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: NMFS Observer Programs’
Information that can be Gathered Only
Through Questions.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0593.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 13,295.
Average Hours Per Response: An
observed trip is considered a response,
and completion of all required forms per
observer program averages 67 minutes,
ranging from 15 minutes to 112 minutes.
Burden Hours: 26,782.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a current information
collection. The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) deploys fishery observers on
United States (U.S.) commercial fishing
vessels and to fish processing plants in
order to collect biological and economic
data. NMFS has at least one observer
program in each of its six Regions.
These observer programs provide the
most reliable and effective method for
obtaining information that is critical for
the conservation and management of
living marine resources. Observer
programs primarily obtain information
through direct observations by
employees or agents of NMFS; and such
observations are not subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
However, observer programs also collect
the following information that requires
clearance under the PRA: (1)
Standardized questions of fishing vessel
captains/crew or fish processing plant
managers/staff, which include gear and
performance questions, safety questions,
and trip costs, crew size and other
PO 00000

economic questions; (2) questions asked
by observer program staff/contractors to
plan observer deployments; (3) forms
that are completed by observers and that
fishing vessel captains are asked to
review and sign; (4) questionnaires to
evaluate observer performance; and (5)
a form to certify that a fisherman is the
permit holder when requesting observer
data from the observer on the vessel.
NMFS seeks to renew OMB PRA
clearance for these information
collections.
The information collected will be
used to: (1) Monitor catch and bycatch
in federally managed commercial
fisheries; (2) understand the population
status and trends of fish stocks and
protected species, as well as the
interactions between them; (3)
determine the quantity and distribution
of net benefits derived from living
marine resources; (4) predict the
biological, ecological, and economic
impacts of existing management action
and proposed management options; and
(5) ensure that the observer programs
can safely and efficiently collect the
information required for the previous
four uses. In particular, these biological
and economic data collection programs
contribute to legally mandated analyses
required under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA), the Endangered Species Act,
the Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA), Executive Order
12866 (E.O. 12866), as well as a variety
of state statutes. The confidentiality of
the data will be protected as required by
the MSA, Section 402(b).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
