Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Sea Grant Program Application Requirements for Grants, for Sea
Grant Fellowships, Including the Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy

The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on December 13, 2023, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Sea Grant Program Application Requirements for Grants, for
Sea Grant Fellowships, including the Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy
Fellowships, and for Designation as a Sea Grant College or Sea Grant
Institution.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0362.
Form Number(s): NOAA Forms 90-1, 90-2, and 90-4.
Type of Request: Regular submission [extension of a current
information collection].
Number of Respondents: 680.
Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes for a Sea Grant Control
form; 20 minutes for a Project Record Form; 15 minutes for a Sea Grant
Budget form; and 20 hours for an application for designation as a Sea
Grant college or Sea Grant institute.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,091.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for extension of an existing
information collection.
The objectives of the National Sea Grant College Program, as stated
in the Sea Grant legislation (33 U.S.C. 1121 et seq.) are to increase
the understanding, assessments, development, utilization, and
conservation of the Nation's ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources.
It accomplishes these objectives by conducting research, education, and
outreach programs. Grant monies are available for funding activities
that help obtain the objectives of the Sea Grant Program. Both single
and multi-project grants are awarded, with the latter representing
approximately 80 percent of the total grant program. In addition to
other standard grant application requirements, three forms are required
with the grants. The Sea Grant Control Form (NOAA Form 90-1) is used to
identify the organizations and personnel who would be involved in the
grant and briefly summarize the proposed activities under the grant.
The Project Record Form (NOAA Form 90-2), which collects summary data
on projects, helps the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO)
[[Page 16734]]
evaluate the proposals during its funding decisions. The Sea Grant
Budget Form (NOAA Form 90-4) provides information similar to, but more
detailed than, standardized budget forms SF-424A or SF-424C, and allows
the NSGO to determine whether or not the breakdown cost of multi-
project grant awards is reasonable. Collectively, the data supplied in
these documents form the basis for many of NSGO's responses to the
Administration, the Congress, other agencies, and to the public about
the scope of Sea Grant activities.
The National Sea Grant College Program Act (33 U.S.C. 1126) also
provides for the designation of a public or private institution of
higher education, institute, laboratory, or State or local agency as a
Sea Grant college or Sea Grant institute. Applications are required for
designation of Sea Grant Colleges and Sea Grant Institutes, although no
forms are required. The data the collection provides helps the National
Sea Grant Office determine the suitability of the applicant for meeting
the standards and conditions for being a Sea Grant College as set forth
in 33 U.S.C. 1126 and 15 CFR 918.5.
Affected Public: Academic and not-for-profit institutions;
individuals or households; business or other for-profit organizations;
State, local, or Tribal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1121 et seq.
