SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

current information collection 

sponsored by NMFS’ WCR. The 

information required by the 

International Dolphin Conservation 

Program Act, amendment to the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act, is needed to: 

(1) Document the dolphin-safe status of 

tuna import shipments; (2) verify that 

import shipments of fish were not 

harvested by large-scale, high seas 

driftnets; and (3) verify that tuna was 

not harvested by an embargoed nation 

or one that is otherwise prohibited from 

exporting tuna to the United States. 

Collected information includes the U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection Entry 

Identification, date of entry, and contact 

details on the exporting and importing 

companies. 

Collected information also includes 

harvest characteristics such as fishing 

vessel name, fishing trip dates, vessel 

flag, vessel gear type, and ocean area of 

harvest, as well as the declaration of the 

dolphin safe status of the shipment, and 

if applicable, the attachment of required 

certifications. Forms are submitted by 

importers and processors. NMFS uses 

this information to verify the dolphinsafe status of tuna shipments. 

II. Method of Collection 

Importing respondents are required to 

submit the form electronically to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection before or 

at the time of importation via the 

Automated Commercial Environment as 

per regulations at 50 CFR 216.24(f)(2). 

Domestic processors typically submit 

the forms monthly via email as per 

regulations at 50 CFR 216.93(d)(2).

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RSC 

is hosting a workshop to develop 

recommendations for the possible 

redevelopment of the Council’s RSA 

program. This is the final workshop in 

a series four that scoped out research, 

funding, and enforcement/ 

administration issues and problems 

associated with the previous RSA 

program and identified possible 

considerations and improvements 

should a new program be redeveloped. 

During this workshop, participants will 

review and provide feedback on the 

recommendations identified from the 

first three workshops, draft program 

goals and objectives, and an initial draft 

strawman of a newly designed RSA 

program developed by the RSC. Based 

on the feedback and input received 

during the workshop, the RSC will then 

make final recommendations regarding 

the potential redevelopment of the RSA 

program to the Council for 

consideration later in 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report that compiles 

and evaluates potential datasets and 

recommends which datasets are 

appropriate for assessment analyses. 

The product of the Assessment Process 

is a stock assessment report that 

describes the fisheries, evaluates the 

status of the stock, estimates biological 

benchmarks, projects future population 

conditions, and recommends research 

and monitoring needs. The assessment 

is independently peer reviewed at the 

Review Workshop. The product of the 

Review Workshop is a Summary 

documenting panel opinions regarding 

the strengths and weaknesses of the 

stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

HMS Management Division, and 

Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 

Participants include data collectors and 

database managers; stock assessment 

scientists, biologists, and researchers; 

constituency representatives including 

fishermen, environmentalists, and 

NGO’s; International experts; and staff 

of Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion in the 

webinar are as follows: 

Participants will discuss and make 

recommendations regarding what 

indices data may be included in the 

assessment of U.S. Caribbean queen 

triggerfish. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the intent to take final action 

to address the emergency.
