National Forest, implement the 

proposed action, or select an alternative 

for the management of OSV uses. 

Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process, which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. 

Written comments should be within the 

scope of the proposed action, have a 

direct relationship to the proposed 

action, and must include supporting 

reasons for the responsible official to 

consider. Therefore, comments should 

be provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. The preferred format for 

attachments to electronically submitted 

comments would be as an MS Word 

document. Attachments in portable 

document format (pdf) are not preferred, 

but are acceptable. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered, however. 

The Lassen National Forest OverSnow Vehicle (OSV) Use Designation is 

an activity implementing a land 

management plan. It is not an activity 

authorized under the Healthy Forests 

Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108– 

148). Therefore, this activity is subject 

to pre-decisional administrative review 

consistent with the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 

112–74) as implemented by subparts A 

and B of 36 CFR part 218.

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: Vessel Cost and Earnings Data 

Collection Survey in the Greater 

Atlantic Region. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0643. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 262. 

Average Hours per Response: One 

hour. 

Burden Hours: 262. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of an existing 

information collection. 

Economic data on the costs of 

operating commercial fishing businesses 

are needed by the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) to meet the 

legislative requirements of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 

Executive Order 12866 and the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Social 

Sciences Branch (SSB) of the NMFS, 

Northeast Fisheries Science Center 

(NEFSC) is responsible for estimating 

the economic and social impacts of 

fishery management actions. 

Lack of information on fixed (non-trip 

related) costs, crew payments and 

operating (trip) costs has severely 

limited the ability of the SSB to assess 

fishermen’s behavioral responses to 

changes in regulations, fishing 

conditions, and market conditions. 

Maintaining an ongoing, consistent, data 

collection program will enable the SSB 

to provide a level of analysis that meets 

the needs of the New England Fishery 

Management Council, the Mid-Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council and 

NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of 

Commerce, to make informed decisions 

about the expected economic effects of 

proposed management alternatives. 

Revision: We will begin conducting 

this survey every four years rather than 

annually, to reduce respondent burden 

and fatigue. In the next iteration, to be 

mailed in early 2016, half the 

population will receive a survey for 

costs incurred in 2015. In early 2017, 

the remaining half will receive a survey 

for costs incurred in 2016.
