Abstract: EDMAP is the educational
component of the National Cooperative
Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP)
that is intended to train the next
generation of geologic mappers. The
primary objective of the STATEMAP
component of the NCGMP is to establish
the geologic framework of areas that are
vital to the welfare of individual States.
The NCGMP EDMAP program
allocates funds to colleges and
universities in the United States and
Puerto Rico through an annual
competitive cooperative agreement
process. Every Federal dollar awarded is
matched with university funds.
Geology professors, who are skilled in
geologic mapping, request EDMAP
funding to support undergraduate and
graduate students at their college or
university in a one-year mentored
geologic mapping project that focuses
on a specific geographic area.
Only State Geological Surveys are
eligible to apply to the STATEMAP
component of the NCGMP pursuant to
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148). Since many State
Geological Surveys are organized under
a state university system, such
universities may submit a proposal on
behalf of the State Geological Survey.
Each fall, the program announcements
are posted to the Grants.gov website and
respondents are required to submit
applications (comprising Standard Form
424, 424A, 424B, Proposal Summary
Sheet, the Proposal, and Budget Sheets.
Additionally, EDMAP proposals must
include a Negotiated Rate Agreement
and a Support letter from a State
Geologist or USGS Project Chief).
Since 1996, more than $10 million
from the NCGMP has supported
geologic mapping efforts of more than
1,335 students at 171 universities in 44
states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. Funds for graduate projects
are limited to $25,000 and
undergraduate project funds limited to

$15,000. These funds are used to cover
field expenses and student salaries, but
not faculty salaries or tuition. The
authority for both programs is listed in
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148).
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.
Title of Collection: National
Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
(NCGMP–EDMAP and STATEMAP).
OMB Control Number: 1028–0088.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:

Geological Surveys.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

University or College faculty and 45
State Geological Survey respondents.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: Total number of responses is

College faculty and 90 State Geological
Survey responses.
Estimated Completion Time per

Indian Gaming; Approval by Operation
of Law of Tribal-State Class III Gaming
Compact in the State of Florida
AGENCY:

Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Interior.
ACTION:

Notice.

This notice publishes the
approval by operation law of the
Compact Between the Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Tribe) and the State of Florida
(State).

SUMMARY:

The compacts take effect on
August 11, 2021.

DATES:

Ms.
Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of Indian
Gaming, Mailstop 3543, 1849 C Street
NW, Washington, DC 20240, telephone
(202) 219–4066, [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988,
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., (IGRA) provides
the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary)
with 45 days to review and approve or
disapprove a Tribal-State compact
governing the conduct of class III
gaming activity on the Tribe’s Indian
lands. 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8). If the
Secretary does not approve or
disapprove a Tribal-State compact
within the 45 days, IGRA provides that
the Tribal-State compact is considered
to have been approved by the Secretary
but only to the extent the compact is
consistent with IGRA. 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(C). The IGRA also requires
the Secretary of the Interior to publish
in the Federal Register notice of
approved Tribal-State compacts for the
purpose of engaging in Class III gaming
activities on Indian lands. 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8(D). The Department’s
regulations at 25 CFR 293.4, require all
compacts and amendments to be
reviewed and approved by the Secretary
prior to taking effect. The Secretary took
no action on the Compact between the
Tribe and the State. Therefore, the
Compact is considered to have been
approved, but only to the extent it is
consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(C).
