Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 234 / Thursday, December 5, 2024 / Notices 96647 

Title: Recreational Angler Survey of 

Sea Turtle Interactions. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0774. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular Submission 

[Revision and Extension of a current 

information collection]. 

Number of Respondents: 6,667. 

Average Hours per Response: 10 

minutes for the Fishing Site 

Characterization Form, 5 minutes for the 

Survey Cover Sheet, 10 minutes for the 

Angler Intercept Survey. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,111 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: NOAA’s National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA 

Fisheries) proposes to revise and extend 

a current information collection 

designed to assess the extent of hook 

and line interactions between 

recreational anglers on piers and other 

shore-based fishing locations and sea 

turtles. The collection comprises an 

Angler Intercept Survey, a Fishing Site 

Characterization Form, and a Survey 

Cover Sheet. The Angler Intercept 

Survey will be verbally administered on 

piers and shore-based fishing locations 

within NOAA Fisheries Greater Atlantic 

Region and Southeast Region, and will 

be administered over three years’ time 

to approximately 20,000 individual 

recreational Anglers (6,667 per year). 

The respondents will be verbally asked 

a series of questions about their fishing 

practices and observations of sea turtles 

and the interviewer will record their 

answers. The survey will also assess the 

feasibility of an intercept survey for this 

purpose in terms of response rates and 

data collection. The Fishing Site 

Characterization Form will be 

completed by the survey administrator 

at each fishing location who will also 

collect information on the structure and 

operation of the pier or shore-based 

fishing location. The survey 

administrator will complete the Site 

Characterization Sheet during each 

survey period and collect information 

on the environmental conditions for that 

particular day, the number of anglers 

fishing, number of lines in the water, 

and the number of surveys completed. 

The collection previously included a 

Sea Turtle Incidental Capture Form. 

This form will be removed from this 

collection and is now included in the 

National Sea Turtle Stranding & Salvage 

Network Stranding & Gear Interaction 

Data Collection (0648–0496). 

Collection of data on sea turtle 

interactions in the shore-based 

recreational fishing sector is necessary 

to fulfill statutory requirements of the 

Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 

et. seq.). This collection will allow 

NOAA Fisheries obtain specific 

information about recreational piers 

(defined here to include piers and other 

shore-based structures), the anglers that 

fish on piers, the nature of interactions 

between pier-based anglers and sea 

turtles, as well as to determine specific 

factors that may influence the rate of 

interactions. NOAA Fisheries can use 

the information collected to evaluate the 

impact of these interactions on sea turtle 

populations and determine conservation 

measures that can be implemented to 

reduce interactions and support the 

conservation and recovery of 

endangered and threatened sea turtle 

populations. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Collection of these 

data on sea turtle interactions in the 

shore-based recreational fishing sector is 

necessary to fulfill statutory 

requirements of the Endangered Species 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.).

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.

Department of Commerce collections

BILLING CODE 3711–CC–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP25–5–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Scoping Period Requesting 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

for the Proposed Line 4010 

Abandonment Project, and Notice of 

Public Scoping Session 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document, that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Line 4010 Abandonment Project 

involving abandonment of facilities by 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Columbia) in Jefferson and Clarion 

Counties, Pennsylvania. The 

Commission will use this environmental 

document in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of an authorization. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please submit your 

comments so that the Commission 

receives them in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

December 19, 2024. Comments may be 

submitted in written form. Further 

details on how to submit comments are 

provided in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

Your comments should focus on the 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on October 24, 

2024, you would need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP25–5–000 to 

ensure they are considered as part of 

this proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with State law. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

Columbia provided landowners with 

a fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ which addresses typically 

asked questions, including the use of 

eminent domain and how to participate 

in the Commission’s proceedings. This 

fact sheet along with other landowner 

topics of interest are available for 

viewing on the FERC website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas, 

Landowner Topics link.
