SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved generic information
collection.
This collection follows the guidelines
contained in the OMB Resource Manual
for Customer Surveys. In accordance
with Executive Order 12862, the
National Performance Review, and good
management practices, NOAA offices
seek approval to continue to gather
customer feedback on services and/or
products, which can be used in
planning for service/product
modification and prioritization. Under
this generic clearance, individual offices
would use approved questionnaires and
develop new questionnaires, as needed,
by selecting subsets of the approved set
of collection questions and tailoring
those specific questions to be
meaningful for their particular
programs. These proposed
questionnaires would then be submitted
to OMB using a fast-track request for
approval process, for which separate
Federal Register notices are not
required. Surveys currently being
conducted include Web site satisfaction
surveys, a Chart Users survey, and a
Coastal Services Center Training
Evaluation.
The generic clearance will not be used
to survey any bodies NOAA regulates
unless precautions are taken to ensure
that the respondents believe that they
are not under any risk for not
responding or for the contents of their
responses; e.g., in no survey to such a
population will the names and
addresses of respondents be required.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected via mail,
email or online.
III. Data

organizations.

clarity of the information to be

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the

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

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Regulations at 50 CFR part 300,
subpart J, govern U.S. fishing in the
Economic Zone of the Russian
Federation. Russian authorities may
permit U.S. fishermen to fish for
allocations of surplus stocks in the
Russian Economic Zone. Permit
application information is sent to the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) for transmission to Russia. If
Russian authorities issue a permit, the
vessel owner or operator must submit a
permit abstract report to NMFS, and
also report 24 hours before leaving the
U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for
the Russian Economic Zone and 24
hours before re-entering the U.S. EEZ
after being in the Russian Economic
Zone.
The permit application information is
used by Russian authorities to
determine whether to issue a permit.
NMFS uses the other information to
help ensure compliance with Russian
and U.S. fishery management
regulations.
II. Method of Collection
Paper forms are used for applications.
Submission of copies of permits, vessel
abstract reports, and departure and
return messages are provided by fax.
