The NIST Center for Neutron
Research (NCNR) Information
Management System (IMS) is a public
facing, web-based application to collect,
manage and report operational data
related to NCNR’s role as a unique
national user facility which was
chartered to serve the nation’s scientific
community by providing unique
experimental apparatus for scientific
studies using neutron scattering. In
order to fulfill that mission, NCNR
established a complex business process
to fairly distribute available scientific
resources to prospective external users,
outlined by the following steps:
• Registration of NCNR users
• Collection of scientific experiment
proposals
• Regularly scheduled peer review of
said proposals
• Merit-based award of available
experimental resources
• Experiment date scheduling for
selected projects (instrument
scheduling)
• Collection and management of data
required by the NCNR site access
protocol
• Managing the Health Physics training
of arriving scientists
• Coordination of administrative data

VerDate Sep<11>2014

• Collection of data in support of
related activities such as NCNR
Summer School for facility users
• Management of the research results
such as collected data, and
subsequent publications
• Numerous reporting functions used to
evaluate and manage the NCNR
activities.

shipboard observers, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) who
are on the ocean regularly, as well as
numerous experts on marine debris
observations at sea. The Shipboard
Observation Form for Floating Marine
Debris was created based on methods
used in studies of floating marine debris
by established researchers, previous
shipboard observational studies
conducted at sea by NOAA, and the
experience and input of recreational
sailors. The goal of this form is to be
able to report the amount and types of
visible, floating marine debris within an
area of a water body of a known size.
Additionally, this form will help collect
data on floating marine debris that
could result from future severe marine
debris generating events in order to
model the movement of the debris as
well as prepare (as needed) for debris
arrival. This form can be used to collect
data on floating marine debris in any
water body.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; not-for profit institutions;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Once per year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Marine Debris Act
(33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.).

The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant proposes to continue a
long-term study of the trends in
abundance and distribution of
loggerhead sea turtles in southwestern
Florida Bay. Researchers would also
determine size, growth, sex, genetic
identity, reproductive status, health,
and movements of animals. Researchers
would capture up to 125 sea turtles by
hand for examination, measurements,
photographs, weights, flipper and
passive integrated transponder tagging,
marking, and blood and tumor
sampling. Up to 20 additional
loggerheads may be pursued during
unsuccessful capture attempts. The
permit would be valid for 10 years.
