The collection of this information is authorized under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. 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, and vessel descriptive information. Permit holder information may be used as sampling frames for surveys, as part of Fishery
Management Council (FMC) analysis to support FMC decisions. 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. Furnishing this information is voluntary; however, failure to provide complete and accurate
information will prevent the determination of eligibility for a permit.
The National Marine Fisheries Service may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a current and valid
OMB Control number.
