Abstract: As part of a proposed rule, RIN 0648-AX63, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is revising procedures for United States (U.S.) importers and exporters to file documentation for certain fishery products to meet requirements of the SAFE Port Act of 2006, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, other applicable statutes, and obligations that arise from U.S. participation in regional fishery management organizations (RFMOs). Specifically, through its implementation of the International Trade Data System (ITDS), NMFS intends to establish a new electronic International Fisheries Trade Permit (IFTP) that would integrate the collection of fisheries trade documentation under three existing monitoring programs with approved information collections: Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) (50 CFR 300 Subpart G, OMB Control No. 0648-0194), Highly Migratory Species (50 CFR 300 Subpart M, OMB Control No. 0648-0040 and OMB Control No. 0648-0327), and the Tuna Tracking Verification Program (50 CFR Part 216, OMB Control No. 0648-0335). The proposed rule would consolidate existing NMFS international trade permits for regulated seafood products subject to these three programs, expand the scope of the permit requirement to additional seafood products covered under the Tuna Tracking Verification Program, stipulate data and documentation which must be provided electronically to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to determine admissibility, and address recordkeeping requirements in light of the proposed changes.
