SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. The success of fisheries
management programs depends
significantly on tracking catch and effort
of participants as well as their history of
regulatory compliance. The vessel
identification requirement is essential to
facilitate these objectives. The ability to
link fishing or other activity to the
vessel owner or operator is crucial to
enforcement of the regulations issued
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act to govern domestic
and foreign fishing, and under authority
of laws implementing international
treaties.
Regulations at 50 CFR 660.704 require
that all commercial fishing vessels with
permits issued under authority of the
National Marine Fishery Service’s
(NMFS) Fishery Management Plan for
United States (U.S.) West Coast Highly
Migratory Species Fisheries display the
vessel’s official number (U.S. Coast
Guard documentation number or State
registration number). The numbers must
be of a specific size and format and
located at specified locations. The
official number must be affixed to each
vessel subject to this section in block
Arabic numerals at least 10 inches
(25.40 centimeters) in height for vessels
more than 25 feet (7.62 meters) but
equal to or less than 65 feet (19.81
meters) in length; and 18 inches (45.72
centimeters) in height for vessels longer
than 65 feet (19.81 meters) in length.
Markings must be legible and of a color
that contrasts with the background. The
display of the identifying number aids
in fishery law enforcement.
In the domestic West Coast Region
fisheries regulated under 50 CFR part
660, the vessel’s official number, United
States Coast Guard (USCG)
documentation or State registration
number is required to be displayed on
the port and starboard sides of the
deckhouse or hull, and on an
appropriate weather deck. The number
identifies each vessel and should be
visible at distances at sea and in the air.
The requirements affect United States
(U.S.) vessels participating in the West
Coast Highly Migratory Species (HMS)
fisheries and West Coast coastal pelagic
species fishing vessels, with the
exception of HMS Recreational Charter
Vessels for which an exemption was
granted and became effective September
5, 2007. Charter vessels are no longer

03JYN1

42698

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 126 / Monday, July 3, 2023 / Notices

bound by the vessel marking
requirements under consideration.
The identification number provides
law enforcement personnel with a
means to monitor fishing, at-sea
processing, and other related activities,
in order to ascertain whether the
vessel’s observed activities are in
accordance with those authorized for
that vessel. The identifying number is
used by NMFS, the USCG, and other
marine agencies in issuing citations,
prosecutions, and other enforcement
actions. Vessels that qualify for specific
fisheries are easily identified, and this
allows for more cost-effective
enforcement. Cooperating fishermen
also use this number to report
suspicious activities that they observe.
Regulation-compliant fishermen
ultimately benefit as unauthorized and
illegal, unreported, and unregulated
(IUU) fishing is deterred and more
burdensome regulations may be
avoided.
II. Method of Collection
The vessels’ official numbers are
displayed on the vessels.
