ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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 May 8, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6616,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection. On October 10, 2008, NMFS
published a final rule implementing
speed restrictions to reduce the
incidence and severity of ship collisions
with North Atlantic right whales (73 FR
60173). That final rule contained a
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 10-knot speed
limit was necessary for safe
maneuverability under certain
conditions: because the vessel is in an
area where oceanographic, hydrographic
and/or meteorological conditions
severely restrict the maneuverability of
the vessel and the need to operate at
such speed is confirmed by the pilot on
board or, when a vessel is not carrying
a pilot, the master of the vessel.
II. Method of Collection
This information collection requires
an entry into the ship’s logbook.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0580.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,047.
Estimated Time per Response: 5
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 254.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection. This
action would continue the reporting
measure requiring all Virginia
Chesapeake Bay pound net fishermen to
report interactions with endangered and
threatened sea turtles, found both live
and dead, in their pound net operations.
When a live or dead sea turtle is
discovered during a pound net trip, the
Virginia pound net fisherman is
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
required to report the incidental take to
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and, if necessary, the
appropriate rehabilitation and stranding
network. This information will be used
to monitor the level of incidental take in
the state-managed Virginia pound net
fishery and ensure that the seasonal
pound net leader restrictions (50 CFR
223.206(d)(10)) are adequately
protecting listed sea turtles. Based on
the number of sea turtle takes
anticipated in the Virginia pound net
fishery and the available number of
Virginia pound net fishermen and
pound nets, the number of responses
anticipated on an annual basis is 483.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
NOAA funds habitat restoration
projects including grass-roots,
community-based habitat restoration;
debris prevention and removal; removal
of barriers to migrating fish; and largescale, targeted restoration through
individual projects and restoration
partnerships. Awards are made as grants
or cooperative agreements under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act, 16 U.S.C. 661, as
amended by the Reorganization Plan
No. 4 of 1970.
NOAA requires specific information
on habitat restoration projects that we
fund, as part of routine progress
reporting. Recipients of NOAA funds
submit information such as project
location, restoration techniques used,
species benefited, acres restored, stream
miles opened to access for diadromous
fish, volunteer participation, and other
parameters.
