Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the

Title: Marine Recreational Information
Program Social Network Analysis InPerson Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (new
collection).
Number of Respondents: 180.
Average Hours per Response: 0.5.
Burden Hours: 90.
Needs and Uses: NOAA Fisheries
needs to educate and inform anglers
about Marine Recreational Information
Programs (MRIP) generally, and the
agency is looking to identify how and
where anglers get and share their
information to more effectively
communicate with recreational anglers
on data collection issues by focusing
communications efforts on important
channels. In 2020, MRIP will conduct
the Social Network Analysis In-Person
Survey, which is the follow up to the
2019 Social Network Analysis Mail
Survey. The subsequent analysis will

allow MRIP to more effectively engage
with its audiences by identifying key
influencers and information pathways,
and identifying the areas of greatest
need and greatest opportunity for
relationship-building. Data gathered
will include angler use of and trust in
different sources and channels of
fisheries management information.
These data will be used to identify key
information sources for recreational
anglers, evaluate regional differences in
information sources, and evaluate
recreational angler confidence in
management and data collection efforts.
The information obtained will allow
MRIP to more effectively communicate
with recreational anglers on data
collection issues by focusing
communications efforts on important
network channels.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Frequency: One-time reporting.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species;

Permits; Letters of Acknowledgment
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of intent; request for
comments; public webinar.
AGENCY:

NMFS announces its intent to
issue exempted fishing permits (EFPs),
scientific research permits (SRPs),
display permits, letters of
acknowledgment (LOAs), and shark
research fishery permits for Atlantic
highly migratory species (HMS) in 2020.

SUMMARY:

PO 00000

Frm 00017

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

EFPs and related permits would
authorize collection of a limited number
of HMS, including tunas, swordfish,
billfishes, and sharks, from Federal
waters in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean
Sea, and Gulf of Mexico for the
purposes of scientific research, data
collection, the investigation of bycatch,
and public display, among other things.
LOAs acknowledge that scientific
research activity aboard a scientific
research vessel is being conducted.
Generally, EFPs and related permits
would be valid from the date of issuance
through December 31, 2020, unless
otherwise specified, subject to the terms
and conditions of individual permits.
This notice also schedules a public
webinar/conference call for applicants,
during which NMFS will provide a
general overview of the EFP program
and hold a question and answer session.
DATES: Written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered by NMFS when issuing EFPs
and related permits and must be
received on or before December 23,
2019.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted by any of the following
methods:
• Electronic Submission: Submit all
electronic public comments via the
Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. Go to
www.regulations.gov/
#!docketDetail;D=NOAA-NMFS-20190132, click the ‘‘Comment Now’’ icon,
complete the required fields, and enter

• Mail: Craig Cockrell, Highly
Migratory Species Management Division
(F/SF1), NMFS, 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Craig Cockrell, phone: (301) 427–8503.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Issuance
of EFPs and related permits are
necessary because HMS regulations
(e.g., regarding fishing seasons,
prohibited species, authorized gear,
closed areas, and minimum sizes) may
otherwise prohibit the collection of live
animals and/or biological samples for
data collection and public display
purposes or may otherwise prohibit
certain fishing activity that NMFS has
an interest in permitting or
acknowledging. Pursuant to 50 CFR
parts 600 and 635, a NMFS Regional
Administrator or Director may
authorize, for limited testing, public
display, data collection, exploratory
fishing, compensation fishing,
conservation engineering, health and
safety surveys, environmental cleanup,
and/or hazard removal purposes, the
target or incidental harvest of species
managed under an FMP or fishery
