Number of Respondents: 49.
Average Hours per Response: 13.7.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1004.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision to an approved collection of
information and new information
collection under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
and implementing regulations at 5 CFR
part 1320. The Coral Reef Conservation
Act of 2000, 16 U.S.C. 6401 et seq., has
been amended since the last approval
and the revised requirements for
information collection are outlined
below.
The Coral Reef Conservation Act was
enacted to conserve and restore the
condition of United States coral reef
ecosystems challenged by natural and
human-accelerated changes; to promote
the science-based management and
sustainable use of coral reef ecosystems
to benefit local communities and the
Nation; to develop sound scientific
information on the condition of coral
reef ecosystems, continuing and
emerging threats to such ecosystems,
and the efficacy of innovative tools,
technologies, and strategies to mitigate
stressors and restore such ecosystems; to
assist in the preservation of coral reefs
by supporting science-based, consensusdriven, and community-based coral reef
management by covered States (Florida,
Hawaii, and the territories of American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the United States Virgin
Islands) and covered Native entities (an
Indian Tribe, the Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands, the Office of
Hawaiian Affairs, or a Native Hawaiian
organization with interests in a coral
reef ecosystem); to provide financial
resources, technical assistance, and
scientific expertise to supplement,
complement, and strengthen
community-based management
programs and conservation and
restoration projects of non-Federal reefs;
to establish a formal mechanism for
collecting and allocating monetary
donations from the private sector to be
used for coral reef conservation and
restoration projects; to support rapid,
effective, and science-based assessment
and response to exigent circumstances
that pose immediate and long-term
threats to coral reefs; and to serve as a
model for advancing similar
international efforts to monitor,
conserve, and restore coral reef
ecosystems.
Under section 6406 of the Act (Block
Grants), covered States are responsible
for documenting and reporting the
State’s use of Federal funds received
under the Act; and expenditures of nonFederal funds made in furtherance of

PO 00000

coral reef management and restoration
as the NOAA Administrator
(Administrator) deems appropriate. The
Administrator is responsible for
providing guidance on the proper
documentation of expenditures.
Under section 6410 of the Act (Ruth
D. Gates Coral Reef Conservation Grant
Program), the NOAA Administrator, and
subject to the availability of
appropriations, is authorized to provide
up to $3,500,000 annually (per section
6414(c)) in grants for coral reef
conservation projects.
Under section 6405 of the Act,
Federal agencies, covered State or
County resource management agencies,
and/or covered Native entities may form
and chair stewardship partnerships to
further community-based stewardship
of coral reefs. The NOAA Administrator
is responsible for identifying
ecologically significant coral reef units
that stewardship partnerships may be
focused on and adjudicating multiple
applicants for stewardship of the same
of overlapping reef units to ensure no
geographic overlap in representation
among stewardship partnerships.
The match waiver requests and
request for written comments are being
removed from this collection as they are
no longer applicable. The match waiver
requests may still be made under Ruth
D. Gates but are not expected and not
requested of applicants. They were
included in the original because all
territories (5) requested a match waiver,
however, their awards are now located
in Block Grants, and there is no
matching requirement. The Ruth D.
Gates application process now requires
‘‘evidence of support for the project by
appropriate representatives of States
. . . in which the project will be
conducted’’ on the front end.
Additionally, the Performance
Progress Report (PPR) from collection
0648–0718 is being added to this
collection so that all program
requirements are under a single control
number. The PPR will be removed from
0648–0718 at the next renewal period.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; nonprofit,
nongovernmental, and not-for-profit
institutions; state or local government;
institutions of higher education; and
regional fishery management councils
established under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.).
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits for grant-related
collections, or voluntary for coral reef
stewardship partnership submissions.
