Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests OMB merge the recently approved 0648-0798 information collection into the approved 0648-0595 information collection, Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Vessel Information Family of Forms. Due to the concurrent timing of the rulemaking and the timing of the renewal of the collection of information 0648-0595, Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Vessel Information Family of Forms, a temporary collection was created for the rule-related collection. This request seeks to merge the new temporary collection (0648-0798) with 0648-0595 now that all actions have been resolved.
