not be completed by the time the IHA
expires and a Renewal would allow for
completion of the activities beyond that
described in the Dates and Duration
section of this notice, provided all of the
following conditions are met:
• A request for renewal is received no
later than 60 days prior to expiration of
the current IHA.
• The request for renewal must
include the following:
(1) An explanation that the activities
to be conducted under the requested
Renewal are identical to the activities
analyzed under the initial IHA, are a
subset of the activities, or include
changes so minor (e.g., reduction in pile
size) that the changes do not affect the
previous analyses, mitigation and
monitoring requirements, or take
estimates (with the exception of
reducing the type or amount of take
because only a subset of the initially
analyzed activities remain to be
completed under the Renewal).
(2) A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized.
• Upon review of the request for
Renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This notice informs the public that
the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS) is requesting the renewal
of an information collection described
in Section II for use in connection with
the final rule entitled ‘‘Certification
Program for Access to the Death Master
File.’’ The final rule was published on
June 1, 2016 and became effective on
November 28, 2016. The information
collection described in Section II, was
approved and became effective on
January 3, 2017.
II. Method of Collection
Title of Information Collection:
‘‘Limited Access Death Master File
Certification Form’’ (Certification Form).
Description of the need for the
information and the proposed use: NTIS
issued a final rule establishing a
program through which persons may
become eligible to obtain access to
Death Master File (DMF) information
about an individual within three years
of that individual’s death (81 FR 34882,
June 1, 2016). The final rule was
promulgated under Section 203 of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public
Law 113–67 (Act). The Act prohibits the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) from
disclosing DMF information during the
three-year period following an
individual’s death (Limited Access
DMF), unless the person requesting the
information has been certified to access
the Limited Access DMF pursuant to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:31 Nov 22, 2019
Jkt 250001
certain criteria in a program that the
Secretary establishes. The Secretary
delegated the authority to carry out
Section 203 to the Director of NTIS.
The final rule requires that a Person
seeking access to the Limited Access
Death Master File establish a legitimate
fraud prevention interest or legitimate
business purpose pursuant to a law,
governmental rule, regulation, or
fiduciary duty. The Certification Form
collects information that NTIS will use
to evaluate whether the respondent
qualifies to receive the Limited Access
Death Master File under the rule.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0692–0013.
Form Number(s): NTIS FM161.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Renewal of currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Members of the
public seeking certification or renewal
of certification for access to the Limited
Access Death Master File under the final
rule for the ‘‘Certification Program for
Access to the Death Master File.’’
Estimated Number of Respondents:
NTIS expects to receive approximately
250 applications and renewals for
certification every year.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.5
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 625 (250 × 2.5 hour = 625 hours).
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: NTIS expects to receive
approximately 250 applications
annually at a fee of $2,930 per
application, for a total cost to the public
of $732,500. In addition, NTIS expects
that preparation of the application will
require a senior administrative staff
person 2.5 hours at a rate of $100/hour,
for a total cost to the public of $62,500
(625 total burden hours × $100/hour =
$62,500). NTIS estimates the total
annual cost to the public to be $795,000
($732,500 in fees + $62,500 in staff time
= $795,000). The total annual cost
reflects the cost to the Federal
Government, which consists of the
expenses associated with NTIS
personnel reviewing and processing the
Certification Application Forms.
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)

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the potential
use of automated collection techniques

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

I. Abstract
This notice informs the public that the National Technical

collection described in Section II for use in connection with the final
rule entitled ``Certification Program for Access to the Death Master

effective on November 28, 2016. The information collection described in
Section II, was approved and became effective on January 3, 2017.
II. Method of Collection
Title of Information Collection: ``Limited Access Death Master File
Certification Form'' (Certification Form).
Description of the need for the information and the proposed use:
NTIS issued a final rule establishing a program through which persons
may become eligible to obtain access to Death Master File (DMF)
information about an individual within three years of that individual's
death (81 FR 34882, June 1, 2016). The final rule was promulgated under
Section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public Law 113-67
(Act). The Act prohibits the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) from
disclosing DMF information during the three-year period following an
individual's death (Limited Access DMF), unless the person requesting
the information has been certified to access the Limited Access DMF
pursuant to certain criteria in a program that the Secretary
establishes. The Secretary delegated the authority to carry out Section
203 to the Director of NTIS.
The final rule requires that a Person seeking access to the Limited
Access Death Master File establish a legitimate fraud prevention
interest or legitimate business purpose pursuant to a law, governmental
rule, regulation, or fiduciary duty. The Certification Form collects
information that NTIS will use to evaluate whether the respondent
qualifies to receive the Limited Access Death Master File under the
rule.
III. Data

Type of Review: Regular submission. Renewal of currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Members of the public seeking certification or

Estimated Number of Respondents: NTIS expects to receive
approximately 250 applications and renewals for certification every
year.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 625 (250 x 2.5 hour = 625
hours).
Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: NTIS expects to receive
approximately 250 applications annually at a fee of $2,930 per

NTIS expects that preparation of the application will require a senior
administrative staff person 2.5 hours at a rate of $100/hour, for a
total cost to the public of $62,500 (625 total burden hours x $100/hour
= $62,500). NTIS estimates the total annual cost to the public to be
$795,000 ($732,500 in fees + $62,500 in staff time = $795,000). The
total annual cost reflects the cost to the Federal Government, which
consists of the expenses associated with NTIS personnel reviewing and
processing the Certification Application Forms.
