DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


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: Pacific Islands Region Seabird-Fisheries Interaction 
Recovery Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0456.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 1.
    Average Hours per Response: 1 hour.
    Burden Hours: 3.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires longline 
vessel operators to notify NMFS in the event an endangered short-tailed 
albatross is hooked or entangled during fishing operations. Following 
the retrieval of the seabird from the ocean, as required by Federal 
regulations at 50 CFR 665.815, the vessel captain must record the 
condition of the injured short-tailed albatross on a recovery data 
form. The information will be used by a veterinarian in providing 
advice to the captain caring for the short-tailed albatross. If the 
albatross is dead, the captain must attach an identification tag to the 
carcass to assist the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 
biologists in follow-up studies on the specimen. This collection is one 
of the terms and conditions contained in the biological opinion issued 
by USFWS, and is intended to maximize the probability of the long-term 
survival of short-tailed albatross accidentally taken by longline gear.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
