been covered by prior environmental 

review (Sec. 1506.3) * * *’’ 

1. Significant Issues are used to 

formulate alternatives, prescribe 

mitigation measures, or analyze 

environmental effects. Issues are 

significant because of the extent of their 

geographic distribution, the duration of 

their effects, or the intensity of interest 

or resource conflicts. 

2. Non-Significant Issues are: (1) 

Outside of the scope of the proposed 

action; (2) already determined through 

law, regulation, Forest Plan, or other 

higher level decision; (3) irrelevant to 

the decision to be made; (4) conjectural 

and not supported by scientific fact; (5) 

a comment, opinion, or position 

statement; or, (6) a question for 

clarification or information. 

Although non-significant issues are 

not used to formulate alternatives or 

prescribe mitigation measures, the EIS 

will disclose all significant 

environmental effects including any 

related to non-significant issues. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. Comments on the 

proposed action should be submitted 

within 45 days of the date of publication 

of this Notice of Intent. The Forest 

Service will hold a public meeting in 

March 2012. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review 

A draft environmental impact 

statement will be prepared for comment. 

The comment period on the draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

45 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of draft environmental impact 

statements must structure their 

participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewer’s position and contentions. 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. 

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could be 

raised at the draft environmental impact 

statement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

environmental impact statement may be 

waived or dismissed by the courts. City 

of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 

1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin 

Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 

1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of 

these court rulings, it is very important 

that those interested in this proposed 

action participate by the close of the 45 

day comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.

BILLING CODE 3410–11–P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

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: West Coast Groundfish Trawl 

Economic Data. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0618. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(revision of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 252. 

Average Hours per Response: 8 hours. 

Burden Hours: 2,016. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

revision of a current information 

collection. 

This information collection is needed 

in order to meet the monitoring 

requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act (MSA). In particular, the Northwest 

Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) 

needs economic data on all harvesters, 

first receivers, shorebased processors, 

catcher processors, and motherships 

participating in the West Coast 

groundfish trawl fishery. 

The currently approved collection 

covers collection of data for the 2009, 

2010, and 2011 operating years. Data 

from the 2009 and 2010 operating years 

provides information on the economic 

condition of the fishery prior to the 

implementation of catch share 

management in January 2011, and has 

been collected by the NWFSC. Data for 

the 2011 operating year, which will 

provide information on the first year of 

operation under the catch share regime, 

will be collected from all catcher vessels 

registered to a limited entry trawl 

endorsed permit, catcher processors 

registered to catcher processor permits, 

and motherships registered to 

mothership permits, first receivers, and 

shorebased processors that received 

round or head-and-gutted Individual 

Fishing Quota (IFQ) groundfish or 

whiting from a first receiver. 

Based on review of the completed 

economic data collection (EDC) forms 

submitted for the 2009 and 2010 

operating years as well as discussions 

with survey respondents, the NWFSC 

seeks to modify the four forms which 

are used in this information collection. 

These modifications clarify instructions, 

make the requests for information more 

consistent with the accounting/ 

bookkeeping systems used by survey 

recipients, and continue to facilitate 

meeting MSA requirements for 

evaluation of the economic effect of 

catch share management on the West 

Coast groundfish limited entry trawl 

fishery. 

As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC 

forms due on September 1, 2012 will 

provide data for the 2011 operating year. 

The definition of the survey 

population is different for 2011 data, to 

account for differences between the 

requirements for the baseline collection 

and ongoing collections as defined in 

the regulations. To capture vessel 

improvements and repairs to vessels 

that did not harvest any groundfish or 

were operated by lessees, in the 2011 

data collection, as well as to collect 

more complete information about 

shoreside operations that do not process 

fish, completion of each form in its 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices 12007 

entirety will be required for all owners 

of vessels registered to a limited entry 

trawl endorsed permit, a mothership 

permit, or a catcher processor permit, 

owners of a first receiver site license, 

and owners or lessees of a shorebased 

processor that received round or 

headed-and-gutted IFQ species 

groundfish or whiting from a first 

receiver. This is in contrast to the 2009 

and 2010 data collection which allowed 

entities that did not harvest or process 

any groundfish to complete only the 

first four pages of the forms. 

Other minor modifications to the 

catcher vessel forms include asking for 

information about lease dates of the 

vessel, and the addition of several 

expense categories based on feedback 

from the 2009 and 2010 data collections. 

The first receiver and shorebased 

processor form was modified to better 

align with accounting practices and to 

clarify the information required for 

reporting fish purchases. There were no 

other changes to the mothership or 

catcher processors forms. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

petitions for certification of eligibility to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

from the firms listed below. 

Accordingly, EDA has initiated 

investigations to determine whether 

increased imports into the United States 

of articles like or directly competitive

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.
