SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for the extension of a
current information collection.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
Regulations at 50 CFR 648.8 and § 697.8
require that owners of vessels over 25 ft
(7.6 m) in registered length that have
federal permits to fish in the Greater
Atlantic Region display the vessel’s
name and official number. The name
and number must be of a specific size
at specified locations: the vessel name
must be affixed to the port and starboard
sides of the bow and, if possible, on its
stern. The official number must be
displayed on the port and starboard
sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on
an appropriate weather deck so as to be
clearly visible from enforcement vessels
and aircraft. The success of fisheries
management programs depends upon
regulatory compliance. The vessel
identification requirement, which is
required of all federally permitted
fishing vessels in the Greater Atlantic
region, is essential to facilitate
enforcement. The ability to link fishing
or other activities to a vessel owner or
operator is crucial to the enforcement of
regulations issued under the authority
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries
Conservation and Management Act.
When this information is clearly
displayed, it enables enforcement
personnel to easily identify Federal
permit holders while engaged in fishing.
II. Method of Collection
No information is submitted to NMFS
as a result of this collection. The
vessel’s identification information must
be affixed to the vessel in the designated
locations, as specified in the
regulations.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0350.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,935.
Estimated Time per Response: 45
minutes (.75 hours) to affix vessel
information to the required locations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,952
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $59,025.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: 50 CFR 648.8.
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. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA

national program of ocean exploration.
The OEAB advises NOAA leadership on

In addition to advising NOAA
leadership, NOAA expects the OEAB to
help to define and develop a national
program of ocean exploration—a
network of stakeholders and
partnerships advancing national
priorities for ocean exploration.
Matters To Be Considered: The OEAB
will discuss finalizing recommendations
they have been developing on ways to
take ocean exploration to new heights
with emphasis on need for creativity,
challenging existing thinking, and
pushing boundaries within the ocean
exploration field. The board will discuss
and deliberate on these topics. The
agenda and other meeting materials will
be made available on the OEAB website
at https://oeab.noaa.gov/.
Status: The meeting will be open to
the public via remote access. Please
check the agenda on the OEAB website

each individual or group making a
verbal presentation will be limited to
three minutes. The Designated Federal
Officer must receive written comments
