SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST will
release the Draft Community Resilience
Planning Guide (CRPG) for Buildings
and Infrastructure Systems for public
comment on Monday, April 27, 2015,
and it will be posted at https://
www.nist.gov/el/building_materials/
resilience/framework.cfm. The CRPG is
being issued in a draft form with a 60day public comment period. Public
comments will be accepted until 11:59
p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, June 26,
2015.
NIST established a program in
Community Resilience to conduct
research and develop guidance that
improves the way communities prepare
for, withstand, and recover from
disruptive events, such as natural
hazards. The Draft CRPG has benefitted
from the input of private and public
sector stakeholders and experts, with a
wide range of expertise in areas
including but not limited to community
planning, disaster recovery, emergency
management, business continuity,
insurance/re-insurance, state and local
government, design, construction, and
maintenance of infrastructure
(buildings, water and wastewater,
electric power, communications,
transportation), and standards and code
development. The Framework is
intended to provide local governments
with a methodology for including
resilience in their long term community
development planning process and to
provide a means to facilitate
engagement with external stakeholders
that have a role in ensuring community
resilience.
Public Workshop: The 5th NIST
Community Resilience Workshop will
be held on Monday April 27th at Texas
Southern University, 3100 Cleburne
Street, Houston, TX 77004 from 8:30
a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Central Time. The
workshop will provide an overview of
the Draft CRPG, describe its application,
and present a panel of emergency
planners and other local and regional
representatives who will discuss the
potential utility of the new tool for their
communities and respond to questions
from attendees. NIST encourages the
attendance of anyone with an interest in
improving the resilience of U.S.
communities, including those with
knowledge or expertise in community
planning, disaster recovery, emergency
management, business continuity,
insurance/re-insurance, state and local
government, design, construction, and

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: NOAA Customer Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0342.
Form Number(s): None.
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 183,000.
Average Hours per Response: 10
minutes.
Burden Hours: 17,000.
Needs and Uses: 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.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; not-for-profit institutions;
state, local or tribal government;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 9, 2015, notice was published in
the Federal Register (80 FR 1398) that
a request for an amendment Permit No.
15543–03 to conduct research on
bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and
Atlantic spotted (Stenella frontalis)
dolphins for scientific research had
been submitted by the above-named
applicant. The requested permit
amendment 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 amended permit expands the
study area to include the bay, sound,
estuary and associated coastal waters of
Mobile Bay, AL, and Terrebonne Bay,
LA, and added annual takes in each
location by remote biopsy sampling of
bottlenose dolphins. Annual biopsy
takes were also added to the currently
authorized allotment of Florida biopsy
activities to include a focused study in
Pensacola Bay, FL. The amendment also

authorizes the capture, satellite-tagging,
and release of Atlantic spotted dolphins
for health assessments by hoop-netting
bow-riding individuals during surveys
on the West Florida Shelf. Up to two
takes by unintentional mortality are
authorized annually. Finally, the
amended permit authorizes a minor
procedural modification to allow the
administration of doubly-labeled water
(deuterium oxide and oxygen-18) to
bottlenose dolphins that are temporarily
captured during currently permitted
health assessments.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Advisory Panel (AP) will meet to
discuss several issues. First, the AP will
review progress and make
recommendations related to
Amendment 19 alternatives.
Amendment 19 is considering measures
to address timing issues that inhibit
implementation of fishery specifications
at the start of the scallop fishing year
(March 1). The Advisory Panel will also
discuss an issue that has been raised at
previous meetings related to scallop
fishing space in near shore areas and
issues of differential catch rates for
general category and limited access
vessels. The Council may have a
workshop later in the year to discuss
these issues further. The AP will also
review a draft action plan for
Framework 27 that will consider fishery
specifications for 2016 and default
measures for 2017. Finally, the Advisory
Panel will discuss final research priority
recommendations for the 2016 Scallop
Research Set-Aside announcement. All
recommendations will be forwarded to
the Scallop Committee meeting that is
scheduled several weeks later.
