SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information.
The data collection is sponsored by
DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Office of Dissemination (DISS)
in consultation with the NWS
Communications Division. Weather.gov
is the main entry point to NWS
forecasts, warnings, and other
information for a diverse user
community, including the public,
partners and emergency managers,
academia, researchers, and employees.
The user interface is intended to serve
many purposes for these audiences but
regular feedback through Customer
Satisfaction Surveys from all users
emphasizes varying levels of difficulty
locating basic information. Such
difficulty diminishes the overall
customer experience. Additionally,
during high impact events, Weather.gov
is known to suffer performance issues
due to increased traffic.
The Weather.gov Survey is permitted
under 15 U.S.C. Ch. 111, Weather
Research and Forecasting Information. It
also advances the NWS Strategic Plan
(2019–2022) ‘‘Transformative ImpactBased Decision Support Services (IDSS)
and Research to Operations and
Operations to Research (R2O/O2R). The
Survey also addresses 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.
The purpose of this collection is to
help determine the appropriate web
content for weather.gov so the customer
experience can be improved and the
content can be better accessed and used.
NWS is looking to improve
functionality, ease of use, and
formatting but feedback on any other
areas of weather.gov that NWS should
consider updating is welcome as well.
The collection will create a high-level
data requirements document that
identifies a set of high-priority NWS
products, services, and observations that
provide mission-critical, timely, and
reliable information to make decisions
with when seconds count. The
document will also identify high-level
partner requirements for accessibility
(mobile versus desktop), timeliness, and
reliability.
This information would be collected
on a one-off basis and analyzed by
Forrester Research, who has assisted
NWS in creating a survey instrument
and would provide NWS with a
summary of findings, raw data and
access to interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or

tools, to visualize the aggregated data.
Respondents include the general public,
defined as (adults ages 18+) who reside
in the United States, as well as NWS
partners. Forrester will oversee
recruitment of U.S. adults by an online
market research company that
aggregates large panels of people who
sign up to complete internet surveys.
Respondents will be asked questions
about their preferred way of getting
weather information (including weather
on regular days and during severe/
hazardous weather), their use of
Weather.gov and other weather
websites, interest in different types of
weather information on a website,
priorities and preferences in accessing
weather-related information online, and
preferred format of receiving weather
information. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of the online
weather information needs (including
information about hazardous weather)
of different customer groups, including
historically underserved and socially
vulnerable communities, how they
prefer to receive this information, how
they would like the Weather.gov main
page to be organized, what additional
functionality they expect that would
make them feel better prepared for
hazardous weather, and has the
potential to explore possible
correlations and causal relationships
with other observed variables of
interest. This data will be used by the
OSTI in NWS to develop a set of website
content requirements to improve the
structure and navigation on
Weather.gov.
II. Method of Collection
Since the primary objective is to
inform website content requirements for
Weather.gov, the method of data
collection will be a web-based survey
interface. Survey sample respondents
(from an online panel) will be nationally
representative, using demographic
questions captured in the survey to set
quotas that mirror the distribution of
demographic groups in the U.S. and
Territories. The survey will be
translated to Spanish.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

U.S.C. 971), the United States is
required to adopt regulations, as
necessary and appropriate, to
implement binding recommendations of
the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
including recommendations on a
specified BFT quota. BFT catch
reporting helps the U.S. monitor this
quota and supports scientific research
consistent with ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.). Recreational anglers and
commercial handgear fishermen are
required to report specific information
regarding their catch of BFT.
Atlantic billfish and swordfish are
managed internationally by ICCAT and
nationally under ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. This collection
provides information needed to monitor
the recreational catch of Atlantic blue
and white marlin, which is applied to
the recreational limit established by
ICCAT, and the recreational catch of
North Atlantic swordfish, which is
applied to the U.S. quota established by
ICCAT. This collection also provides
information on recreational landings of
West Atlantic sailfish, which is
unavailable from other established
monitoring programs. Collection of
sailfish catch information is authorized
under the Magnuson-Stevens Act for
purposes of stock management.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), NOAA’s National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
responsible for management of the
nation’s marine fisheries. Catch
reporting from recreational and
commercial handgear fisheries provides
important data used to monitor catches
of Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS) and supplements other existing
data collection programs. Data collected
through this program are used for both
domestic and international fisheries
management and stock assessment
purposes. NMFS would also like to
expand the title of the collection to
‘‘Atlantic Highly Migratory Species
Recreational Landings and Bluefin Tuna
Catch Reports’’ from the current
‘‘Atlantic Highly Migratory Species
Recreational Landings Reports.’’
Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch
reporting provides real-time catch
information used to monitor the BFT
fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act of 1975 (ATCA, 16

II. Method of Collection
Respondents reporting BFT, Atlantic
marlin, West Atlantic sailfish, or North
Atlantic swordfish catch in states (and
the United States Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico) other than Maryland and
North Carolina may use either an
internet website, mobile smartphone
app, or a toll-free telephone number. In
Maryland and North Carolina, a paper
reporting system is used for all of the
aforementioned species. Under state
law, respondents in Maryland and
North Carolina must submit a landing
card at a state-operated reporting
station. States that participate in a
landing card program must submit
weekly reports and one annual report to
NMFS to summarize landings and
results to date.
