(i.e., the issuance of an incidental
harassment authorization) with respect
to potential impacts on the human
environment.
This action is consistent with
categories of activities identified in
Categorical Exclusion B4 (incidental
harassment authorizations with no
anticipated serious injury or mortality)
of the Companion Manual for NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6A, which do
not individually or cumulatively have
the potential for significant impacts on
the quality of the human environment
and for which we have not identified
any extraordinary circumstances that
will preclude this categorical exclusion.
Accordingly, NMFS has determined that
the issuance of the IHA qualifies to be
categorically excluded from further
NEPA review.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to the City
of Juneau for the potential harassment of
small numbers of eight marine mammal
species incidental to the Statter Harbor
project in Auke Bay, Alaska, provided
the previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring and reporting requirements
are incorporated.
Dated: January 21, 2020.

Submission for OMB Review;

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Ship Collisions with North Atlantic
Right Whales.

serious injury and mortality for the
endangered North Atlantic right whale
and are a threat to the species’ recovery.
On October 10, 2008, NMFS published
a final rule implementing seasonal
speed restrictions along the east coast of
the U.S. to reduce the incidence and
severity of vessel collisions with North
Atlantic right whales (73 FR 60173). The
final rule contained a collection-ofinformation requirement subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
Specifically, 50 CFR 224.105(c)
provides for a safety deviation from the
10-knot seasonal speed limit if poor
weather or sea going conditions severely
restrict the maneuverability of a vessel.
Under such conditions, a vessel master
may opt to maintain a speed in excess
of the speed restriction, if required for
safety, provided a signed entry is made
in the vessel logbook detailing the
reasons for the deviation, the speed at
which the vessel is operated, the area,
and the time and duration of such
deviation.
Affected Public: Business and other
for-profit organizations, non-profit
institutions and individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
This information collection request

Title: Licensing of Private RemoteSensing Space Systems.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0174.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (Revision of
a current approved information
collection.)
Number of Respondents: 51.
Average Hours per Response: 40
hours for the submission of a license
application; 10 hours for the submission
of a data protection plan; 5 hours for the
submission of a plan describing how the
licensee will comply with data
collection restrictions; 3 hours for the
submission of an operations plan for
restricting collection or dissemination of
imagery of Israeli territory; 0.5 hours for
the submission of a public summary for
a licensed system; 1 hour for
notification of completion of pre-ship
review; 3 hours for the submission of a
license amendment; 2 hours for the
submission of a foreign agreement
notification; 1 hour for the submission
of spacecraft operational information
submitted when a spacecraft becomes
operational; 2 hours for notification of
planned purges of information to the
National Satellite Land Remote Sensing
Data Archive; 3 hours for the
submission of an operational quarterly
report; 4 hours for an annual
compliance audit; and 1 hour for
notification of the demise of a system or
a decision to discontinue system
operations.
Burden Hours: 1,438.
Needs and Uses: The information is
being collected as a necessary step to
regulate the private space-based remote
sensing industry, which involves
issuing licenses to applicants and
ensuring their compliance with license
terms. The Department of Commerce
(DOC), through the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), has the authority to regulate
private space-based remote sensing
under the Land Remote Sensing Policy
Act of 1992, 51 U.S.C. 60101 et seq. (the
Act) and regulations at 15 CFR part 960.
The regulations facilitate the
development of the U.S. private remote
sensing industry and thus promote the
collection and widespread availability
of remote sensing data, while preserving
essential U.S. national security interests
and observing international obligations.
Applications are made in response to
the requirements in the Act, as
amended, and no collection forms are
used. The application information
received is used to determine if the
applicant meets the legal criteria for
issuance of a license to operate a private
remote sensing space system i.e., the
proposed system will be operated in
accordance with the Act, U.S. national

security concerns and international
obligations. Application information
includes: Corporate information; launch
segment information; space segment
information; ground segment
information; plans and/or pricing policy
for providing access to or distributing
the unenhanced data generated by the
system; and the plan for post-mission
disposition of any Remote Sensing
satellites.
Once an applicant holds a license, he/
she is subject to amendment filings and
notification requirements concerning an
executive summary of the licensed
system, foreign agreements, deviation in
orbits, planned disposition of the
spacecraft, data protection plans,
preliminary design reviews, critical
design reviews, certification of launch
contract and pre-ship review of the
satellite; and notification of system
demise or decision to discontinue
operations. The licensee is required to
provide NOAA an executive summary
that can be provided to the public
within 30 days of obtaining a NOAA
license.
Monitoring and compliance
information is used to ascertain that the
licensee’s activities meet the
requirements of the Act, applicable
regulations, and license conditions. The
following information collections serve
as part of the monitoring and
compliance function: Annual
compliance audits; data collection
restriction plans; operation plans for
restricting collection and dissemination
of imaging Israeli territory; data flow
diagrams; satellite sub-system diagrams
and imaging system specification sheets;
operational declarations; quarterly
reports; purge notifications; and annual
operational audits.
NOAA notes the differences between
this revision and the previous extension
of this collection of information. First,
although it appears that there are new
collections of information (specifically,
the Data Protection Plan, the Data
Collection Restrictions Compliance
Plan, the Plan for Restricted Operations
Over Israel, and the Public Summary),
each of these requirements were
discussed in the 2017 Federal Register
Notice and the Supporting Statement.
These requirements are not new; they
appear to have been inadvertently
omitted from the list of information
collections in the 2017 extension. This
revision corrects that error.
Second, several information
collections have been removed. The
Data Flow Diagram has been removed as
it is now part of the Data Protection
Plan. The Satellite Subsystems
Drawings, Submission of Preliminary
Design Review, Submission of Critical

Design Review, and Notification of
Binding Launch Service Contract are no
longer required because after NOAA’s
review of certain material information
over the last 20 years, NOAA
determined that these documents are no
longer relevant to the license
determination process. The Notification
of Any Operational Deviation is now
part of the Quarterly Audit. Finally, the
Annual Operational Audit is now part
of the Annual Compliance Audit.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations (primary); nonprofit organizations (secondary).
Frequency: Quarterly, annually and
on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
