SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
NMFS certified observers are a vital
part of fisheries management. Observers
are deployed to collect fisheries data in
the field; observers often deploy to
vessels and work alongside fishers for
weeks and months at a time. The work
environment observers find themselves
in can be challenging, especially if the
observer finds themselves a target for
victim type violations such as sexual
harassment, intimidation, or even
assault. NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Law
Enforcement prioritizes investigations
into allegations of sexual harassment,
hostile work environment, assault and
other complaints which may affect
observers individually. However, it is
difficult for a person to disclose if they
have been a victim of a crime, and law
enforcement cannot respond if no
complaint is submitted. The true
number of observers who have
experienced victim type crimes is
unknown, and the reasons why they do
not report is also unclear. More
information is needed to understand
how many observers per year
experience victim type crimes, and why
they chose not to report to law
enforcement.
The Office of Law Enforcement,
Alaska Division, is conducting a survey
of North Pacific Observers to determine

PO 00000

Frm 00031

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

the number of observers who
experienced victimizing behavior
during deployments in 2018. This
survey is a repeat of a voluntary survey
previously conducted, and will be
launched on an annual basis. The
survey will also investigate the reasons
that prevented observers from reporting
these violations. The results of the
survey will provide the Office of Law
Enforcement a better understanding of
how often observers are victimized,
which will enable them to reallocate
resources as needed, conduct more
training for observers to ensure they
know how to report, conduct training to
ensure people understand what
constitutes a victim crime, and to
increase awareness of potential
victimizations. Additionally, the survey
results will help law enforcement
understand the barriers to disclosure, so
enforcement may begin to address these
impediments so they no longer prevent
observers from disclosure.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected on a voluntary
basis, via an electronic survey to ensure
anonymity. The survey will be offered
to all observers who deployed in 2018
in the North Pacific Observer Program.
Individual data will not be released for
public use.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0759.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular (request for a
revised information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
300.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 50 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
