PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species tournament information is required by NOAA Fisheries under authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, as amended. Catch and effort information will be used in stock assessments, to monitor total catch of species under quota management, and in reports to international
commissions with respect to catch sharing agreements. It is NOAA policy to preserve the confidentiality of information submitted under this reporting requirement, except that NMFS may release such information in
aggregate or summary form, such that individual identifiers are not disclosed (NAO 216-100). Upon request, some individual responses, stripped of personal identifiers, may be released to the public. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 22 minutes per respondent
(registration and reporting of selected tournaments), including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other suggestions for reducing this burden to the Highly Migratory Species Management Division, NOAA Fisheries, 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

Under Federal Regulations at 50 CFR part 644, persons conducting fishing tournaments for Atlantic highly migratory
species are REQUIRED to do the following:
1. All Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Tournaments MUST register using form (OMB # 0648-0323) at least four
weeks prior to commencement of the tournament;
2. If selected, tournament operators MUST submit an Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Tournament Summary Report
(OMB # 0648-0323) postmarked not later than the seventh day after the final day of tournament fishing;
3. If selected, billfish tournament operators MUST submit radio logs or catch certificates containing detailed capture
information including: tournament dates, fishing hours, name of each boat fishing that day, bait types and fight times
for all billfish captured or released, and weight, length, and sex of each billfish brought ashore.
