30410 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 8, 2021 / Notices 

longitudinal effort to assess Complex 

Event Resilience of Small- and Mediumsized Enterprises (SMEs) during the 

COVID–19 pandemic. This effort was 

approved by the NIST Office of the 

Associate Director for Laboratory 

Programs, providing time for this work 

to be conducted. 

As COVID–19 conditions persist, 

populations around the U.S. and the 

world have and will continue to 

experience heat waves, floods, 

hurricanes, fire, and drought during the 

period of virus transmission and into 

the period of recovery (e.g., Phillips et 

al., 2020). There were 22 $1 billion 

extreme weather events in 2020. SMEs 

in areas vulnerable to natural hazards 

and disasters are particularly 

noteworthy in the context of COVID–19. 

The goal of this longitudinal effort is 

to inform NIST research and 

recommendations as well as provide 

Federal partners (e.g., FEMA, NOAA, 

and SBA) with insights into how SMEs 

think about disaster readiness during 

the pandemic, both the transmission 

and recovery periods. The first and 

second waves of data collection took 

place during summer 2020 and fall 

2020/winter 2021, respectively and 

were approved under the NIST Generic 

Clearance #0693–0078. 

A third wave of data collection is 

proposed in order to address the 

research goals as SMEs begin to recover 

from the pandemic. This effort 

addresses the gap in research on the 

experiences of SMEs dealing with 

complex events generally and those that 

arise during a pandemic, specifically. 

This longitudinal study accounts for 

SME vulnerabilities, which may further 

amplify the impacts of a singular or 

complex event. 

Proposed respondents to this data 

collection have already registered their 

interest in participation in the data 

collection (during Wave 2). The 

proposed collection is critical to 

understand the resilience of SMEs, 

which in turn allows NIST to refine 

recommendations relevant to SMEs. 

This is critical as SMEs and the 

communities in which they exist plan 

for future events while continuing to 

recover from COVID–19 impacts. 

Affected Public: The private sector. 

Frequency: Once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. The National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s Coastal Ocean Program 

(COP), now known as the Competitive 

Research Program (CRP) under the 

National Centers for Coastal Ocean 

Science, provides direct financial 

assistance through grants and 

cooperative agreements for research 

supporting the management of coastal 

ecosystems and the NOAA RESTORE 

Science Program (RSP). The statutory 

authority for COP is Public Law 102– 

567 Section 201 (Coastal Ocean 

Program). NOAA was authorized to 

establish and administer the Restore 

Science Program, in consultation with 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, by 

the Resources and Ecosystems 

Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, 

and Revived Economies (RESTORE) of 

the Gulf States Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112– 

141, Section 1604). Identified in the 

RESTORE Act as the Gulf Coast 

Ecosystem restoration Science, 

Observation, Monitoring, and 

Technology Program, the Program is 

commonly known as the NOAA 

RESTORE Science Program. In addition 

to standard government application 

requirements, applicants for financial 

assistance are required to submit a 

project summary form, current and 

pending form, and a key contacts form 

for both programs. CRP recipients are 

required to file annual progress reports 

and a project final report using CRP 

formats. The RSP are required to file 

semi-annual progress reports, a final 

report, and a Gantt chart showing 

project milestones using RSP formats. 

All of these requirements are needed for 

better evaluation of proposals and 

monitoring of awards. 

Revisions to the approved annual and 

final reports for CRP include the request 

for publication digital object identifiers 

(DOIs). Additional information 

requested for RSP semi-annual and final 

reports include end-user details. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents have a choice of either 

electronic or paper forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for the renewal and 

extension of a current information 

collection, which includes both vessel 

and dealer permits. 

Under the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible 

for management of the Nation’s marine 

fisheries. In addition, NMFS must 

comply with the United States’ 

obligations under the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 

et seq.). NMFS issues permits to fishing 

vessels and dealers in order to collect 

information necessary to comply with 

domestic and international obligations, 

secure compliance with regulations, and 

disseminate necessary information. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require 

that vessels participating in commercial 

and recreational fisheries for Atlantic 

highly migratory species (HMS) and 

dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a 

vessel obtain a Federal permit issued by 

NMFS. This action addresses the 

renewal of permit applications currently 

approved under PRA 0648–0327, 

including both vessel and Atlantic 

Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits 

include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline 

permits, which are approved under PRA 

0648–0205), HMS Charter/Headboat, 

HMS Angling, and Swordfish General 

Commercial permits. This action also 

includes the one-time requirement for 

commercial vessels greater than 20 

meters in length to obtain an 

International Maritime Organization/ 

Lloyd’s Registry (IMO/LR) number. 

The burden estimates in this renewal 

are being updated to reflect increases in 

the number of permits issued each year, 

and a $6 increase in the price of permits 

due to increased costs associated with 

maintaining and executing the program. 

II. Method of Collection 

Methods of submittal include online, 

email, and mail. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0327. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

38,205. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

Renewal of Atlantic Tunas Dealer 

Permit application, 5 minutes; renewal 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 10 minutes; initial 

Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit 

application, 15 minutes; initial 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 35 minutes; Onetime application for the IMO/LP 

number, 30 minutes.
