2014–15 and the 2013–14 monitoring
report. Based on that review, we have
determined that the proposed action is
very similar to that considered in the
previous IHA. In addition, no significant
new circumstances or information
relevant to environmental concerns
have been identified. Thus, we have
determined that the preparation of a
new or supplemental NEPA document
is not necessary, and, after review of
public comments, reaffirm our 2013
FONSI. The 2013 NEPA documents are
available for review at
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/
incidental/construction.htm.
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
we have issued an IHA to the Navy for
conducting the described pier
maintenance activities in Sinclair Inlet,
from September 1, 2015 through March
1, 2016, provided the previously
described mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision to the
existing reporting requirements that are
currently approved under OMB Control
No. 0648–0205, Southeast Region
Permit Family of Forms, in association
with the upcoming final rule,
Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)
0648–BB02, Amendment 9 to the 2006
Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory
Species (HMS) Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) (Amendment 9), developed
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801.
The final rule, RIN 0648–BB02, would
implement a number of Atlantic shark
and smoothhound shark management
measures and would establish an
effective date for previously-adopted
smoothhound shark management
measures finalized in Amendment 3 to
the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS
FMP (Amendment 3) and the 2011 Final
Rule to Modify the Retention of
Incidentally-Caught Highly Migratory
Species in Atlantic Trawl Fisheries.
Among these previously-adopted
smoothhound shark management
measures is a commercial smoothhound
shark permit requirement. The
commercial smoothhound shark
permitting requirement contained in
this rule would become effective at a
date specified after approval of this
revision request.
In April 2011, NMFS submitted a PRA
change request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to add
the commercial smoothhound shark
permit to the existing HMS permit PRA
package (OMB Control No. 0648–0327).
OMB subsequently approved the change
request to add the Federal commercial
smoothhound shark permit to the HMS
permit PRA package in May 2011. In
July 2015, the commercial smoothhound
shark permit was removed from the
HMS permit PRA package (OMB Control
No. 0648–0327) with the intention of
transferring it to the Southeast Region
Permit Family of Forms. This revision
seeks to add this permit to OMB Control
No. 0648–0205, because the SERO
Permits Office will administer the
smoothhound shark permit. The
revision also addresses a new permit fee

Frm 00043

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

of $25 ($10 if issued in conjunction with
another SERO-administered permit)
related to SERO’s administration of the
permit and a more accurate estimate of
the number of respondents, reducing the
estimated number of respondents from
4,000, to 500 based on recent landings
data.
Specifically for the smoothhound
shark commercial permit, NMFS
estimates 500 respondents to apply. If a
respondent already holds a SEROadministered permit, applying for a
smoothhound shark permit would only
require checking an additional box on
the permits application form, which
would take approximately 10 seconds. If
the respondent does not hold a SEROadministered permit, a new application
must be filled out, which would take
approximately 30 minutes. Thus, the
total annual burden estimate is between
1.4 hours and 250 hours. It is likely that
many respondents already hold a permit
issued through the SERO Permits Office
due to participation in other SERO
fisheries (including other shark
fisheries), thus, they would simply need
to check a box on their existing form.
However, at this time, NMFS does not
have an estimate of the number of
respondents who would apply for this
permit and that already hold a permit
administered through the SERO Permits
Office, and therefore, for the purpose of
this revision request, NMFS assumes the
high estimate of 250 burden hours
annually for the commercial
smoothhound shark permit.
There is a $25 fee for a stand-alone
commercial smoothhound shark permit
or a $10 fee if issued in conjunction
with another SERO-administered
permit. Thus, the total annual cost to
the public for the permit is between
$12,500 if none of the 500 respondents
hold another SERO-administered permit
and $5,000 if all the respondents hold
another SERO-administered permit. For
the purpose of this revision request,
NMFS assumes the high estimate of
$12,500 in total annual costs for the
commercial smoothhound shark permit.
The commercial smoothhound shark
permit would add a maximum of 500
respondents, 250 burden hours, and
$12,500 total annual costs to this
information collection.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email of electronic
forms, and mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.

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

Title: Regional Economic Data
Collection Program for Southwest
Alaska.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.

a new information collection).

Number of Respondents: 1,602.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes.
Burden Hours: 600.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
Regional or community economic
analysis of proposed fishery
management policies is required by the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
National Environmental Policy Act, and
Executive Order 12866, among others.
To satisfy these mandates and inform
policymakers and the public of the
likely regional economic impacts
associated with fishery management
policies, appropriate economic models
and the data to implement them are
needed. Much of the data required for
regional economic analysis of
Southwest Alaska fisheries are either
unavailable or unreliable. Accurate
fishery-level data on employment, labor
income, and expenditures in the
Southwest Alaska fishery and related
industries are not generally available
but are needed to estimate the role of
fisheries and effects of fishery policies
on local, regional and national
economies. The Southwest region for
this survey includes six boroughs and
census areas (BCAs)—Aleutians East
Borough, Aleutians West Census Area,
Bristol Bay Borough, Dillingham Census
Area, Lake and Peninsula Borough, and
Kodiak Island Borough.
In 2007–2008, a similar data
collection project was administered for
the Southwest Alaska region by
obtaining 2006 annual data. However,
that data is now outdated and
incomplete. In the proposed survey,
2013 or 2014 annual data for important
regional economic variables will be
collected from fish harvesting and
seafood processing businesses operating
in the region (2012 data on these
variables will be collected if more recent
vessel landings and processed products
data are not available at the time the
data collection begins). The data will be
used to develop Southwest regional and
BCA-level models that will provide
more reliable impact estimates and
significantly improve policymakers’
ability to assess effects on fisherydependent communities in Southwest
Alaska. A departure from the prior
survey effort is that more information
will be collected this time on the source
locations of business expenditures by
catcher vessels and seafood processors.
The survey will be conducted one time
only.
A mail survey will be used to collect
data on employment, labor income, and
expenditures from owners of 2,731
catcher vessels whose boats delivered

fish to Southwest Alaska processors.
Key informant interviews will be
conducted to gather additional
information from 30 seafood processors,
including catcher-processor and floating
processor vessels, and 20 local
businesses that supply inputs to
regional fish harvesters and seafood
processors. The interviews will be used
to determine relative expenditures for
inputs made in nine geographical
areas—(1) each of the six BCAs within
the Southwest region, (2) nonSouthwest Alaska region, (3) West
Coast, and (4) the rest of US and
elsewhere. Personal interviews with
input suppliers will gather additional
information on (i) the level of supplier
sales to regional seafood industry
businesses, and (ii) the portion of
business expenditures for labor and
non-labor inputs that were made in each
of the above nine geographical areas.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

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 OIRA_Submission@
