I. Abstract
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection. Respondents will be
commercial fishing industry
individuals, partnerships, and
corporations which entered into Capital
Construction Fund agreements with the
Secretary of Commerce allowing
deferral of Federal taxation on fishing
vessel income deposited into the fund
for use in the acquisition, construction,
or reconstruction of fishing vessels.
Deferred taxes are recaptured by
reducing an agreement vessel’s basis for
depreciation by the amount withdrawn
from the fund for its acquisition,
construction, or reconstruction. The
deposit/withdrawal information
collected from agreement holders is
required pursuant to 50 CFR part 259.35
and Public Law 99–514 (The Tax
Reform Act, 1986). The information
collected is required to ensure that
agreement holders are complying with
fund deposit/withdrawal requirements
established in program regulations and
properly accounting for fund activity on
their Federal income tax returns. The
information collected must also be
reported semi-annually to the Secretary
of Treasury in accordance with the Tax
Reform Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a reinstatement of
a previously approved information
collection. Due to an unusually dry
winter, this survey could not be
conducted during the OMB approval
period.
This project is a joint effort of the
University of Utah, NOAA’s National
Weather Service (NWS), the Utah
Department of Transportation (UDOT),
and NorthWest Weathernet (NWN) to
investigate and understand the
relationship between meteorological
phenomena and road conditions, as well
as public understanding and response to
available forecast information. The
events which impact the Salt Lake City
metro area during the winter of 2012–
2013 will be examined. Through the
administration of a targeted survey,
important details will be gathered
regarding: (a) The information that
drivers possessed prior to and during a
storm, including knowledge of observed
and forecast weather conditions; (b)
sources of weather and road
information; (c) any modification of
travel and/or commute plans, based on
event information; (d) anticipation and
perception of storm impacts and
severity; and (e) perception and
behavioral response to messages
conveyed by the NWS and UDOT, along
with their satisfaction of information
provided. Analyses of the information
gathered will focus on driver
knowledge, perceptions, and decision
making. Ultimately, the results of this
survey will provide insight on how the
Weather Enterprise may more
effectively communicate hazard
information to the public in a manner
which leads to improved response (i.e.,
change travel times, modes, etc.). With
a sufficient level of behavior change, it
should be possible to improve safety

weather related congestion and
associated delays. Additionally, the
project will shed light upon the
interrelationship between
meteorological phenomena, road
conditions, and their combined impact
on travel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Secretary of Commerce has the
responsibility for the conservation and
management of marine fishery
resources. We, NOAA’s National Marine
Fisheries Service, and the Regional
Fishery Management Councils are
delegated the majority of this
responsibility. The New England
Fishery Management Council (Council)
develops management plans for fishery
resources in New England.
In 2009, we implemented
modifications to the requirements for
midwater trawl vessels issued an All
Areas Limited Access Herring Permit
and/or an Areas 2 and 3 Limited Access
Herring Permit that fish in Northeast
(NE) multispecies Closed Area I (CA I).
Affected vessels intending to fish in CA
I at any point during a trip are required
to declare their intention when
scheduling a NMFS-approved at-sea
observer. To ensure 100–percent
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
observer coverage, midwater trawl
vessels are not permitted to fish in CA
I without an observer.
Midwater trawl vessels in the directed
herring fishery that have been assigned
a NMFS-approved at-sea observer and
that are fishing in CA I, are prohibited,
unless specific conditions are met (see
below), from releasing fish from the
codend of the net, transferring fish to
another vessel that is not carrying a
NMFS-approved observer, or discarding
fish at sea, unless the fish have first
been brought aboard the vessel and
made available for sampling and
inspection by the observer.
We recognize that there are certain
conditions under which fish must be
released from the codend without being
sampled. Therefore, fish that have not
been pumped aboard the vessel may be
released if the vessel operator finds that:
Pumping the catch could compromise
the safety of the vessel; mechanical
failure precludes bringing some or all of
a catch aboard the vessel; or spiny
dogfish have clogged the pump and
consequently prevent pumping of the
rest of the catch. If a net is released for
any of these three reasons, the vessel
operator must complete and sign a CA
I Midwater Trawl Released Codend
Affidavit detailing where, when, and
why the net was released as well as a
good-faith estimate of both the total
weight of fish caught on that tow and
the weight of fish released (if the tow
had been partially pumped). The
completed affidavit form must be
submitted to us within 48 hr of the
completion of the trip.
Following the release of a net for one
of the three exemptions specified above,
the vessel is required to exit CA I. The
vessel may continue to fish, but may not
fish in CA I for the remainder of the trip.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents must submit paper forms
via postal service.
