SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
NOAA is conducting research to: (1)
Identify if the sanctuary helps to attract
research or creates value-added to
researchers; (2) estimate the economic
impacts (jobs, income, output)
supported by research that occurs in
sanctuaries because of expenditures
occurring within local region. Two sites,
Olympic Coast National Marine
Sanctuary (OCNMS) and Stellwagen
Bank National Marine Sanctuary
(SBNMS) will be evaluated. The
information will aide in SBNMS and
OCNMS condition reports. Further, the
research will help to provide baseline
data for economic impact and
contribution of sanctuaries to local area
economies.
The required information will involve
surveys of researchers (from profit, nonprofit and government agencies
including local, state, federal and tribal).
Information will be obtained on

expenditures, sources of funds, nonmarket value, type of research,
technologies used, use of NOAA
equipment, reasons for the chosen
location, and the researcher’s
involvement with sanctuary staff.
ONMS will work to identify all
researchers who worked within the
sanctuary within the past ten years. This
will be the population of interest.
Sanctuary site staff, literature reviews
and the research permit database will be
used to identify the population of
researchers for each site.
II. Method of Collection
The survey will be implemented
online, and paper versions will also be
available.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or

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: U.S.-Canada Albacore Treating
Reporting System.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0492.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 135.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes for the request to be placed on
the eligible list per year; 5 minutes for
required vessel markings; 15 minutes for
logbook entries; 10 minutes for each set
of two hail reports for border crossings
per year.
Burden Hours: 839.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), West Coast
Region, manages the United States
(U.S.)-Canada Albacore Tuna Treaty of
1981 (Treaty). Owners of vessels that
fish from U.S. West Coast ports for
albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) are
required to notify the NMFS West Coast
Region of their desire to be on the list
of vessels provided to Canada each year
indicating vessels eligible to fish for
albacore tuna in waters under the
jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally,
vessel operators are required to report in
advance their intention to fish in
Canadian waters prior to crossing the
maritime border, as well as to mark their
fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement
of the effort limits under the Treaty.
Vessel operators are also required to
maintain and submit a logbook of all
catch and fishing effort. The regulations
implementing the reporting and vessel
marking requirements under the Treaty
are at 50 CFR part 300.172–300.176.
The estimated burden below includes
hours to complete the logbook
requirement, although it is assumed that
most if not all of the respondents
already complete the required logbook
under the mandatory West Coast Highly
Migratory Species Fishery Management
Plan (HMS FMP), OMB Control No.
0648–0223. Duplicate reporting under
the Treaty and HMS FMP is not
required. Most years, there will be much

less fishing (and thus less reporting)
under the Treaty than the level on
which the estimate is based.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
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@

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Ocean Service (NOS) and
National Marine Fisheries Service’s
(NMFS) Alaska Fisheries Science Center
propose to collect data on non-economic
values related to subsistence salmon
fishing and use in Alaska. Data is
needed to support Natural Resource
Damage Assessment (NRDA) and
resource restoration analysis and
activities. NRDA is a legal process to
determine the type and amount of
restoration needed to compensate the
public for harm to natural resources and
their human uses that occur as a result
of an oil spill or other hazardous
substance release. Through the NRDA
process, NOAA and co-trustees identify
the extent of natural resource injuries
and the amount and type of restoration
required to restore those resources to
baseline conditions.
For this study, researchers have
developed a survey instrument to
quantify non-economic values,
including (1) the value subsistence
fishing adds to an individual or
community’s way of life, (2) the value
of subsistence resources in cultural or
religious practices, roles, language,
knowledge and skill transfer, and (3) the
value of the subsistence resources
harvested. Alaska, with an abundance of
natural and energy resources that are colocated with subsistence harvesting
grounds, is a logical place for NOAA to
develop assessment tools. This pilot
project tests a set of survey questions for
their ability to provide NOAA with
adequate information to assess noneconomic values of subsistence resource
harvest that might be damaged by a
hazardous substance release event. We
focus on Alaska’s subsistence salmon
fishery because of its size, geographic
range, and significance to multiple types
of communities, families and individual
commercial, recreational, and
subsistence fishermen. We further focus
on subsistence use of salmon because of
its importance to rural residents and
Alaska Natives who rely on natural
resources for food, shelter, clothing, and
the maintenance of cultural traditions,
and other aspects of Alaskan Native life.
The data collection is expected to take
place between Summer 2017 and Spring
2018.
II. Method of Collection
Members of the research team will
administer a questionnaire in person in
an interview-style setting with each
respondent.
