SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Sea turtles can become accidentally
entangled in active or discarded fishing
gear, marine debris, or other line in the
marine environment. Entanglement has
the potential to cause serious injury or
mortality, which would negatively
impact the recovery of endangered and
threatened sea turtle populations. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
established the Sea Turtle
Disentanglement Network (STDN) to
respond to these entanglement events,
in particular those involving the vertical
line of fixed gear fisheries. The STDN’s
goals are to increase reporting, to reduce
serious injury and mortality to sea
turtles, and to collect information that
can be used for mitigation of these
threats. As there is limited observer
coverage of fixed gear fisheries, the
STDN data are invaluable to NMFS in
understanding the threat of
entanglement and working towards
mitigation.
II. Method of Collection
Reports will be submitted on paper
(faxed or mailed), by telephone, or
electronically.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0496.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations; not-for-profit institutions;
State, Local, or Tribal government;
Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
111.
Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 2.5
hours per case.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 165.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $100 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
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
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
