SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for 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, 

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. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a new information 

collection. 

The NOAA Fisheries Office of Science 

and Technology’s Economics and Social 

Analysis Division seeks to conduct 

assessments of the social and economic 

impacts from hurricanes and other 

climate related natural disasters on 

commercial and recreational fishing 

industries in the eastern, gulf coast and 

Caribbean territories of the United 

States. It seeks to collect data on the 

immediate and long-term disruption 

and impediments to recovery of normal 

business practices to the commercial 

and recreational fishing industries. Data 

would be collected from commercial 

and recreational for hire fishermen, fish 

dealers, bait and tackle stores, marinas 

and other businesses dependent on the 

fishing industry for livelihood. The data 

will improve research and analysis of 

potential fishery management actions by 

understanding the immediate effects 

and/or long-term compounding effects 

of natural disasters on communities 

most dependent on commercial and 

recreational fishing. This data collection 

is consistent with the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act and essential for 

implementing National Standard 8, 

which calls for the sustained 

participation of fishing communities. 

II. Method of Collection 

This information will be collected by 

telephone, on-line, and in person. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
