SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Scientific and Statistical
Committee will meet to review
information provided by the Council’s
Groundfish Plan Development Team
(PDT), results of the recent management
track stock assessments and peer
review. Using the Council’s acceptable
biological catch (ABC) control rules,
recommend the overfishing levels (OFL)
and the ABCs for each stock for fishing
years 2023, 2024 and 2025 for the
following stocks: Georges Bank (GB)
haddock, Gulf of Maine (GOM)
haddock, Southern New England/MidAtlantic yellowtail flounder, Cape Cod/
GOM yellowtail flounder, GB winter
flounder, GOM winter flounder,
American plaice, white hake, pollock,
and Atlantic halibut, and receive an
update on the development of ABC
control rule alternatives under
consideration for the Northeast
Multispecies (Groundfish) Fishery
Management Plan. Also on the agenda is
to review the information provided by
the Council’s Monkfish PDT, results of
the recent management track stock
assessment, and peer review, and
recommend the overfishing levels (OFL)
and the acceptable biological catches for
the northern and southern monkfish
management areas for fishing years
2023–2025 and recommend an approach
for setting the discard deduction from
the annual catch target for setting
specifications for the monkfish fishery
for fishing years 2023–2025. They will
consider other business as necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained on the agenda may come
before this Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Council
action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided the public has

Type of Request: Regular (New
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 140.
Average Hours per Response:
Vulnerability Mapping: 1 hour;
Background Interview: 1.5 hours (only
being conducted with a sample of EMs,
∼100); Trust Survey: 0.25 hours (once at
the start of the study and one at the end
of the study).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 120
hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
a new collection of information.
The data collection is sponsored by
DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Office of Science and
Technology Integration (OSTI).
Currently, NOAA lacks data and data
collection instruments that can capture
local, knowledge-based, weather hazard
vulnerability information from NWS
WFO meteorologists and their CWAbased core partners (especially, their
county-based emergency managers
(EMs). Without this vulnerability
information, WFO-level meteorologists’
situational awareness of the greatest
concerns of and risks to local
communities often suffer. In addition,
during situations where a WFO must
rely on a back-up office due to a WFO
being affected by severe weather
conditions (e.g., having to shelter, losing
power due to the impacts of a hurricane,
tornado outbreak, etc.), back-up WFOs
rarely have the situational awareness of
the critical areas of concern to local core
partners and, thus, are less able to
communicate mission critical messaging
to those core partners. Without this type
of local vulnerability information,
NOAA, and the NWS specifically, is
limited in its ability to meet its mission
of saving lives and property as outlined
in the Weather Research and
Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017
(especially Pub. L. 115–25 Sec.
405.d.1.A, 405.d.1.B, Sec 406.c.2.B).
This effort aims to advance the Tornado
Warning Improvement and Extension
Program (TWIEP)’s goal to ‘‘reduce the
loss of life and economic losses from
tornadoes through the development and
extension of accurate, effective, and
timely tornado forecasts, predictions,
and warnings, including the prediction
of tornadoes beyond one hour in
advance (Pub. L. 115–25)’’. This work
addresses NOAA’s 5-year Research and
Development Vision Areas (2020–2026)
Section 1.4 (FACETs). This effort also
advances the NWS Strategic Plan (2019–
2022) ‘‘Transformative Impact-Based
Decision Support Services (IDSS) and
Research to Operations and Operations
to Research (R2O/O2R). The BVOT
would contribute to the NWS Weather
Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013)

Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and
3.1.4. In addition, because the BVOT is
‘‘hazard agnostic’’—it is used to collect
vulnerabilities based on different
weather hazards and can be organized to
display those vulnerabilities only
related to those specific hazards that are
relevant to an NWS WFO at any given
moment—it can be seen to help advance
a number of hazard-specific
congressional laws including (but, not
limited to) those related to tsunamis
(Pub. L. 109–424 Sec. 5.b.4, 5.c.2, 5.c.3,
Sec. 6; Public Law 115–25 Sec.
505.c.5.B and Sec. 505.d.1) and the
recently introduced TORNADO Act
(S.3817 Sec. 3.b.6.C).
This study will assess the feasibility
of NWS WFOs working with their local
core partners to collect local known
vulnerability points associated with
specific types of weather hazards in
order to populate a simple (but agile)
GIS shapefile that can be used to
provide WFO-level meteorologists with
situational awareness of the
vulnerabilities of greatest concern in
their CWAs. This vulnerability
awareness tool—the Brief Vulnerability
Overview Tool (BVOT)—has been
designed by researchers at the
University of Oklahoma’s Center for
Applied Social Research (CASR) and
Center for the Analysis and Prediction
of Storms (CAPS), and it would permit
NWS WFOs to work closely with their
core partners to collect initial
vulnerability points and to update those
points in a efficient manner that would
require little training and little effort
through the use of widely available,
simple online data collection methods.
Research participants will include
adult (age 18+) NWS WFO
meteorologists and their core partners
(primarily the county emergency
managers (EMs)) from four WFOs
around the country. Participants will be
asked to participate in a number of
background interviews. In addition,
they will be asked to complete an online
(Qualtrics) survey assessing the
attachment, trust, and knowledge of
WFO meteorologists and their core
partners. This survey will be conducted
pre-/post- study in order to identify
changes over time. Participants will also
be asked to contribute to and learn how
to maintain and use a Brief
Vulnerability Overview Tool (BVOT)—a
GIS shapefile-based way of collecting
and displaying local, known
vulnerability points within the existing
operational environment of NWS WFOs.
The creation of a BVOT provides a
number of benefits over and above
current efforts within the NWS. These
include (1) improved situational
awareness for NWS WFO

meteorologists; (2) improved spatial
awareness of vulnerabilities of greatest
concerns to core partners can prompt
and fine-tune messaging and DSS
provided to these core partners; (3)
improved spatial situational awareness
for backup offices if an NWS WFO loses
its capacity to operate; (4) improved
training and orientation for
meteorologists who are new to an NWS
WFO; (5) providing a structured
requirement for maintaining an
evolving, ‘‘living’’ database of
vulnerabilities that can be shared and
equally accessed across the WFO and
the NWS; and (6) providing
opportunities to improve the trust,
communication, and rapport between an
NWS WFO and its core partners through
the collaborative construction and
periodic updating of the BVOT.
