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: 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 (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 162.
    Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes for a Sea Grant Control 
form; 22 minutes for a Project Record Form; 15 minutes for a Sea Grant 
Budget form; 2 hours to apply for a Sea Grant Fellowship and 20 hours 
for an application for designation as a Sea Grant college or Sea Grant 
institute.
    Burden Hours: 868.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection. There will be minor changes 
to some of the forms.
    The objectives of the National Sea Grant College Program, as stated 
in the Sea Grant legislation (33 U.S.C. 1121-1131) 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 about 80 percent of 
the total grant program. In addition to other standard grant 
application requirements, three forms are required with the grants. 
These are the Sea Grant Control Form 90-2, 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 90-1, which collects summary data on projects; and the Sea 
Grant Budget Form 90-4, which provides information similar to, but more 
detailed than on, forms SF-424A or SF-424C.
    The National Sea Grant College Program Act (33 U.S.C. 1126) 
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.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit institutions; not-for 
profit institutions; state, local or tribal governments; individuals or 
households.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.

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: December 18, 2017.
