longitudinal effort to assess Complex
Event Resilience of Small- and Medium-
sized 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
