Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Seafood Inspection and Certification Requirements

    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 September 9, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
    Title: Seafood Inspection and Certification Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0266.
    Form Number(s): 89-800, 89-801, and 89-814.
    Type of Request: Regular submission [revision and extension of a 
current information collection].
    Number of Respondents: 1,012.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.0833 hours to complete the 
Application for Inspection Services, Surety Bond, and the contract 
completion. 0.5 hours for an Application for Appeal. 0.25 hours to 
complete the Label and Specification submission. 60 hours to submit the 
HACCP for new applicants, and 40 hours to submit the HACCP for current

    Total Annual Burden Hours: 23,067 hours.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for the revision and extension of a 
current information collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service 
operates a fee-for-service Seafood Inspection Program (SIP), available 
to all segments of the seafood industry. Participants request services 
such as product inspection, export health and legal harvest 
certification, and facility approval. Information is collected from 
participants to confirm the identity of products being inspected and 
certified, as well as to show compliance with Program requirements. The 
implementing regulations for this Program at 50 CFR 260 are being 
updated to bring the regulation more in line with current practices, 
remove outdated text, and streamline seafood inspection services. The 
last updated information collection (published January 19, 2022, with 
expiration date January 31, 2025) already included all of the changes 
proposed with this rulemaking, including the shift to online inspection 
and service requests and housing day-to-day procedures in the online 
SIP Manual versus in codified text. The information collection is being 
revised and extended to add a previously overlooked Surety form and 
adjust the burden figures.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Varies, On occasion and annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    Legal Authority: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 
operates the fee-for-service Seafood Inspection Program (SIP) under the 
authorities of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C 38), as 
amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C 742a-742j).
