Significant Issues are used to formulate alternatives, prescribe mitigation measures, or analyze environmental effects. Issues are significant because of the extent of their geographic distribution, the duration of their effects, or the intensity of interest or resource conflicts. 2. Non-Significant Issues are: (1) Outside of the scope of the proposed action; (2) already determined through law, regulation, Forest Plan, or other higher level decision; (3) irrelevant to the decision to be made; (4) conjectural and not supported by scientific fact; (5) a comment, opinion, or position statement; or, (6) a question for clarification or information. Although non-significant issues are not used to formulate alternatives or prescribe mitigation measures, the EIS will disclose all significant environmental effects including any related to non-significant issues. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Comment Requested This notice of intent initiates the scoping process which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. Comments on the proposed action should be submitted within 45 days of the date of publication of this Notice of Intent. The Forest Service will hold a public meeting in March 2012. Early Notice of Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared for comment. The comment period on the draft environmental impact statement will be 45 days from the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes the notice of availability in the Federal Register. The Forest Service believes, at this early stage, it is important to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of draft environmental impact statements must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer’s position and contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft environmental impact statement stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final environmental impact statement may be waived or dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:10 Feb 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 45 day comment period so that substantive comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final environmental impact statement. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments on the draft environmental impact statement should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or chapters of the draft statement. Comments may also address the adequacy of the draft environmental impact statement or the merits of the alternatives formulated and discussed in the statement. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. Comments received, including the names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposal and will be available for public inspection. Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22; Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, Section 21. Dated: February 22, 2012. Susan Skalski, Forest Supervisor.

Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: West Coast Groundfish Trawl Economic Data. OMB Control Number: 0648–0618. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 252. Average Hours per Response: 8 hours. PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Burden Hours: 2,016. Needs and Uses: This request is for a revision of a current information collection. This information collection is needed in order to meet the monitoring requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). In particular, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) needs economic data on all harvesters, first receivers, shorebased processors, catcher processors, and motherships participating in the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery. The currently approved collection covers collection of data for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 operating years. Data from the 2009 and 2010 operating years provides information on the economic condition of the fishery prior to the implementation of catch share management in January 2011, and has been collected by the NWFSC. Data for the 2011 operating year, which will provide information on the first year of operation under the catch share regime, will be collected from all catcher vessels registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, catcher processors registered to catcher processor permits, and motherships registered to mothership permits, first receivers, and shorebased processors that received round or head-and-gutted Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) groundfish or whiting from a first receiver. Based on review of the completed economic data collection (EDC) forms submitted for the 2009 and 2010 operating years as well as discussions with survey respondents, the NWFSC seeks to modify the four forms which are used in this information collection. These modifications clarify instructions, make the requests for information more consistent with the accounting/ bookkeeping systems used by survey recipients, and continue to facilitate meeting MSA requirements for evaluation of the economic effect of catch share management on the West Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery. As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC forms due on September 1, 2012 will provide data for the 2011 operating year. The definition of the survey population is different for 2011 data, to account for differences between the requirements for the baseline collection and ongoing collections as defined in the regulations. To capture vessel improvements and repairs to vessels that did not harvest any groundfish or were operated by lessees, in the 2011 data collection, as well as to collect more complete information about shoreside operations that do not process fish, completion of each form in its E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices entirety will be required for all owners of vessels registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership permit, or a catcher processor permit, owners of a first receiver site license, and owners or lessees of a shorebased processor that received round or headed-and-gutted IFQ species groundfish or whiting from a first receiver. This is in contrast to the 2009 and 2010 data collection which allowed entities that did not harvest or process any groundfish to complete only the first four pages of the forms. Other minor modifications to the catcher vessel forms include asking for information about lease dates of the vessel, and the addition of several expense categories based on feedback from the 2009 and 2010 data collections. The first receiver and shorebased processor form was modified to better align with accounting practices and to clarify the information required for reporting fish purchases. There were no other changes to the mothership or catcher processors forms. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: West Coast Groundfish Trawl Economic Data.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0618.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 252.
    Average Hours per Response: 8 hours.
    Burden Hours: 2,016.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a revision of a current 
information collection.
    This information collection is needed in order to meet the 
monitoring requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). In 
particular, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) needs 
economic data on all harvesters, first receivers, shorebased 
processors, catcher processors, and motherships participating in the 
West Coast groundfish trawl fishery.
    The currently approved collection covers collection of data for the 
2009, 2010, and 2011 operating years. Data from the 2009 and 2010 
operating years provides information on the economic condition of the 
fishery prior to the implementation of catch share management in 
January 2011, and has been collected by the NWFSC. Data for the 2011 
operating year, which will provide information on the first year of 
operation under the catch share regime, will be collected from all 
catcher vessels registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, 
catcher processors registered to catcher processor permits, and 
motherships registered to mothership permits, first receivers, and 
shorebased processors that received round or head-and-gutted Individual 
Fishing Quota (IFQ) groundfish or whiting from a first receiver.
    Based on review of the completed economic data collection (EDC) 
forms submitted for the 2009 and 2010 operating years as well as 
discussions with survey respondents, the NWFSC seeks to modify the four 
forms which are used in this information collection. These 
modifications clarify instructions, make the requests for information 
more consistent with the accounting/bookkeeping systems used by survey 
recipients, and continue to facilitate meeting MSA requirements for 
evaluation of the economic effect of catch share management on the West 
Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery.
    As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC forms due on September 1, 2012 
will provide data for the 2011 operating year.
    The definition of the survey population is different for 2011 data, 
to account for differences between the requirements for the baseline 
collection and ongoing collections as defined in the regulations. To 
capture vessel improvements and repairs to vessels that did not harvest 
any groundfish or were operated by lessees, in the 2011 data 
collection, as well as to collect more complete information about 
shoreside operations that do not process fish, completion of each form 
in its

[[Page 12007]]

entirety will be required for all owners of vessels registered to a 
limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership permit, or a catcher 
processor permit, owners of a first receiver site license, and owners 
or lessees of a shorebased processor that received round or headed-and-
gutted IFQ species groundfish or whiting from a first receiver. This is 
in contrast to the 2009 and 2010 data collection which allowed entities 
that did not harvest or process any groundfish to complete only the 
first four pages of the forms.
    Other minor modifications to the catcher vessel forms include 
asking for information about lease dates of the vessel, and the 
addition of several expense categories based on feedback from the 2009 
and 2010 data collections. The first receiver and shorebased processor 
form was modified to better align with accounting practices and to 
clarify the information required for reporting fish purchases. There 
were no other changes to the mothership or catcher processors forms.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
