SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,

Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and

Notice of Information
Collection, request for comment.

ACTION:

SUMMARY: The Department of
Commerce, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
proposed, and continuing information
collections, which helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. The purpose of this
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to OMB.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before March 16, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to
Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer,
at [email protected]. Do not
submit Confidential Business
Information or otherwise sensitive or
protected information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
specific questions related to collection
activities should be directed to Dr. Kim
Klockow-McClain, Research Scientist,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
Each year over 1000 tornadoes affect
communities across the United States,
yet very little is known about how
individuals receive, interpret, and
respond to information from NOAA
relating to this hazard. In fact, only a
small sample of tornadoes ever receive
study, and most often those are only the
largest tornadoes. No generalizable
information on tornado warning
response after real-world events exists.
The National Weather Service and
National Severe Storms Laboratory have
designed this data collection instrument
to allow for more routine collection of
this information. Respondents will
include members of the US public who
have recently (within the previous 30
days) been in or near a tornado, and
they will be asked questions about the
ways they received, understood, and
responded to NWS watch/warning
information.
The information would be collected
by NWS forecasters using their Damage
Assessment Tool (DAT), and also by
members of the public who voluntarily
access a web tool developed by the
National Severe Storms Laboratory. The
questions will also be included in a

E:\FR\FM\15JAN1.SGM

15JAN1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Notices
standardized post-event survey tool that
will be offered to recipients of Natural
Hazards Center Quick Response Grants.
The information will be used as part of
a pilot study to explore methods for
more systematically collecting postevent data in support of program
evaluation for NOAA’s tornado watch/
warning system.
II. Method of Collection
A primary method of data collection
intends to gather tornado survivor
stories through a web-based interface.
Currently a web-based App is under
development at NSSL. The aim is for
this to be similar to the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) ‘Did You Feel
It’ (DYFI) pages used for reporting
earthquakes and feeding in to a realistic
Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale
report. Specific questions in the webbased App are aimed at discovering
whether tornado watches and warnings
were received, and if they were, how
they were received as well as what
action citizens did or did not take. This
will help to define value action gaps
more completely. Additionally the webbased App allows citizens to be
involved as part of the overall scientific
endeavor, helping scientists and
researchers understand what helps
increase survivability to tornadoes as
well as what undermines it.
