SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is requesting renewal of a
currently approved collection of
information. On October 10, 2008,
NMFS published a final rule with
regulations (0648–AS36) implementing
seasonal speed restrictions along the
east coast of the U.S. to reduce the
incidence and severity of vessel
collisions with endangered North
Atlantic right whales (73 FR 60173). The
final rule contained a mandatory
collection-of-information requirement
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA). Specifically, 50 CFR 224.105(c)
requires a logbook entry to document
that a deviation from the speed limit
was necessary for safe maneuverability
under certain conditions. On November
18, 2021, the information collection was
revised to include a voluntary survey 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. NOAA collects
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 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
Vessel logbook entries are required
from vessel operators if an exception to
the vessel speed restriction is invoked,
and the speed limit exceeded. Typically,
paper logbooks are not routinely

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2023 / Notices
submitted to a federal agency and
remain entirely on individual vessels.
However, logbooks may be requested by
federal authorities if questions arise
regarding the circumstances under
which the deviation was invoked.
Voluntary survey effort information is
collected in three ways: (1)
electronically; (2) in-person focus
groups; or (3) virtual focus groups.
