The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) seeks extension of a currently approved information collection affecting high seas fishing vessels. This information collection is necessary to comply with the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act (HSFCA), 16 U.S.C. 5501 et seq., which, among other things, requires U.S. vessels that operate on the high seas to possess a permit issued in accordance with Section 104 of the HSFCA and be marked for identification purposes. HSFCA also requires permit holders to report their fishing activities.

The latest form for High Seas Fishing Permit Application, Logbook Reporting and Vessel Marking expires 2028-04-30 and is listed under ICR 202502-0648-005.
