SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) is requesting renewal of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. On October 10, 2008, 

NMFS published a final rule with 

regulations (0648–AS36) implementing 

seasonal speed restrictions along the 

east coast of the U.S. to reduce the 

incidence and severity of vessel 

collisions with endangered North 

Atlantic right whales (73 FR 60173). The 

final rule contained a mandatory 

collection-of-information requirement 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA). Specifically, 50 CFR 224.105(c) 

requires a logbook entry to document 

that a deviation from the speed limit 

was necessary for safe maneuverability 

under certain conditions. On November 

18, 2021, the information collection was 

revised to include a voluntary survey of 

vessel operators to evaluate their ability 

and willingness to: (1) comply with 

North Atlantic right whale mandatory 

speed restrictions, and (2) cooperate 

with voluntary speed reduction efforts 

to protect North Atlantic right whales, 

which are promoted through NMFS 

outreach efforts. NOAA collects 

information from two types of vessels 

(pleasure yachts and large ocean-going 

vessels) in two different areas of the 

North Atlantic right whales’ range using 

voluntary online surveys and small 

focus groups. The surveys collect 

information about vessel operators’ time 

spent on the water, experience and 

knowledge about large whales, 

knowledge of North Atlantic vessel 

strike reduction efforts, opinions about 

these whales and conservation efforts, 

and their preferred means of receiving 

information. Results from this 

information collection will be used to 

develop effective outreach to these 

vessel communities, with the long-term 

goal of improving the communities’ 

compliance with mandatory measures 

and cooperation with voluntary 

measures that support North Atlantic 

right whale vessel strike reduction 

conservation efforts. 

II. Method of Collection 

Vessel logbook entries are required 

from vessel operators if an exception to 

the vessel speed restriction is invoked, 

and the speed limit exceeded. Typically, 

paper logbooks are not routinely 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
65368 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2023 / Notices 

submitted to a federal agency and 

remain entirely on individual vessels. 

However, logbooks may be requested by 

federal authorities if questions arise 

regarding the circumstances under 

which the deviation was invoked. 

Voluntary survey effort information is 

collected in three ways: (1) 

electronically; (2) in-person focus 

groups; or (3) virtual focus groups. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0580. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

[extension of an approved information 

collection]. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,624. 

Estimated Time per Response: Five 

minutes for safety deviation logbook 

entry; one hour for electronic survey; 

two hours and 30 minutes for focus 

groups. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 674. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: 0. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Logbook 

entries are required to lawfully deviate 

from the speed regulations; survey is 

voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Endangered Species 

Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; and Marine 

Mammal Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. 1361 

et seq. 

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.
