SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Council and the Commission are
developing a joint action to consider
adjusting the allocations of catch or
landings between the commercial and
recreational fisheries for summer
flounder, scup, and black sea bass. The
commercial and recreational allocations
for all three species are currently based
on historical proportions of landings
(for summer flounder and black sea
bass) or catch (for scup) from each
sector. The current allocations were set
in the mid-1990s and have not been
revised since that time. Recent changes
in how recreational catch is estimated
have resulted in a discrepancy between
the current levels of estimated
recreational harvest and the allocations
of summer flounder, scup, and black sea

bass to the recreational sector. This
action will consider whether
modifications to the allocations are
needed in light of these and other
changes in the fisheries. This action will
also consider the option to transfer a
portion of the allowable landings each
year between the commercial and
recreational sectors, in either direction,
based on the needs of each sector, and
consider whether future additional
modifications to the commercial/
recreational allocations and/or transfer
provisions can be considered through a
future FMP addendum/framework
action, as opposed to an amendment.

ACTION: Notice of information collection,
request for comment.
AGENCY:

The Department of
Commerce, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
proposed, and continuing information
collections, which helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. The purpose of this
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to OMB.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before March 30, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to
Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer,
at Adrienne.thomas@noaa.gov. Please
reference OMB Control Number 0648–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) collects,
generates, retains, and redistributes
geospatial metadata in a wide array of
data formats covering diverse aspects of
earth, biological, and space sciences. To
fully understand and reuse these data
over the course of many years, NOAA
provides several metadata
documentation tools for various
communities of users to enable them to

easily create complete, standards-based
descriptive information about geospatial
data. The following tools, in use or
planned for use by NOAA Program
offices, are authorized to collect
geospatial metadata consistent with
Executive Order 12906, NOAA
Administrative Order 212–15, and the
2013 Office of Science and Technology
Policy Memorandum ‘Public Access to
Research Results’. Geospatial metadata
collected by the listed tools are
voluntary, but the ability for data
documented by relevant geospatial
metadata is significantly degraded if
metadata are incomplete, inaccurate or
otherwise less than the information
collection tool supports.
• National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service:
Send2NCEI web application (currently
approved as OMB Control Number:
0648–0024).
• National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service:
Advanced Tracking and Resource tool
for Archive Collections (ATRAC) web
application (new).
• National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service:
Collection Metadata Editing Tool
(CoMET) web application (new).
• National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS): InPort metadata authoring tool
(new).
• Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric
Research (OAR): Science Data
Information System (SDIS) metadata
and data submission tool (new).
Collecting geospatial metadata is
necessary to fully understand, use, and
reuse geospatial data, geospatial
metadata because metadata provides
contextual information about data
formats, bounding areas, use and access
limitations (if any). Geospatial metadata
from this information collection also
supports multiple search and discovery
catalog services, such as data.gov,
NASA Global Change Master Directory
(GCMD), and many others.
Information will be collected from
data producers (primarily university,
private industry, and governmentfunded scientific researchers) in
multiple fields of geosciences, biological
and atmospheric sciences, and socioeconomic sciences. Geospatial metadata
typically includes descriptive
information about specific observed,
calculated, or modelled data (e.g., title,
abstract, purpose statement, descriptive
discovery keywords), characteristics of
the described data (e.g., date and spatial
range of data collection activities, data
processing steps, collected/measured
variables and units of measure for those
variables) and administrative
information (e.g., who collected or

created data and metadata, how to cite
data when used in scientific analyses).
Information collected by the listed tools
is used to inform the appropriate use of
data described by related geospatial
metadata.
The existing OMB control number is
being revised to include additional
information collection instruments that
collect similar kinds of geospatial
metadata as Send2NCEI, but that have
different community-based practices or
standards that provide for more or less
details in the metadata requested.
Additionally, the title of this collection
of information is being revised from
National Centers for Environmental
Information (NCEI) Send2NCEI Web
Application to NOAA Geospatial
Metadata to more accurately reflect the
revised collection of information.
II. Method of Collection
All of the listed information
collection instruments use a series of
guided web page (html) forms to collect
specific elements of geospatial metadata
(e.g., start/end date of data observations,
descriptive discovery keywords, file
format types and file-naming
conventions).
