Direct all written comments
to Diana Hynek, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Dr. Kathryn Bisack, National

species to recover (69 FR 53040).
Because available management options
have potentially different
socioeconomic impacts, it is important
to understand the public’s attitudes
towards potential impacts on northern
right whales and the fishing and
shipping industries. This information is
currently not available, yet is an
additional socioeconomic component
critical for improvement of the planning
and evaluation of effective protection
measures for northern right whales.
The pilot instrument will present the
latest information on northern right
whales, current population levels,
probabilities of extinction, alternative
management options, and likely impacts
of management options. The survey is
expected to ask respondents for
information regarding their knowledge
and opinions on northern right whale
conservation, and on the potential
impacts of management options
available to protect the species.
Additional standard social-demographic
information needed to classify
respondents will also be obtained. The
pilot pre-test will gather a sufficient
number of responses to evaluate the
information, presentation, reliability,
internal consistency, response
variability, and other properties of a
newly developed survey. The results
from these pre-test activities will be
used to make improvements to the
survey instrument.
A second Federal Register Notice will
appear when the final survey is to be
conducted. Ultimately, final survey
results may provide information on the
economic benefits of right whale
protection. These results may
supplement other materials to allow one
to evaluate alternative protection
measures. Such information may be
used in an analysis to determine
whether the benefits of stronger
protection measures (i.e., right whale
benefits) are commensurate with the
costs.

I. Abstract
Two modes are being considered,
mail and the Internet; however, we are
more likely to use mail as the method
of collection.

Applications.
Abstract: The invention comprises a
structure comprising a membrane of a
compound spanning an aperture. The
compound comprises a hydrophilic
head group, an aliphatic tail group, and
a polymerizable or polymerized
functional group.
The invention further comprises a
method of forming a structure
comprising: providing a solution of a
compound and a chamber comprising a
partition having an aperture; placing a
quantity of an aqueous liquid into the
chamber, such that the liquid does not
cover any part of the aperture; placing
the solution on the top surface of the
liquid; and raising the solution to a
point above the aperture to form a
membrane of the compound across the
aperture. The compound comprises a
hydrophilic head group and an aliphatic
tail group and comprises a
polymerizable functional group in an
organic solvent.
