Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request; Application 
Forms for Membership on a National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort 
to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on 
proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before February 9, 
2018.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 
Paperwork Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th 
and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet 
at [email protected]).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection instrument and instructions should 
be directed to Kate Spidalieri ([email protected]; 240-533-
0679).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 
U.S.C. 1445a) allows the Secretary of Commerce to establish one or more 
advisory councils to provide advice to the Secretary regarding the 
designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. Executive 
Order 13178 similarly established a Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve 
Council pursuant to the NMSA for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 
Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. Councils are individually chartered for 
each site to meet its specific needs. Once an advisory council has been 
chartered, a sanctuary superintendent starts a process to recruit 
members for that council by providing notice to the public and 
requesting interested parties to apply for the available seat(s) (e.g., 
Research, Education) and position(s) (i.e., council member or 
alternate). The information obtained through this application process 
will be used to determine the qualifications of the applicant for 
membership on the advisory council.
    Two application forms are currently associated with this 
information collection: (a) National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council 
Application form; and (b) National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council 
Youth Seat Application form. These application forms are currently 
being revised to ensure consistency between forms, as well as clarify 
the information and supplemental materials to be submitted by 
applicants. Application form instructions will specify requirements 
imposed upon the agency when reviewing applicants as potential council 
members or alternates, including the need to assess potential conflicts 
of interest (or other issues) and the applicant's status as a federally 
registered lobbyist. Specific questions posed to applicants will be 
reordered, reworded and, at times, condensed to improve the 
organization of applicant responses and, thereby, simplify the 
applicant review process.

II. Method of Collection

    Complete applications may be submitted electronically via email 
(with attachments), by mail, or by facsimile transmission.
