Abstract: The 1982 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (Convention) established the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The United States (U.S.) is a Contracting Party to the Convention. The Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act (AMLRCA) directs and authorizes the U.S. to take actions necessary to meet its treaty obligations as a Contracting Party to the Convention. The regulations implementing AMLRCA are at 50 CFR part 300, subpart G. The record keeping and reporting requirements at 50 CFR part 300 form the basis for this collection of information. This collection of information concerns research in, and the harvesting and importation of, marine living resources from waters regulated by CCAMLR related to ecosystem research, U.S. harvesting permit application and/or harvesting vessel operators and to importers and re-exporters of Antarctic marine living resources. The collection is necessary in order for the U.S. to meet its treaty obligations as a contracting party to the Convention.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The sponsor and NOAA PRA Clearance Officer collaborated to perform a thorough scrub of the IC information contained in ROCIS. Program Change: The Dealer import and/or re-export permit applications is no longer a valid collection and was removed. This is a decrease of 92 responses, 23 burden hours, and 42 cost burden. Adjustments: The Pre-approval of toothfish catch documents/reporting docs if fresh/importing was merged with the Shipments of Fresh Toothfish collection as more appropriate. Merging the Pre-approval of toothfish catch documents/reporting docs if fresh/importing with the Reporting Form for Shipments of Fresh Toothfish increases the burdens as follows: responses increase by 640; Total annual burden hours increase by 160; and total annual cost burden increases by $128,352. The remaining adjustments were to costs of supplies and postage. Adjustments were also made to VMS transmission costs, which accounts for $2,678 of the $3,359 in increased cost burden.
