Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 76 / Monday, April 21, 2014 / Notices 22159 

Our Response: The mortality 

estimates at haulouts provided in the 

SAR are rough estimates because they 

are based on a combination of biologist 

and Alaska Native hunter’s observations 

and counts. We have provided clarifying 

text to the SAR to reflect the source and 

nature of this information. 

Comment 35: One commenter 

suggested that the SAR be modified to 

reflect the level of industrial activity 

near Hanna Shoal. 

Our Response: From 2006 to 2013, 

two to three operators have conducted 

activities in the Chukchi Sea annually, 

but not always near Hanna Shoal. 

Activities have included mainly 

geotechnical and environmental studies, 

but also 2D and 3D seismic activities, 

and one drilling operation. We 

anticipate that the level of activity in the 

foreseeable future near Hanna Shoal 

will remain the same as that which we 

have seen in the past 8 years. 

Comment 36: One commenter 

recommended that the Service update 

information about the amount of 

tonnage of cargo, including oil products, 

moving through Russian waters, as the 

traffic there far exceeds that in U.S. 

waters. 

Our Response: The information 

presented was the most current on the 

number of transits at the time the draft 

SAR was completed. We currently do 

not have information on the tonnage of 

cargo moving through Russian and U.S. 

waters, but will seek a source for this 

type of information in the future.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks OMB approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Application for Alien 

Employment Certification information 

collection that helps the DOL to meet its 

statutory responsibilities for program 

administration, management, and 

oversight under the Immigration and 

Naturalization Act (INA). INA section 

212(a)(5)(A)(iii) deals specifically with 

professional athletes coming to the 

U.S.A. on a permanent basis as 

immigrants, and Form ETA–750, part A 

is used to collect information that 

permits the DOL to meet Federal 

responsibilities for such entry. Form 

ETA–750, part B provides detailed 

information about an alien’s education 

and work history and is used by the 

DOL to collect information about the 

professional athlete on whose behalf an 

application for permanent labor 

certification is filed. The Department of 

Homeland Security also uses part B for 

foreign workers applying for the 

National Interest Waiver of the job offer 

requirement under INA section 

203(b)(2)(B)(i). This use is required 

under is also required 8 CFR 

204.5(k)(4)(ii). 

This information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because Form 

ETA–9142B is now used to obtain 

information needed to issue an H–2B 

visa to a professional athlete seeking 

temporary non-immigrant admission 

into the U.S.A. The DOL has previously 

used Form ETA–750 part A to collect 

information for labor certification for 

athletes seeking either temporary or 

permanent admission. The DOL obtains 

PRA authority for Form ETA–9142B 

under Control Number 1205–0509, and 

this ICR will merely conclude the 

transfer of the burden from one Control 

Number to another. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1205–0015. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on April 

30, 2014; however, the DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 3, 2014 (79 FR 407). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES 

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1205– 

0015. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
