TThis information collection is necessary to comply with the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act (HSFCA), 16 U.S.C. 5501 et seq., which, among other things, requires U.S. vessels that operate on the high seas to possess a permit issued in accordance with Section 104 of the HSFCA and be marked for identification purposes. HSFCA also requires permit holders to report their fishing activities. NMFS proposes to revise these regulations, as shown in the attached proposed rule. The revision, per 0648-AV12, would add a transshipment declaration form and a VMS requirement, and revise the application form to this collection, but eliminate the need for the high seas fishing logbooks. This was meant to be a revision/extension, but the rule publication was delayed.

Cutting Redundancy
Program Changes: Addition of vessel photographs, EMTUs and power down requests, requests for fishery authorization, notification to observers and transshipment reporting are new requirements. Removal of logbook reporting is also a change. The information collection requirements described above result in an additional total annual response of 1,064 and total annual burden of 441 hours. The current responses and burden, under OMB Control No. 0648-0304, are 9,170 and 848 hours, respectively. Subtracting burden and cost for logbook submission, the revised current responses and burden are 1,170 and 98. Combined with the new responses and burden for this collection, the revised totals will be 1,114 and 539 hours, respectively. Total annualized costs for new requirements: $159,946 (1+117,853+60+42,000+32). When added to the current costs of $16,783, the amount after subtraction of $648 in logbook submission costs, ($15,533 for permit applications+$1,250 for vessel marking), the combined total will equal $176,729.
