collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on September
23, 2022 (87 FR 58065) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: NMFS Implementation of
International Trade Data System.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0732.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 2,380 per
year.
Average Hours per Response:
International Trade Fisheries Permits,
20 minutes; Dataset submission in
ITDS/ACE, 18 minutes; Audit Response,
30 minutes; Supply Chain
Recordkeeping, 16 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 86,793
hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of
International Affairs, Trade, and
Commerce requests a regular
submission of the extension of a current
information collection. The Security
and Accountability for Every Port Act of
2006 (SAFE Port Act, Pub. L. 109–347)
requires all Federal agencies with a role
in import admissibility decisions to
collect information electronically
through the International Trade Data
System (ITDS). The Department of the
Treasury has the U.S. Government lead
on ITDS development and Federal
agency integration. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) developed the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) as an internet-based system for
the collection and dissemination of
information for ITDS. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB),
through its e-government initiative,
oversees Federal agency participation in
ITDS, with a focus on reducing
duplicate reporting across agencies and
migrating paper-based reporting systems
to electronic information collection.
Numerous Federal agencies are involved
in the regulation of international trade
and many of these agencies participate
in the decision-making process related
to import, export, and transportation.
Agencies also use trade data to monitor
and report trade activity. NMFS is a
partner government agency in the ITDS
project as it monitors the trade of certain
fishery products. Electronic collection
of seafood trade data through a single
portal has resulted in an overall
reduction of the public reporting burden

and the agency’s data collection costs,
has improved the timeliness and
accuracy of admissibility decisions, and
has increased the effectiveness of
applicable trade restrictive measures.
NMFS is responsible for
implementation of trade measures and
monitoring programs for fishery
products subject to the documentation
requirements of Regional Fishery
Management Organizations (RFMOs)
and/or domestic laws. RFMOs are
international fisheries organizations,
established by treaties, to promote
international cooperation to achieve
effective and responsible marine
stewardship and ensure sustainable
fisheries management. The United
States is a signatory to many RFMO
treaties, and Congress has passed
legislation to carry out U.S. obligations
under those treaties, including trade
measures to support conservation. Trade
measures and monitoring programs
enable the United States to exclude
products that do not meet the RFMO
criteria for admissibility to U.S. markets.
Pursuant to domestic statutory
authorities and/or multilateral
agreements, NMFS has implemented a
number of monitoring programs to
collect information from the seafood
industry regarding the origin of certain
fishery products. The purpose of these
programs is to determine the
admissibility of the products in
accordance with the specific criteria of
the trade measure or documentation
requirements in effect. The three NMFS
trade monitoring programs originally
included in the OMB information
collection approved under Control
Number 0648–0732 are the Highly
Migratory Species International Trade
Program (HMS ITP) which regulates
trade in specified commodities of tuna,
swordfish, billfish, and shark fins; the
Antarctic Marine Living Resources
(AMLR) trade program which regulates
trade in Antarctic and Patagonian
toothfish and other fishery products
caught in the area where the Convention
on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine
Living Resources (CCAMLR) applies;
and the Tuna Tracking and Verification
Program (TTVP), which regulates trade
in frozen and/or processed tuna
products (refer to 50 CFR
216.24(f)(2)(iii) for a complete list).
Separately, NMFS initially received
approval from OMB for the Seafood
Import Monitoring Program (SIMP)
under Control Number 0648–0739.
NMFS implemented SIMP under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA). Section 307(1)(Q) of the
MSA prohibits the importation of fish or
fish products that have been harvested

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 7, 2023 / Notices
in violation of a foreign law or
regulation, or in contravention of a
binding conservation measure of an
RFMO to which the United States is a
contracting party. Under SIMP,
information on the harvest event must
be submitted in ACE as part of the entry
filing for designated fish products to
allow NMFS to determine that the fish
or fish products were lawfully acquired
and are therefore admissible into U.S.
commerce. In 2019, NMFS included
shrimp and abalone entries in SIMP,
and received initial OMB approval for
the additional reporting burden for
shrimp and abalone entries under a
separate Control Number (0648–0776).
In the 2020 collection renewal of
0648–0732, OMB granted the NMFS
request to merge all the trade
monitoring programs under one
collection, which incorporated the
reporting burdens associated with
collections 0648–0739 and 0648–0776
within the scope of 0648–0732.
Generally, these trade monitoring
programs are similar and require anyone
who intends to import, export, and/or
re-export regulated species to obtain an
International Fisheries Trade Permit
(IFTP) from NMFS; obtain
documentation on the flag-nation
authorization for the harvest from the
foreign exporter; and submit this
information to NMFS. Depending on the
commodity, specific information may
also be required, such as the flag-state
of the harvesting vessel, the ocean area
of catch, the fishing gear used, the
harvesting vessel name, and details and
authorizations related to harvest,
landing, transshipment, and export.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Federal
government.
Frequency: Annual trade permits;
electronic reports upon import/export;
provision of supply chain documents
when selected for audit.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1385, 16
U.S.C. 1826(a), 16 U.S.C. 971(a), 19
