SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions, 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses. The product of the Assessment 

Process is a stock assessment report 

which describes the fisheries, evaluates 

the status of the stock, estimates 

biological benchmarks, projects future 

population conditions, and recommends 

research and monitoring needs. The 

assessment is independently peer 

reviewed at the Review Workshop. The 

product of the Review Workshop is a 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

Highly Migratory Species Management 

Division, and Southeast Fisheries 

Science Center. Participants include: 

data collectors and database managers; 

stock assessment scientists, biologists, 

and researchers; constituency 

representatives including fishermen, 

environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); 

international experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion at the 

Assessment Webinar III: 

• Finalize any data decisions 

remaining 

• Finalize modelling issues and 

decisions 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the intent to take final action 

to address the emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

This meeting is accessible to people 

with disabilities. Requests for auxiliary 

aids should be directed to the SAFMC 

office (see ADDRESSES) at least 5 

business days prior to the meeting. 

Note: The times and sequence specified in 

this agenda are subject to change.

ACTION: Notice of Information 

Collection, request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Commerce, in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), invites 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. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow for 60 days of public 

comment preceding submission of the 

collection to OMB. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, 

comments regarding this proposed 

information collection must be received 

on or before March 16, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments to 

Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer, 

at Adrienne.thomas@noaa.gov. Do not 

submit Confidential Business 

Information or otherwise sensitive or 

protected information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

specific questions related to collection 

activities should be directed to Dr. Kim

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Each year over 1000 tornadoes affect 

communities across the United States, 

yet very little is known about how 

individuals receive, interpret, and 

respond to information from NOAA 

relating to this hazard. In fact, only a 

small sample of tornadoes ever receive 

study, and most often those are only the 

largest tornadoes. No generalizable 

information on tornado warning 

response after real-world events exists. 

The National Weather Service and 

National Severe Storms Laboratory have 

designed this data collection instrument 

to allow for more routine collection of 

this information. Respondents will 

include members of the US public who 

have recently (within the previous 30 

days) been in or near a tornado, and 

they will be asked questions about the 

ways they received, understood, and 

responded to NWS watch/warning 

information. 

The information would be collected 

by NWS forecasters using their Damage 

Assessment Tool (DAT), and also by 

members of the public who voluntarily 

access a web tool developed by the 

National Severe Storms Laboratory. The 

questions will also be included in a 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Notices 3999 

standardized post-event survey tool that 

will be offered to recipients of Natural 

Hazards Center Quick Response Grants. 

The information will be used as part of 

a pilot study to explore methods for 

more systematically collecting postevent data in support of program 

evaluation for NOAA’s tornado watch/ 

warning system. 

II. Method of Collection 

A primary method of data collection 

intends to gather tornado survivor 

stories through a web-based interface. 

Currently a web-based App is under 

development at NSSL. The aim is for 

this to be similar to the United States 

Geological Survey (USGS) ‘Did You Feel 

It’ (DYFI) pages used for reporting 

earthquakes and feeding in to a realistic 

Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale 

report. Specific questions in the webbased App are aimed at discovering 

whether tornado watches and warnings 

were received, and if they were, how 

they were received as well as what 

action citizens did or did not take. This 

will help to define value action gaps 

more completely. Additionally the webbased App allows citizens to be 

involved as part of the overall scientific 

endeavor, helping scientists and 

researchers understand what helps 

increase survivability to tornadoes as 

well as what undermines it.

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the

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

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

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your
