Information Collection
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 September
25, 2023 during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
Title: Pacific Coast Groundfish
Salmon Bycatch Minimization.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0794.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
extension of a current information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 14.
Average Hours per Response: SMP
proposal (10 hours), SMP amendment (3
hours), Administrative appeals for
disapproved SMP (6 hours), SMP
postseason report (8 hours).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 113
burden hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection. On February 23,
2021, NMFS published in the Federal
Register a final rule (86 FR 10857)
allowing a Pacific whiting sector
cooperative or group of vessels to
develop a Salmon Mitigation Plan
(SMP) to promote reduction in Chinook
salmon bycatch. The rule also
established that vessels with a NMFSapproved SMP have access to the
Chinook salmon bycatch reserve
regardless of NMFS implementing other
in season measures to minimize salmon
bycatch. The associated regulations are
found at 50 CFR part 660. OMB
approved the collection-of-information
requirements contained in the final rule

on March 10, 2021, under OMB Control
Number 0648–0794 (Pacific Coast

Minimization).
The public reporting burden for the
submission of SMPs and post-season
reports includes the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information.
NMFS estimates receiving up to six
SMP proposals, six SMP post-season
reports, and one amended SMP, per year
over the next three years. NMFS
estimates receiving one administrative
appeal for a disapproved SMP over the
next three years. Public reporting
burden is estimated to average 10 hours
per response for the SMP proposal, 3
hours per response for an amended
SMP, 6 hours per response for an
administrative appeal of a disapproved
SMP, and 8 hours per response for the
SMP postseason report.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions.

Obtain or Retain Benefits.
