Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Department of Commerce
ACTION: Notice of a revised Privacy Act System of Records: COMMERCE/NOAA-19,
Permits and Registrations for United States Federally Regulated Fisheries.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the Department of Commerce (Department's) proposal for a revised system of records under the Privacy Act. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is revising its system of records for permits and non-permit registrations for use with a variety of fisheries management programs. Information will be collected from individuals under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act, the American Fisheries Act, the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Authorization Act, the Northern Pacific Halibut Act, the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFCIA; 16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq), international fisheries regulations regarding U.S. Vessels Fishing in Colombian Treaty Waters, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This revised record system is necessary to identify participants in the fisheries and to evaluate the qualifications of the applicants.
DATES: To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or before [insert date 30 days from publication in the Federal Register]. Unless comments are received, the new system of records will become effective as proposed on the date of publication of a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Sarah Brabson, NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer, Room 9856, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Brabson, NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer, Room 9856, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS is revising its system of records for permit and non-permit registrations for use with a variety of fisheries management programs. NMFS requires the use of permits or registrations by participants in U.S. Federally regulated fisheries. Information collections would be requested from individuals under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act, the American Fisheries Act, the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act, the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Authorization Act, the Northern Pacific Halibut Act, the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFCIA; 16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., International Fisheries Regulations regarding U.S. Vessels Fishing in Colombian Treaty Waters, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act and the Fur Seal Act. The collection of information is necessary to identify participants in these fisheries and to evaluate the qualifications of the applicants. NMFS would collect information from individuals in order to issue, renew, or transfer fishing permits or to make non-permit registrations. NMFS may use lists of permit holders or registrants as sample frames for the conduct of surveys to collect information necessary to the administration of the statutes cited above. The authority for the mandatory collection of the Tax Identification Number (Employer Identification Number or Social Security Number) is 31 U.S.C. 7701.
