Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Environmental Compliance Questionnaire for National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration Federal Financial Assistance Applicants.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0538.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Average Hours per Response: One to three hours.
    Burden Hours: 3,000.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection. The National Environmental 
Policy Act (``NEPA''; 42 U.S.C. 4321-4370) requires federal agencies to 
complete an environmental analysis for all major federal actions, 
including funding non-federal projects through federal financial 
assistance awards where Federal participation in the funded activity is 
expected to be significant. This Environmental Compliance Questionnaire 
for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Federal Financial 
Assistance Applicants (Questionnaire) is used by the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to collect information about 
proposed activities for NEPA and other environmental compliance 
requirements associated with proposed projects, such as federal 
consultations. The Questionnaire is used in conjunction with NOAA 
Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA). Applicants are required to 
provide only the information from this Questionnaire that is specified 
in the FOA to which they are applying. The FOA may present these 
questions in one of two ways: (1) The applicable questions can be 
inserted directly into the FOA with reference to the OMB Control Number 
(0648-0538) for this form; or (2) The FOA can specify which questions 
(e.g. 1, 2) an applicant must answer, with the entire OMB-approved 
Questionnaire attached to the FOA. This Questionnaire has been revised 
to (1) remove repetitive questions; (2) revise specific questions to 
use plain language instead of NEPA-specific language; and (3) add 
questions that would be helpful to a wider range of NOAA programs. The 
revision reduced the overall number of questions by 22.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit organizations; not-for-profit institutions; state, local, or 
tribal government; and federal government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: October 1, 2015.
