SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for the revision and 

extension of a current information 

collection, which includes both vessel 

and dealer permits. 

Under the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible 

for management of the Nation’s marine 

fisheries. In addition, NMFS must 

comply with the United States’ 

obligations under the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 

et seq.). NMFS issues permits to fishing 

vessels and dealers in order to collect 

information necessary to comply with 

domestic and international obligations, 

secure compliance with regulations, and 

disseminate necessary information. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require 

that vessels participating in commercial 

and recreational fisheries for Atlantic 

highly migratory species (HMS) and 

dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a 

vessel obtain a Federal permit issued by 

NMFS. This action addresses the 

renewal of permit applications currently 

approved under PRA 0648–0327, 

including both vessel and Atlantic 

Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits 

include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline 

permits, which are approved under 

OMB Control No. 0648–0205), HMS 

Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and 

Swordfish General Commercial permits. 

This action also includes the one-time 

requirement for commercial vessels 

greater than 20 meters in length to 

obtain a International Maritime

Organization/Lloyd’s Registry (IMO/LR) 

number. 

The primary reason for the revision of 

this information collection is to reflect 

that HMS International Trade Permits 

have been removed from this collection 

as they were discontinued in 2016, and 

replaced with the International Fishing 

Trade Permit (IFTP). The IFTP is 

covered under OMB Control No. 0648– 

0732. Thus, the burden and costs 

associated with renewal and issuance of 

an initial HMS ITP are no longer 

applicable to this collection of 

information. 

II. Method of Collection 

Methods of submittal include on line, 

email, and mail. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0327. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(request for revision and extension of a 

current information collection). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

39,571. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

Renewal of Atlantic Tunas Dealer 

Permit application, 5 minutes; renewal 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 10 minutes; initial 

Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit 

application, 15 minutes; initial 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 35 minutes; Onetime application for the IMO/LP 

number, 30 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 11,063. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $947,844. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
