DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Western Pacific Community Development Program Process.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0612.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection).
Number of Respondents: 5.
Average Hours per Response: 6 hours.
Burden Hours: 30.
Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a
currently approved information collection.
The Federal regulations at 50 CFR part 665 authorize the Regional
Administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific
Island Region to provide eligible western Pacific communities with
access to fisheries that they have traditionally depended upon, but 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 provides NMFS and the Western
Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) with data to determine
whether a community that submits a community development plan meets the
regulatory requirements for participation in the program, and whether
the activities proposed under the plan are consistent with the intent
of the program, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, and other applicable laws. The information is also
important for evaluating potential impacts of the proposed community
development plan activities on fish stocks, endangered species, marine
mammals, and other components of the affected environment for the
purposes of compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the
Endangered Species Act and other applicable laws.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations;
individuals or households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
Dated: May 19, 2015.
