Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 43320 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 129 / Friday, July 7, 2023 / Notices should be engaged in NOAA’s work. This includes the aspects of Traditional Knowledge (TK) outside those which are strictly considered ‘ecological,’ understanding the interlinkages between the ‘ecological’ and ‘other’ aspects of TK, and crucially important forms of Indigenous Knowledge other than TK. Response: NOAA appreciates the views expressed in this comment, and notes that the terminology of the IK Guidance has been revised from TEK to IK in the final document, in part, to address considerations noted in this comment. Comment 33: We encourage NOAA to look at the work on Knowledge Sovereignty and Indigenization in which the tribe has been engaged. Response: NOAA appreciates the recommendation provided in this comment. Discussion of knowledge sovereignty has been added to the Principles section of the IK Guidance. Comment 34: We encourage NOAA to work with tribes via a co-productive framework as pertains to knowledgerelated, as well as other (e.g., policy), activities. Response: Accepted. Discussion of knowledge sovereignty has been added to the Principles section of the IK Guidance. NOAA has also added the following text to the Guidance section: ‘‘NOAA staff should consider ways to co-develop and include IK for decisionmaking through multiple programs and approaches.’’ Comment 35: Commenter emphasizes that ‘‘it may be inappropriate to suggest that TEK should be ‘validated,’ ’’ and, ‘‘rather, indigenous peoples’ own internal methods of defining, valuing, and validating their own knowledge/ knowledge systems should be respected.’’ See NOAA Handbook (Section IV) regarding the unnecessary validation of TEK by Western science. Response: Accepted. In the Guidance section of the IK Guidance, NOAA states: ‘‘Depending on the situation, it may be inappropriate to suggest that IK should be ‘‘validated’’. Rather, Indigenous Peoples’ own internal methods of defining, valuing, and validating their own knowledge/ knowledge systems should be respected and trusted.’’ Comment 36: TEK holders and communities have the right to review documents that include their TEK as well as the right to redact, remove, or reject how their TEK is included. Commenter requests that NOAA add a section in the TEK Guidance explicitly guiding NOAA Fisheries and NOS to let TEK holders and communities review the TEK collected and how it is VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Jul 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 included in the work and research of NOAA Fisheries and NOS before it is used or distributed. Response: NOAA appreciates the views expressed in this comment and has added to the Best Practices for Identifying and Considering IK section in the IK Guidance the following addition: ‘‘NOAA should work to share and archive any data collected in cooperation with IK holder(s) and communities. IK holder(s) and communities should review NOAA products that include IK before publication. Any confidential or proprietary data that has been provided for public release solely in the aggregate form must not be shared in disaggregated form—except under any legal requirement (e.g., Freedom of Information Act) and never without prior notification of the provider of that particular IK.’’ NOAA also notes that the applicability of the IK Guidance now extends to all of NOAA. Comment 37: Our only suggestion is to follow the lead of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) which recently released a Memorandum for the Heads of Departments and Agencies on the subject of Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Federal Decision Making. Not only in substance, but also including the use of Indigenous Knowledge and/or Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge, instead of the archaic ambiguous term TEK, both of which are a more accurate descriptor of the body of knowledge we are all referring to. Response: Accepted. As noted above, the NOAA IK Guidance now uses the term ‘‘Indigenous Knowledge’’ in lieu of TEK. Richard W. Spinrad, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, NOAA Administrator, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
