SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: In 2010, the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill caused extensive
damage to the Gulf Coast’s natural
resources, devastating the economies
and communities that rely on it. In an
effort to help the region rebuild in the
wake of the spill, Congress passed and
the President signed the RESTORE Act,
Public Law 112–141, §§ 1601–1608, 126
Stat. 588 (Jul. 6, 2012). The Act created
the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration
Trust Fund (Trust Fund) and dedicates
eighty percent (80%) of any civil and
administrative penalties paid by parties
responsible for the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill under the Clean Water Act, after
the date of enactment, to the Trust
Fund. The ultimate amount of
administrative and civil penalties
potentially available to the Trust Fund
is currently not certain. On January 3,
2013, the United States announced that
Transocean Deepwater Inc. and related
entities agreed to pay $1 billion in civil
penalties for violating the Clean Water
Act in relation to their conduct in the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The
settlement was approved by the court in
February 2013, and pursuant to the Act
approximately $816 million (including
interest) has been paid into the Trust
Fund.
In addition to creating the Trust Fund,
the Act established the Council, which
is chaired by the Secretary of Commerce
and includes the Governors of Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Texas, and the Secretaries of the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture, the Army,
Homeland Security, and the Interior,
and the Administrator of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Under the Act, the Council will
administer a portion of the Trust Fund
known as the Council-Selected
Restoration Component in order to
‘‘undertake projects and programs, using
the best available science, that would
restore and protect the natural
resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine
and wildlife habitats, beaches, coastal
wetlands, and economy of the Gulf
Coast.’’ In August 2013 the Council
approved an Initial Comprehensive Plan
(Initial Plan) (please see http://
www.restorethegulf.gov/sites/default/
files/GCERCCompPlanFactSheet_0.pdf
and http://www.restorethegulf.gov/sites/
default/files/FinalInitialComprehensive
Plan.pdf) that outlines an overarching
vision for Gulf restoration and includes
the following five goals: (1) Restore and
conserve habitat; (2) restore water
quality; (3) replenish and protect living
coastal and marine resources; (4)
enhance community resilience; and (5)
restore and revitalize the gulf economy.

As a supplement to the Initial Plan
and pursuant to the requirement in the
Restore Act to draft a ‘‘prioritized list of
specific projects and programs to be
funded,’’ the Council is now publishing
a draft FPL that proposes the activities
which the Council intends to prioritize
for funding and further consideration.
The Council will carefully review
public and tribal comments, make
appropriate changes, and then finalize
the FPL with appropriate notice in the
Federal Register. Once finalized, the
FPL will serve as the basis for allocating
funds under the Council-Selected
Restoration Component.
The Council seeks public and tribal
comment on all aspects of the draft FPL,
including comments related to the
process used to develop the draft FPL,
the projects and programs contained
therein, and the associated
environmental compliance
documentation.
Summary: The Gulf Coast region is
vital to our nation and our economy,
providing valuable energy resources,
abundant seafood, extraordinary
beaches and recreational activities, and
a rich natural and cultural heritage. Its
waters and coasts are home to one of the
most diverse natural environments in
the world—including over 15,000
species of sea life and millions of
migratory birds. The Gulf has endured
catastrophes, including major
hurricanes such as Katrina, Rita, Gustav
and Ike in the last ten years alone. The
region has also experienced the loss of
critical wetland habitats, erosion of
barrier islands, imperiled fisheries,
water quality degradation and
significant coastal land loss. More
recently, the health of the region’s
ecosystem was significantly affected by
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. As a
result of the oil spill, the Council has
been given the great responsibility of
helping to address ecological challenges
across the Gulf.
The members of the Council
collaborated in creating a draft FPL that
responds to ecological needs regardless
of jurisdictional boundaries. With the
draft FPL, the Council seeks to provide
near-term ‘‘on-the-ground’’ ecosystem
benefits, while also building a planning
and science foundation for future
success. In the draft FPL, the Council
proposes to focus on ten key watersheds
across the Gulf in order to concentrate
and leverage available funds in
addressing critical ecological needs in
high-priority locations. The draft FPL
focuses on habitat and water quality,
and includes restoration and
conservation activities that can be
implemented in the near term. It also
supports project-specific planning

efforts necessary to advance large-scale
restoration. The comprehensive
planning and monitoring efforts
proposed in the draft FPL would
provide Gulf-wide benefits into the
future.
The Council intends to play a key role
in helping to ensure that the Gulf’s
natural resources are sustainable and
available for future generations.
Currently available Gulf restoration
funds and those that may become
available in the future represent a great
responsibility. The ongoing involvement
of the people who live, work and play
in the Gulf region is critical to ensuring
that these monies are used wisely and
effectively. The Council thanks all those
who have participated in the process
thus far, and offers thanks in advance to
those who will take the time to again
offer thoughts on how we can
collectively help restore the Gulf.

Proposed Project
Efficacy Study of a Mobile
Application to Provide Comprehensive
and Medically Accurate Sexual Health
Information for Adolescent Girls—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Despite drastic reductions in teen
births across all racial and ethnic
groups, Black and Latino girls continue
to have disproportionately high rates of
teen births. Increasing girls’ access to
medically accurate and comprehensive
sexual health information is the first
step in sustaining momentum in teen
pregnancy reduction among all racial
and ethnic groups, and in promoting
healthy sexual behaviors, especially
among minority girls.
CDC plans to collect the information
needed to test the efficacy of a
comprehensive and medically accurate
mobile application, titled Crush, in
increasing adolescent girls’

contraception use and clinic visitation
for sexual and reproductive health
services. The information disseminated
via Crush is similar to the sexual health
information youth can access via other
Web sites, sexual health promotion
educational materials or in clinics.
The study will randomize a sample of
1,200 girls, ages 14–18, into two groups:
The intervention group and the control
group. The intervention group will have
access to Crush and will receive weekly
sexual health information via text to the
phones for six months. The control
group will have access to a fitness
mobile application (‘‘app’’) and will
receive general health information via
text to their phones for six months.
Participants are expected to access
either app frequently throughout a six
month period. As part of the analysis,
sexual behavior and key psychosocial
factors will be assessed three points in
time: At baseline, and at three- and sixmonth follow-ups.
Efficacy testing will respond to the
following research questions: Research
Question #1 is: Does exposure to Crush
increase consistent contraception use
among participants? We hypothesize
that participants in the intervention
group will report increased intent to use
effective contraception at three and six
months post-intervention. Research
Question #2 is: Does exposure to Crush
increase clinic utilization rate among
participants? We hypothesize that
participants in the intervention group
will report higher rates of intent to
utilize clinic services at three and six
months post intervention.
The study will also include a usability
testing component to identify the
content and features of Crush that are
most attractive to participants, the
frequency in which Crush was used,
and the navigation patterns within
Crush. Participants will create an
account in the Enrollment Database.
This database will host participants’
enrollment information, basic
demographic information, and will also
track their navigation pattern to monitor
Crush visitation frequency and visit
duration. Navigation data will be used
to assess intervention exposure and
dosage to specific content areas of
Crush. To test real-world utilization of
Crush, control group participants will
gain access to Crush six months after
enrolling into the study, but will not
receive weekly text messages. The study
will track visitation frequency and
duration of each visit. Usability testing
will respond to Research Question #3: Is
media content more attractive to
participants? We hypothesize that
participants in the intervention group

13AUN1

48536

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 156 / Thursday, August 13, 2015 / Notices

will spend more time using media
features than text-based content.
All information will be collected
electronically. This study will collect
data through two mechanisms: (1) Selfadministered online surveys, and (2) the
Crush enrollment database. Participants
will complete a total of three selfadministered online surveys at baseline,
three and six month follow-up. Survey
questions will assess behavior, attitudes,
social norms about sexual behavior,
contraception and clinic utilization, and
satisfaction with Crush.
The mobile response surveys will be
sent to participants via text message
which they can complete on a
smartphone. The estimated burden per
response is 13–20 minutes. Survey

and duration of each visit by User ID
and IP address. Web analytics are
generated for any Web site and are a
standard evaluation mechanism for
assessing the traffic patterns on Web
pages. This technology permits
development of an objective and
quantifiable measure that tracks and
records participants’ exposure to Crush.
This study component does not entail
any response burden to participants.
Findings will be used to inform the
development and delivery of effective
health communications.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

responses will be matched by each
participant’s unique identifying
number. Each participant will receive
up to two survey reminders starting one
week after the initial survey link is sent,
for two consecutive weeks. There are
minor differences in survey content for
the control and intervention groups.
Each participant will create a profile
in the database upon enrollment. This
database will collect initial
demographic and contact information,
informed consent signatures, and
information about the participant’s
navigation pattern through Crush. Any
information entered directly into Crush
interactive features will not be stored in
the system. The database only collects
web analytics data about page visited

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Youth Education and
Relationship Services (YEARS)
Descriptive Study.
OMB No.: New Collection,

Description: Since 2006, Congress has
authorized dedicated funding (currently
at the level of $75 million annually) to
support programs providing healthy
marriage and relationship education
(HMRE). In order to better understand
the services that federally-funded HMRE
programs are providing to youth and the
populations the programs are reaching,
The Office of Planning, Research and
Evaluation (OPRE), within ACF/HHS, is
proposing data collection activity as
part of the Youth Education and
Relationship Services (YEARS)
descriptive study. The data that ACF
proposes to collect includes information
on funding spent serving youth, the
number of youth being served, youth
demographic characteristics,
characteristics of the organizations or
programs serving youth, information on
program curricula and contents, and

program implementation information.
This data is to be collected through a
web-based survey that is to be
completed by HMRE grantee program
staff. This information will be critical to
inform future efforts to improve HMRE
programs serving youth.
Respondents: Healthy marriage and
relationship education (HMRE) grantee
program staff.
Note: To fully address the objectives
outlined for this project, it was determined
that additional information collection beyond
what was proposed in the 60 day Federal
Register notice is necessary. Therefore, the
proposed semi-structured interviews
submitted with this request (including the
site visit screener and semi structured
interviews with Program directors/
Administrators, Facilitators, and Partner
organizations/providers) require additional
burden beyond that originally estimated in
the 60 day Federal Register notice.
