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 February 21,
2024 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.

Number of Respondents: 80.

Needs and Uses: This is a request for
a new collection of information. Alaska

Opportunity Area (AOA) under NOAA

Fisheries to determine geographic areas
that are environmentally, socially, and
economically suitable to support
commercial aquaculture operations. The
purpose of this data collection is to
gather economic data from current
growers that hold an Aquatic Farming
permit under the Alaska Department of
Fish & Game to establish a benchmark
economic report that presents economic
measures (profitability, breakeven price,
etc.) and operations (average stocking
density, kelp line depth and separation,
etc.) spatially.
The data collected from this survey
will be used by NOAA economists to
generate a benchmark report that states
spatial economic information, internal
reports on the spatial economic
suitability of an Alaskan mariculture
operation, and external publications on
the financial and environmental risks.
These reports will be published on
NOAA’s website and be publicly
accessible for stakeholders, researchers,
and other members of the public.
Stakeholders (current and prospective
growers) are requesting economic
information to help secure small
business loans to establish new growing
operations and expand current
production and describe the economics
of opening and operating a mariculture
farm in Alaska. Additionally, the
economic data provided from this
collection will help determine the
spatial economic suitability requested
from the AOA project. NOAA will use
the information provided in the survey
to generate a bio economic model that
can be simulated under various
financial and environmental scenarios.
Examples of financial and
environmental scenarios include the
impact to profitability from subsidies for
reductions in seed costs, price floors,
and reduced transportation costs from a
new production facility and impact to
growth and mortality rates from
increasing surface water temperatures,
dissolved oxygen (DO), and other water
parameters and other environmental
events such as harmful algae blooms
(HAB) or severe storms.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions; Farms.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
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
