Space
weather refers to the dynamic
conditions of the space environment
that arise from interactions with
emissions from the sun, including solar
flares, solar energetic particles, and
coronal mass ejections. These emissions
can affect Earth and its surrounding
space, potentially causing disruption to
electric power transmission; satellite,
aircraft, and spacecraft operations;
telecommunications; position,
navigation, and timing services; and
other technology and infrastructure.
Given the growing importance and
reliance of the Nation on these services
and infrastructures, it is critical that the
Nation prepare for the effects of space
weather events.
In October 2016, the Space Weather
Operations, Research, and Mitigation
(SWORM) Subcommittee was
established by the National Science and
Technology Council (NSTC) Committee
on Environment, Natural Resources, and
Sustainability, pursuant to Executive
Order 13744 on Coordinating Efforts to
Prepare the Nation for Space Weather
Events. The Executive Order directed
the SWORM Subcommittee to
coordinate the implementation of the
activities specified in the 2015 National
Space Weather Action Plan (SWAP),
among them the development of a plan
that will ensure the improvement,
testing, and maintenance of operational
forecasting models. This plan is
described in the draft white paper
Improving the Space Weather
Forecasting Research to Operations
(R2O)—Operations to Research (O2R)
Capability, and this notice solicits
public inputs to inform its development.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: West Coast Saltwater Fishing
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection)
Number of Respondents: 3,767.
Average Hours Per Response:
Saltwater angler survey, 25 minutes;
non-saltwater angler survey, 10 minutes;
screening survey 3 minutes.
Burden Hours: 408.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
The Northwest Fisheries Science
Center and Southwest Fisheries Science
Center are undertaking an economics
research project to assess the behavior of
saltwater recreational anglers in
response to catch rates, bag limits, and
the timing and length of the season, and
how these actions affect the value of
saltwater recreational fishing. The West
Coast Saltwater Fishing Survey
(WCSFS) will provide critical economic
data related to saltwater recreational
fishing on the Pacific West Coast. More
specifically, the WCSFS will collect
data needed to (1) assess the
socioeconomic characteristics of
recreational saltwater fishing
participants; (2) assess the economic
value of saltwater recreational fishing
trips through statistical estimation of
models; and (3) assess the change in
these values associated with possible
changes in management policies related
to catch rates, bag limits, season timing
and length, time and area closures, and
changes in economic or fishery
conditions.
All of the protocols that will be used
in the final survey will be tested prior
to the full survey administration. If the
survey needs revision based on this
pretest, we will submit the revised
instruments as part of a non-substantive
change request.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
