Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices 32285 

U.S.C. 1951 et seq.) as amended by the 

Marine Debris Act Amendments of 2012 

(Pub. L. 112–213, Title VI, Sec. 603, 126 

Stat. 1576, December 20, 2012) outlines 

three central program components for 

the MDP to undertake: (1) Mapping, 

identification, impact assessment, 

removal, and prevention; (2) reducing 

and preventing fishing gear loss; and (3) 

outreach to stakeholders and the general 

public. To address these components, 

the Marine Debris Act authorized the 

MDP to establish several competitive 

grant programs on marine debris 

research, prevention and removal that 

provide federal funding to non-federal 

applicants throughout the coastal 

United States and territories. 

The terms and conditions of the 

financial assistance awarded through 

these grant programs require regular 

progress reporting and communication 

of project accomplishments to MDP. 

Progress reports contain information 

related to, among other things, the 

overall short and long-term goals of the 

project, project methods and monitoring 

techniques, actual accomplishments 

(such as pounds of debris removed from 

an ecosystem, numbers of volunteers 

participating in a cleanup project, etc.), 

status of approved activities, challenges 

or potential roadblocks to future 

progress, and lessons learned. This 

information collection enables MDP to 

monitor and evaluate the activities 

supported by federal funds to ensure 

accountability to the public and to 

ensure that funds are used consistent 

with the purpose for which they were 

appropriated. It also ensures that 

reported information is standardized in 

such a way that allows for it to be 

meaningfully synthesized across a 

diverse set of projects and project types. 

MDP uses the information collected in 

a variety of ways to communicate with 

federal and non-federal partners and 

stakeholders on individual project and 

general program accomplishments. 

Revision: A section has been added to 

the report form, but there is no change 

to burden. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions; business or other for-profit 

organizations; state, local or tribal 

government. 

Frequency: Semiannual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to OIRA_Submission@

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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: Highly Migratory Species 

Dealer, Importer, and Exporter 

Reporting Family of Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0040. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 10,391. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

minutes for catch document/statistical 

document/re-export certificate 

validation by government official; 120 

minutes for authorization of nongovernmental catch document/statistical 

document/re-export certificate 

validation; 2 minutes for daily Atlantic 

bluefin tuna landing reports; 3 minutes 

for daily Atlantic bluefin tuna landing 

reports from pelagic longline and purse 

seine vessels; 1 minute for Atlantic 

bluefin tuna tagging; 15 minutes for 

biweekly Atlantic bluefin tuna dealer 

landing reports; 15 minutes for HMS 

international trade biweekly reports; 15 

minutes for weekly electronic HMS 

dealer landing reports (e-dealer); 5 

minutes for negative weekly electronic 

HMS dealer landing reports (e-dealer); 

15 minutes for voluntary fishing vessel 

and catch forms; 2 minutes for provision 

of HMS dealer email address. 

Burden Hours: 18,552. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

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.), the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible 

for management of the Nation’s marine 

fisheries. NMFS must also promulgate 

regulations, as necessary and 

appropriate, to carry out obligations the 

United States (U.S.) undertakes 

internationally regarding tuna 

management through the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act (ATCA, 16 U.S.C. 971 et 

seq.). 

This collection serves as a family of 

forms for Atlantic highly migratory 

species (HMS) dealer reporting, 

including purchases of HMS from 

domestic fishermen, and the import, 

export, and/or re-export of HMS, 

including federally managed tunas, 

sharks, and swordfish. 

Transactions covered under this 

collection include purchases of Atlantic 

HMS from domestic fishermen; and the 

import/export of all bluefin tuna, frozen 

bigeye tuna, southern bluefin tuna or 

swordfish under the HMS International 

Trade Program, regardless of geographic 

area of origin. This information is used 

to monitor the harvest of domestic 

fisheries, and/or track international 

trade of internationally managed 

species. 

The domestic dealer reporting 

covered by this collection includes 

weekly electronic landing reports and 

negative reports (i.e., reports of no 

activity) of Atlantic swordfish, sharks, 

bigeye tuna, albacore, yellowfin, and 

skipjack tunas (collectively referred to 

as BAYS tunas), and biweekly and 

electronic daily landing reports for 

bluefin tuna, including tagging of 

individual fish. Because of the recent 

development of an individual bluefin 

quota (IBQ) management system (RIN 

0648–BC09), electronic entry of IBQrelated landing data is required for 

Atlantic bluefin tuna purchased from 

Longline and Purse seine category 

vessels. NMFS intends to consider 

integrating the electronic dealer 

reporting for bluefin tuna and electronic 

reporting for the IBQ system; however, 

at this time, dealers must submit limited 

bluefin tuna landings data to both 

NMFS systems for purse seine and 

pelagic longline vessels. 

International trade tracking programs 

are required by both the International 

Commission for the Conservation of 

Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the InterAmerican Tropical Tuna Commission 

(IATTC) to account for all international 

trade of covered species. The U.S. is a 

member of ICCAT and IATTC and 

required by ATCA and the Tunas 

Convention Act (16 U.S.C. 951 et. seq., 

consecutively) to promulgate 

regulations as necessary and appropriate 

to implement ICCAT and IATTC 

recommendations. These programs 

require that a statistical document or 

catch document accompany each export 

from and import to a member nation, 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
32286 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices 

and that a re-export certificate 

accompany each re-export. The 

international trade reporting 

requirements covered by this collection 

include implementation of catch 

document, statistical document, and reexport certificate trade tracking 

programs for bluefin tuna, frozen bigeye 

tuna, and swordfish. An electronic catch 

document program for bluefin tuna 

(EBCD) was recommended by ICCAT 

and implemented by the United States 

in 2016 (0648–BF17). U.S. regulations 

implementing ICCAT statistical 

document and catch document 

programs require statistical documents 

and catch documents for international 

transactions of the covered species from 

all ocean areas, so Pacific imports and 

exports must also be accompanied by 

statistical documents and catch 

documents. Since there are statistical 

document programs in place under 

other international conventions (e.g., the 

Indian Ocean Tuna Commission), a 

statistical document or catch document 

from another program may be used to 

satisfy the statistical document 

requirement for imports into the United 

States. Revision: These statistical and 

catch documents are now covered under 

OMB Control No. 0648–0732, but their 

validation is still part of this 

information collection. 

Dealers who internationally trade 

Southern bluefin tuna are required to 

participate in a trade tracking program 

to ensure that imported Atlantic and 

Pacific bluefin tuna will not be 

intentionally mislabeled as ‘‘southern 

bluefin’’ to circumvent reporting 

requirements. This action is authorized 

under ATCA, which provides for the 

promulgation of regulations as may be 

necessary and appropriate to carry out 

ICCAT recommendations. 

In addition to statistical document, 

catch document, and re-export 

certificate requirements, this collection 

includes biweekly reports to 

complement trade tracking statistical 

documents by summarizing statistical 

document data and collecting additional 

economic information. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Weekly and biweekly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Commerce collections currently under
