SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) established the 

Western Pacific Fishery Management 

Council (Council), to develop fishery 

ecosystem plans (FEP) for fisheries in 

the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) 

and high seas of the Pacific Islands 

Region. These plans, when approved by 

the Secretary of Commerce, are 

implemented in Federal regulations by 

NMFS and enforced by NOAA’s Office 

of Law Enforcement (OLE) and the U.S. 

Coast Guard (USCG), in cooperation 

with state and territorial agencies. The 

FEPs and Federal regulations are 

intended to prevent overfishing and to 

ensure the long-term productivity and 

social and economic benefit of the 

resources. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 665.16, 300.35, 

and 300.217 require that all U.S. vessels 

with Federal permits that fish for 

western Pacific fishery management 

unit species must display identification 

markings on the vessel. Each Vessel 

registered for use, with a permit issued 

under Subparts B through E and 

Subparts G through I of 50 CFR 665, 

must have the vessel’s official number 

displayed on both sides of the 

deckhouse or hull, and on an 

appropriate weather deck. Regulations 

at 50 CFR 300.35 require that each 

vessel fishing under the South Pacific 

Tuna Treaty, must display its 

international radio call sign on the hull, 

the deck, and on the sides of auxiliary 

equipment, such as skiffs and 

helicopters. Vessels registered for use 

with a permit issued under Subpart F of 

50 CFR 665 and vessels fishing for 

highly migratory species in the Western 

and Central Pacific Fisheries 

Commission (WCPFC) Convention Area 

under Subpart O of 50 CFR 300, and in 

international waters under Subpart R of 

50 CFR 300, must comply with the 

regulations at 50 CFR 300.217 and 50 

CFR 300.336 requiring the display of the 

vessel’s international radio call sign on 

both sides of the deckhouse or hull, and 

on an appropriate weather deck, unless 

specifically exempted. In each case, the 

vessel’s identifying numbers must be a 

specific size and in specified locations. 

The display of the identifying numbers 

aids in fishery law enforcement. 

The regulations at 50 CFR 665.128, 

665.228, 665.428, 665.628, and 665.804 

require that certain fishing gear must be 

marked. In the pelagic longline 

fisheries, the vessel operator must 

ensure that the official number of the 

vessel is affixed to every longline buoy 

and float. In the coral reef ecosystem 

fisheries, the vessel number must be 

affixed to all fish and crab traps. The 

marking of gear links fishing or other 

activities to the vessel, aids law 

enforcement, and helps in determining 

damage to or loss of gear from the 

vessel, as well as any civil proceedings. 

II. Method of Collection 

The vessel owner or crew paints the 

identification markings on each vessel

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on August 31, 

2023 (88 FR 60184) during a 60-day 

comment period. This notice allows for 

an additional 30 days for public

Title: NMFS Observer Programs’ 

Information That Can Be Gathered Only 

Through Questions. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0593. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Revision and extension of a current 

information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 2,155. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Northeast Fisheries Observer Program 

and At-Sea Monitors, 117 minutes; 

North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut 

Observer Program and Processing 

Plants, 56 minutes; Alaska Marine 

Mammal Observer Program, 15 minutes; 

West Coast Groundfish Observer 

Program, 31 minutes; Pacific Islands 

Region Observer Program, 86 minutes; 

Southeast Fishery Observer Program, 55 

minutes; West Coast Region Observer 

Program, 62 minutes. Information will 

be collected for observed fishing trips 

and deployments to fish processing 

plants; therefore, there will be multiple 

responses for some respondents, but 

counted as one response per trip or 

plant visit. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 15,728. 

Needs and Uses: This is a request for 

revision and extension of an existing 

information collection. 

The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) deploys fishery observers on 

United States (U.S.) commercial fishing 

vessels and to fish processing plants in 

order to collect biological and economic 

data. NMFS has at least one observer 

program in each of its five Regions. 

These observer programs provide the 

most reliable and effective method for 

obtaining information that is critical for 

the conservation and management of 

living marine resources. Observer 

programs primarily obtain information 

through direct observations by 

employees or agents of NMFS; and such 

observations are not subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 

However, observer programs also collect 

the following information that requires 

clearance under the PRA: (1) 

Standardized questions of fishing vessel 

captains/crew or fish processing plant 

managers/staff, which include gear and 

performance questions, safety questions, 

and trip costs, crew size and other 

economic questions; (2) questions asked 

by observer program staff/contractors to 

plan observer deployments; (3) forms 

that are completed by observers and that 

fishing vessel captains are asked to 

review and sign; (4) questionnaires to 

evaluate observer performance; and (5) 

a form to certify that a fisherman is the 

permit holder when requesting observer 

data from the observer on the vessel. 

The information collected will be 

used to: (1) Monitor catch and bycatch 

in federally managed commercial 

fisheries; (2) understand the population 

status and trends of fish stocks and 

protected species, as well as the 

interactions between them; (3) 

determine the quantity and distribution 

of net benefits derived from living 

marine resources; (4) predict the 

biological, ecological, and economic 

impacts of existing management action 

and proposed management options; and 

(5) ensure that the observer programs 

can safely and efficiently collect the 

information required for the previous 

four uses. In particular, these biological 

and economic data collection programs 

contribute to legally mandated analyses 

required under the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (MSA), the Endangered Species Act
