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

DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before May 21, 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–
0580 in the subject line of your
comments. Do not submit Confidential

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision to a
currently approved information
collection.
On October 10, 2008, NMFS
published a final rule (0648–AS36)
implementing seasonal speed
restrictions along the east coast of the
U.S. to reduce the incidence and

E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM

22MRN1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 53 / Monday, March 22, 2021 / Notices
severity of vessel collisions with North
Atlantic right whales (73 FR 60173). The
final rule contained a mandatory
collection-of-information requirement
subject to the Paperwork Reduction act
(PRA), which collects information about
safety deviations from the rule in
alignment with 50 CFR 224.105(c). The
restrictions are in effect seasonally in
discrete areas along the U.S. eastern
seaboard. NMFS provided a safety
exception to the restrictions due to poor
weather or sea conditions. Ships’
captains are required to make an entry
into the vessel’s Official Logbook when
an exception is necessary.
This revision to the current
information collection includes a
voluntary survey effort of vessel
operators to evaluate their ability and
willingness to: (1) Comply with North
Atlantic right whale mandatory speed
restrictions, and (2) cooperate with
voluntary speed reduction efforts to
protect North Atlantic right whales,
which are promoted through NMFS
outreach efforts. We will collect
information from two types of vessels
(pleasure yachts and large ocean going
vessels) in two different areas of the
North Atlantic right whales’ range using
voluntary online surveys and small
focus groups. The surveys will collect
information about vessel operators’ time
spent on the water, experience and
knowledge about large whales,
knowledge of North Atlantic vessel
strike reduction efforts, opinions about
these whales and conservation efforts,
and their preferred means of receiving
information. Results from this
information collection will be used to
develop effective outreach to these
vessel communities, with the long-term
goal of improving the communities’
compliance with mandatory measures
and cooperation with voluntary
measures that support North Atlantic
right whale vessel strike reduction
conservation efforts.
II. Method of Collection

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

New survey information will be
collected in two ways. Surveys will be
administered electronically. Focus
group information will be collected
either in person or virtually during 2.5hour face-to-face or virtual meetings.
The information collection requires
an entry into the vessel’s hard copy
logbook.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0580.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
[revision of a current information
collection].
