with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

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

Agency: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), Commerce.
Title: Green Sturgeon ESA 4(d) Rule
Take Exceptions and Exemptions.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0613.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 45.
Average Hours Per Response: Written
notification describing research,
monitoring, habitat restoration, or
emergency fish rescue and salvage
activities, 40 hours; research
applications, 40 hours; development of
state 4(d) research programs, 40 hours;
development of a tribal fishery
management or fishery management and
evaluation plan, 160 hours; FMEP
report, 20 hours; reports, 5 hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,510.
Needs and Uses: The Southern
Distinct Population Segment of North
American green sturgeon (Acipenser
medirostris; hereafter, ‘‘Southern DPS’’)
was listed as a threatened species in
April 2006. Protective regulations under
section 4(d) of the ESA were
promulgated for the species on June 2,
2010 (75 FR 30714) (the final ESA 4(d)
Rule) and codified at 50 CFR 223.210.
To comply with the ESA and the
protective regulations, entities must
obtain take authorization prior to
engaging in activities involving take of
Southern DPS fish unless the activity is
covered by an exception or exemption.
‘‘Take’’ is defined as to harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct. Certain
activities described in the ‘‘exceptions’’
provision of 50 CFR 223.210(b) are not
subject to the take prohibitions if they
adhere to specific criteria and reporting
requirements. Under the ‘‘exemption’’
provision of 50 CFR 223.210(c), the take
prohibitions do not apply to scientific
research, scientific monitoring, and
fisheries activities conducted under an
approved 4(d) program or plan;
similarly, take prohibitions do not apply
to tribal resource management activities
conducted under a Tribal Plan for

which the requisite determinations
described in 50 CFR 223.210(c)(3) have
been made.
To ensure that activities qualify under
exceptions to or exemptions from the
take prohibitions, local, state, and
federal agencies, non-governmental
organizations, academic researchers,
and private organizations are asked to
voluntarily submit detailed information
regarding their activity on a schedule to
be determined by National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) staff. This
information is used by NMFS to (1)
track the number of Southern DPS fish
taken as a result of each action; (2)
understand and evaluate the cumulative
effects of each action on the Southern
DPS; and (3) determine whether
additional protections are needed for
the species, or whether additional
exceptions may be warranted. NMFS
designed the criteria to ensure that
plans meeting the criteria would
adequately limit effects on threatened
Southern DPS fish, such that additional
protections in the form of a federal take
prohibition would not be necessary and
advisable.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local, or Tribal
government; Federal government;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Written notification
describing research, monitoring, habitat
restoration, or emergency fish rescue
and salvage activities, on occasion;
development of fisheries management
and evaluation plans, state 4(d) research
programs, or tribal fishery management
plans, on occasion; fisheries
management and evaluation plan
reports, biannually; all other reports,
annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: Endangered Species
Act.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. The Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes
the establishment of eight Regional
Fishery Management Councils to
manage fisheries within regional
jurisdictions. This collection pertains to
several sections of the MagnusonStevens Act related to the Councils.
Section 302(b) provides for appointment
of Council members nominated by State
Governors, Territorial Governors, or
Tribal Governments and for designation
of a principal state fishery official for
the purposes of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. Section 306(b)(2) provides for a
request by a state for reinstatement of
state authority over a managed fishery.
Nominees for Council membership must
provide their State Governor, Territorial
Governor, or Tribal Government
leadership with background
documentation, which is then submitted
to NOAA, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce to review qualifications for
Council membership. The information
collected with these actions is used to
ensure that the requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act are being met in
regards to Council membership and
state authority.
II. Method of Collection
State Governors, Territorial
Governors, and Tribal Governments
submit written nominations to the
Secretary of Commerce, together with
recommendations and statements of
candidates’ qualifications. Designations
of state officials and requests for
reinstatement of state authority are also
made in writing in response to
regulations. NMFS provides guidance
on what information to include in order
to comply with current regulations. See
50 CFR 600.215. No forms are used.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0314.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection).
Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal
government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
275.
Estimated Time per Response: 80
hours for a nomination for Council
appointment; 16 hours for background
documentation for nominees; 1 hour to
designate a principal state fishery
official(s) or for a request to reinstate
authority.
