SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Foreign fishing activities can be 

authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). The 

collection of information from permitted 

foreign vessels is necessary to monitor 

their activities and whereabouts in U.S. 

waters. The reports are also necessary to 

monitor the amounts of fish, if any, such 

vessels receive from U.S. vessels in joint 

venture operations, wherein U.S. vessels 

catch and transfer at-sea to permitted 

foreign vessels certain species for which 

U.S. demand is low relative to the 

abundance of the species. 

II. Method of Collection 

Activity reports are made by radio 

when fishing begins or ceases, to report 

on transfers of fish, and to file weekly 

reports on the catch or receipt of fish. 

The foreign vessels are also subject to 

recordkeeping requirements, recorded 

and maintained for three years. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0648–0075. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. 

Estimated Time per Response: 6 

minutes for a joint venture report; 30 

minutes per day for joint venture 

recordkeeping; and 7.5 minutes per day 

for recordkeeping by transport vessels. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 88. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $500. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c)

clarity of the information to be

burden of the collection of information

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
