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

Agency: National Oceanic &

Title: Highly Migratory Species
Tournament Registration and Reporting.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0323.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 300.
Average Hours per Response:
Tournament registration, 2 minutes;
tournament summary report, 20
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 110
hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
the revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. Under
the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is responsible for management
of the nation’s marine fisheries. Existing
regulations require operators of
tournaments involving Atlantic highly
migratory species (HMS; Atlantic
swordfish, sharks, billfish, and tunas) to
register four weeks in advance of the
tournament. Operators must provide
contact information and the
tournament’s date(s), location(s), and
target species. If selected by NMFS,
operators are required to submit an
HMS tournament summary report
within seven days after tournament
fishing has ended. Most of the catch
data in the summary report is routinely
collected in the course of regular
tournament operations. NMFS uses the
data to estimate the total annual catch
of HMS and the impact of tournament
operations in relation to other types of
fishing activities. In addition, HMS
tournament registration provides a
method for tournament operators to
request educational and regulatory
outreach materials from NMFS. NMFS
is implementing several modifications
to the tournament registration and

reporting forms, including: (1) updating
the target species list in the tournament
registration form, (2) reporting vessel
effort by state residency status (in-state
vs. out-of-state participants), (3)
reporting of bluefin tuna catch by size
class, (4) clarifying the species for
which tournament operators are
required to report individual lengths
and weights in their post-tournament
catch reports, and (5) adding questions
regarding the depredation of tournament
catch by sharks, other fish, or marine
animals.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: Annually; on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975
(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.)
