Public Burden Statement

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0648-0595. Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection.

The authority for this information collection is the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (6 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.). The information collected is needed to satisfy the obligations of the United States as a member of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission.
