Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Western Pacific Community Development Program Process

    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 March 2, 2021 (86 FR 12178) during a 60-day comment 
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments.
    Agency: NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Commerce.
    Title: Western Pacific Community Development Process.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0612.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved collection).
    Number of Respondents: 5.
    Average Hours per Response: 6 hours.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 30 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and 
the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) established 
the western Pacific community development program to promote the 
participation of western Pacific communities in fisheries that they 
have traditionally depended upon, but in which they may not have the 
capabilities to support continued and substantial participation, 
possibly due to economic, regulatory, or other barriers. To be eligible 
to participate in the western Pacific community development program, a 
community must meet the criteria set forth in 50 CFR part 665.20, and 
submit a community development plan that describes the purposes and 
goals of the plan, the justification for proposed fishing activities, 
and the degree of involvement by the indigenous community members, 
including contact information. This collection of information is needed 
to determine whether communities submitting a proposal are eligible for 
participation in the community development program, and whether the 
activities proposed under the plan are consistent with the intent of 
the program, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable laws.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations; and Not-for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: As required.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: 50 CFR 665.
