SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and extension of a current information
collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Fisheries Service annually collects information from seafood and
industrial fishing processing plants on the volume and value of their
processed fishery products and their monthly employment figures. NOAA
also collects monthly production volume of fish meal, oil, and
solubles. The information gathered is used by NOAA
[[Page 48195]]
in the economic and social analyses developed when proposing and
evaluating fishery management actions. The data are also used in annual
reports such as Fisheries of the United States and is provided to other
agencies, academia, and industry members as needed and allowed through
the Magnuson Stevens Act.
This year, we are proposing to modify the survey to allow
respondents to mark themselves as more than one type of operation
(i.e., Processor, wholesaler, cold storage, and/or other) and we are
asking them to specify the number of processing line workers they have,
if they are a processor.
II. Method of Collection
Responses are submitted by mail, via postage-paid envelopes
provided by NOAA Fisheries. If preferred by the processor, an
electronically fillable pdf can also be provided and transmitted via
encrypted messaging. Lastly, as an alternative option, interested
processors can request an online account to our Fisheries One Stop Shop
(FOSS) portal and enter and submit data electronically.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648-0018.
Form Number(s): NOAA Forms 88-13, 88-13C.
Type of Review: Regular submission, revision of a current
information collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 620.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 310 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department/Bureau
to: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of the Department, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the accuracy
of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed
collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (c) Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (d) Minimize the reporting burden
on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you may ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
