Permits Under the Endangered
Species Act
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 April 21,
2021 (86 FR 20661) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &

Title: Application and Reports for
Scientific Research and Enhancement
Permits Under the Endangered Species
Act.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0402.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a currently
approved collection).
Number of Respondents: 175 per year.
Average Hours per Response: 12
hours for permit applications; six hours
for permit modification requests 6; two
hours for annual reports.

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).

Jkt 253001
Total Annual Burden Hours: 810.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The Endangered Species Act of 1973
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) imposed
prohibitions against the taking of
endangered species. Section 10 of the
ESA allows permits authorizing the
taking of endangered species for
research/enhancement purposes. The
corresponding regulations established
procedures for persons to apply for such
permits. In addition, the regulations set
forth specific reporting requirements for
such permit holders. The regulations
contain two sets of information
collections: (1) Applications for
research/enhancement permits, and (2)
reporting requirements for issued
permits.
The required information is used to
evaluate the impacts of the proposed
activity on endangered species, to make
the determinations required by the ESA
prior to issuing a permit, and to
establish appropriate permit conditions.
To issue permits under ESA Section
10(a)(1)(A), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) must
determine that (1) such exceptions were
applied for in good faith, (2) if granted
and exercised, will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species, and (3) will be consistent with
the purposes and policy set forth in
Section 2 of the ESA.
The currently approved application
and reporting requirements apply to
Pacific marine and anadromous fish
species, as requirements regarding other
species are being addressed in a
separate information collection. There is
one administrative revision requested to
the collection itself: NMFS will no
longer require ‘‘final’’ permit reports;
the reports will simply be considered
annual reports that are submitted at the
end of a permit’s life span.
Affected Public: Federal government;
State, local, or tribal governments;
business or other for-profit
organizations, educational institutions.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: The Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.).

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries
Service (NOAA Fisheries) proposes to
revise and extend a currently approved
information collection designed to
assess the extent of hook and line
interactions between recreational
anglers on piers and other shore-based
fishing locations and sea turtles. The
collection comprises an Angler Intercept
Survey, a Fishing Site Characterization
Form, a Survey Cover Sheet, and a Sea
Turtle Incidental Capture Form. The
Angler Intercept Survey will be verbally
administered on piers and shore-based
fishing locations within NOAA
Fisheries Greater Atlantic Region and
Southeast Region, and will be
administered to approximately 20,000
individual recreational fishermen. The
respondents will be verbally asked a
series of questions about their fishing
practices and observations of sea turtles
and the interviewer will record their
answers. The survey will also assess the
feasibility of an intercept survey for this
purpose in terms of response rates and
data collection. The Fishing Site
Characterization Form will be
completed by the survey administrator
at each fishing location and collects
information on the structure and
operation of the pier or shore-based
fishing location. The Site
Characterization Sheet will be
completed by the survey administrator
during each survey period and collects
information on the environmental
conditions for that particular day, the
number of anglers fishing, number of
lines in the water, and the number of
surveys completed. Sea Turtle
Incidental Capture Form will be filled
out by a Sea Turtle Stranding and
Salvage Network participant when a
turtle is incidentally captured,
regardless of if the capture occurs
during a specific survey period, and
collects information on the specific
interaction with fishing gear. This
information is necessary to compare to
the angler survey data, to identify if
certain factors or fishing practices
influence the rate of interactions. In this
extension, minor revisions will be made
to the Sea Turtle Incidental Capture
Form to eliminate duplication with
other sea turtle stranding data collection
efforts.
II. Method of Collection
The survey will be implemented
through verbal interviews.

hazards. Furthermore, NOAA lacks this
type of data longitudinally (i.e.,
collected over time). Without this type
