SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved generic information 

collection. 

This collection follows the guidelines 

contained in the OMB Resource Manual 

for Customer Surveys. In accordance 

with Executive Order 12862, the 

National Performance Review, and good 

management practices, NOAA offices 

seek approval to continue to gather 

customer feedback on services and/or 

products, which can be used in 

planning for service/product 

modification and prioritization. Under 

this generic clearance, individual offices 

would use approved questionnaires and 

develop new questionnaires, as needed, 

by selecting subsets of the approved set 

of collection questions and tailoring 

those specific questions to be 

meaningful for their particular 

programs. These proposed 

questionnaires would then be submitted 

to OMB using a fast-track request for 

approval process, for which separate 

Federal Register notices are not 

required. Surveys currently being 

conducted include Web site satisfaction 

surveys, a Chart Users survey, and a 

Coastal Services Center Training 

Evaluation. 

The generic clearance will not be used 

to survey any bodies NOAA regulates 

unless precautions are taken to ensure 

that the respondents believe that they 

are not under any risk for not 

responding or for the contents of their 

responses; e.g., in no survey to such a 

population will the names and 

addresses of respondents be required. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information will be collected via mail, 

email or online. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0342. 

Form Number(s): None.

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; not-for-profit institutions; 

state, local or tribal government; 

business or other for-profit 

organizations.

Russian authorities issue a permit, the 

vessel owner or operator must submit a 

permit abstract report to NMFS, and 

also report 24 hours before leaving the 

U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for 

the Russian Economic Zone and 24 

hours before re-entering the U.S. EEZ 

after being in the Russian Economic 

Zone. 

The permit application information is 

used by Russian authorities to 

determine whether to issue a permit. 

NMFS uses the other information to 

help ensure compliance with Russian 

and U.S. fishery management 

regulations. 

II. Method of Collection 

Paper forms are used for applications. 

Submission of copies of permits, vessel 

abstract reports, and departure and 

return messages are provided by fax.
