Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,200. Needs and Uses: This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. NOAA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are working to improve the technology systems, data, and services that provide information about 3D elevation data and related applications within the United States. By continuing to learn about business uses and associated benefits that would be realized from improved elevation data, the agencies can more effectively prioritize and direct investments that will best serve user needs. The 3D Nation Elevation Data Requirements and Benefits Study (‘‘3D Nation Study’’) is part of the continuing effort to develop and refine future program alternatives that would provide enhanced 3D data to meet many Federal, State, and other national business needs. The 3D Nation Study seeks to understand needs for 3D elevation data in terms of missioncritical activities, geographic extents of data needs, accuracy requirements, frequency needed, and anticipated benefits of having the required data. In 2022, NOAA and the USGS completed the first 3D Nation Study assessing requirements and benefits of topographic (terrestrial elevation) and bathymetric (water depth) data in inland, nearshore, and offshore geographies. The 3D Nation Study consisted of a standardized questionnaire covering a wide range of business uses that depend on elevation data to inform policy, regulation, scientific research, and management decisions. Input was gathered from a variety of government entities (e.g., Federal, State, local, Tribal) as well as not-for-profit, academic, and private/ commercial users of elevation data. Collected responses were aggregated at the agency, organization, State and national levels. Responses associated with individuals were not distributed. Responses were one-time and voluntary. In-person interviews to clarify questionnaire results were arranged on a case-by-case basis. NOAA and USGS are now analyzing respondent data from the first 3D Nation Study. The report and appendices of questionnaire and other report-related sections are available at the 3D Nation Study site (https://3dnation.iocm. noaa.gov/) and via NOAA’s Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping Program page (https://iocm.noaa.gov/planning/ 3DNationStudy.html). The findings are being used to update a baseline of national business needs and associated benefits for 3D data and associated technologies.

It is intended to inform the design of directed future programs that balance requirements, benefits, and costs at a national scale. NOAA and USGS plan to revisit national elevation data needs to assess changes to the 3D Nation Study baseline in or after 2026, which is why NOAA and USGS are seeking to extend the expiration date of this currently approved ICR. The survey tool for the future 3D Nation Study collection will likely include a subset of questions from the original questionnaire because the 2022 3D Nation Study provides a sufficient foundation to minimize questions in a number of study areas. Prior to conducting the next round of surveys, NOAA will submit a request for questionnaire revision to OMB based on analysis of the baseline survey.

Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,571. Needs and Uses: This request would extend an approved information collection regarding Greater Atlantic Region fishing gear marking requirements. There are no changes to the gear marking requirements in this collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) is responsible for the conservation and management of marine fishery resources. The Secretary has delegated much of this responsibility to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The Magnuson-Stevens Act gives the Secretary and NOAA certain regulatory authorities to ensure the most beneficial uses of marine fishery resources. One of the regulatory PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 steps taken to carry out the conservation and management objectives is to collect data from users of the resource. Regulations at 50 CFR 648.84(a),(b), and (d), 648.125(b)(3), 648.144(b)(1), 648.264(a)(5), and 697.21(a) and (b) require Federal permit holders using certain types of fishing gear to mark the gear with information necessary to identify the vessel and gear (e.g., hull identification number, Federal fishing vessel permit number). The regulations also specify gear marking requirements for visibility (e.g., buoys, radar reflectors). These gear marking requirements aid in fishery law enforcement, support safe navigation by increasing gear visibility, and help prevent gear conflicts by providing gear type information to other fisherman. The number of end lines associated with each string of hooks, pots, or traps determine the quantity of gear in this collection. A single Federal permit holder may be responsible for marking several strings of a given gear type and may use multiple gear types that require marking. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: Annual. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: 50 CFR 648.84(a), (b), and (d), 648.125(b)(3), 648.144(b)(1), 648.264(a)(5), and 697.21(a) and (b). This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
