requirements, or take estimates (with
the exception of reducing the type or
amount of take); and
(2) A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized.
Upon review of the request for
Renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.

Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1204.
Average Hours Per Response:
Registration of Anglers—3 minutes;
Registration of For-Hire Vessels—3
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 61.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
collection.
The National Saltwater Angler
Registry Program (Registry Program) was
established to implement
recommendations included in the
review of national saltwater angling data
collection programs conducted by the
National Research Council (NRC) in
2005/2006, and the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act,
codified at Section 401(g) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA), which require the Secretary of
Commerce to commence improvements
to recreational fisheries surveys,
including establishing a national
saltwater angler and for-hire vessel
registry, by January 1, 2009. A final rule
that includes regulatory measures to
implement the Registry Program (RIN
0648–AW10) was adopted and codified
in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P.
The Registry Program collects
identification and contact information
from those anglers and for-hire vessels
who are involved in recreational fishing
in the United States Exclusive Economic
Zone or for anadromous fish in any
waters, unless the anglers or vessels are
exempted from the registration
requirement. Data collected includes:
For anglers: Name, address, date of
birth, telephone contact information and
region(s) of the country in which they
fish; for for-hire vessels: Owner and
operator name, address, date of birth,
telephone contact information, vessel
name and registration/documentation
number and home port or primary
operating area. This information is
compiled into a national and/or series of
regional registries that is being used to
support surveys of recreational anglers
and for-hire vessels to develop estimates
of recreational angling effort.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA).

Type of Request: Regular submission
[revision of a currently approved
collection].
Number of Respondents: 7,184.
Average Hours per Response:
Regional surveys of fishing operations:
30 minutes; Regional surveys of other
fishing related businesses: 30 minutes;
National surveys of fishing operations:
20 minutes; National surveys of other
fishing related businesses: 20 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,200.
Needs and Uses: The revised
information collection will allow NMFS
to continue to collect information about
the impacts of and recovery from
regional and national catastrophic
events and the factors that facilitated or
impeded recovery. The impacts include
insured and uninsured damages/losses
and changes in revenue, operating costs
and employment due to those events
NMFS will collect this information from
the owners or operators of commercial
and for hire fishing vessels and from the
owners or managers of other fishing
related businesses. NMFS needs this
information to conduct the economic
and socio-economic evaluations of
catastrophic regional fishery disasters
mandated by SEC. 315(c) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA). Those and/or subsequent
evaluations based on this information
will be used by: (1) The Secretary of
Commerce in determining if a fisheries
disaster should be declared; (2) the
Department of Commerce and NOAA in
their deliberations regarding the
disbursement of the fishery disaster
relief assistance proved by Congress; (3)
NMFS to inform agency leadership,
state agencies, Congress, and
constituents about the long-term effects
of catastrophic events and the factors
that facilitated or impeded recovery;
and (4) NMFS to improve its ability to
conduct the analyses required by the
MSA and other applicable law, which
will allow for better-informed, sciencebased fishery management decisions
making.
The proposed revisions would expand
the coverage of the currently approved
information collection in two ways.
First, they would expand the types of
catastrophic events from ‘‘hurricanes
and other climate related natural
disasters’’ to events including
hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, freshwater
intrusions, severe harmful algal blooms
(e.g., red tides), extreme temperatures,
oil spills, and pandemics. Second, they
would extend the geographic scope from
the ‘‘Eastern, Gulf Coast and Caribbean
Territories of the United States’’ to all
regions and territories of the United
States. These proposed expansions are

reflected in the request to change the
title from ‘‘Assessment of the Social and
Economic Impact of Hurricanes and
Other Climate Related Natural Disasters
on Commercial and Recreational
Fishing Industries in the Eastern, Gulf
Coast and Caribbean Territories of the
United States’’ to ‘‘Data Collections to
Support Comprehensive Economic and
Socio-Economic Evaluations of the
Fisheries in Regions of the United States
Affected by Catastrophic Events.’’
NMFS will improve the survey
instruments and collection methods
based on lessons learned from
conducting and assessing the previous
information collections. The frequency
of reporting will be from one to two
times a year for each catastrophic event.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households and business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: The frequency of reporting
will be as needed from one to four times
a year for each catastrophic event.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

ACTION: Notice of public hearing
webinars.
NMFS announces the
schedule of public hearing webinars for
the proposed rule for Amendment 13 to
the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) (Amendment 13). NMFS
will provide information on the
proposed management measures and
take questions and comments from the
public. The proposed measures would
make several changes to the Individual
Bluefin Quota (IBQ) Program, including
distributing IBQ shares only to active
vessels, implementing a cap on IBQ
shares that may be held by an entity,
and implementing a cost recovery
program. The proposed measures would
also discontinue the Purse Seine
category and reallocate that bluefin
quota to other directed quota categories;
cap Harpoon category daily bluefin
landings; modify the recreational trophy
bluefin areas and subquotas; modify
regulations regarding electronic
monitoring of the pelagic longline
fishery as well as green-stick use; and
modify the regulation regarding permit
category changes.
DATES: Public hearing webinars will be
held on the dates listed below in Table
1 under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Background
Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS) are managed under the dual
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Management and Conservation
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act. Under
these authorities, regulations at 50 CFR
part 635 implement the 2006
Consolidated HMS FMP as amended
(copies are available upon request).
NMFS began the process of considering
new regulations focused on the
management of bluefin tuna in 2019,
when it announced scoping meetings
and its intent to prepare environmental
analyses under the National
Environmental Policy Act (84 FR 23020;
May 21, 2019). During 2019, NMFS
conducted scoping meetings and
subsequently began developing a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
based on public and HMS Advisory
Panel input, and relevant data.
