DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Application Forms for Membership on a National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council
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 5, 2021 (86 FR 8343) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: Application Forms for Membership on a National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0397.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Revision and extension of a current information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 750.
Average Hours per Response: 1.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 750.
Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of this
information collection. NOAA is proposing changes to both the youth and
general advisory council applications. The specific changes can be
found in the response to Question 1 of the Supporting Statement for
this collection.
Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16
U.S.C. 1445a) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to establish one or
more advisory councils to advise and make recommendations to the
Secretary regarding the designation and management of national marine
sanctuaries. Executive Order 13178 (December 4, 2000) similarly
established a Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve Council pursuant to the NMSA
to provide advice and recommendations regarding the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. Councils are
individually chartered to meet the specific needs of a sanctuary site
or of the sanctuary system; 16 councils--15 sanctuary advisory councils
and one reserve advisory council--currently exist. Once a council has
been chartered, and as vacancies occur for existing councils, NOAA's
Office of National Marine Sanctuaries starts a process to recruit
members for that council by providing notice to the public and asking
interested parties to apply for the available seats. An application
form has been developed to help ease the application process for the
public and facilitate the review process for the ONMS director.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1445a).
