governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222 through 226).
The applicant proposes to import and
export parts from three species of
angelshark for research into the
population genetics and basic breeding
biology. Unlimited samples from the
following species will be imported and
potentially exported annually: 800
individuals of the common angelshark
(Squatina squatina) and 40 individuals
each of the other species (sawback
[Squatina aculeata] and smoothback
[Squatina occulta] angelsharks). These
parts would be from live capture
research activities primarily in the
Northeastern Atlantic, but opportunistic
world-wide import and export is also
requested. The requested duration of the
permit is 5 years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. The Chesapeake Bay
Watershed Agreement of 2014 required
monitoring of progress toward the
environmental literacy goal: ‘‘Enable
students in the region to graduate with
the knowledge and skills needed to act
responsibly to protect and restore their
local watersheds.’’ NOAA, on behalf of
the Chesapeake Bay Program, will ask
the state education agencies for
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Virginia, West Virginia, and the District
of Columbia to survey their local
education agencies (LEAs) to determine:
(1) LEA capacity to implement a
comprehensive and systemic approach
to environmental literacy education, (2)
student participation in Meaningful
Watershed Educational Experience
during the school year, (3) sustainability
practices at schools, and (4) LEA needs
for improving environmental literacy
education programming. LEAs
(generally school districts, in some cases
charter school administration) are asked
to complete the survey on the status of
their LEA on a set of key indicators for
the four areas listed above. One
individual from each LEA is asked to
complete their survey once every two
years. The results of the biennial ELIT
survey will be analyzed and reported to
the internal stakeholders of the
Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
Participating states will receive a
summarized report of findings for the
full watershed, a summary of findings
for their state, and comparisons of

results between states. These aggregated
results will be used by the state agencies
to understand progress of their school
districts over time, and to inform
decision-making about strategies and
priorities for future work with school
districts. Additionally, NOAA will use
this information to inform priorities
within their B–WET funding
opportunities and technical assistance.
The biennial reporting will also be used
by the Chesapeake Bay Program to
understand progress of school districts
in the watershed, understand
differences between jurisdictions, and
guide strategy for providing targeted
support in each state.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected electronically
via Qualtrics or through a platform with
similar functionality.

This request is for extension of a

NOAA provides educators an
opportunity to gain first-hand
experience with field research activities
through the Teacher at Sea Program.
Through this program, educators spend
up to 3 weeks at sea on a NOAA
research vessel, participating in an
ongoing research project with NOAA
scientists. The application solicits
information from interested educators
including: basic personal information,
teaching experience, and ideas for
applying program experience in their
classrooms, plus two recommendation
and a NOAA Health Services
Questionnaire required of anyone
selected to participate in the program.
Once educators are selected and
participate on a cruise, they write a
report detailing the events of the cruise
and ideas for classroom activities based
on what they learned while at sea.
These materials are then made available
to other educators so they may benefit
from the experience, without actually
going out to sea by themselves. This
collection supports NOAA’s mission by
providing educators an opportunity to
gain first-hand experience with field
research activities through the Teacher
at Sea Program.
NOAA does not collect information
from this universe of respondents for
any other purpose than to determine
which educators will participate in the
NOAA Teacher at Sea Program.
