of significance for marine mammal
feeding, resting, breeding, or calving
and would not adversely impact marine
mammal habitat. Due to the nature,
degree, and context of the behavioral
harassment anticipated, we do not
expect the activities to impact annual
rates of recruitment or survival.
NMFS does not expect pinnipeds to
permanently abandon any area surveyed
by researchers, as is evidenced by
continued presence of pinnipeds at the
sites during annual seabird monitoring.
In summary, NMFS anticipates that
impacts to hauled-out harbor seals
during Glacier Bay NP’s research
activities would be behavioral
harassment of limited duration (i.e., up
to two hours per visit) and limited
intensity (i.e., temporary flushing at
most). NMFS does not expect
stampeding, and therefore injury or
mortality, to occur (see ‘‘Mitigation’’ for
more details).
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
proposed mitigation and monitoring
measures, NMFS finds that the total
marine mammal take from Glacier Bay
NP’s proposed research activities will
not adversely affect annual rates of
recruitment or survival and therefore
will have a negligible impact on the
affected species or stocks
Small Numbers
sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
As mentioned previously, NMFS
estimates that Glacier Bay NP’s
activities could potentially affect, by
Level B harassment only, one species of
marine mammal under our jurisdiction.
For harbor seals, this estimate is small
(6.9 percent) relative to the population
size.
Based on the analysis contained in
this notice of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
mitigation and monitoring measures,
NMFS finds that Glacier Bay NP’s
proposed activities would take small
numbers of marine mammals relative to
the populations of the affected species
or stocks.
Impact on Availability of Affected
Species or Stock for Taking for
Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action. Glacier Bay National Park
prohibits subsistence harvest of harbor
seals within the Park (Catton, 1995).

Endangered Species Act (ESA)
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
NMFS does not expect that Glacier
Bay NP’s proposed research activities
(which includes mitigation measures to
avoid harassment of Steller sea lions)
would affect any species listed under
the ESA. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that a section 7 consultation
under the ESA is not required.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
In 2014, NMFS prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA)
analyzing the potential effects to the
human environment from NMFS’
issuance of an Authorization to Glacier
Bay NP for their seabird research
activities.
In September 2014, NMFS issued a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) on the issuance of an
Authorization for Glacier Bay NP’s
research activities in accordance with
section 6.01 of the NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6
(Environmental Review Procedures for
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act, May 20,
1999). Glacier Bay NP’s proposed
activities and impacts for 2016 are
within the scope of the 2014 EA and
FONSI. NMFS provided relevant
environmental information to the public
through a previous notice for the
proposed Authorization (79 FR 32226,
June 4, 2014) and considered public
comments received in response prior to
finalizing the 2014 EA and deciding
whether or not to issue a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI). NMFS has
performed an environmental review of
the 2014 EA and other relevant
documents under NEPA and CEQ
guidelines in determining that there are
no new direct, indirect, or cumulative
impacts to the human and natural
environment associated with the
Authorization requiring evaluation in a
supplemental EA and NMFS.
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
we have issued an Incidental
Harassment Authorization to Glacier
Bay National Park for conducting
seabird research from May 16, 2016
through September 30, 2016, provided
they incorporate the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for a reinstatement,
with changes, of a previously approved
data collect (OMB Control Number
0648–0639).
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) previously collected survey
data in 2007 and 2012 for conducting
economic analyses of marine sport
fishing in Alaska. These surveys were
necessary to understand the factors that
affect the economic value of marine
recreational fishing trips and improve
estimates of fishing trip values that can
aid fishery managers evaluate
management options pertaining to sport
fisheries. The proposed survey is an
update of the previously conducted
surveys and is needed to improve
estimates of fishing trip values
potentially affected by recent changes in
federal recreational fisheries off Alaska,
most notably the Halibut Catch Sharing
Plan (76 FR 44156) which went into
effect in 2014 for the Pacific halibut
fishery. Several questions in the survey
have been updated to better reflect these
recent fishery management changes.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Notices
The Federal Government is
responsible for the management of the
Pacific halibut sport fishery off Alaska,
while the State of Alaska manages the
salmon sport fisheries (Chinook, coho,
sockeye, chum, and pink), as well as
several other saltwater sport fisheries.
The updated survey’s scope covers
marine sport fishing for Pacific halibut,
salmon, and other popular marine sport
species in Alaska (e.g., lingcod and
rockfish). The data collected from the
survey will be used to update estimates
of the demand for and value of marine
fishing to anglers and to analyze how
the type of fish caught, fishery
regulations, and other factors affect
fishing values and anglers’ decisions to
participate in Alaska marine fishing
activities. The economic information
provided from the survey will help
inform fishery managers about the
economic values of Alaska marine sport
fisheries and the changes to
participation in these fisheries with
proposed regulations.

II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected through a
mixed mode mail-telephone survey. A
random sample of sport anglers who
have fished in Alaska will receive an
advance letter informing them that a
survey is on its way. A few days later
the initial questionnaire will arrive. In
subsequent weeks, a reminder postcard,
a reminder telephone call, and a second
questionnaire will be mailed to
respondents who have not completed
and returned the mail survey. The
reminder telephone calls will collect
information from individuals who have
not responded to the mail survey and
encourage them to complete and return
the survey.

AGENCY:
The Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed renewal of a collection of
certain information by the agency.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(‘‘PRA’’), Federal agencies are required
to publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment. This notice solicits
comments on the duties of CFTC
registrants to design, develop and
implement reasonable policies and
procedures to identify relevant red flags
(the ‘‘Identity Theft Red Flags Rules’’),
and potentially to notify cardholders of
identity theft risks. Regulations in part
162 subpart C—Identify Theft Red Flags,
including the information collection
requirements thereunder, are designed
to better protect investors from the risks
of identity theft, and, in the case of
entities that issue credit or debit cards,
to assess the validity of, and
communicate with cardholders
regarding, address changes.
