Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: Northeast Multispecies Amendment 16. OMB Control Number: 0648–0605. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission (revision and extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 1,482. Average Hours per Response: Pre-trip notification, trip start hail, trip forward hail, 48-hour notification for all multispecies vessels and provision of weigh-out slips to monitoring providers, 2 minutes each; monitoring system for discards and database entry, 3 minutes; transfer of annual catch entitlement, call-in for vessel monitoring system (VMS) unit confirmation, area and daysat-sea declaration, notification of monitor emergency, relay catch/discard data, days-at-sea transfers, 5 minutes each; VMS certification form, reporting of monitor deployments, Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization reporting, 10 minutes each; catchreporting requirements, vessel trip-end hails, 15 minutes; notification of ejection from sector, monitoring reporting requirements for safety, copies of contracts and supporting documents, 30 minutes; Office of Law Enforcement debrief of monitor, 2 hours; sector VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:11 Mar 12, 2013 Jkt 229001 manager weekly catch reports; 4 hours; sector manager annual catch reports, 12 hours; monitoring and reporting service provider’s application, and response to denial, 10 hours each; submission of proposed special access programs; 20 hours; operations plan and NEPA analysis, 640 hours total. Burden Hours: 80,637. Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a current information collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Secretary of Commerce has the responsibility for the conservation and management of marine fishery resources. We, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), 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 2010, we implemented a new suite of regulations for the Northeast (NE) multispecies fishery through Amendment 16 to the Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (Amendment 16). This action updated status determination criteria for all regulated NE multispecies or ocean pout stocks; adopted rebuilding programs for NE multispecies stocks newly classified as being overfished and subject to overfishing; revised management measures, including significant revisions to the sector management measures, necessary to end overfishing, rebuild overfished regulated NE multispecies and ocean pout stocks, and mitigate the adverse economic impacts of increased effort controls. It also implemented new requirements under Amendment 16 for establishing acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACLs), and accountability measures (AMs) for each stock managed under the FMP, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Revisions: The Restricted Gear Requirements have been removed from the regulations. Therefore the requirement to declare into these areas via VMS, or to receive an LOA are also removed from this information collection. Also, percentages of trip monitoring, planned to change after the first three years, are changed. In an attempt to consolidate reporting requirements that are mandated by the NE multispecies regulation, we propose moving some requirements out of OMB Control No. 0648–0202, Northeast Region Permit Family of Forms, and PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 into this collection, including: The Days-at-Sea Transfer Program, Expedited Submission of Proposed Special Access Programs, and North Atlantic Fisheries Organization Reporting Requirements.

The subject permit is requested under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations governing the taking and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216). The applicant would conduct research on California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) to investigate foraging, diving, energetics, food habits, and at sea distribution along the California coast. Procedures would include capture, sedation, morphometrics, isotope and Evans blue dye administration, blood sampling, tagging/marking, instrument attachment, stomach lavage and enema, urine sampling, swabs, blubber/muscle biopsy, metabolic measurements, doubly-labeled water measurements, hair and vibrissae collection, milk sampling, and scat collection. Up to 100 pups/juveniles and 100 adults would be sampled annually, with some or all of the procedures performed. The applicant also requests authorization to recapture tagged California sea lions throughout their U.S. range. Harassment of up to 8,450 California sea lions, 500 harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and 300 northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) annually incidental to these activities is requested. The applicant also requests unintentional research-related mortality of up to 20 California sea lions over the course of the permit. Import and export of pinniped samples is also requested. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial determination has been made that the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. Concurrent with the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, NMFS is forwarding copies of the application to the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors.
