Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2023 / Notices

The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR
89 South Atlantic Tilefish LH–TWG
Data Scoping Webinar are as follows:
Discuss available data resources, points
of contact, data delivery deadlines, and
any known data issues.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2023 / Notices
The OMB
is particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of AmeriCorps, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions;
• Propose ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Propose ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public
comment was published in the Federal
Register on July 31, 2023 at 49453–
49454. This comment period ended
September 29, 2023. No public
comments were received from this
Notice. On September 12, 2023,
AmeriCorps led a focus group with 9
individuals to discuss the burden of the
AmeriCorps Application Questions. The
participants in the focus group were a
mix of VISTA sponsors, and grantees
from AmeriCorps Seniors, AmeriCorps
State and National, and Volunteer
Initiatives. Participants agreed that
AmeriCorps requests a lot of data in its
application but does not communicate
its intentions for the information
collected. They further agreed that
AmeriCorps should more clearly
communicate to those who complete
this information collection why it
requires the level of data collection it
asks for. While the application lists a
burden of 6 hours to complete the
application questions, participants
agreed the actual time spent completing
the application is significantly longer.
For this reason, we have extended the
time burden to 40 hours per
applicant.The application instructions
are often circular, referring back to one
another, and applicants have to
frequently refer back to them (NOFO,
guidance, application instructions).
Participants told AmeriCorps that
navigating these materials in order to
complete this information collection is
extremely burdensome and frustrating.
Their additional suggestions for
minimizing the burden to the public
include: replacing eGrants, providing a

word limit per section rather than a
page limit, and providing clear
checklists of ‘‘must-do’’ items and
criteria to help guide applicants through
the process in a more concrete way.
While many of these changes are not
currently possible in eGrants, these
comments will help inform
improvements to the forthcoming grants
management system.
Title of Collection: AmeriCorps
Application Questions.
OMB Control Number: 3045–0187.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 13,200.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 528,000.
Abstract: The generic application
questions are used by applicants for
funding through AmeriCorps
competitions. The application is
completed electronically using the
Agency’s web-based grants management
system or submitted via email.
AmeriCorps seeks to renew the current
information collection without
revisions. The information collection
will otherwise be used in the same
manner as the existing application.
AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using
the current application until the revised
application is approved by OMB. The
current application is due to expire on
October 30, 2023.
