For the 2020–21 in-water work 

season, the Navy requested issuance of 

LOAs for work planned at NBK 

Manchester and Zelatched Point. The 

work planned for NBK Manchester was 

delayed and will now occur during the 

2021–22 work season. The Navy 

submitted a monitoring report for work 

conducted at Zelatched Point, which is 

available online at: 

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/ 

incidental-take-authorization-us-navymarine-structure-maintenance-and-pilereplacement-wa. 

Authorization 

We have issued two LOAs to the Navy 

authorizing the take of marine mammals 

incidental to maintenance construction 

activities, as described above. Take of 

marine mammals will be minimized 

through the implementation of the 

following planned mitigation measures: 

(1) Required monitoring of the 

construction areas to detect the presence 

of marine mammals before beginning 

construction activities; (2) shutdown of 

construction activities under certain 

circumstances to avoid injury of marine 

mammals; and (3) soft start for impact 

pile driving to allow marine mammals 

the opportunity to leave the area prior 

to beginning impact pile driving at full 

power. Additionally, the rule includes 

an adaptive management component 

that allows for timely modification of 

mitigation or monitoring measures 

based on new information, when 

appropriate. The Navy will submit 

reports as required. 

Based on these findings and the 

information discussed in the preamble 

to the final rule, the activities described 

under these LOAs will have a negligible 

impact on marine mammal stocks and 

will not have an unmitigable adverse 

impact on the availability of the affected 

marine mammal stock for subsistence 

uses.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; NOAA Customer Surveys 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on March 2, 

2021 (86 FR 12179), during a 60-day 

comment period. This notice allows for 

an additional 30 days for public 

comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic & 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

Title: NOAA Customer Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0342. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

[Revision and extension of a current 

information collection.]. 

Number of Respondents: 65,860 

(197,580 for 3-year period). 

Average Hours per Response: 

Response time varies from 5 minutes for 

most web surveys to two hours for focus 

groups or interviews. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,298 

(27,894 for 3-year period). 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

revision and 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, National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (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. Surveys 

currently typically include IT and 

website satisfaction surveys, Weather 

Service product surveys, and National 

Marine Sanctuary participation surveys, 

among others. 

This 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. 

Two sets of survey questions are used 

for generation of program-level 

questionnaires. Quantitative questions 

seek to obtain numerical ratings from 

respondents on their satisfaction with 

various aspects of the product or service 

they obtained—satisfaction with the 

quality of the product, the courtesy of 

the staff, the format of and 

documentation for data received, and 

similar standard types of questions. The 

offices using such questions are able to 

determine which aspects of their 

program need improvement or have 

improved. Qualitative questions are 

more focused on who is using the 

product and service, how it is being 

used, and the medium or format in 

which the respondent would like to see 

data provided. 

NOAA seeks to add new questions to 

the approved question bank in order to 

more accurately reflect information 

required by NOAA in order to carry out 

its mission. Additionally, the number of 

anticipated respondents, responses, and 

burden hours have been updated to 

more accurately reflect the burden 

imposed by this collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

organizations; Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

government; Federal government; 

Farms. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Executive Order 

12862, Circular A–11.

Department of Commerce collections 

currently under review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be
