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
via the Federal Register on November 9,
2021 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Fishery Products Subject to
Trade Restrictions Pursuant to
Certification Under the High Seas
Driftnet Fishing (HSDF) Moratorium
Protection Act.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0651.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 100
respondents annually filing 50
responses each.
Average Hours per Response: 0.167.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 835
hours.
Needs and Uses: National Marine
Fisheries Service’s Office of
International Affairs and Seafood
Inspection is requesting an extension of
a currently approved information
collection.
The information collection involves
certification of admissibility for
importation of certain fish and fish

Protection Act (RIN 0648–BA89), certain
fish or fish products of a nation may be
subject to import prohibitions. To
facilitate enforcement, the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
requires that other fish or fish products
from that nation that are not subject to
the import prohibitions must be
accompanied by documentation of
admissibility. A duly authorized
official/agent of the applicant’s
Government must certify that the fish in
the shipments being imported into the
United States (U.S.) are of a species, or
from fisheries, that are not subject to an
import restriction. If a nation is
identified under the Moratorium
Protection Act and fails to receive a
positive certification decision from the
Secretary of Commerce, products from
that nation that are not subject to the
import prohibitions must be
accompanied by the documentation of
admissibility.
Under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act, import certification requirements
apply in cases where foreign fisheries
do not meet U.S. standards for marine
mammal bycatch mitigation. A final rule
(RIN 0648–AY15) implemented a
procedure for making comparability
findings for nations that are eligible for
exporting fish and fish products to the
United States. The nations may receive
a comparability finding to export fish
and fish products by providing
documentation that a nation’s bycatch
reduction regulatory program is
comparable in effectiveness to that of
the United States. Fish and fish
products from a foreign fishery without
a comparability finding are prohibited
from entry into U.S. commerce. To
facilitate enforcement, NMFS requires
that other fish or fish products from that
nation that are not subject to the import
prohibitions must be accompanied by
documentation of admissibility.
The Certification of Admissibility
information is used by Customs and
Border Protection authorities to
determine that inbound seafood
shipments are not subject to trade
restrictions. NMFS uses the information
to ensure compliance with fish product
embargos and to assess compliance with
international fishery management
regulations.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Dependent upon import
rate of fish or fish products subject to
prohibition(s).
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: 50 CFR part 216; 50
CFR part 300, subpart N.

SUMMARY:

17:16 Mar 15, 2022

Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), CEQ is soliciting
comments and information to enable it
to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of CEQ, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) evaluate the accuracy of CEQ’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
CEQ will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. CEQ then will submit the
final ICR package to OMB for review
and approval. At that time, CEQ will
issue another Federal Register notice to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative stakeholder feedback in an
efficient, timely manner. CEQ envisions
using surveys and focus groups to
enhance customer service, improve
product development, target messaging,
ensure quality control, engage with
stakeholders, and spur innovation.

qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically representative results,
but rather provide insight about the
challenges that subsets of stakeholders
face. This feedback will provide insights
into stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an understanding of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between CEQ and its stakeholders. It
also will allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management and services. The
solicitation of feedback will target areas
such as timeliness, appropriateness,
accuracy of information, courtesy,
efficiency of service delivery, and
resolution of issues with service
delivery. CEQ will assess responses to
plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to
the public. If this information is not
collected, vital feedback from
stakeholders on CEQ’s services will be
unavailable.
CEQ will only submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance if
the collections are voluntary; the
collections are low burden for
respondents and are low- or no-cost for
both the respondents and the Federal
Government; the collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies; the
collections are targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
a program or may have experience with
a program in the near future; personally
identifiable information is collected
only to the extent necessary and is not
retained; information gathered will be
used only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes; information gathered will not
be used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and information gathered will yield
qualitative information.
