I. Abstract
The Endangered Species Act of 1973
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) imposed
prohibitions against the taking of
endangered species. Section 10 of the
ESA allows permits authorizing the
taking of endangered species for
research/enhancement purposes. The
corresponding regulations established
procedures for persons to apply for such
permits. In addition, the regulations set
forth specific reporting requirements for
such permit holders. The regulations
contain two sets of information
collections: (1) Applications for
research/enhancement permits, and (2)
reporting requirements for permits
issued.
The required information is used to
evaluate the impacts of the proposed
activity on endangered species, to make
the determinations required by the ESA
prior to issuing a permit, and to
establish appropriate permit conditions.
To issue permits under ESA Section
10(a)(1)(A), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) must
determine that (1) such exceptions were
applied for in good faith, (2) if granted
and exercised, will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species, and (3) will be consistent with
the purposes and policy set forth in
Section 2 of the ESA.

We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The National Weather Service (NWS)
established the StormReady program in
1999 and the TsunamiReady program in
2002 to help communities, counties,
Indian nations, universities and
colleges, military bases, government
sites, commercial enterprises and other
groups reduce the potential for weatherrelated and tsunami hazards through
advanced planning, education, and
awareness. The program encourages

E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM

21APN1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 21, 2021 / Notices
communities to take a new, proactive
approach to improving local hazardous
weather operations by providing
emergency managers with clear-cut
guidelines on how to improve their
hazardous weather operations. By
participating in this program, local
agencies earn recognition for their
jurisdiction by meeting guidelines
established by the NWS in partnership
with federal, state, and local emergency
management professionals. Information
and details on the StormReady and
TsunamiReady programs are located at
https://www.weather.gov/stormready/
and https://www.weather.gov/
tsunamiready/.
A Supporter is an organization,
business, facility, or local government
entity actively engaged in weather safety
and preparedness that is unable to meet
all the requirements of the full
StormReady or TsunamiReady program.
Sites may be eligible based on the
bylaws of the local NWS StormReady
Advisory Board and endorsement of
local emergency management. A local
StormReady Advisory Board has final
approval for Supporter designation.
StormReady/TsunamiReady are
voluntary programs that provide
guidance and incentive to officials
interested in improving their hazardous
weather operations. The government
will use the information collected by the
StormReady/TsunamiReady application
to determine whether a community has
met all of the guidelines to receive
StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition.
II. Method of Collection
The information is collected via a
digital or paper form. The form is
accessible on the internet in PDF.
Requirements are verified by NWS staff
via an in person or virtual site visit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) implemented Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 665.815(b)
requiring Hawaii-based longline
fisherman to safely handle and release
short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria
albatrus) (STAL) caught incidentally
during fishing operations. These
regulations satisfy the Terms and
Conditions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s (USFWS) November 2000
‘‘Biological Opinion for the Effects of
the Hawaii-based Longline Fleet on the
Short-tailed Albatross (Phoebastra
albatrus) [FWS 1–2–1999–F–02R]’’
(revised November 18, 2002, October 8,
2004, and January 6, 2012) (BiOp)
issued pursuant to Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Following the retrieval of the albatross
from the ocean, the vessel operator must
record the condition of the bird on a
recovery data form. A veterinarian will
use the information to provide advice to
the vessel operator for caring for the
bird. If the albatross is dead, the vessel
operator must attach an identification
tag to the carcass to assist U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in
follow-up studies on the specimen. This
collection is one of the terms and
conditions contained in the Endangered
Species Act Section 7 biological opinion
