SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This is a request for revision and
extension of collection 0648–0496
entitled ‘‘Reporting of Sea Turtle
Entanglement in Fishing Gear or Marine
Debris’’. We request to revise the name
of the collection to ‘‘National Sea Turtle
Stranding and Salvage Network
Stranding and Gear Interaction Data
Collection’’ and to add new forms to the
collection to be inclusive of all forms
used by Sea Turtle Stranding and
Salvage Network (STSSN).
NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) share federal
jurisdiction for the conservation and
recovery of sea turtles. In accordance
with the 1977 Memorandum of
Understanding between NMFS and
USFWS, which was reaffirmed in 2015,
NMFS serves as the lead for and
coordinator of the STSSN. The STSSN
currently responds to and documents,
sick, injured, and dead (i.e., ‘stranded’)
sea turtles that are found in coastal areas
under U.S. jurisdiction along the
Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
NMFS Office of Protected Resources
coordinates the STSSN. The Sea Turtle
Disentanglement Network (STDN) is a
part of the STSSN. The STSSN is a
cooperative effort of authorized federal,
state, and private partners working to
inform causes of morbidity and
mortality in sea turtles by responding to
and documenting stranded sea turtles.
Information is collected in a manner
sufficient to inform sea turtle
conservation management and recovery.
The STSSN accomplishes this through
(1) collection of data in accordance with
STSSN protocols; (2) improved
understanding of causes of death and
threats to sea turtles; (3) monitoring of
stranding trends; (4) provision of initial
aid to live stranded sea turtles; (5)
provision of sea turtle samples/parts for
conservation-relevant research; and (6)
availability of timely data for
conservation management purposes. To
facilitate this data collection, the STSSN
uses several standardized data
collection forms. To ensure all data
collected by the STSSN are in the same
collection, we propose adding the
following forms to 0648–0496: STSSN
Stranding Report form, Gross Necropsy
forms (2 page and 4 page versions), Cold

PO 00000

Stun individual and batch forms,
Fishing Gear Identification forms, and
Incidental Capture Intake form
(currently approved in collection 0648–
0774, expiring December 31, 2024).
All species of sea turtle found in U.S.
waters are listed as endangered or
threatened under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). NMFS and the
USFWS share federal jurisdiction for the
conservation and recovery of sea turtles.
Section 4(f) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531–
1544) provides for the creation of
Recovery Plans for endangered and
threatened species and provides NMFS
and USFWS with authority ‘‘to procure
the services of appropriate public and
private agencies and institutions and
other qualified persons’’ in order to
implement those plans. To advance the
conservation and recovery of listed sea
turtles, each sea turtle recovery plan
developed jointly by NMFS and USFWS
identifies and highlights the need to
maintain an active stranding network.
Both NMFS and USFWS have
promulgated regulations that provide an
exception to the prohibitions on take
and allow for coordinated response to
stranded sea turtles in water and on
land, based on their specific
jurisdictional responsibility.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected using the
following methods: paper format,
electronically (internet), email, or
interviews.
