Paperwork Reduction Act Notification: The Commerce Trusted Trader Program application is an information collection subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. This information collection was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Control Number: 0648-0739 and expires on 12/31/2019. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or suggestions for reducing this burden to: NMFS, Office for International Affairs and Seafood Inspection, 1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

The Paperwork Reduction Act requires potential respondents for the Commerce Trusted Trader Program to be notified of certain information regarding their rights and the burden associated with applying for the program. One of the regulatory steps taken by NMFS to carry out conservation and management objectives is the requirement of a permit and reporting and recordkeeping for importers of the fishery products subject to trade monitoring programs. Section 307(1)(Q) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act authorizes the promulgation of regulations as may be necessary and appropriate to prevent the import and export of fishery products taken in violation of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, a foreign law or regulation, or a binding conservation measure of a regional fisheries organization to which the United States is a contracting party.

Name and address information of permit holders may be released via a NOAA website. Pursuant to Section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and consistent with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100 (Confidentiality of Fisheries Statistics), the Agency does not release confidential information submitted in compliance with provisions of the Act, other than in aggregate form and under circumstances required or authorized by law. Whenever data are requested or released to the general public, the Agency ensures that information on the pecuniary business activity of a permit holder is not identified. 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.

I affirm that the information on this application is accurate and complete.Signature: _____________________________________________________ Date: _____________
