Abstract: This request is for the revision and extension of OMB Control Number: 0648-0335, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce (IATC). Currently, OMB Control Number 0648-0335 includes one information collection: the Fisheries Certificate of Origin (FCO; also known as the NOAA Form 370). The revision will transfer five (5) information collections included under OMB Control Number 0648-0387, sponsored by NMFS, West Coast Region (WCR), to 0648-0335. The purpose of this transfer is to more accurately reflect how the information is being managed. The five information collections being transferred will be removed from 0648-0387 during its next renewal process and included under 0648-0335 going forward. There are no substantive changes to either the Fisheries Certificate of Origin, or the five information collections being transferred from 0648-0387.
