DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

[I.D. 100104C]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Reporting Requirements for the Ocean Salmon Fishery off the 
Coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0433.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 10.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Based on the management regime specified each year, 
designated regulatory areas in the commercial ocean salmon fishery off 
the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California may be managed by 
numerical quotas. To accurately assess catches relative to quota 
attainment during the fishing season, catch data by regulatory area 
must be collected in a timely manner. The requirements to land salmon 
within specific time frames and in specific areas may be implemented in 
the preseason regulations to aid in timely and accurate catch 
accounting for a regulatory area. The state landing systems normally 
gather the data at the time of landing. If unsafe weather conditions or 
mechanical problems prevent compliance with landing requirements, 
fishermen need an alternative to allow for a safe response. Fishermen 
would be exempt from landing requirements so long as the appropriate 
notifications are made providing the name of the vessel, the port where 
delivery will be made, the approximate amount of salmon (by species) on 
board, and the estimated time of arrival.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and
