Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Pacific Islands Short-Tailed
Albatross Recovery Data Form
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on July 16,
2024 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Pacific Islands Short-tailed
Albatross Recovery Data Form.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0456.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
[revision with an extension of a current
information collection].
Number of Respondents: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 1.25 Hrs
(1.0 for report, 0.25 for notification).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1.25.
Needs and Uses: To improve the
information collection, NMFS revised
the Short-tailed Albatross Recovery Data
Form to remove the field for hook type
as only one hook type is currently
allowed in the fishery, collect
information on hook size, collect more
details about bird bands, and request
more information about transportation
of an injured bird. We also changed the
collection’s title from Pacific Islands
Region Seabird-Fisheries Interaction
Recovery Reporting to Pacific Islands
Short-tailed Albatross Recovery Data
Form to more accurately describe the
collection and its purpose.
Federal regulations at https://
www.ecfr.gov/current/title-50/part-665/
section-665.815#p-665.815(b) require
that the operator of a vessel with a
Hawaii longline limited access permit
safely handle and release endangered
short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria
albatrus) incidentally hooked or

entangled during fishing operations. In
that event, the vessel operator must also
immediately notify NMFS, the U.S.
Coast Guard or the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS); record the
condition of the bird and other time and
location information on a Short-tailed
Albatross Recovery Data Form; attach
identical information tags to the carcass
and specimen bag if the albatross is
dead; and turn over any carcass to
USFWS within 72 hours after returning
to port. If the albatross is alive, a
veterinarian will use the information to
provide advice to the vessel operator for
caring for the bird. If the albatross is
dead, the recorded information will
assist USFWS biologists in follow-up
studies on the specimen. This collection
is one of the terms and conditions
contained in a Endangered Species Act
Section 7 biological opinion issued by
USFWS, and is intended to maximize
the probability of the long-term survival
of short-tailed albatross accidentally
taken by longline gear.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: 50 CFR 665.815(b).
