SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This is a request for a new collection 

of information. 

The data collection is sponsored by 

DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service 

(NWS)/Office of Dissemination (DISS) 

in consultation with the NWS 

Communications Division. Weather.gov 

is the main entry point to NWS 

forecasts, warnings, and other 

information for a diverse user 

community, including the public, 

partners and emergency managers, 

academia, researchers, and employees. 

The user interface is intended to serve 

many purposes for these audiences but 

regular feedback through Customer 

Satisfaction Surveys from all users 

emphasizes varying levels of difficulty 

locating basic information. Such 

difficulty diminishes the overall 

customer experience. Additionally, 

during high impact events, Weather.gov 

is known to suffer performance issues 

due to increased traffic. 

The Weather.gov Survey is permitted 

under 15 U.S.C. Ch. 111, Weather 

Research and Forecasting Information. It 

also advances the NWS Strategic Plan 

(2019–2022) ‘‘Transformative ImpactBased Decision Support Services (IDSS) 

and Research to Operations and 

Operations to Research (R2O/O2R). The 

Survey also addresses the NWS Weather 

Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013) 

Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and 

3.1.4. 

The purpose of this collection is to 

help determine the appropriate web 

content for weather.gov so the customer 

experience can be improved and the 

content can be better accessed and used. 

NWS is looking to improve 

functionality, ease of use, and 

formatting but feedback on any other 

areas of weather.gov that NWS should 

consider updating is welcome as well. 

The collection will create a high-level 

data requirements document that 

identifies a set of high-priority NWS 

products, services, and observations that 

provide mission-critical, timely, and 

reliable information to make decisions 

with when seconds count. The 

document will also identify high-level 

partner requirements for accessibility 

(mobile versus desktop), timeliness, and 

reliability. 

This information would be collected 

on a one-off basis and analyzed by 

Forrester Research, who has assisted 

NWS in creating a survey instrument 

and would provide NWS with a 

summary of findings, raw data and 

access to interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or 

tools, to visualize the aggregated data. 

Respondents include the general public, 

defined as (adults ages 18+) who reside 

in the United States, as well as NWS 

partners. Forrester will oversee 

recruitment of U.S. adults by an online 

market research company that 

aggregates large panels of people who 

sign up to complete internet surveys. 

Respondents will be asked questions 

about their preferred way of getting 

weather information (including weather 

on regular days and during severe/ 

hazardous weather), their use of 

Weather.gov and other weather 

websites, interest in different types of 

weather information on a website, 

priorities and preferences in accessing 

weather-related information online, and 

preferred format of receiving weather 

information. This data collection serves 

many purposes, including gaining a 

better understanding of the online 

weather information needs (including 

information about hazardous weather) 

of different customer groups, including 

historically underserved and socially 

vulnerable communities, how they 

prefer to receive this information, how 

they would like the Weather.gov main 

page to be organized, what additional 

functionality they expect that would 

make them feel better prepared for 

hazardous weather, and has the 

potential to explore possible 

correlations and causal relationships 

with other observed variables of 

interest. This data will be used by the 

OSTI in NWS to develop a set of website 

content requirements to improve the 

structure and navigation on 

Weather.gov. 

II. Method of Collection 

Since the primary objective is to 

inform website content requirements for 

Weather.gov, the method of data 

collection will be a web-based survey 

interface. Survey sample respondents 

(from an online panel) will be nationally 

representative, using demographic 

questions captured in the survey to set 

quotas that mirror the distribution of 

demographic groups in the U.S. and 

Territories. The survey will be 

translated to Spanish.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. Under the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), NOAA’s National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is 

responsible for management of the 

nation’s marine fisheries. Catch 

reporting from recreational and 

commercial handgear fisheries provides 

important data used to monitor catches 

of Atlantic highly migratory species 

(HMS) and supplements other existing 

data collection programs. Data collected 

through this program are used for both 

domestic and international fisheries 

management and stock assessment 

purposes. NMFS would also like to 

expand the title of the collection to 

‘‘Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 

Recreational Landings and Bluefin Tuna 

Catch Reports’’ from the current 

‘‘Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 

Recreational Landings Reports.’’ 

Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch 

reporting provides real-time catch 

information used to monitor the BFT 

fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act of 1975 (ATCA, 16 

U.S.C. 971), the United States is 

required to adopt regulations, as 

necessary and appropriate, to 

implement binding recommendations of 

the International Commission for the 

Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), 

including recommendations on a 

specified BFT quota. BFT catch 

reporting helps the U.S. monitor this 

quota and supports scientific research 

consistent with ATCA and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq.). Recreational anglers and 

commercial handgear fishermen are 

required to report specific information 

regarding their catch of BFT. 

Atlantic billfish and swordfish are 

managed internationally by ICCAT and 

nationally under ATCA and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. This collection 

provides information needed to monitor 

the recreational catch of Atlantic blue 

and white marlin, which is applied to 

the recreational limit established by 

ICCAT, and the recreational catch of 

North Atlantic swordfish, which is 

applied to the U.S. quota established by 

ICCAT. This collection also provides 

information on recreational landings of 

West Atlantic sailfish, which is 

unavailable from other established 

monitoring programs. Collection of 

sailfish catch information is authorized 

under the Magnuson-Stevens Act for 

purposes of stock management. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents reporting BFT, Atlantic 

marlin, West Atlantic sailfish, or North 

Atlantic swordfish catch in states (and 

the United States Virgin Islands and 

Puerto Rico) other than Maryland and 

North Carolina may use either an 

internet website, mobile smartphone 

app, or a toll-free telephone number. In 

Maryland and North Carolina, a paper 

reporting system is used for all of the 

aforementioned species. Under state 

law, respondents in Maryland and 

North Carolina must submit a landing 

card at a state-operated reporting 

station. States that participate in a 

landing card program must submit 

weekly reports and one annual report to 

NMFS to summarize landings and 

results to date. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0328. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(extension of an approved information 

collection). 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit organizations; individuals or 

households; and State, Local, or Tribal 

government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

14,193. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

minutes for an initial call-in, internet, or 

smartphone app report; 5 minutes for a 

confirmation call; 10 minutes for a 

landing card; 1 hour for a weekly state 

report; and 4 hours for an annual state 

report. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,637. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 

(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.)
