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;
Notification of Request for an Emergency Clearance; National Marine
Fisheries Service, Office of Law Enforcement Cooperative Enforcement
Program Partner Survey of Need (FY2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act
Report)
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance utilizing emergency review procedures in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the
date of publication of this notice. This Notice proposes the emergency/
expedited clearance to collect information regarding cooperative
enforcement agreements with partner state and territorial law
enforcement agencies as required by the recently issued the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. NOAA requests emergency
processing and OMB authorization to collect the information after
publication of this Notice for a period of six (6) months.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: National Marine Fisheries Service, Office of Law Enforcement
Cooperative Enforcement Program Partner Survey of Need.
OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Emergency submission, New Information Collection
Request.
Number of Respondents: 29.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours.
Burden Hours: 58.
Needs and Uses: NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) is sponsoring this congressionally
mandated information collection. The information is collected under the
authority of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 (117th
Congress (221-2022)).
The purpose of the collection is to acquire, analyze, and report on
detailed information about the OLE's Cooperative Enforcement Program
(CEP) partner agencies' needs, as directed by Congress. The information
will be collected from OLE's twenty-nine (29) Cooperative Enforcement
Program partner agencies and will ask questions related to shortages of
trained personnel, maintaining maritime domain awareness, formal
operational agreements with other Federal law enforcement agencies, and
access to advanced technological enforcement tools, as directed by
Congress. The partner agencies are located in twenty-eight (28) states
and territories: Alaska, Alabama, American Samoa, California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam (two agencies), Hawaii,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Northern Mariana
Islands, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon,
Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Virgin
Islands, Washington.
The information will be used to supply Congress with a detailed
report describing the needs expressed by the Office of Law
Enforcement's Cooperative Enforcement Program partner agencies. This is
a unique one-time only collection of information from Office of Law
Enforcement's Cooperative Enforcement Program partner agencies as
directed by Congress.
As provided under 5 CFR 1320.13, NOAA is requesting emergency
processing for cooperative enforcement program data. NOAA cannot
reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures since the use of
normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause a
congressionally mandated deadline to be missed. As required by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, NOAA is expected to submit a
report to Congress no less than 180 days after enactment of the Act.
Therefore, NOAA is requesting OMB approval as soon as possible (i.e., 5
business days after publication of this Notice) for this collection of
information.
Affected Public: State and territorial government natural resource
law enforcement agencies who are members of Office of Law Enforcement's
Cooperative Enforcement Program.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
