifically prohibits
‘‘take’’ of any endangered species
(‘‘take’’ includes 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 22 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, as requirements regarding other
species are being addressed in a
separate information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents will be commercial
fishing industry individuals,
partnerships, and corporations which
entered into Capital Construction Fund
(CCF) agreements with the Secretary of
Commerce allowing deferral of Federal
taxation on fishing vessel income
deposited into the fund for use in the
acquisition, construction, or
reconstruction of fishing vessels.
Deferred taxes are recaptured by
reducing an agreement vessel’s basis for
depreciation by the amount withdrawn
from the fund for its acquisition,
construction, or reconstruction. The
interim Capital Construction Fund
Agreement and Certificate Family of
Forms is required pursuant to 50 CFR
part 259.30 and Public Law 99–514 (The
Tax Reform Act, 1986). The deposit/
withdrawal information collected from
agreement holders is required pursuant
to 50 CFR part 259.35 and Pub L. 99–
514. The information collected from
applicants for the Interim CCF
Agreement is used to determine their
eligibility to participate in the CCF
Program. The information collected
from agreement holders for the
Certificate Family of Forms is used to
identify their program eligible vessels,
their program projects and to certify the
cost of a project at completion. The
information collected on the deposit/
withdrawal report form is required to
ensure that agreement holders are
complying with fund deposit/
withdrawal requirements established in
program regulations and properly
accounting for fund activity on their
Federal income tax returns. The
information collected on the deposit/
withdrawal report must also be reported
semi-annually to the Secretary of
Treasury in accordance with the Tax
Reform Act.
