ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before May 9, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6616,
14th and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230 (or via the
Internet at JJessup@doc.gov).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Shannon Penna, National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), West
Coast Region (WCR) Long Beach Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension to the existing reporting
requirements approved under OMB
Control Number 0648–0204, West Coast
Region Family of Forms. The West Coast
Region (WCR) Permits Office
administers permits required for
persons to participate in Federallymanaged fisheries off the West Coast
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq. There are three types
of permits: Basic fishery permits for
Highly Migratory Species (HMS),
limited entry permits for Coastal Pelagic
Species (CPS), and experimental fishing
permits (EFP). The WCR Permits Office
proposes to revise one permit within the
collection of information approved
under OMB Control Number 0648–0204.
Currently, under 50 CFR part 660.707,
HMS permits are issued to vessels that
fish for HMS off or land HMS in the
States of California, Oregon, and

Washington. Permits are issued for a 2year term and remain valid until the
first date of renewal. The InterAmerican Tropical Tuna Commission
(IATTC) adopted amended Resolution
C–11–06 which requires a vessel on the
IATTC regional vessel registry to add a
photograph of the vessel showing its
identifying vessel markings. NMFS
proposed to revise OMB Control
Number 0648–0204 to require new and
renewing applicants to submit a vessel
photo with their application. Owners
can email or mail photographs to the
Long Beach Permits Office, which in
turn will be submitted to the IATTC
vessel database manager. Online
submission option is expected to be
available through the National Permits
System (NPS) by 2016 year-end.
NMFS estimates this revision could
affect up to 1639 respondents, which is
the total number of permitted HMS
vessels. Currently, HMS renewal forms
are mailed to permit holders within 60
days prior to expiration. To reduce the
expected burden from photo
submission, pre-filled renewal forms
with basic data will substitute the
current renewal application. Forms can
be completed by signing and dating a
statement of acknowledgement that all
current information is correct.
The basic information collected from
applicants will remain the same. There
will be minimal expected public burden
to submit photographs, which will not
apply after the initial photo is
submitted. There will be no additional
burden beyond the estimated
application processing time or
recordkeeping/reporting costs.
II. Method of Collection
Forms are available on the Internet;
paper applications are also available
and may be submitted by mail to the
Long Beach Permits Office. In addition,
an online submission option is available
for Highly Migratory Species through
the National Permits System.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0204.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a current
information collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,475 (HMS), 65 (CPS).
Estimated Time per Response: HMS
permit renewal applications, 3 minutes;
CPS transfers, 15 minutes; new HMS
permits, 60 minutes; photo requirement,
30 minutes; additional information
(when requested) for the CPS fishery, 1
hour; appeals, 2 hours.

instrument and instructions should be
directed to Jane DiCosimo, NOAA

Technology, 1315 East-West Highway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
NOAA Fisheries utilizes observers to
collect information on catch, bycatch,
fishing efforts, biological characteristics,
interactions with protected species, and
socioeconomic information from United
States (U.S.) commercial fishing and
processing vessels. More information on
the observer population is needed to
support the Agency’s conservation and
management goals, to strengthen and
improve fishery management decisionmaking, and to satisfy legal mandates
under the Reauthorization of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act (MSA), the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), the
Endangered Species Act, and the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), Executive Order 12866 (EO
12866), and other pertinent statutes.
The National Observer Program (NOP)
is conducting a survey of fishery
observers in order to investigate
incentives and disincentives for
remaining an observer and to identify
their subsequent career choices. The
data will be used by the NOP and
regional observer programs to improve
observer recruitment and retention
rates. The survey results will be used by
regional program managers to evaluate
current observer provider contract
requirements to increase observer
retention. With a greater understanding
of these data observer retention may
increase as a result of improved
recruitment for observers. Improved
retention of qualified and experienced
observers is expected to reduce training
efforts and costs, and improve data
quality. Observers are often the only
independent data collection source for
federal agency and scientists to collect
at-sea data and are crucial in fishery
management.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected via an
electronic voluntary survey. We plan to
distribute approximately 2000 surveys
to the universe of active and former
observers. The data will be collected
anonymously and will not be released
