Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Pacific Islands Region Vessel
and Gear Identification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0360.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 339.
Average Hours per Response: Vesselmarking for all but purse seine vessels:
45 minutes; purse seine vessels, 75
minutes; gear-marking, 5 minutes per
piece of gear.
Burden Hours: 2,348.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Regulations at 50 CFR 665.16 require
that all U.S. vessels with Federal
permits fishing for Western Pacific
fishery management unit species
display identification markings on the
vessel and gear, as specified in 50 CFR
665 and 50 CFR 300. Vessels registered
for use with a permit issued under
Subparts B through E and Subparts G
through I of 50 CFR 665, must display
the vessel’s official number on both
sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on
an appropriate weather deck. Vessels
fishing for highly migratory species in
the Western and Central Pacific
Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
Convention Area must comply with the
regulations at 50 CFR 300.217. These
regulations require that vessels must
display their international radio call
sign on both sides of the deckhouse or
hull, and on an appropriate weather
deck, unless specifically exempted.
Regulations at 50 CFR 300.35 require
that vessels fishing under the South
Pacific Tuna Treaty must display their
international radio call sign on the hull,
the deck, and on the sides of auxiliary
equipment such as skiffs and
helicopters. The numbers must be a
specific size at specified locations. The
display of the identifying numbers aids
in fishery law enforcement.
Western Pacific fisheries regulations
at 50 CFR 665.128, 665.228, 665.428,
665.628, and 665.804 require that
certain fishing gear must be marked. In
the pelagic longline fisheries, the vessel
operator must ensure that the official
number of the vessel is affixed to every
longline buoy and float. In the coral reef
ecosystem fisheries, the vessel number
must be affixed to all fish and crab
traps. The marking of gear links fishing
or other activity to the vessel, aids law
enforcement, and is valuable in actions
concerning the damage, loss of gear, and
civil proceedings.

The
purpose of the HMSMT meeting is to
finalize a preliminary analysis of the
range of alternatives for authorizing a
fishery using deep-set buoy gear
adopted by the Pacific Council in
September 2017. The HMSMT will
provide the draft analysis at the Pacific
Council’s March 2018 meeting. At that
meeting the Council is scheduled to
further refine the alternatives as needed
and adopt a preliminary preferred
alternative, if possible. The HMSMT
may also discuss updates to the HMS
Stock Assessment and Fishery
Evaluation document and HMS-related
matters scheduled on future Council
agendas.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may be
discussed, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during this
meeting. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that
require emergency action under section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent to take final action to address
the emergency.
