The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite 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. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on July 5, 2022
(87 FR 39806) during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.

Marine Debris’’. We request to revise the
name of the collection from ‘‘Reporting
of Sea Turtle Entanglement in Fishing
Gear or Marine Debris’’ 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 (NOAA Fisheries) 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 NOAA Fisheries and USFWS,
which was reaffirmed in 2015, NOAA
Fisheries 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.
NOAA Fisheries 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 conservationrelevant 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 Stun Event
individual and batch forms, Fishing
Gear Identification form, 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). NOAA Fisheries 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 NOAA Fisheries 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 NOAA Fisheries
and USFWS identifies and highlights
the need to maintain an active stranding
network. Both NOAA Fisheries 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.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Not-for-profit institutions;
State, local, or Tribal government;
Federal Government.
Frequency: As needed as sea turtle
strandings occur and are reported.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Collection of these
data to inform causes of morbidity and
mortality in sea turtles is necessary to
fulfill statutory requirements of the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During
this meeting, the SSC will review the
draft Fisheries Climate Governance
Policy developed by NMFS. The draft
policy is intended to provide guidance
on the process and evaluation criteria to
determine if a designation change in
Council authority is necessary due to
geographic changes in stock distribution
pursuant to section 304(f) under
Magnuson Stevens Act. The SSC will
provide feedback and advice on the
policy’s scientific, socioeconomic, and
management implications. The Council
will review SSC feedback at their
August 2023 meeting as part of its
process to help develop comments on
the draft policy for NMFS consideration.
A detailed agenda and background
documents will be made available on
the Council’s website (www.mafmc.org)
