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: West Coast Fisheries
Participation Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,543.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 1,181.
Needs and Uses: Northwest Fisheries
Science Center (NWFSC) seeks to
conduct fisheries participation analyses
which involve a survey of United States
(U.S.) West Coast commercial fishing
participants. A U.S. mail survey will be
conducted. The survey will be
voluntary, and contacted individuals
may decline to participate. Respondents
will be asked to answer questions about
their motivations for fishing and other
factors that affect participation in the
suite of West Coast commercial
fisheries. Demographic and employment
information will be collected so that
responses can be organized based on a
respondent typology. This survey is
essential because data on smaller scale
fishing practices, values, participation
decisions and beliefs about fishing
livelihoods are sparse; yet, they are
critical to the development of usable
fishery ecosystem models that account

SUMMARY:

In
accordance with a determination of
NMFS under 50 CFR 216.91(a)(3)(v),
implementing the Dolphin Protection
Consumer Information Act, 16 U.S.C.
1385, that certain fisheries have a
regular and significant mortality and
serious injury of marine mammals,
observer statements are required to
accompany tuna product from tuna
harvested in those fisheries (observer
statements). See the Federal Register
notice ‘‘Taking and Importing of Marine
Mammals and Dolphin-Safe Tuna
Products’’ published by NMFS on
September 28, 2016 (81 FR 66625).
NMFS’ authority to require these
observer statements was subject to
approval by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) because the
statements are considered a ‘‘collection
of information’’ subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. Under the terms of the
September 28, 2016, Federal Register
notice, the observer statements would
be required only upon publication of an
additional notice in the Federal Register
of OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act. On November 18, 2016,
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act, OMB approved the observer
statements under Control Number 0648–
0335.
Therefore, the observer statements are
required beginning on January 23, 2017.
