Draft Revised Management Plan for the
Lake Superior National Estuarine
Research Reserve
AGENCY
: Office for Coastal Management,
National Ocean Service, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION
: Request for comments on draft
revised management plan.
SUMMARY
: The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is
soliciting comments from the public
regarding a proposed revision of the
management plan for the Lake Superior
National Estuarine Research Reserve. A
management plan: Provides a
framework for the direction and timing
of a reserve’s programs; allows reserve
managers to assess a reserve’s success in
meeting its goals and to identify any
necessary changes in direction; and is
used to guide programmatic evaluations
of the reserve. Plan revisions are
required of each reserve in the National
Estuarine Research Reserve System at
least every five years. This revised plan
is intended to replace the plan approved
in 2010.
DATES
: Comments must be received at
the appropriate address (see
ADDRESSES
)
on or before December 2, 2020.
ADDRESSES
: The draft revised
management plan can be downloaded or
viewed at: https://
lakesuperiorreserve.org/management-
plan/. The document is also available by
sending a written request to the point of
contact identified below (see
FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION
).
You may submit comments by any of
the following methods:
Electronic Submission: Submit all
electronic public comments by email to
Elizabeth.Mountz@noaa.gov.
Mail: Submit written comments to
Elizabeth Mountz, Office for Coastal
Management, 1305 East-West Highway,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

Elizabeth Mountz of NOAA’s Office for
Coastal Management, by email at
Elizabeth.Mountz@noaa.gov, phone at

Silver Spring, MD 20910.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Pursuant
to 15 CFR 921.33(c), a state must revise
the management plan for the research
reserve at least every five years. If
approved by NOAA, the Lake Superior
National Estuarine Research Reserve’s
revised plan will replace the plan
previously approved in 2010.
The draft revised management plan
outlines the reserve’s: Strategic goals
and objectives; administrative structure;
programs for conducting research and
monitoring, education, and training;
resource protection, restoration, and
manipulation plans; public access and
visitor use plans; consideration for
future land acquisition; and facility
development to support reserve
operations. In particular, this draft
revised management plan focuses on
changes to facilities through acquiring
permanent housing for visiting students
and researchers; growing the sectors by
structurally supporting additional staff;
advancing geographic information
systems (GIS) and data management
priorities; and developing a formal
advisory board and strategic
relationships with the private sector in
the region.
Since 2010, the reserve has acquired
permanent facilities for the reserve’s
operations; hired core sector leads and
support staff; opened a public
interpretive center and classroom; and
expanded formal partnerships in
research and education across the
region. The revised management plan,
once approved, would serve as the
guiding document for the 16,697-acre
research reserve for the next five years.
NOAA’s Office for Coastal
Management analyzes the
environmental impacts of the proposed
approval of this draft revised
management plan in accordance with
section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), and the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations for Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
1500–1508). The public is invited to
comment on the draft revised
management plan. NOAA will take
these comments into consideration in
deciding whether to approve the draft
revised management plan in whole or in
part.

OMB Control Number: 0692–0016.
Form Number(s): NTIS FM100A and
NTIS FM100B.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: NTIS
expects to receive approximately 280
applications and renewals for
certification every three (3) years for
access to the Limited Access Death
Master File.
Average Hours per Response: 3 hours.
Burden Hours: 840.
Needs and Uses: NTIS issued a final
rule (15 CFR part 1110) establishing a
program through which persons may
become eligible to obtain access to
Death Master File (DMF) information
about an individual within three years
of that individual’s death. The final rule
was promulgated under Section 203 of
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013,
Public Law 113–67 (Act). The Act
prohibits the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) from disclosing DMF
information during the three-year period
following an individual’s death (Limited
Access DMF), unless the person
requesting the information has been
certified to access the Limited Access
DMF pursuant to certain criteria in a
program that the Secretary establishes.
The Secretary delegated the authority to
carry out Section 203 to the Director of
NTIS.
To accommodate the requirements of
the final rule, NTIS is using both the
ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form and the AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form. The ACAB
Systems Safeguards Attestation Form
requires an ‘‘Accredited Conformity
Assessment Body’’ (ACAB), as defined
in the final rule, to attest that a Person
seeking certification or a Certified
Person seeking renewal of certification
has information security systems,
facilities and procedures in place to
protect the security of the Limited
Access DMF, as required under Section
1110.102(a)(2) of the final rule. The
ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form collects information based on an
assessment by the ACAB conducted
within three years prior to the date of
the Person or Certified Person’s
submission of a completed certification
statement under Section 1110.101(a) of
the final rule. This collection includes
specific requirements of the final rule,
which the ACAB must certify are
satisfied, and the provision of specific
information by the ACAB, such as the
date of the assessment and the auditing
standard(s) used for the assessment.
Section 1110.501(a)(2) of the final rule
provides that a state or local government
office of AG or IG and a Person or
Certified Person that is a department or
agency of the same state or local
government, respectively, are not
considered to be owned by a common
‘‘parent’’ entity under Section
1110.501(a)(1)(ii) for the purpose of
determining independence, and
attestation by the AG or IG is possible.
The AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form is for the use of a state
or local government AG or IG to attest
on behalf of a state or local government
department or agency Person or
Certified Person. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form requires
the state or local government AG or IG
to attest that a Person seeking
certification or a Certified Person
seeking renewal of certification has
information security systems, facilities
and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of
the final rule. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by
the state or local government AG or IG
conducted within three years prior to
the date of the Person or Certified
Person’s submission of a completed
certification statement under Section
1110.101(a) of the final rule. This
collection includes specific
requirements of the final rule, which the
state or local government AG or IG must
certify are satisfied, and the provision of
specific information by the state or local
government AG or IG, such as the date
of the assessment.
Affected Public: Accredited
Conformity Assessment Bodies and state
or local government Auditors General or
Inspectors General attesting that a
Person seeking certification or a
Certified Person seeking renewal of
certification under the final rule for the
‘‘Certification Program for Access to the
Death Master File’’ has information
security systems, facilities and
procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required by the final rule.
Frequency: Every three (3) years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Section 203 of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public
Law 113–67.
