Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 78 / Friday, April 23, 2010 / Notices
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Task Force seeks input on the
development, use and acceptance of
privacy-related technologies and
business processes and their potential to
enhance consumer trust in Internet
commerce.
What is the state of development of
technologies and business methods
aimed at: (1) Improving companies’
ability to monitor and audit their
compliance with their privacy policy
and expressed user preferences; (2)
using text analysis or similar
technologies to provide privacy notices;
and (3) enabling anonymized browsing,
communication and authentication?
Please describe any other ongoing
efforts to develop privacy-enhancing
technologies or processes of which the
Commerce Department should be aware.
How has recent research demonstrating
the possibility of data re-identification
affected anonymization research efforts?
Have consumers or businesses readily
accepted or used these technologies
when they were made available? What
steps can be taken to assure that
privacy-enhancing business processes
are robust, complied with and regularly
updated? Do technology designers and
implementers have the right balance of
incentives to include privacy
considerations at the design phase of
their work? Have currently-available
privacy-related technologies and
processes increased user trust or
companies’ ability to manage personal
information?
Finally, the FCC has raised a number
of privacy-related recommendations for
government action.34 Specifically, the
Plan recommends clarifying the
relationship between users and their
online profiles; developing trusted
‘‘identity providers’’ to assist consumers
manage their data; and creating
principles to require customers provide
informed consent before service
providers share certain types of
information with third parties. What
kinds of contributions to privacy and
innovation could such identity
providers make? What marketplace
experience is there with such trusted
third parties? Are there any services of
this sort imagined by the FCC in
operation today? Is any government
action needed to encourage the
marketplace in this direction?
7. Small and Medium-Sized Entities and
Startup Companies
Small and medium-sized entities
(SMEs) and startup companies face the
same data protection laws and
guidelines as their larger counterparts,
but with fewer resources. The Task
34 See
15:23 Apr 22, 2010
8. The Role for Government/Commerce
Department
The U.S. privacy framework described
above is multi-faceted. The combination
of sector-specific laws for sensitive data,
self-regulation, complemented by FTC
enforcement authority, transparent
privacy practices, and voluntary
guidelines, have generated industry best
practices, privacy seal programs and
private sector innovation to enhance
privacy disclosures and consumer
choice regarding data usage. In many,
though not all cases, this has been a
formula for success to build on. Yet,
surveys continue to indicate that
consumers are concerned or confused
about what happens to their personal
information online. The Task Force
seeks input on how to help address
barriers to increased innovation and
consumer trust in the information
economy.
How can the Commerce Department
help address issues raised by this Notice
of Inquiry?

Information.

Force seeks input on how the issues
outlined above might uniquely affect
smaller companies and how these
effects are managed.
How do existing privacy laws impact
SMEs and startup companies? Please
describe any unique compliance
burdens placed on smaller companies as
a result of existing privacy laws. Are
there commercial or collective tools
available to address such issues? How
might privacy protections be better
achieved in the SME environment?
Have smaller companies been unable to
engage in certain types of business
activities as a result of existing privacy
laws? Do foreign privacy laws pose a
barrier to SMEs’ international business
plans? If such unique burdens do exist,
what mechanisms do SMEs see as
helpful for surmounting those
challenges?

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before June 22, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Diana Hynek, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6625,
14th and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230 (or via the
Internet at dHynek@doc.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Marine recreational anglers are
surveyed for catch and effort data, fish
biology data, and angler socioeconomic
characteristics. These data are required
to carry out provisions of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA), (16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.) as amended, regarding
conservation and management of fishery
resources.
The marine recreational fishing catch
and effort data are currently collected
through a combination of telephone
surveys and on-site intercept surveys
with recreational anglers. Recent
amendments to the MSA require the
development of an improved data
collection program for recreational
fisheries. To meet the requirements of
the MSA, NOAA’s National Marine
Fisheries Service is developing pilot
studies to test alternative approaches for
surveying recreational anglers. Studies
will test the effectiveness of panel
surveys for contacting anglers and
collecting recreational fishing catch and

effort data. The goal of these studies is
to develop an efficient means of
collecting fishing data while
maintaining complete coverage of the
angling population, as well as testing
assumptions and assessing potential
sources of error in ongoing recreational
fishing surveys.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected by
telephone, mail and online (Web)
interviews.
