Atlantic Reports
In the Atlantic region (including the
Atlantic coast, Gulf Coast, and U.S.
territories in the Caribbean), 52 reports
(covering 80 stocks) were updated,
including 23 Atlantic reports and 29
Gulf of Mexico reports. Of these, 43
stocks are ‘‘strategic’’ and 37 are ‘‘nonstrategic.’’ Information on the remaining
Atlantic region stocks can be found in
the final 2011 reports (Waring et al.,
2011).
Atlantic white-sided dolphins became
non-strategic in 2012, due to new
abundance estimates. The Northern
North Carolina Estuarine System Stock
of bottlenose dolphins has a new
abundance estimate based on a 2006
mark-recapture survey, resulting in a
PBR calculation of 7.9 animals for this
stock (previously ‘‘undetermined’’ PBR);
the stock remains ‘‘strategic.’’ The Gulf
of Mexico Northern Coastal Stock of
bottlenose dolphins changed from nonstrategic to strategic status with this
2012 report, because an Unusual
Mortality Event of unprecedented size
and duration (began 1 February 2010
and is ongoing) has impacted the
Northern Coastal Stock area.
A new section entitled Habitat Issues
has been added to each Gulf of Mexico
report, which includes information on
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the
Natural Resource Damage Assessment
process.

Pacific Reports
In the Pacific region (waters along the
west coast of the United States, within
waters surrounding the main and
Northwest Hawaiian Islands, and within
waters surrounding U.S. Territories in
the Western Pacific), SARs were revised
for 15 stocks (five ‘‘strategic’’ and ten
‘‘non-strategic’’ stocks). Strategic stocks
included: Hawaiian monk seal,
Southern Resident killer whale, Hawaii
Insular false killer whale, Hawaii
Pelagic false killer whale, and
California/Oregon/Washington Sperm
Whale. Non-strategic stocks included:
Long-beaked common dolphin, Eastern
North Pacific Gray Whale, Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands false killer whale,
Palmyra Atoll false killer whale, Hawaii
Island spinner dolphin, Oahu/Four
Islands spinner dolphin, Kauai/Niihau
spinner dolphin, Pearl and Hermes Reef
spinner dolphin, Midway Atoll/Kure
spinner dolphin, and Hawaii Pelagic
spinner dolphin. Information on the
remaining Pacific region stocks can be
found in the final 2011 reports (Carretta
et al., 2012).

whale reports that focus on the
Hawaiian Islands region, and a new
stock of Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
false killer whales is presented for the
first time. New abundance estimates are
available for eight stocks: Hawaiian
monk seal, Long-beaked common
dolphin, Southern Resident killer
whale, three stocks of spinner dolphin
(Hawaii Island, Oahu/Four Islands, and
Kauai/Niihau), Hawaii Pelagic false
killer whale and Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands false killer whale. The
stock assessment report for Eastern
North Pacific gray whales is now
included in the Pacific Region stock

permit has been issued under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
the regulations governing the taking,

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.).
The permit authorizes the receipt and
export of samples of marine mammals
taken by Alaskan Native subsistence
hunters; and the receipt, import, and
export of specimens from scientists in
academic, federal, and state institutions
involved in legally authorized marine
mammal research for all marine
mammal species under NMFS

purposes. Import and export activities
may occur world-wide. No takes of live
animals are authorized. The permit will
expire August 1, 2017.
In compliance with the National

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
As required by the ESA, issuance of
this permit was based on a finding that
such permit: (1) Was applied for in good
faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.

collection activity would garner

institutions, consumers, and
stakeholders on a wide range of services
the Bureau provides in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Bureau’s commitment to improving
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
the Bureau means information that
provides useful insights on, for
example, comprehension, usability,
perceptions, and opinions, but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative
results that can be generalized to the
population of study. The Bureau expects
this feedback to include insights into
consumer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the Bureau and consumers,
financial institutions, and stakeholders.
It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from consumers, financial
institutions, and stakeholders on the
Bureau’s services will be unavailable.
The Bureau will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered is intended to
be used only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the
PO 00000

Bureau (if released, the agency must
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance would provide useful
information, but it would not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Type of Review: New Generic.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Businesses, Organizations,
and other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions; and State, Local or Tribal
Governments.

Activities: 25.
