Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on May 6, 2022 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. Title: Florida Fishing and Boating Survey. OMB Control Number: 0648–0769. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission (revision and extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 3,120. Average Hours per Response: 0.05 hours (3 minutes). Total Annual Burden Hours: 156. Needs and Uses: This request is for an extension and revision of a currently approved information collection and is sponsored by NOAA’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC). The objective of the data collection effort under OMB Control Number 0648–0769 is to understand how anglers and boaters respond to changes in trip costs and/or fishing regulations in Florida (both in waters of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Ocean). This will improve the analysis of the economic effects of proposed changes in fishing regulations and changes in economic factors that affect the cost of fishing and boating such as fuel prices. The survey will be used to develop predictive models that forecast how fishing and boating effort changes when either trip costs change or when fishing regulations (season length or bag limits) change. The survey will ask about the number of trips anglers take under current costs and regulations and anticipated number of trips when costs and/or regulations change. The population to be surveyed consists of anglers and boat owners with a license to fish in the Gulf of Mexico or South Atlantic from Florida. The sample will be drawn from a list of licensed Florida anglers and registered Florida boat owners. Anglers/boat owners will be emailed an invitation to the online survey that directs them to a website to complete the survey. Changes proposed to the collection include the addition of respondents on the Atlantic Coast of Florida, adapting the survey to ask about all federally managed fish in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, and removing the mail component and financial incentives of the survey. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: Twice per calendar year. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This request is for extension, with no changes, to a currently approved information collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collects vessel license, vessel registration, catch, and unloading information from operators of U.S. purse seine vessels fishing under the provisions of the Treaty on Fisheries between the Governments of Certain Pacific Island States and the Government of the United States of America (Treaty). The Treaty provides access for U.S. purse seine vessels to fish in the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of Pacific Island Parties to the Treaty (PIPs). The PIPs include Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. This collection of information is required to meet U.S. obligations under the Treaty. The South Pacific Tuna Act of 1988 (16 U.S.C. 973–973r) and U.S. implementing regulations (50 CFR part 300, subpart D) authorize the collection of information from U.S. purse seine vessels fishing in the EEZs of PIPs under the Treaty. Vessel operators must submit annual vessel license and registration (including registration of vessel monitoring system (VMS) units) applications and periodic written reports of catch and unloading of fish from licensed vessels. They are also required to ensure the continued operation of VMS units on board licensed vessels, which is expected to require periodic maintenance of the units. The information collected is submitted to the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) through the U.S. government, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The license and registration application information is used by the FFA to determine the operational capability and financial responsibility of a vessel operator interested in fishing under the Treaty. Information obtained from vessel catch PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54481 and unloading reports is used by the FFA to assess fishing effort and fishery resources in the region and to track the amount of fish caught within each PIP’s EEZ. Maintenance of VMS units is needed to ensure the continuous operation of the VMS units, which, as part of the VMS administered by the FFA, are used as an enforcement tool. If the information is not collected, the U.S. government will not meet its obligations under the Treaty, and the lack of fishing information will result in poor management of the fishery resources. II. Method of Collection All information will be submitted in hard copy via mail or through electronic reporting. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0218. Form Number(s): None. Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 21. Estimated Time per Response: License application, 1 hour; VMS registration application, 45 minutes; catch report, 1 hour; unloading logsheet, 30 minutes, expression of interest, 2 hours and renewal, 15 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 207. Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $76,706 in recordkeeping/ reporting costs. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 973–973r. IV. Request for Comments We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR.
