Download as PDF 31482 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 112 / Monday, June 14, 2021 / Notices shipboard observers, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) who are on the ocean regularly, as well as numerous experts on marine debris observations at sea. The Shipboard Observation Form for Floating Marine Debris was created based on methods used in studies of floating marine debris by established researchers, previous shipboard observational studies conducted at sea by NOAA, and the experience and input of recreational sailors. The goal of this form is to be able to report the amount and types of visible, floating marine debris within an area of a water body of a known size. Additionally, this form will help collect data on floating marine debris that could result from future severe marine debris generating events in order to model the movement of the debris as well as prepare (as needed) for debris arrival. This form can be used to collect data on floating marine debris in any water body. Affected Public: Individuals or households; not-for profit institutions; business or other for-profit organizations. Frequency: Once per year. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.). This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/ public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function and entering either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number 0648–0644.

Average Hours per Response: 0.5 hours for fee collection reports; 4 hours for buyback annual reports. Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,020. Needs and Uses: Many U.S. fisheries have excess fishing capacity. Excess fishing capacity decreases earnings, complicates management, and imperils conservation. To provide for fishing capacity reduction programs, in 1996 Congress amended the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by adding section 312(b)–(e) (16 U.S.C. 1861a(b)–(e)). The framework regulations to conduct these reduction programs were published as an interim final rule on May 18, 2000 (65 FR E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM 14JNN1
