DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DOC)

has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Title: Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

Mandatory Catch Reporting.

Agency Form Number: None.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0328

and merges 0648–0339 and 0648–0238.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 723 hours.

Avg. Hours Per Response: Ranges

between 5 and 10 minutes depending on

the reporting requirement.

Number of Respondents: 7,735.

Needs and Uses: The purpose of this

collection of information is to comply

with the United States’ obligations

under the Atlantic Tunas Convention

Act of 1975. As a member nation of the

International Commission for the

Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, the U.S.

is required to take part in the collection

of biological statistics for research

purposes. The information collection for

the mandatory catch reporting program

(0648–0328) would be extended to

include the reporting of trophy-size

Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the

recreational fishery (currently cleared

under 0648–0239). In addition, the

North Carolina catch card program

currently cleared under 0648–0339

would be merged into this collection.

Anglers reporting under the North

Carolina program will be exempt from

the normal call-in-requirements. The

angler reports provides essential

information for management of the

fishery and ensures that the U.S.

complies with its international

obligations.

Affected Public: Individuals.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
