Activities; Submission to the Office of

Review and Approval; Comment
Request; West Coast Region Vessel
Monitoring System and Pre-Trip
Reporting System Requirements
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on April 2,
2020 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: West Coast Region Vessel
Monitoring System and Pre-Trip
Reporting System Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0498.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular [extension of
a current information collection].
Number of Respondents: 53.
Average Hours per Response: Vessel
Monitoring System (VMS) installation—
4hrs; Maintenance and repair of VMS
units—1hr; VMS activation reports, on/
off notifications, and pre-trip reports—
5 minutes each.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 157.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a current information
collection. This collection applies to
owners and operators of U.S.
commercial fishing vessels that fish in
the West Coast exclusive economic zone
and the eastern Pacific Ocean waters of
the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission (IATTC) Convention Area
for highly migratory species (HMS) as

defined by the Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) for the United States (U.S.)
West Coast Fisheries for Highly
Migratory Species, as well as a broader
group of tuna and tuna-like species
covered by the IATTC. These vessel
owners and operators are required to
submit information about their intended
and actual fishing activities. These
submissions would allow the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and
the Pacific Fisheries Management
Council to monitor the fisheries.
Submissions include pre-trip reporting
requirements and vessel monitoring
systems (VMS). Pre-trip reporting
requirements are essential for effectively
and efficiently assigning available
observer coverage to selected HMS
vessels. Data collected by observers are
critical to evaluate that the objectives of
the HMS FMP are being achieved and
for evaluating the impacts of potential
changes in fishery management. VMS
units facilitate enforcement of
management measures associated with
HMS fisheries, provide timely
information on associated fleet activities
and enable confirmation of reported
vessel fishing activity locations, which
help validate logbook record accuracy.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: One time, annually and on
occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Reauthorization Act of 2006.
