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 January 25, 

2021 (86 FR 6876) during a 60-day 

comment period and again on April, 16, 

2021 (86 FR 20120) during a 30-day

Title: Socioeconomics of Coral Reef 

Conservation, Guam 2023 Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0646. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular, new 

information collection for an existing 

control number. 

Number of Respondents: 800. 

Average Hours per Response: 20 

minutes (0.33 hours). 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 267 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

new information collection under the 

currently approved hybrid-generic 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 0648–0646. The 

information collection is part of the 

National Coral Reef Monitoring Program 

(NCRMP), which was established by the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef 

Conservation Program (CRCP) under the 

authority of the Coral Reef Conservation 

Act of 2000. The CRCP was created to 

safeguard and ensure the welfare of the 

coral reef ecosystems along the 

coastlines of America’s states and 

territories. In accordance with its 

mission goals, NOAA developed a 

survey to track relevant information 

regarding each jurisdiction’s population, 

social and economic structure, the 

benefits of coral reefs and related 

habitats, the impacts of society on coral 

reefs, and the impacts of coral 

management on communities. The 

survey is repeated in each jurisdiction 

every five to seven years in order to 

provide longitudinal data and 

information for managers to effectively 

conserve coral reefs for current and 

future generations. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is to obtain human 

dimensions information from residents 

in Guam. Specifically, NOAA is seeking 

information on the behaviors and 

activities related to coral reefs, as well 

as information on perceptions of coral 

reef conditions and attitudes toward 

specific reef conservation activities. The 

survey has a core set of questions that 

are the same for all jurisdictions to 

allow for information to be tracked over 

time. To account for geographical, 

cultural and linguistic differences 

between jurisdictions, the survey 

questions include items that are specific 

to the local context and developed 

based on jurisdictional partner 

feedback. 

We intend to use the information 

collected through this survey 

instrument for research purposes, as 

well as for measuring and improving the 

results of our reef protection programs. 

Because many of our efforts to protect 

reefs rely on education and changing 

attitudes toward reef protection, the 

information collected will allow CRCP 

to ensure that programs are designed 

appropriately at the start, future

resources policies and programs to meet 

the needs of commercial and 

recreational fisheries, aquaculture, 

seafood trade, environmental,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSE is a 

process that allows fishery managers 

and stakeholders (e.g., industry, 

scientists, and non-governmental 

organizations) to assess how well 

different strategies achieve specified 

management objectives for a fishery. 

After several years of work, ICCAT 

expects to finalize its bluefin tuna MSE 

in 2022 and anticipates adopting a 

management procedure in November 

2022 to set Total Allowable Catch 

(TACs) for 2023 and future years for 

both the western Atlantic and eastern 

Atlantic and Mediterranean stocks of 

bluefin tuna. NMFS and the United 

States more broadly participate in this 

MSE development process and have 

been engaging stakeholders and 

considering their input throughout the 

process through various means, 

including consultation with the 

Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section 

to ICCAT. The United States also 

participates in the development of the 

bluefin tuna MSE through active 

engagement by U.S. scientists in 

ICCAT’s Standing Committee on 

Research and Statistics (SCRS). 

The May 2 meeting is intended to 

update stakeholders and solicit their 

input on the MSE approach being 

developed by ICCAT. This includes 

SCRS progress in developing initial 

candidate management procedures 

(CMPs) illustrating potential 

management tradeoffs and the related 

process by ICCAT to refine management 

objectives to assist the SCRS in further 

refining and narrowing those CMPs. 

This open session Advisory Committee 

meeting is primarily informational in 

nature and intended to increase the 

opportunity for stakeholder awareness 

and input on the bluefin tuna MSE 

process. Discussions at the meeting will 

help to inform U.S. scientists who are 

participating in the work of the SCRS, 

and input provided during the meeting 

will be considered by the United States 

to assist its preparations for a 9–10 May 

2022 meeting of ICCAT’s Panel 2 and 

other ICCAT bluefin tuna MSE meetings 

planned for 2022. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.; 16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
