sexual assault/sexual harassment
(SASH) response and/or reporting
process and comply with procedures set
up to effectively manage National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Workplace
Violence Prevention and Response
(WVPR). Under 33 U.S.C. 894, NOAA is
required to establish a mechanism by
which sexual assault and sexual
harassment can be reported on a
Restricted and Unrestricted basis.
Further, Congress directs NOAA to
reference Department of Defense (DoD)
policy and procedures in the standup of
our SASH response program. WVPR
requires various Intake forms to
document a victim’s election of a
Restricted or Unrestricted Report of
sexual assault or sexual harassment, as
well as document that the details of
each reporting option have been
properly communicated with the victim.
WVPR has modeled its forms after the
DoD sexual assault/sexual harassment
forms in accordance with guidance by
Congress. NOAA may also use this
collection to survey federal employees,
contractors, affiliates, interns,
volunteers, or other individuals who
work in or visit NOAA-occupied
facilities, vessels, or aircraft to
determine their perceptions of incidents
of SASH, pursuant to NOAA
Administrative Order (NAO) 202–1106,
Section 5.01e.
II. Method of Collection
Information on this form will be
collected using a paper format or
electronically and requires the victim’s
signature either by ink pen or CAC.

collection).
Number of Respondents: 2.
Average Hours per Response:
Subsistence harvest and hunt reports

Needs and Uses: The subsistence use
of northern fur seals is cooperatively
managed by the National Oceanic and

National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the Tribal Governments of
St. Paul and St. George Islands under
§ 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1388 (MMPA) and
governed by regulations found in 50
CFR part 216 subpart F, Taking for
Subsistence Purposes under the Fur
Seal Act (16 U.S.C. 1155). The
regulations, laws, and cooperative
agreements are focused on conserving
northern fur seals through cooperative
effort and consultation regarding
effective management of human
activities related to the subsistence
harvests of northern fur seals and Steller
sea lions. In 2014, NMFS obtained a
collection of information control
number (79 FR 65327; November 4,
2014), reviewed the control number in
2017 (82 FR 51218; November 3, 2017),

Alaska (Pribilof Islands) under 50 CFR

established regulations regarding the
maximum levels for the annual
subsistence needs of the Pribilovians
after direct consultation with the Tribal
Governments of St. Paul and St. George
Islands in Alaska and their respective
local Native corporations (Tanadgusix
and Tanaq). NMFS regulation creates

fur seals, monitoring and reporting
through co-management processes
established under their respective
cooperative agreements. The regulations
at 50 CFR 216.72 state that Pribilovians
are responsible for reporting their
subsistence needs and actual level of
subsistence take. NMFS receives
electronic copies of the northern fur seal
subsistence use reports from the tribal
governments of St. Paul and St. George
annually. NMFS subsequently posts
these reports online (https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/marinemammal-protection/northern-fur-sealsubsistence-harvest-estimates-andreports) and includes the relevant data
in the annual Alaska Marine Mammal
Stock Assessment Report. The only
change requested is the changing of the
title of the information collection to

Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,571.
Needs and Uses: Pursuant to E.O.
14057 (Executive Order on Catalyzing

Outer Continental Shelf Land Act, the
National Environmental Policy Act, and
the Coastal Zone Management Act, this

coast of Oregon) and include focus
groups, which will help guide any
revisions necessary to the survey
instrument.
The BOEM Pacific OCS Region has an
active Renewable Energy Program and is
currently processing wind and wave
energy lease requests. Due to the
relatively steep continental slope and
deep water off the West Coast, different

types of offshore renewable energy
technologies have been proposed for the
Pacific Region than for the Atlantic
Region. Outside of official public
engagement forums, preferences about
offshore wind energy development
generally remain unknown for members
of the public, as well as for groups who
may not perceive themselves as
stakeholders. Failure to gain the
perspective of communities regarding
potential benefits or impacts is
problematic, particularly when latent
stakeholders to local projects emerge
late in the planning process.
The National Ocean Service (NOS)
proposes to collect data on the opinions,
values, and attitudes of Oregon Coast
residents relative to offshore wind
energy development. Respondents (age
18 years and older) will be randomly
sampled from households in seven
coastal counties. This information will
be used by BOEM, NOAA, and others to
understand what is important to
communities; understand how differing
values and perceptions across
communities influence local receptivity
to proposed development; and improve
communication efforts targeted to
residents, enabling agencies to more
effectively and efficiently direct
outreach and community inclusion
activities. Additionally, NOAA has a
vested interest in offshore wind energy
development, from many perspectives,
including as it relates to the resilience,
well-being, and sustainability of coastal
communities.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: This is a one-time
information collection for this region,
although the collection may be
deployed to other regions in the future.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: NOAA’s
