Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 59 / Friday, March 28, 2025 / Notices

OMB Control Number: 0648–0513.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 16
hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 16
hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
renewal of an approved information
collection. The National Marine
Fisheries Service, Alaska Regional
Office (NMFS AKR), is the sponsor of
this information collection, which
contains the requirements for the annual
participant letter for the Aleutian
Islands pollock fishery. No changes
were made to this collection other than
updating the hourly wage rate to use the
most current rate available and to
improve consistency in the rates used
for the same respondent types in NMFS
Alaska Region information collections.
NMFS AKR manages the groundfish
fisheries in the exclusive economic zone
of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area under the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (FMP). The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) authorizes the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council to
prepare and amend fishery management
plans for any fishery in waters under its
jurisdiction.
Amendment 82 to the FMP
established a framework for the
management of the Aleutian Islands
subarea (AI) directed pollock fishery.
Amendment 82 implemented a
provision of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2004 (Pub. L.
108–199, Sec. 803) that requires the AI
directed pollock fishery be allocated to
The Aleut Corporation for the purpose
of economic development in Adak,
Alaska. The Aleut Corporation is
identified in Public Law 108–199 as a
business incorporated pursuant to the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The Aleut
Corporation’s AI pollock fishery is set
up so that harvesting pollock in the AI
directed pollock fishery and processing
pollock taken in the AI directed pollock
fishery are authorized only for those
harvesters and processors that are
selected by The Aleut Corporation and
approved by the NMFS Regional
Administrator.
The purpose of this collection is for
NMFS to obtain the list of vessels and
processors selected by The Aleut
Corporation to harvest and process its
annual AI pollock allocation. NMFS

uses this information to manage the AI
pollock fishery. Without this
information, NMFS would not know the
participants selected by The Aleut
Corporation and could not determine
harvest rates, which may result in
allocations being exceeded.
The Aleut Corporation is required by
Federal regulations at 50 CFR
679.4(m)(2) to provide its selected
harvesters and processors to NMFS for
approval. The Aleut Corporation must
submit its selections to NMFS each year
at least 14 days before harvesting
pollock or processing pollock in the AI
directed pollock fishery. The
information submitted by The Aleut
Corporation consists of the names of the
harvesting vessels and processors it has
selected, the Federal fisheries permit
numbers or Federal processor permit
numbers of these participants, and the
fishing year for which approval is
requested. No information is submitted
in years that the Aleut Corporation will
not be harvesting or processing pollock
in the AI directed fishery.
On approval, NMFS sends The Aleut
Corporation a letter that includes a list
of the approved participants. A copy of
this letter must be retained on board
each participating vessel and on site
each shoreside processor at all times.
More information on the AI pollock
fishery is provided on the NMFS Alaska
Region website at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/
sustainable-fisheries/aleutian-islandspollock-fishery-alaska.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

Administrator of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration is
authorized to conduct, develop,
support, promote, and coordinate formal
and informal educational activities at all
levels to enhance public awareness and
understanding of ocean, coastal, Great
Lakes, and atmospheric science and
stewardship by the general public and
other coastal stakeholders, including
underrepresented groups in ocean and
atmospheric science and policy
careers.’’ B–WET advances NOAA’s
mission by awarding education grants
that foster an environmentally literate
citizenry who have the knowledge,
attitudes, and skills needed to protect
watersheds and related ocean, coastal,
and Great Lakes ecosystems. B–WET
currently funds projects in seven
regions (California, Chesapeake Bay,
Great Lakes, Gulf of America, Hawaii,
New England, and the Pacific
Northwest).
To ensure that educational activities
funded by B–WET are of the highest
quality, and efficiently utilize federal
resources, B–WET has created an acrossregion, internal evaluation system to
provide ongoing monitoring of program
implementation and to identify
opportunities for improved program
outcomes. The evaluation system is
maintained by B–WET staff with
assistance from an outside contractor.
The evaluation system collects
information from B–WET programfunded grantees and project
participants.
B–WET awardees of grants or
cooperative agreements, and the
awardees’ teachers who attend
professional development programs
provided by the awardees, are asked to
voluntarily complete online survey
forms to provide data for the evaluation
system. Information collected from
awardees includes program elements
such as program duration, format,
audience, location, support and/or
materials offered, and topics covered.
Information collected from teacher
professional development participants
includes teaching methodologies,
program satisfaction, program coverage,
suggestions for improvement, and
teaching confidence. Information
collected from teachers at the end of the
school year following their participation
in a professional development program
includes time spent teaching topics
covered in the professional
development program, types of
activities used with their students,
teachers’ perceptions of student
learning, and teaching practices
utilized. One individual from each
awardee organization is asked to
complete a survey once per year of the

award, and the teacher participants are
asked to complete one survey at the end
of their professional development
program and another survey at the end
of the following school year. Responses
to the survey questions are aggregated
and analyzed as part of ongoing
evaluation efforts.
Based on a review of evaluation
system results, B–WET has made
program improvements by adjusting its
Federal Notice of Funding
Opportunities and program guidelines.
On-going data collection enables NOAA
to monitor program implementation and
outcomes on a regular basis and
supports adaptive management of the
program.
Affected Public: Business and other
for-profit organizations; not-for-profit

government; or individuals.

Title: Evaluation of SE Catch Shares
Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): [None].
Type of Request: Regular submission
[new information collection].
Number of Respondents: 913.
Average Hours per Response: 0.34
hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 310.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
a new information collection. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) proposes to conduct a survey of
catch share participants in the southeast
region. This evaluation is required by
Congress every 5 to 7 years, as
stipulated in the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA) and its subsequent
reauthorizations. The proposed socioeconomic study will examine the
performance of these programs. The
survey will collect information on
demographics, factors influencing
market transparency and efficiency,
changes in fishing and marketing
practices following the adoption of
catch share programs, and
miscellaneous attitudinal questions. The
data gathered will be used for required,
periodic evaluations of these programs
and the development of amendments to
fishery management plans, which
require descriptions of the human and
economic environment and
socioeconomic analyses of regulatory
proposals. Additionally, the information
collected will be used to strengthen
fishery management decision-making
and satisfy various legal mandates
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.; MSA), Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Endangered Species Act (ESA), and
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), and other pertinent statues.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
