In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) sections 552a(e)(4) and (11); and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Appendix I, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' the Department of Commerce is issuing a notice of intent to establish a new system of records entitled, ``COMMERCE/NOAA-22, NOAA Health Services Questionnaire and Tuberculosis Screening Document.'' We invite the public to comment on the items noted in this publication. The purpose of this system of records is to document information related to medical clearance, which is required for all persons sailing on Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) vessels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Health Services is responsible for medically evaluating and providing clearance for persons who will be sailing on these vessels. The completed NHSQ and TSD provide specific and select medical information on individuals who wish to embark on OMAO vessels and need medical clearance. The completed forms also contain personal identifiable information that is required to be protected by the Privacy Act.

This proposed rule would revise scale requirements for processing vessels that are required to weigh fish at sea, i.e. mothership and catcher/processor vessels, and Shorebased Individual Fishery Quota Program (IFQ) first receivers. For motherships and catcher/processors that weigh fish at sea, the proposed action would require the use of updated scale technology, require enhanced daily scale testing for flow scales (also known as belt scales), and require the use of video to monitor the flow scale and the area around the flow scale. For Shorebased IFQ first receivers, the proposed action would add criteria for inseason flow scale tests. In addition, the action includes housekeeping changes that are intended to better align the regulations with defined terms, and to provide clarity and consistency between paragraphs. Action is needed to provide precise and accurate catch estimates and to reduce the likelihood that vessels will under report harvests.
