Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 15, 2020 / Notices
information. The NMFS Southeast
Region requests information from
fishery participants. This information,
upon receipt, results in an increasingly
more efficient and accurate database for
management and monitoring of the
Federal fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf,
and South Atlantic.
The SERO Permits Office proposes to
revise the collection-of-information
approved under OMB Control Number
0648–0205. NMFS proposes to revise
the Federal permit applications for
Vessels Fishing in the EEZ (Vessel EEZ),
Change of Information Form, Vessel
Fishing in the Colombian Treaty Waters,
Duplicate Federal Fishery Permits,
Operator Card or Decal, Aquacultured
Live Rock (new permit), Aquacultured
Live Rock (permit renewal), Harvest of
Aquacultured Live Rock in the EEZ,
Southeast Region Issued Operator Card,
Consolidate Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish
permits, Vessels Fishing for Wreckfish
in the South Atlantic States (Wreckfish),
Income Qualification Affidavit for Spiny
Lobster, and the Annual Dealer permit.
The purpose of revising certain NMFS
SERO permit application forms is to
better comply with National Standard 4
(NS4) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) and the
Small Business Administration’s
regulations implementing the RFA,
Executive Order 12898, and the
‘‘fairness and equitable distribution’’
provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, including NS4 and section
303(b)(6).
The proposed revisions to the
specified application forms are
administrative and would update
outdated URLs, telephone numbers, and
office hours. NMFS estimates that the
proposed revisions would not change
the annual number of respondents or
responses, or annual costs to affected
permit applicants from estimates in the
currently approved collection. Across
the application forms, NMFS estimates
these revisions would not increase the
overall time burden.
The SERO Permits Office also
proposes to modify the limited access
permits by updating the form field name
related to the selling price of the permit,
along with removing the section related
to the permit’s selling price. NMFS does
not anticipate these revisions will
materially change the time burden to the
applicants.
The SERO Permits Office also
proposes to modify the Vessel EEZ
application to include a checkbox and
language related to the compliance of
regulatory requirements. NMFS does not
anticipate these revisions to the form
will materially change the time burden
to the applicants.

a currently approved collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Average Hours per Response: 10
minutes.
Burden Hours: 664 hours.
Needs and Uses: This collection is

maintain a high level of participation.
We use voluntary surveys to identify the
needs of users of data and best
approaches to leverage expertise of
shore-based participants for meaningful
public engagement focused on ocean
exploration. This information collection
consists of four forms. (1) Sailing
Contact Information (new). This form is
sent to the few scientists that directly
sail on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer.
The ship’s operational officer needs
certain information such as: If a sailing
individual has securely submitted their
proper medical documents to NOAA’s
Office of Marine and Aviation
Operations, if the person is up to date
with required security documents such
as a passport, if the ship is traveling to
a foreign port, or any dietary restrictions
so that the person will be served food
that is safe. (2) Okeanos Explorer
Participation Assessment. This
voluntary form is sent to the scientists
that sailed on any Okeanos Explorer
cruise funded by NOAA’s Office of
Ocean Exploration and Research to
record any feedback they wish to
provide to the office about their
experience. The office uses their
feedback in assessments for improving
the utility and experience of these
scientific guests sailing on the Okeanos
Explorer. (3) EX Collaboration Tools
Feedback (new). This voluntary form is
sent to members of the marine scientific
community at the beginning of a fiscal
year to ask if members would like to
participate in any of the upcoming
cruises and to what degree, such as
simply asking to be included in emailed
updates or if they want to be on a direct
line to the ship for remotely operated
vehicle dive operations. (4) Citizen
Scientist. This voluntary form is
available to general members of the
public and is used for members to
improve the annotation efforts when
watching short video clips of 30 seconds
to 5 minutes.
Affected Public: Targeted towards the
greater ocean exploration community
Individuals or households; business or
other for-profit organizations; not-forprofit institutions; Federal government.
Frequency: EX Collaboration Tools
Feedback: annually; all other forms are
on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Sailing
Contact Information: Required to obtain
or retain benefits; all other forms are
voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey is the
nation’s nautical chartmaker,
maintaining and updating over a
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
thousand charts covering the 3.5 million
square nautical miles of coastal waters
in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
and the Great Lakes. The marine
transportation system relies on charting
accuracy and precision to keep
navigation safe and coastal communities
protected from environmental disasters
at sea.
Coast Survey also writes and
publishes the United States Coast
Pilot®, a series of nine nautical books
that supplement nautical charts with
essential marine information that cannot
be shown graphically on the charts and
are not readily available elsewhere.
Subjects include, but are not limited to,
channel descriptions, anchorages,
bridge and cable clearances, tides and
tidal currents, prominent features,
pilotage, towage, weather, ice
conditions, wharf descriptions, dangers,
routes, traffic separation schemes, small
craft facilities and Federal Regulations
applicable to navigation.
The marine environment and
shorelines are constantly changing.
NOAA makes every effort to update
information portrayed in charts and
described in the Coast Pilot. Sources of
information include, but are not limited
to: Pilot associations, shipping
companies, towboat operators, state
marine authorities, city marine
authorities, local port authorities,
marine operators, hydrographic research
vessels, naval vessels, Coast Guard
cutters, merchant vessels, fishing
vessels, pleasure boats, U.S. Power
Squadron Units, U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary Units, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
The purpose of NOAA’s Nautical
Discrepancy Reporting System is to offer
a formal, standardized instrument for
recommending changes, corrections,
and updates to nautical charts and the
Coast Pilot, and to monitor and
document the accepted changes. Coast
Survey solicits information through the
stakeholder engagement and feedback
tool ASSIST (https://
www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/customerservice/assist/).
Coast Survey is proposing to add a
Citizen Science component to the
collection, which would allow boating
groups or individuals to submit reports
to update the charts. Adding the Citizen
Science component to the collection
method will benefit Coast Survey by
allowing the public to ‘‘adopt’’ a
product or part of a product and provide
annual data updates that directly affect
that product or products. Data obtained
through these systems is used to update
U.S. nautical charts and the United
States Coast Pilot.
