Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: North Pacific Observer Program Safety and Security Survey. OMB Control Number: 0648–0759. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular (Revision request). Number of Respondents: 300. Average Hours per Response: .17 (10 minutes per respondent). Burden Hours: 50. Needs and Uses: NMFS certified observers are a vital part of fisheries management. Observers are deployed to collect fisheries data in the field; observers often deploy to vessels and work alongside fishers for weeks and months at a time. The work environment in which observers find themselves can be challenging, especially if the observer finds themselves a target for victim type violations such as sexual harassment, intimidation, or even assault. NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Law Enforcement prioritizes investigations into allegations of sexual harassment, hostile work environment, assault, and other complaints that may affect observers individually. However, it is difficult for a person to disclose if they have been a victim of a crime, and law enforcement cannot respond if no complaint is submitted. The true number of observers who have experienced victim type crimes is unknown, and the reasons why they do not report is also unclear. More VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Jun 10, 2019 Jkt 247001 information is needed to understand how many observers per year experience victim type crimes, and why they chose not to report to law enforcement. The survey will also investigate the reasons that prevented observers from reporting these violations. The results of the survey will provide the Office of Law Enforcement a better understanding of how often observers are victimized, which will enable them to reallocate resources as needed, conduct more training for observers to ensure they know how to report, conduct training to ensure people understand what constitutes a victim crime, and to increase awareness of potential victimizations. Additionally, the survey results will help law enforcement understand the barriers to disclosure, so enforcement may begin to address these impediments so they no longer prevent observers from disclosure. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.

PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Type of Request: Regular. Number of Respondents: 440. Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes for returning a regular tag, and 20 minutes for returning an internal archival tag. Burden Hours: 89 Needs and Uses: NOAA Fisheries is mandated to assess the health of the populations of commercially important species with the best information possible. Groundfish tagging programs in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and Alaska waters provide essential research data on groundfish life histories and migration patterns that are necessary for successful management. Collecting tag recovery data from the public is essential for the success of this program. Each year, thousands of fish are caught during NOAA Fisheries stock assessment surveys. These fish are weighed and measured, and their sex is determined. Fish that appear healthy and uninjured are tagged before being released back into the wild. Fishermen and seafood processors subsequently find the tagged fish. By returning the tag to NOAA Fisheries, along with information on when and where the fish was caught and the size and weight of the fish, these fishermen and processors provide extremely valuable information to fishery scientists and managers. Tagging groundfish for subsequent tracking and recovery is an important tool for managing fishery resources and the information gathered has resulted in numerous scientific and management publications by NOAA Fisheries personnel. Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, local, or tribal government; business or other for-profit organizations. Frequency: Once per year. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
