PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801
et seq., the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFCIA; 16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq), the Marine Mammal
Protection Act, and the Endangered Species Act. The authority for the mandatory collection of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) is 31 U.S.C.
7701.
Purpose: In order to manage U.S. fisheries, the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires the use of permits or registrations by
participants in the United States. Information on NOAA Fisheries permit applicants and renewing holders includes vessel owner contact information,
date of birth, TIN and vessel descriptive information. Permit holder information may be used as sampling frames for surveys.
Routine Uses: The Department will use this information to determine permit eligibility and to identify fishery participants. Disclosure of this
information is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a), to be shared within NMFS offices, in order to coordinate monitoring
and management of sustainability of fisheries and protected resources, as well as with the applicable State or Regional Marine Fisheries
Commissions and International Organizations. Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in the
Privacy Act System of Records Notice COMMERCE/NOAA-19, Permits and Registrations for the United States Federally Regulated Fisheries.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information is voluntary; however, failure to provide complete and accurate information will prevent the determination of
eligibility for a permit.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT INFORMATION
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as follows: 15 minutes for the WP crustaceans permit application and 2 hours for all permit
denial appeals. Each burden includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed,
and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu,
HI 96818.
This information is being collected to ensure accurate and timely records about the persons licensed to participate in fisheries under Federal
regulations in the Pacific Islands Region. This will enable NMFS and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council to (a) determine who would
be affected by changes in management; (b) inform license holders of changes in fishery regulations; and (c) determine whether the objectives of the
fishery program are being achieved by monitoring entry and exit patterns and other aspects of the fisheries. The information is used in analyzing and
evaluating the potential impacts of regulatory changes on persons in the regulated fisheries as well as in related fisheries. Responses to the
collection are required to obtain the benefit of a license for the fishery involved (ref. 50 CFR 665.13). Data provided concerning the vessel and/or
business of the respondents are handled as confidential under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Sec. 402(b)).
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.
