SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR
95 Atlantic Migratory Cobia Data
Scoping Webinar are as follows: Discuss
available data resources, points of
contact, data delivery deadlines, and
any known data issues.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come

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
public and other Federal agencies to
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 December 4,
2023, 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: Alaska Prohibited Species
Donation Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0316.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: One.

Average Hours per Response:
Application to be a NMFS Authorized
Distributor: 50 hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 17
hours.
Needs and Uses: The Prohibited
Species Donation (PSD) Program for
salmon and halibut has effectively
reduced regulatory discard of salmon
and halibut by allowing fish that would
otherwise be discarded to be donated to
needy individuals through tax-exempt
organizations. Vessels and processing
plants participating in the PSD Program
voluntarily retain and process salmon
and halibut bycatch. An authorized, tax
exempt distributor, chosen by the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), is responsible for monitoring
retention and processing of fish donated
by vessels and processors. The
authorized distributor also coordinates
processing, storage, transportation, and
distribution of salmon and halibut. The
PSD Program requires an information
collection so that NMFS can monitor the
authorized distributors’ ability to
effectively supervise program
participants and ensure that donated
fish are properly processed, stored, and
distributed.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: Every three years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
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

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
