SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces our review of the
dusky sea snake (Aipysurus fuscus)
listed as endangered under the ESA.
Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires
that we conduct a review of listed
species at least once every 5 years. This
will be the first review of this species
since it was listed in 2015. The
regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing species currently
under active review. On the basis of
such reviews under section 4(c)(2)(B),
we determine whether any species
should be removed from the list (i.e.,
delisted) or reclassified from
endangered to threatened or from
threatened to endangered (16 U.S.C.
1533(c)(2)(B)). As described by the
regulations in 50 CFR 424.11(e), the
Secretary shall delist a species if the

Secretary finds that, after conducting a
status review based on the best
scientific and commercial data
available: (1) The species is extinct; (2)
the species does not meet the definition
of an endangered species or a threatened
species; and/or (3) the listed entity does
not meet the statutory definition of a
species. Any change in Federal
classification would require a separate
rulemaking process.
Background information on the
species is available on the NMFS
website at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/duskysea-snake.
Public Solicitation of New Information
To ensure that the reviews are
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we are soliciting new
information from the public,
governmental agencies, Tribes, the
scientific community, industry,
environmental entities, and any other
interested parties concerning the status
of Aipysurus fuscus. Categories of
requested information include: (1)
Species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics; (2) habitat conditions
including, but not limited to, amount,
distribution, and important features for
conservation; (3) status and trends of
threats to the species and its habitats; (4)
conservation measures that have been
implemented that benefit the species,
including monitoring data
demonstrating effectiveness of such
measures; and (5) other new
information, data, or corrections
including, but not limited to, taxonomic
or nomenclatural changes and improved
analytical methods for evaluating
extinction risk. If you wish to provide
information for the review, you may
submit your information and materials
electronically or via mail (see
ADDRESSES section). We request that all
information be accompanied by
supporting documentation such as
maps, bibliographic references, or
reprints of pertinent publications. We
also would appreciate the submitter’s

institution, or business that the person
represents; however, anonymous
submissions will also be accepted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) has the responsibility for the
conservation and management of marine
fishery resources. Much of this
responsibility has been delegated to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)/National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Under this stewardship role, the
Secretary was given certain regulatory
authorities to ensure the most beneficial

uses of these resources. One of the
regulatory steps taken to carry out the
conservation and management
objectives is to collect data from users
of the resources.
Regulations at 50 CFR 648.11(g)
require observer service providers to
comply with specific requirements in
order to operate as an approved
provider in the Atlantic sea scallop
(scallop) fishery. Observer service
providers must comply with the
following requirements: Submit
applications for approval as an observer
service provider; formally request
observer training by the Northeast
Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP);
submit observer deployment reports and
biological samples; give notification of
whether a vessel must carry an observer
within 24 hours of the vessel owner’s
notification of a prospective trip;
maintain an updated contact list of all
observers that includes the observer
identification number; observer’s name
mailing address, email address, phone
numbers, homeports or fisheries/trip
types assigned, and whether or not the
observer is ‘‘in service.’’ The regulations
also require observer service providers
submit any outreach materials, such as
informational pamphlets, payment
notification, and descriptions of
observer duties as well as all contracts
between the service provider and
entities requiring observer services for
review to NMFS/NEFOP. Observer
service providers also have the option to
respond to application denials and
submit a rebuttal in response to a
pending removal from the list of
approved observer providers. These
requirements allow NMFS/NEFOP to
effectively administer the scallop
observer program.
