Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 66 / Monday, April 6, 2020 / Notices
Council’s groundfish and CPS advisory
bodies are encouraged to attend to
prepare their recommendations to the
Council. Proposed changes to the Terms
of Reference were first considered in an
online webinar on December 13, 2019.
A report from that webinar was
discussed by the SSC at their March
meeting and their recommended
changes to the ToR were adopted by the
Pacific Council for public review. The
Pacific Council is scheduled to adopt a
final Terms of Reference at their June
meeting in San Diego, California.
No management actions will be
decided by the SSC’s Groundfish and
CPS Subcommittees. The SSC
Groundfish and CPS Subcommittees’
members’ role will be development of
recommendations and reports for
consideration by the SSC and Pacific
Council at the June meeting in San
Diego, CA.
Although nonemergency issues not
contained in the meeting agendas may
be discussed, those issues may not be
the subject of formal action during this
meeting. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
notice and any issues arising after
publication of this notice that require
emergency action under Section 305(c)
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent of the SSC Groundfish
Subcommittee to take final action to
address the emergency.

information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Surveys to Collect Data on Use
of the NOAA National Weather Service
Cone of Uncertainty.
OMB Control Number: 0648–NEW.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(request for new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,406.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes per response.
Burden Hours: 468.5 hours (1,406 × 20
= 28,120/60 = 468.5).
Needs and Uses: The NOAA National
Weather Service (NWS) National
Hurricane Center (NHC) produces
tropical cyclone text and graphical
products to provide critical information
about meteorological parameters of
tropical storms and hurricanes that
could threaten the United States and
other countries. While NOAA has a
good understanding of how many of its
core partners (i.e., emergency
management personnel and broadcast
meteorologists/members of the media)
use these graphics, it is interested in
how other professionals within key
sectors (i.e., transportation, marine,
tourism, energy) and international users
perceive these products and use them in
decision-making. In particular, NOAA is
interested in input on the NHC Track
Forecast Cone (often referred to as the
Cone of Uncertainty). In addition to
appearing on NHC’s website, the Cone
is widely disseminated on social media,
online (e.g., local and national news
websites), and on television—with
broadcast meteorologists and private
weather industry often making their
own version of the graphic.
This request is for a web-based survey
to collect data about the interpretation
and use of the Cone of Uncertainty in
the decision-making of key sectors that
are at significant risk during a
hurricane: energy/utilities, tourism,
transportation, and marine. NOAA will
use the data from the survey to
determine how embedded the Cone of
Uncertainty is in these key stakeholders’
decision-making, as well as to
determine what those decisions and
implications look like (life and safety,
loss reduction, other). It is vitally
important for the NHC to understand
this information before making any
changes to the Cone graphic (e.g.,
visualization changes with the intent of
improving understanding).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
