Background The Southeast Alaska purse seine salmon fishery is a commercial fishery in Alaska state waters and adjacent Federal waters. It encompasses the commercial taking of salmon with purse seine gear, and participation is limited to fishermen designated by the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC). Congress authorized a $23.5 million loan to finance a fishing capacity reduction program in the Southeast Alaska purse seine salmon fishery. NMFS published proposed program regulations on May 23, 2011 (76 FR 29707), and final program regulations on October 6, 2011 (76 FR 61986), to implement the reduction program. Interested persons should review these for further program details. E:\FR\FM\03DEN1.SGM 03DEN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    In an effort to streamline processes onboarding new employees and 
associates, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
is preparing to establish a new electronic based EOD (Enter on Duty) 
System to include automation of all of the necessary steps between 
applicant selection and reporting for duty, including completion of 
pre-employment and orientation paperwork by entering information 
through the EOD system. This EOD solution is intended to increase the 
efficiency with which new employees are hired by automating the 
provisioning process and alerting individuals as tasks are completed. 
The system will utilize an upfront information collection instrument 
which will subsequently populate information collection instrument(s) 
required of the incoming Federal employees and NIST Associates. 
Information requested will include personal identifying data including 
home address, date and place of birth, employer name and address, and 
basic security information. Once populated, the individual will be 
required to validate the information.

II. Method of Collection

    Prior to entering on duty with NIST as a federal employee or 
associate, each new entrant will receive a communication from NIST 
requesting that he/she log in to the EOD system and verify/complete 
their personnel data. The communication will provide the relevant link 
and login information to the web based NIST EOD System.
    The new entrant will log in to the EOD system and, based on the new 
entrant's federal employment or NIST associate category, will be 
presented with instructions and information regarding the data they 
will be required to supply. This initial information collection will 
then populate other required information collections which will be 
validated and electronically signed by the new entrant.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: New Collection. 0693-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission.
    Affected Public: Individuals seeking employment with NIST.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: NIST estimates 4,300 new federal 
employees and NIST associates will be processed per year.
    Estimated Time per Response: It is estimated that it will take 40 
minutes to complete the data collection.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,300 x 40 minutes per 
responses = 2,866 burden hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: There is no cost to the 
respondent.

IV. Request for Comments

    NIST invites comments on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will 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.
