Groundfish Observer Program was

Alaska Fisheries Science Center in 

Seattle, Washington, provides the 

operational oversight of the program, 

certification training, definition of 

observer sampling duties and methods, 

debriefing of observers, and 

management of the data. Owners of 

vessels, shoreside processors, or 

stationary floating processors required 

to carry observers must arrange for 

observer services from an observer 

provider. A list of observer providers is 

available at http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/ 

refm/observers/observer_providers.htm. 

The name of this collection is 

changed from ‘‘Observer Providers of 

the North Pacific’’ to read ‘‘NMFS 

Alaska Region Observer Providers.’’

households.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Knowledge, Attitudes, and 

Perceptions of Management Strategies 

and Regulations in the Florida Keys 

National Marine Sanctuary. 

Form Number(s): None. 

OMB Approval Number: None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 490. 

Number of Respondents: 245. 

Average Hours Per Response: 2. 

Needs and Uses: This is a ten-year 

replication of the Knowledge, Attitudes, 

and Perceptions of the management 

strategies and regulations of the Florida 

Keys National Marine Sanctuary 

(FKNMS) for three user groups; 

commercial fishermen, dive shop 

owners/operators, and members of local 

environmental groups. The original 

study was done in 1995–96 and was 

adopted as providing baselines for the 

Socioeconomic Research and 

Monitoring Program for the FKNMS. 

Since 1995–96 much has happened, so 

the study will also provide new 

baselines for new management strategies 

and regulations. The most important 

management strategies and regulations 

assessed in both the baseline and 

replication are those related to the 

special zones created in the FKNMS, 

especially the no-take areas. The 

information is important to support the 

‘‘adaptive management’’ process in the 

FKNMS and to support education and 

outreach efforts. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker,
