certain members to participate at
specific stock assessment workshops
dependent on their ability to participate,
discuss, and offer scientific input and
advice regarding the species being
assessed.
NMFS is not obligated to fulfill any
requests (e.g., requests for an assessment
of a certain species) that may be made
by the SEDAR Pool or its individual
members. Members of the SEDAR Pool
who are invited to attend stock
assessment workshops will not be
compensated for their services, but may
be reimbursed for their travel-related
expenses to attend such workshops.
B. Nomination Procedures for
Appointments to the SEDAR Pool

C. Meeting Schedule
Individual members of the SEDAR
Pool meet to participate in stock
assessments at the discretion of the
Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS.
Stock assessment timing, frequency, and
relevant species will vary depending on
the needs determined by NMFS and
SEDAR staff. NMFS is currently
assessing the status of the hammerhead
shark species in the hammerhead shark
management group (scalloped and
Carolina hammerhead, smooth
hammerhead, and great hammerhead).
SEDAR released the final research
assessment in February 2024 and NMFS
expects to complete the operational
assessment, which will provide the final
stock assessment results and
management advice, in late 2024.
Beginning in 2025, following the
completion of the hammerhead stock
assessments, NMFS plans to assess the
sandbar shark stock. Once the sandbar
shark assessment is complete, NMFS
plans to assess the bull shark stock
starting at some point in 2026. All
meetings are open for observation by the
public.

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
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to OMB.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before December 2, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to
Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer,
at NOAA.PRA@noaa.gov. Please
reference OMB Control Number 0648–
0024 in the subject line of your
comments. Do not submit Confidential
Business Information or otherwise
sensitive or protected information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for renewal and
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) collects,
generates, retains, and redistributes
geospatial metadata in a wide array of

PO 00000

Frm 00093

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

data formats covering diverse aspects of
earth, biological, and space sciences. To
fully understand and reuse these data
over the course of many years, NOAA
provides several metadata
documentation tools for various
communities of users to enable them to
easily create complete, standards-based
descriptive information about geospatial
data. The following tools, in use by
NOAA Program offices, are authorized
to collect geospatial metadata consistent
with Executive Order 12906, NOAA
Administrative Order 212–15, and the
2013 Office of Science and Technology
Policy Memorandum ‘Public Access to
Research Results’. Geospatial metadata
collected by the listed tools are
voluntary, but the ability for data
documented by relevant geospatial
metadata is significantly degraded if
metadata are incomplete, inaccurate or
otherwise less than the information
collection tool supports. The collections
approved under this control number
include: (1) National Environmental
Satellite, Data and Information Service:
Send2NCEI web application; (2)
National Environmental Satellite, Data
and Information Service: Advanced
Tracking and Resource tool for Archive
Collections (ATRAC) web application;
(3) National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service:
Collection Metadata Editing Tool
(CoMET) web application; (4) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): InPort
metadata authoring tool; and (5) Office
of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research
(OAR): Science Data Information System
(SDIS) metadata and data submission
tool.
Collecting geospatial metadata is
necessary to fully understand, use, and
reuse geospatial data, geospatial
metadata because metadata provides
contextual information about data
formats, bounding areas, use and access
limitations (if any). Geospatial metadata
from this information collection also
supports multiple search and discovery
catalog services, such as data.gov,
NASA Global Change Master Directory
(GCMD), and many others.
Information will be collected from
data producers (primarily university,
private industry, and governmentfunded scientific researchers) in
multiple fields of geosciences, biological
and atmospheric sciences, and socioeconomic sciences. Geospatial metadata
typically includes descriptive
information about specific observed,
calculated, or modeled data (e.g., title,
abstract, purpose statement, descriptive
discovery keywords), characteristics of
the described data (e.g., date and spatial
range of data collection activities, data
processing steps, collected/measured

03OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices
variables and units of measure for those
variables) and administrative
information (e.g., who collected or
created data and metadata, how to cite
data when used in scientific analyses).
Information collected by the listed tools
is used to inform the appropriate use of
data described by related geospatial
metadata.
II. Method of Collection
All of the listed information
collection instruments use a series of
guided web page (html) forms to collect
specific elements of geospatial metadata
(e.g., start/end date of data observations,
descriptive discovery keywords, file
format types and file-naming
conventions).
