developed for the Gulf of Alaska trawl
fishery, may have on catcher processor
businesses, as well as individuals and

changes, combined with those noted in
the 2014 survey, will lead to a greater
understanding of the social impacts new
management measures may have on the
individuals and communities.
II. Method of Collection
Data collection will be undertaken
through the use of a survey instrument.
Data will be collected using a mixed
method approach through a
combination of paper surveys,
electronic surveys, and in-person
interviews to obtain the greatest breadth

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.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB

Endangered and Threatened Species;
Initiation of a Status Review for the
Guadalupe Fur Seal
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of initiation of a status
review; request for information.
AGENCY:
The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces a
status review of the Guadalupe fur seal
(Arctocephalus townsendi) under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA).
A status review is a periodic
undertaking conducted to ensure that
the listing classification of a species is
accurate. A status review is based on the
best scientific and commercial data
available at the time of the review;
therefore, we are requesting submission
of any such information on the
Guadalupe fur seal population in the
eastern Pacific waters that has become
available since the last Guadalupe fur
seal status review in 1984.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to
conduct these reviews, we must receive
your information no later than
December 22, 2014. However, we will
continue to accept new information
about any listed species at any time.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on this document, identified by NOAA–
NMFS–2014–0131, by any of the
following methods:
1. Electronic Submissions: Submit all
electronic public comments via the
Federal e-Rulemaking Portal
www.regulations.gov. To submit
comments via the e-Rulemaking Portal,
first click the ‘‘submit a comment’’ icon,
then enter NOAA–NMFS–2014–0131 in
the keyword search. Locate the

method, to any other address or
individual, or received after the end of
the comment period, may not be

Christina Fahy, West Coast Region, 562–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires that we
conduct a review of listed species at
least once every five years. On the basis
of such reviews under section 4(c)(2)(B),
we determine whether a particular
species should be removed from the list
(delisted), or reclassified from
endangered to threatened, or from
threatened to endangered. Delisting a
species must be supported by the best
scientific and commercial data
available, substantiating that the species
is neither endangered nor threatened for
one or more of the following reasons: (1)
The species is considered extinct; (2)
the species is considered to be
recovered; and/or (3) the original data
available when the species was listed, or
the interpretation of such data, were in
error. Any change in Federal
classification would require a separate
rulemaking process. The regulations in
50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish
a notice in the Federal Register
announcing those species currently
under active review. This notice
announces active review of the
Guadalupe fur seal, currently listed
globally as threatened.
Public Solicitation of New Information
To ensure that the review is complete
and based on the best available
scientific and commercial information,
we are soliciting new information from
the public, relevant governmental
agencies, tribes, the scientific

community, industry, environmental
entities, and any other interested parties
concerning the status of the Guadalupe
fur seal.
Status reviews consider the best
scientific and commercial data and all
new information that has become
available since the listing determination
or most recent status review. Categories
of requested information include: (1)
Species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics; (2) habitat conditions
including, but not limited to, amount,
distribution, and suitability; (3)
conservation measures that have been
implemented that benefit the species;
(4) status and trends of threats; and (5)
other new information, data, or
corrections including, but not limited
to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes,
identification of erroneous information
contained in the list, and improved
analytical methods. Any new
information will be considered during
the status review.
