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: North Pacific Observer Program
Safety and Security Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0759.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (Revision
request).
Number of Respondents: 300.
Average Hours per Response: .17 (10
minutes per respondent).
Burden Hours: 50.
Needs and Uses: 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 in which observers find
themselves can be challenging,
especially if the observer finds
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 that 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 survey will also investigate the
reasons that prevented observers from
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.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Title: Alaska Groundfish Tagging
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0276.
Form Number(s): None.

Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 440.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes for returning a regular tag, and
20 minutes for returning an internal
archival tag.
Burden Hours: 89
Needs and Uses: NOAA Fisheries is
mandated to assess the health of the
populations of commercially important
species with the best information
possible. Groundfish tagging programs
in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and
Alaska waters provide essential research
data on groundfish life histories and
migration patterns that are necessary for
successful management. Collecting tag
recovery data from the public is
essential for the success of this program.
Each year, thousands of fish are caught
during NOAA Fisheries stock
assessment surveys. These fish are
weighed and measured, and their sex is
determined. Fish that appear healthy
and uninjured are tagged before being
released back into the wild. Fishermen
and seafood processors subsequently
find the tagged fish. By returning the tag
to NOAA Fisheries, along with
information on when and where the fish
was caught and the size and weight of
the fish, these fishermen and processors
provide extremely valuable information
to fishery scientists and managers.
Tagging groundfish for subsequent
tracking and recovery is an important
tool for managing fishery resources and
the information gathered has resulted in
numerous scientific and management
publications by NOAA Fisheries
personnel.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local, or tribal
government; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Once per year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
