Board is authorized by section
9204(b)(5) of the William M. (Mac)
Thornberry National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021
(Pub. L. 116–283) and advises the IoT
Federal Working Group convened by the
Secretary of Commerce pursuant to
section 9204(b)(1) of the Act on matters
related to the Federal Working Group’s
activities. Details regarding the IoT
Advisory Board’s activities are available
at https://www.nist.gov/itl/appliedcybersecurity/nist-cybersecurity-iotprogram/internet-things-advisory-board.
The agendas for the August and
September meetings are expected to
focus on establishing consensus on the
recommendations to be included in the
IoT Advisory Board’s report for the IoT
Federal Working Group.
The recommendations and
discussions are expected to focus on the
specific focus areas for the report cited
in the legislation and the charter:
• Smart traffic and transit
technologies.
• Augmented logistics and supply
chains.
• Sustainable infrastructure.
• Precision agriculture.
• Environmental monitoring.
• Public safety.
• Health care.
In addition, the IoT Advisory Board
may discuss other elements that the
legislation called for in the report:
• whether adequate spectrum is
available to support the growing
Internet of Things and what legal or
regulatory barriers may exist to
providing any spectrum needed in the
future;
• policies, programs, or multistakeholder activities that—
Æ promote or are related to the
privacy of individuals who use or are
affected by the Internet of Things;
Æ may enhance the security of the
Internet of Things, including the
security of critical infrastructure;
Æ may protect users of the Internet of
Things; and
Æ may encourage coordination among
Federal agencies with jurisdiction over
the Internet of Things.

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

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 11,
2023 (88 FR 21628) 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: Marine Recreational Information
Program, Fishing Effort Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0652.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(revision of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 183,333.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 15,278.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
revision and extension of an approved
information collection. The request
includes a new pilot study to test a
shorter reference period that will
increase the utility of survey data and
estimates for fisheries managers and
stock assessment scientists by providing
greater resolution and more timely
access to survey products. Additionally,
the Reporting Sensitivity Experiment
survey has been completed and that
collection will be removed from this
control number.
Marine recreational anglers are
surveyed to collect catch and effort data,
fish biology data, and angler
socioeconomic characteristics. These
data are required to carry out provisions
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended,
regarding conservation and management
of fishery resources.
Marine recreational fishing catch and
effort data are collected through a
combination of mail surveys, telephone
surveys, and on-site intercept surveys
with recreational anglers. The Marine
Recreational Information Program
(MRIP) Fishing Effort Survey (FES) is a
self-administered, household mail
survey that samples from a residential
address frame to collect data on the
number of recreational anglers and the
number of recreational fishing trips. The
survey estimates marine recreational
fishing activity for all coastal states from
Maine through Mississippi, as well as
Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Currently,
MRIP produces estimates for two-month
reference waves. The proposed
collection will include experimental
work to evaluate shorter reference
E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM
29JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 124 / Thursday, June 29, 2023 / Notices
periods that would more fully support
fisheries management and stock
assessment needs.
FES estimates are combined with
estimates derived from complementary
surveys of fishing trips, the AccessPoint Angler Intercept Survey, to
estimate total, state-level fishing catch,
by species. These estimates are used in
the development, implementation, and
monitoring of fishery management
programs by NOAA Fisheries, regional
fishery management councils, interstate
marine fisheries commissions, and state
fishery agencies.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
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/
