60-day FRN

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 21, 2021 / Notices
communities to take a new, proactive
approach to improving local hazardous
weather operations by providing
emergency managers with clear-cut
guidelines on how to improve their
hazardous weather operations. By
participating in this program, local
agencies earn recognition for their
jurisdiction by meeting guidelines
established by the NWS in partnership
with federal, state, and local emergency
management professionals. Information
and details on the StormReady and
TsunamiReady programs are located at
https://www.weather.gov/stormready/
and https://www.weather.gov/
tsunamiready/.
A Supporter is an organization,
business, facility, or local government
entity actively engaged in weather safety
and preparedness that is unable to meet
all the requirements of the full
StormReady or TsunamiReady program.
Sites may be eligible based on the
bylaws of the local NWS StormReady
Advisory Board and endorsement of
local emergency management. A local
StormReady Advisory Board has final
approval for Supporter designation.
StormReady/TsunamiReady are
voluntary programs that provide
guidance and incentive to officials
interested in improving their hazardous
weather operations. The government
will use the information collected by the
StormReady/TsunamiReady application
to determine whether a community has
met all of the guidelines to receive
StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition.
II. Method of Collection
The information is collected via a
digital or paper form. The form is
accessible on the internet in PDF.
Requirements are verified by NWS staff
via an in person or virtual site visit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) implemented Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 665.815(b)
requiring Hawaii-based longline
fisherman to safely handle and release
short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria
albatrus) (STAL) caught incidentally
during fishing operations. These
regulations satisfy the Terms and
Conditions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s (USFWS) November 2000
‘‘Biological Opinion for the Effects of
the Hawaii-based Longline Fleet on the
Short-tailed Albatross (Phoebastra
albatrus) [FWS 1–2–1999–F–02R]’’
(revised November 18, 2002, October 8,
2004, and January 6, 2012) (BiOp)
issued pursuant to Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Following the retrieval of the albatross
from the ocean, the vessel operator must
record the condition of the bird on a
recovery data form. A veterinarian will
use the information to provide advice to
the vessel operator for caring for the
bird. If the albatross is dead, the vessel
operator must attach an identification
tag to the carcass to assist U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in
follow-up studies on the specimen. This
collection is one of the terms and
conditions contained in the Endangered
Species Act Section 7 biological opinion

issued by USFWS and is intended to
maximize the probability of the longterm survival of short-tailed albatross
accidentally taken by longline gear.

forms, or mail or facsimile transmission
of paper forms within 72 hours of

households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Time per Response: 3
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3.

Public: $100 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs, mainly for at-sea communication
costs.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite 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. Public
comments were previously requested

comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public

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

PO 00000

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 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.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
