          - [I.D. 060600A] 

The Department of Commerce (DoC) 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).

*OMB Approval Number*: 0648-0328.                 

*Type of Request*: Revision of a currently approve collection.                 

*Burden Hours*: 955.                 

*Number of Respondents*: 8,697.

*Needs and Uses*: As a member of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the U.S. is required to take part in the collection of biological statistics for research purposes.

The mandatory catch reporting program provides current information on the vessel owners participating in the Atlantic tuna fisheries, thus facilitating the quota monitoring necessary to avoid exceeding the quota. It also aids the National Marine Fisheries Service in the enforcement of fishery regulations.
