I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information.
The data collection is sponsored by
DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Analyze, Forecast, and Support
Office (AFS), National Fire Weather
Program. Under the Disaster Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act of
2022, Congress charged NOAA/NWS to
improve (a) Hurricane intensity and
track forecasting, including through
deployment of unmanned ocean
observing platforms and enhanced data
assimilation; (b) precipitation and flood
prediction, forecasting, and mitigation
capabilities; and (c) wildfire research,
prediction, detection, forecasting,
monitoring, data management, and
communication and engagement. Based
on this directive, the NWS is conducting
this project to improve decision support
services for fire weather products and
services. By using social science
methods and risk communication
expertise, the NWS seeks to identify
how probabilistic weather information
can most effectively influence firerelated decision-making to protect lives
and property and enhance the economy.
This data collection will include an online survey and virtual focus groups.
The survey sample will be a nonrepresentative panel that will draw
primarily from the Western, Southern
Plains, and Southeastern portions of the
United States. The focus groups will be
conducted with Public Information
Officers and Fire Weather Practitioners
at the national, regional, state, and local
levels based on contacts known to the
NWS. The insights and findings derived
from this data collection will be used to
develop Impact Decision Support
Services’ products and messages.
II. Method of Collection
Both the survey and the focus groups
will be conducted electronically via
video conferencing technology based on
schedules and participant preference.

Additional Information and Public
Comments
The New England Fishery
Management Council (Council) is
conducting six scoping meetings to
solicit comments regarding the rang of
alternatives to consider in Amendment
10 (A10) to the Atlantic Herring Fishery
Management Plan to consider actions
affecting New England fisheries in the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The
Council is proposing to take action
through A10 to address spatial and
temporal allocation and management of
Atlantic herring at the management unit
level to minimize user conflicts,
contribute to optimum yield and
support rebuilding of the resource. The
Council is also proposing to take action
to enhance river herring (alewife and
blueback herring) and shad (American
shad and hickory shad) avoidance and
other catch reduction measures to better
support ongoing coastwide restoration
efforts for those species. The Council is
scheduling the scoping meetings in
accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and the National Environmental
Policy Act. A summary of public
comments received will be provided to
the Council for formal consideration
and action, if appropriate.
DATES: These meetings and webinars
will be held between the dates of
Friday, March 1, 2024 and Monday,
April 22, 2024. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION for more details on specific
dates and times.
