DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Administration
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
Title: Atlantic Highly Migratory
Species (HMS) Recreational Landings
and Bluefin Tuna Catch Reports.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0328.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (Extension,
without change, of a currently approved
collection).
Number of Respondents: 15,761.
Average Hours per Response: 5–10
minutes per landings report; 1 hour for
state reports.
Burden Hours: 1,786.
Needs and Uses: Catch reporting from
recreational and commercial handgear
fisheries provides important data used
to monitor catches of Atlantic highly
migratory species (HMS) and
supplements other existing data
collection programs. Data collected
through this program are used for both
domestic and international fisheries
management and stock assessment
purposes.
Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch
reporting provides real-time catch
information used to monitor the BFT
fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act of 1975 (ATCA, 16
U.S.C. 971), the United States is
required to adopt regulations, as
necessary and appropriate, to
implement recommendations of the

PO 00000

Frm 00023

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
including recommendations on a
specified BFT quota. BFT catch
reporting helps the United States
monitor this quota and supports
scientific research consistent with
ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.). Recreational anglers and
commercial handgear fishermen are
required to report specific information
regarding their catch of BFT.
Atlantic billfish and swordfish are
managed internationally by ICCAT and
nationally under ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. This collection
provides information needed to monitor
the recreational catch of Atlantic blue
marlin, white marlin, and roundscale
spearfish, which is applied to the
recreational limit established by ICCAT,
and the recreational catch of North
Atlantic swordfish, which is applied to
the U.S. quota established by ICCAT.
This collection also provides
information on recreational landings of
West Atlantic sailfish, which is
unavailable from other established
monitoring programs.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations; individuals or
households; and State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion; Weekly/Biweekly; Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

Departmental Lead PRA Officer, Office of the
