Discussion
CRADAs are authorized under 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the
transfer of technology to the private
sector for commercial use, as well as
specified research or development
efforts that are consistent with the
mission of the Federal parties to the
CRADA. The Federal party or parties
agree with one or more non-Federal
parties to share research resources, but
the Federal party does not contribute
funding.
CRADAs are not procurement
contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the
contracting process. CRADAs have a
specific purpose and should not be
confused with procurement contracts,
grants, and other type of agreements.
Under the proposed CRADA, the R&D
Center will collaborate with one nonFederal participant. Together, the R&D
Center and the non-Federal participant
will collect information/data for
performance, reliability, maintenance
requirements, and other data on diesel
outboard engines. After an initial
performance test, the Coast Guard plans
to operate to test and evaluate the
designated platform outfitted with the
diesel outboard engine technology for a
period of six months.
We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include the following:
(1) Work with non-Federal participant
to develop the test plan to be executed
under the CRADA;
(2) Provide the test platform, test
platform support, facilities, and seek all
required approvals for testing under the
CRADA;
(3) Prepare the test platform for diesel
outboard engine install and operations;
(4) Provide fuel and test platform
operators for the performance and
reliability, maintenance, and availability
testing;
(5) Collect and analyze data in
accordance with the CRADA test plan;
and
(6) Work with non-Federal participant
to develop a Final Report, which will
document the methodologies, findings,
conclusions, and recommendations of
this CRADA work.
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participants’ contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the
following:
1 The statute confers this authority on the head of
each Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS’s
authority is delegated to the Coast Guard and other
DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.

(1) Work with R&D Center to develop
the test plan to be executed under the
CRADA;
(2) Provide the technical data package
for all equipments, including
dimensions, weight, power
requirements, and other technical
considerations for the additional
components to be utilized under this
CRADA;
(3) Provide for shipment, delivery,
and install of diesel outboard engines
required for testing under this CRADA;
(4) Provide technical oversight,
technical engine, and operator training
on the engines provided for testing
under this CRADA; and
(5) Provide/pay for travel and other
associated personnel costs and other
required expenses.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or no proposals submitted for this
CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of
proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in
response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are
expected to be unclassified and have no
more than five single-sided pages
(excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12,
etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the
basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, the Coast Guard is
considering Mercury for participation in
this CRADA. This consideration is
based on the fact that Mercury has
demonstrated its technical ability as the
developer and manufacturer of diesel
outboard engines. However, we do not
wish to exclude other viable
participants from this or future similar
CRADAs.
This is a technology assessment effort.
The goal for the Coast Guard of this
CRADA is to better understand the
advantages, disadvantages, required
technology enhancements, performance,
costs, and other issues associated with
diesel outboard engines. Special
consideration will be given to small
business firms/consortia, and preference
will be given to business units located
in the U.S. This notice is issued under
the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

Title: Exportation of Used-Propelled
Vehicles
OMB Number: 1651–0054
Abstract: CBP regulations require an
individual attempting to export a used
self-propelled vehicle to furnish
documentation to CBP, at the port of
export, the vehicle and documentation
describing the vehicle, which includes
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
or, if the vehicle does not have a VIN,
the product identification number.
Exportation of a vehicle will be
permitted only upon compliance with
these requirements. This requirement
does not apply to vehicles that were
entered into the United States under an
in-bond procedure, a carnet or
temporary importation bond. The
required documentation includes, but is
not limited to, a Certificate of Title or
a Salvage Title, the VIN, a
Manufacture’s Statement of Origin, etc.
CBP will accept originals or certified
copies of Certificate of Title. The
purpose of this information is to help
ensure that stolen vehicles or vehicles
associated with other criminal activity
are not exported.
Collection of this information is
authorized by 19 U.S.C.1627a which
provides CBP with authority to impose
export reporting requirements on all
used self-propelled vehicles and by title
IV, section 401 of the Anti-Car Theft Act
of 1992, 19 U.S.C. 1646(c) which
requires all persons or entities exporting
a used self-propelled vehicle to provide
to the CBP, at least 72 hours prior to
export, the VIN and proof of ownership
of each automobile. This information
collection is provided for by19 CFR part
192. Further guidance regarding these
requirements is provided at: http://
www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_
trade/export_docs/motor_vehicle.xml.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
should be made to Director, Records
Management Division, 500 C Street SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on October 6, 2015 at 80 FR
60397 with a 60 day public comment
period. FEMA received one comment
which included the following
statements regarding NEFRLS:
1. ‘‘Shelters are not jails, the evacuees
come and go after arriving, often
without the knowledge of the shelter
managers. Therefore using the Safe and
Well program is but a small way of
contacting evacuees.’’
2. ‘‘Some will intentionally hide their
identity for a myriad of reasons.
(abusive spouse, warrants, debts, don’t
want the government to know where
they are, no legal citizens).’’
3. ‘‘There is no single collection point
for several states to share data of
missing persons after a catastrophic
event that covers several states.’’
4. ‘‘In Texas and other larger western
states the travel times are considerable,
so would like to have vehicles able to
have reports of who is on board said
vehicles.’’
5. ‘‘Integration with other local (state
level) software solutions via API such as
WebEOC is a must.’’
6. ‘‘One system at the federal level—
this should replace NSS or integrate into
it (single sign on).’’
FEMA evaluated the comment
received regarding the NEFRLS. As
mandated by Congress, NEFRLS is
intended to be a system that survivors
and people searching for them can use
voluntarily on an individual basis. It is
not intended to be a comprehensive data
collection tool for responders and/or
governments nor is it intended to be
inclusive of all disaster survivors but
only those who voluntarily choose to
register. NEFRLS is not an evacuation
tracking tool that can be used to create
manifests. FEMA has developed the
National Mass Evacuation Tracking
System (NMETS) that is available to
States at no charge that can perform this
function. Information about NMETS can
be found at the following link, http://
www.fema.gov/individual-assistancenational-mass-evacuation-trackingsystem. FEMA routinely explores
options to increase interoperability and
data sharing where applicable. FEMA
always appreciates feedback from
members of the emergency management
community.
