The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on November
23, 2020 (85 FR 74694) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.

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 observers find themselves
in 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 which 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
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: Federal Government.
