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.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Alaska Pacific Halibut Fisheries:
Subsistence.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0512.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 7,337.
Average Hours per Response: Permit
applications, 10 minutes; Community
harvest log, 30 minutes; Ceremonial or
educational harvest log, 30 minutes;
Appeal for permit denial, 4 hours.
Burden Hours: 1,438.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
This information collection describes
special permits issued to participants in
the Pacific halibut subsistence fishery in
waters off the coast of Alaska and any
appeals resulting from denials. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) designed the permits to work in
conjunction with other halibut harvest
assessment measures. Subsistence
fishing for halibut has occurred for
many years among the Alaska Native
people and non-Native people. Special
permits are initiated in response to the
concerns of Native and community
groups regarding increased restrictions
in International Pacific Halibut
Commission Area 2C and include
Community Harvest Permits,
Ceremonial Permits, and Educational
Permits.
A Community Harvest Permit allows
the community or Alaska Native tribe to
appoint one or more individuals from
its respective community or tribe to
harvest subsistence halibut from a single
vessel under reduced gear and harvest
restrictions.
Ceremonial and Educational Permits
are available exclusively to Alaska
Native tribes. Eligible Alaska Native
tribes may appoint only one Ceremonial
Permit Coordinator per tribe for
Ceremonial Permits or one authorized
Instructor per tribe for Educational
Permits.
Except for enrolled students fishing
under a valid Educational Permit,

special permits require persons fishing
under them to also possess a
Subsistence Halibut Registration
Certificate (SHARC) (see OMB No.
0648–0460) which identifies those
persons who are currently eligible for
subsistence halibut fishing. Each of the
instruments is designed to minimize the
reporting burden on subsistence halibut
fishermen while retrieving essential
information.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; state, local or tribal
governments.
Frequency: Annually or on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
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@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
NOAA is conducting research to
estimate the market and non-market
economic values associated with whale
watching in Stellwagen Bank National
Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) and the
surrounding region.
The required information is to
conduct surveys of the for hireoperations that take people out for nonconsumptive recreation to watch whales
or other wildlife, to obtain total use by
type of activity (e.g. whale watching,
and other wildlife observation) and the
spatial use by type of activity.
Information will also be obtained on the
knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of
for-hire operations towards the
sanctuary, sanctuary resources and
sanctuary processes.
Surveys will also be conducted of the
passengers of the for-hire operation
boats to obtain their market and nonmarket economic use values for whales
and other wildlife. Information
collected from passengers will include
their expenditures, number of trips,
activities while visiting the sanctuary
and non-market value for improvements
to whales and other sanctuary resources.
An on-site survey will obtain
information on demographic profiles,
annual number of whale watching trips
in SBNMS, and their non-market
economic use value for improvements to
whales and sanctuary resources. Selfaddressed, postage paid mail back
questionnaires will be used for
importance-satisfaction ratings and
whale watching trip expenditures.

II. Method of Collection
The data from the operators will be
collected by scheduling appointments to
meet with the owner and conduct the
survey in-person. For the passengers,
surveys will be conducted at the docks
after the completion of their whale
watching trip and via mail.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofit organizations.
