SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
NOAA National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) certified observers are a
vital part of fisheries management.
Observers are deployed to collect
fisheries data in the field; observers
often deploy to vessels and work
alongside fishers for weeks and months
at a time. The work environment
observers find themselves in can be
challenging, especially if observers find
themselves a target for victim type
violations such as sexual harassment,
intimidation, or even assault. NOAA
Fisheries’ Office of Law Enforcement
prioritizes investigations into
allegations of sexual harassment, hostile
work environment, assault and other
complaints, which may affect observers
individually. However, it is difficult for
a person to disclose if they have been
a victim of a crime, and law
enforcement cannot respond if no
complaint is submitted. The true
number of observers who have
experienced victim type crimes is
unknown, and the reasons why they do
not report is also unclear. More
information is needed to understand
how many observers per year
experience victim type crimes, and why
they chose not to report to law
enforcement.
The Office of Law Enforcement,
Alaska Division, is conducting a survey
of North Pacific Observers to determine
the number of observers who
experienced victimizing behavior
during deployments in 2016 and 2017.
The survey will also investigate the
reasons that prevented observers from

14SEN1

43222

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2017 / Notices

reporting these violations. The results of
the survey will provide the Office of
Law Enforcement a better understanding
of how often observers are victimized,
which will enable them to reallocate
resources as needed, conduct more
training for observers to ensure they
know how to report, conduct training to
ensure people understand what
constitutes a victim crime, and to
increase awareness of potential
victimizations. Additionally, the survey
results will help law enforcement
understand the barriers to disclosure, so
enforcement may begin to address these
impediments so they no longer prevent
observers from disclosure.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected on a voluntary
basis, via an electronic survey to ensure
anonymity. The survey will be offered
to all observers who deployed in 2016
and 2017 in the North Pacific Observer
Program. Individual data will not be
released for public use.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular (request for a

Affected Public: Individuals or

Estimated Number of Respondents:
300.
Estimated Time per Response: 10

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 50 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to

I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
The objective of the short survey will
be to understand how anglers respond
to changes in trip costs and fishing
regulations in the Gulf of Mexico. We
are conducting this survey to improve
our ability to predict changes the
number of fishing trips anticipated with
changes in economic conditions or
fishing regulations. This will improve
the analysis of the economic effects of
proposed changes in fishing regulations
and changes in economic factors that
affect the cost of fishing such as fuel
prices.

The population consists of those
anglers who fish in the Gulf of Mexico
from Florida, including those who
possess a license to fish, and those who
are not required to have a license (e.g.,
seniors). We plan to independently
sample from the frame designed for the
Fishing Effort Survey (FES) of the
Marine Recreational Fishing Program
(MRIP). Anglers will be mailed a
postcard that directs them to a Web site
to complete the survey.
II. Method of Collection
The survey will be conducted using
two modes: Mail and Internet.
