Additionally, fine grained ash, when ingested, can cause health impacts to humans and animals. The USGS will use reports entered by respondents in real time of ashfall in their local area to correct or refine ashfall forecasts as the ash cloud moves downwind. Retrospectively, these reports will enable the USGS to improve their ashfall models and further their research into eruptive processes. This project is a database module and web interface allowing the public and Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) staff to enter reports of ashfall in their local area in real time and retrospectively following an eruptive event. Users browsing the AVO website during eruptions will be directed towards a web form allowing them to fill in ashfall information and submit the information to AVO. Compiled ashfall reports are available in real-time to AVO staff through the AVO internal website. A pre-formatted summary report or table that distills information received online will show ashfall reports in chronological order with key fields including (1) date and time of ashfall, (2) location, (3) positive or negative ashfall (4) name of observer, and (5) contact information which is easily viewable internally on the report so that calls for clarification can be made by AVO staff quickly and Operations room staff can visualize ashfall information quickly. Ashfall report data will also be displayed on a dynamic map interface and show positive (yes ash) and negative (no ash) ashfall reports by location. Ashfall reports (icons) will be publicly displayed for a period of 24 hours and shaded differently as they age so that the age of reports is obvious. The ashfall report database will help AVO track eruption clouds and associated fallout downwind. These reports from the public will also give scientists a more complete record of the amount, duration, and other conditions of ashfall. Getting first-hand accounts of ashfall will support ashfall model ashfall development and interpretation of satellite imagery. AVO scientists will—as time allows—be able to contact the individuals using their entered contact information for clarification and details. Knowing the locations from which ashfall reports have been filed will improve ashfall warning messages, AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications, and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO staff will be able to condense and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Nov 03, 2022 Jkt 259001 summarize the various ashfall reports and forward that information on to emergency management agencies and the wider public. The online form will also free up resources during an eruption, a time that exceedingly busy for the USGS as most individuals currently phone AVO with their reports.

Abstract: The Coregonine Restoration Framework is a multiagency conservation plan for conducting the science and management actions to preserve the most abundant native fishes in the Great Lakes. To inform the science methodology of that framework, the USGS will survey Great Lakes fishery scientists from state, tribal, academic, and non-government institutions about the fishery-dependent or fishery-independent field surveys that their organizations conduct in the lakes and connecting channels. Examples of information to be collected about a fishery survey include geographic area, the time period covered, survey design, measurements collected, life stages of fish targeted, number of samples per year, and basic catch proportions for native coregonine (Coregonus sp.) fishes. This information is needed to recommend which types of native fish population and conservation models can be developed with existing survey data and identify necessary information not provided by contemporary surveys. The survey results will be published and inform analyses, and the resulting analyses will be presented in a white paper to contributing fishery institutions and management agencies.

ACTION: Notice of change in discount rate. AGENCY: 66745 Law 93–251 (88 Stat. 34), and 18 CFR 704.39, which: (1) specify that the rate will be based upon the average yield during the preceding fiscal year on interest-bearing marketable securities of the United States which, at the time the computation is made, have terms of 15 years or more remaining to maturity (average yield is rounded to nearest oneeighth percent); and (2) provide that the rate will not be raised or lowered more than one-quarter of 1 percent for any year. The U.S. Department of the Treasury calculated the specified average to be 2.7141 percent. In accordance with the Water Resource Council Rules and Regulations, the maximum adjustment allowed for the current fiscal year rate is one-quarter of one percentage point from the previous fiscal year rate, which was 2.25 percent. Therefore, the fiscal year 2023 rate is 2.50 percent. The rate of 2.50 percent will be used by all Federal agencies in the formulation and evaluation of water and related land resources plans for the purpose of discounting future benefits and computing costs or otherwise converting benefits and costs to a common-time basis.
