relating to this hazard. In fact, only a
small sample of tornadoes ever receive
study, and most often those are only the
largest tornadoes. No generalizable
information on tornado warning
response after real-world events exists.
The National Weather Service (NWS)
and National Severe Storms Laboratory
have designed this data collection
instrument to allow for more routine
collection of this information.
Respondents will include members of
the U.S. public who have recently
(within the previous 30 days) been in or
near a tornado, and they will be asked
questions about the ways they received,
understood, and responded to NWS
watch/warning information. The
information would be collected by NWS
forecasters using their Damage
Assessment Tool (DAT) and also by
members of the public who voluntarily
access a web tool developed by the
National Severe Storms Laboratory. The
information will be used as part of a
pilot study to explore methods for more
systematically collecting post-event data
in support of program evaluation for
NOAA’s tornado watch/warning system.
Affected Public: Individual
Households.
Frequency: Whenever a tornado
impacts an individual anywhere within
the United States of America.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 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/

an overfished condition. NMFS, on
behalf of the Secretary, notifies the
appropriate regional fishery
management council (Council)
whenever it determines that a stock or
stock complex is subject to overfishing,
overfished, or approaching an
overfished condition.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathryn Frens, (301)–427–8523.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to section 304(e)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), NMFS, on
behalf of the Secretary, must notify
Councils, and publish a notice in the
Federal Register, whenever it
determines that a stock or stock
complex is subject to overfishing,
overfished, or approaching an
overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that Gulf of
Mexico greater amberjack is now subject
to overfishing and is still overfished.
This determination is based on the most
recent assessment, completed in 2021
and using data through 2018, which
indicates that this stock is subject to
overfishing because the fishing
mortality rate was above the threshold,
and is still overfished because the
biomass is below the threshold. NMFS
has notified the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council of the requirement
to end overfishing and to rebuild this
stock.
NMFS has determined that Southern
Atlantic gag is now both subject to
overfishing and overfished, that
Southern Atlantic snowy grouper is now
subject to overfishing and is still
overfished, and that Southern Atlantic
red snapper is still both subject to
overfishing and overfished. The
determinations for gag and red snapper
are based on the most recent
assessments, completed in 2021 using
data through 2019, which indicate that
these stocks are subject to overfishing
because the fishing mortality rates are
above the respective thresholds and the
biomasses are below the respective
thresholds. The determination for
snowy grouper is based on the most
recent update assessment, completed in
2021 using data through 2018, which
indicates that the stock is subject to
overfishing because the fishing
mortality rate is above the threshold,
and is still overfished because the
biomass is below the threshold. NMFS
has notified the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council of the requirement
to end overfishing and to rebuild these
stocks.
NMFS has determined that
Northwestern Atlantic Coast ocean pout

and Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank
Atlantic wolffish are still overfished.
These determinations are based on the
most recent assessments, completed in
2020 using data through 2019, which
indicate that the stocks are overfished
because their biomasses are below the
respective thresholds. NMFS continues
to work with the New England Fishery
Management Council to rebuild these
stocks.
NMFS has determined that Klamath
River fall-run Chinook salmon, Queets
coho salmon, and Strait of Juan de Fuca
coho salmon are still overfished, and
that Hood Canal coho salmon is now
approaching an overfished condition.
These determinations are based on the
most recent assessments, completed in
2021 and using data from 2018–2020 for
Klamath River fall-run Chinook salmon,
data from 2017–2019 for Queets and
Juan de Fuca coho salmon, and data
from 2018–2019 and 2021 for Hood
Canal coho salmon. The determination
of overfished for the first three stocks is
based on the three-year geometric mean
of the annual spawning escapement for
each stock falling below its respective
overfished threshold. The determination
of approaching an overfished condition
for Hood Canal coho salmon is based on
the three-year geometric mean of the
two most recent postseason estimates of
spawning escapement (2018–2019), and
the current preseason forecast of
spawning escapement (2021), falling
below the threshold. Of these four
salmon stocks, only the Chinook stock
is domestically managed. The Council
has limited ability to control fisheries
for the three internationally-managed
coho stocks in waters outside its
jurisdiction. NMFS continues to work
with the Pacific Council to rebuild these
stocks, and has notified the Pacific
Council of the requirement to prevent
the Hood Canal coho salmon stock from
becoming overfished.
NMFS has determined that Pribilof
Island blue king crab is still overfished.
This determination is based on the most
recent assessment, completed in 2021
using data through 2021, which
indicates that the stock is overfished
because the biomass estimate remains
below its threshold. NMFS continues to
work with the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council to rebuild this
stock.

an overfished condition. NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, notifies the
appropriate regional fishery management council (Council) whenever it
determines that a stock or stock complex is subject to overfishing,
overfished, or approaching an overfished condition.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathryn Frens, (301)-427-8523.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 304(e)(2) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary,
must notify Councils, and publish a notice in the Federal Register,
whenever it determines that a stock or stock complex is subject to
overfishing, overfished, or approaching an overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that Gulf of Mexico greater amberjack is now
subject to overfishing and is still overfished. This determination is
based on the most recent assessment, completed in 2021 and using data
through 2018, which indicates that this stock is subject to overfishing
because the fishing mortality rate was above the threshold, and is
still overfished because the biomass is below the threshold. NMFS has
notified the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council of the
requirement to end overfishing and to rebuild this stock.
NMFS has determined that Southern Atlantic gag is now both subject
to overfishing and overfished, that Southern Atlantic snowy grouper is
now subject to overfishing and is still overfished, and that Southern
Atlantic red snapper is still both subject to overfishing and
overfished. The determinations for gag and red snapper are based on the
most recent assessments, completed in 2021 using data through 2019,
which indicate that these stocks are subject to overfishing because the
fishing mortality rates are above the respective thresholds and the
biomasses are below the respective thresholds. The determination for
snowy grouper is based on the most recent update assessment, completed
in 2021 using data through 2018, which indicates that the stock is
subject to overfishing because the fishing mortality rate is above the
threshold, and is still overfished because the biomass is below the
threshold. NMFS has notified the South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council of the requirement to end overfishing and to rebuild these
stocks.
NMFS has determined that Northwestern Atlantic Coast ocean pout and
Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank Atlantic wolffish are still overfished.
These determinations are based on the most recent assessments,
completed in 2020 using data through 2019, which indicate that the
stocks are overfished because their biomasses are below the respective
thresholds. NMFS continues to work with the New England Fishery
Management Council to rebuild these stocks.
NMFS has determined that Klamath River fall-run Chinook salmon,
Queets coho salmon, and Strait of Juan de Fuca coho salmon are still
overfished, and that Hood Canal coho salmon is now approaching an
overfished condition. These determinations are based on the most recent
assessments, completed in 2021 and using data from 2018-2020 for
Klamath River fall-run Chinook salmon, data from 2017-2019 for Queets
and Juan de Fuca coho salmon, and data from 2018-2019 and 2021 for Hood
Canal coho salmon. The determination of overfished for the first three
stocks is based on the three-year geometric mean of the annual spawning
escapement for each stock falling below its respective overfished
threshold. The determination of approaching an overfished condition for
Hood Canal coho salmon is based on the three-year geometric mean of the
two most recent postseason estimates of spawning escapement (2018-
2019), and the current preseason forecast of spawning escapement
(2021), falling below the threshold. Of these four salmon stocks, only
the Chinook stock is domestically managed. The Council has limited
ability to control fisheries for the three internationally-managed coho
stocks in waters outside its jurisdiction. NMFS continues to work with
the Pacific Council to rebuild these stocks, and has notified the
Pacific Council of the requirement to prevent the Hood Canal coho
salmon stock from becoming overfished.
NMFS has determined that Pribilof Island blue king crab is still
overfished. This determination is based on the most recent assessment,
completed in 2021 using data through 2021, which indicates that the
stock is overfished because the biomass estimate remains below its
threshold. NMFS continues to work with the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council to rebuild this stock.
