Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 48 / Wednesday, March 12, 1997 / Notices 11415

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

Agency: Bureau of the Census.

Title: Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal Special

Place Facility Questionnaire Operation.

Form Number(s): DX–351.

Agency Approval Number: 0607–0786.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of an expired collection.

Burden: 125 hours.

Number of Respondents: 500.

Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.

Needs and Uses: Planning is currently

underway for the Census 2000 Dress

Rehearsal which is an integral part of the

overall planning process for the Year 2000

Decennial Census. The Census Bureau must

provide everyone in the dress rehearsal sites

the opportunity to be counted including

persons living at group quarters (GQs)

(student dorms, shelters, group homes, etc.)

and housing units (HUs) at and/or associated

with special places (SPs). One of the major

requirements for enumeration of persons at

SP facilities is to identify the GQs and any

associated HUs at each SP.

We will maintain a file of SPs and

GQs for the dress rehearsal sites that

was created from the 1990 census GQ

files and updated from ongoing

programs and other activities that will

be carried out for the Census 2000 Dress

Rehearsal.

Another operation that will assist in

updating our list of SPs and GQs is

called the Special Place Facility

Questionnaire Operation. In this

operation we plan to phone each SP

within the Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal

sites and conduct computer assisted

interviews to identify and collect

updated information about the GQs and

HUs at each SP using the DX–351

Special Place Facility Questionnaire.

Affected Public: Businesses or other forprofit, Individuals or households, Not-forprofit institutions.

Frequency: One-time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 13 USC, Sections 141

and 193.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

NOAA is requesting emergency OMB

review of new requirements needed for

the implementation of Framework

Adjustment 20 (Framework 20) to the

Fishery Management Plan in the
11416 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 48 / Wednesday, March 12, 1997 / Notices

Northeast Multispecies Fishery (FMP).

Action is requested by March 17, 1997.

Specifically, Framework 20 would

implement a gillnet vessel effortreduction program (by including a cap

on the number of nets and revising

days-at-sea monitoring), and implement

programs to re-direct effort off of the

overexploited cod stock in the Gulf of

Maine (GOM) area. These measures

need to be in effect before May 1, 1997

(the start of the 1997/1998 fishing year)

in order to achieve the objectives of the

FMP in that fishing year. Failure to have

them in effect at the start of the 1997/

1998 fishing year would cause

administrative problems and prove

unnecessarily confusing to the industry.

Implementation also cannot be delayed

because of the need to make days-at-sea

allocations, implement effort-reduction

programs in the gillnet fishery, re-direct

focus off of the overexploited cod stock

in the GOM area, and reduce discards at

sea to the maximum extent practicable

(as required by the Magnuson-Stevens

Fishery Conservation and Management

Act). These measures, combined with

the measures currently in place, are

critical to the overall success of the FMP

to rebuild the principal multispecies

stocks and mitigate some of its impacts.

It is anticipated that these measures will

curb a recent pattern of effort

displacement into the GOM inshore area

that resulted from initial phases of

effort-reduction programs under

Amendments 5, 6, and 7 to the FMP.

Emergency approval of this request is

essential to the mission of the National

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

As emergency approvals under the

PRA are for a very limited duration, this

notice also requests public comments on

a follow-up submission that will be

made to OMB under standard review

procedures.

A number of specific information

requirements are contained in

Framework 20. These measures require

that multispecies gillnet vessels select to

fish under a ‘‘Day gillnet’’ and ‘‘Trip

gillnet’’ category designation; adds effort

reduction requirements for Day gillnet

vessels—a requirement to take 120 days

out of the gillnet fishery, and the

requirement to request tags for, and tag,

gillnets; adds a call in requirement for

vessels exceeding the cod trip limit

when fishing north of 42°00′ N. latitude;

and adds a cod trip limit exemption

program for the cod fishery south of

42°00′ N. latitude.

II. Method of Collection

Declarations and requests for net tags

are made by form. Cod hail reports and

exemption requests are made by phone.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0648–0202.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Emergency and Regular

Submission.

Affected Public: Individuals and

businesses (fishermen).

Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,500.

Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes

for category changes, 3 minutes to declare the

120 days out of the fishery, 1 minute to

attach each tag, 3 minutes to report cod

catch, and 2 minutes to request cod limit

exemption.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:

1,999.

Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public:

$30,240 for tags.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.
