The National Saltwater Angler 

Registry Program (Registry Program) was 

established to implement 

recommendations included in the 

review of national saltwater angling data 

collection programs conducted by the 

National Research Council (NRC) in 

2005/2006, and the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act, 

codified at Section 401(g) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA), which require the Secretary of 

Commerce to commence improvements 

to recreational fisheries surveys, 

including establishing a national 

saltwater angler and for-hire vessel 

registry, by January 1, 2009. A final rule 

that includes regulatory measures to 

implement the Registry Program (RIN 

0648–AW10) was adopted and codified 

in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P. 

The Registry Program collects 

identification and contact information 

from those anglers and for-hire vessels 

who are involved in recreational fishing 

in the United States Exclusive Economic 

Zone or for anadromous fish in any 

waters, unless the anglers or vessels are 

exempted from the registration 

requirement. Data collected includes: 

For anglers: Name, address, date of 

birth, telephone contact information and 

region(s) of the country in which they 

fish; for for-hire vessels: Owner and

telephone contact information, vessel 

name and registration/documentation 

number and home port or primary 

operating area. This information is 

compiled into a national and/or series of 

regional registries that is being used to 

support surveys of recreational anglers 

and for-hire vessels to develop estimates 

of recreational angling effort. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens

Type of Request: Regular submission 

[revision of a currently approved 

collection]. 

Number of Respondents: 7,184. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Regional surveys of fishing operations: 

30 minutes; Regional surveys of other 

fishing related businesses: 30 minutes; 

National surveys of fishing operations: 

20 minutes; National surveys of other 

fishing related businesses: 20 minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,200. 

Needs and Uses: The revised 

information collection will allow NMFS 

to continue to collect information about 

the impacts of and recovery from 

regional and national catastrophic 

events and the factors that facilitated or 

impeded recovery. The impacts include 

insured and uninsured damages/losses 

and changes in revenue, operating costs 

and employment due to those events 

NMFS will collect this information from 

the owners or operators of commercial 

and for hire fishing vessels and from the 

owners or managers of other fishing 

related businesses. NMFS needs this 

information to conduct the economic 

and socio-economic evaluations of 

catastrophic regional fishery disasters 

mandated by SEC. 315(c) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA). Those and/or subsequent 

evaluations based on this information 

will be used by: (1) The Secretary of 

Commerce in determining if a fisheries 

disaster should be declared; (2) the 

Department of Commerce and NOAA in 

their deliberations regarding the 

disbursement of the fishery disaster 

relief assistance proved by Congress; (3) 

NMFS to inform agency leadership, 

state agencies, Congress, and 

constituents about the long-term effects 

of catastrophic events and the factors 

that facilitated or impeded recovery; 

and (4) NMFS to improve its ability to 

conduct the analyses required by the 

MSA and other applicable law, which 

will allow for better-informed, sciencebased fishery management decisions 

making. 

The proposed revisions would expand 

the coverage of the currently approved 

information collection in two ways. 

First, they would expand the types of 

catastrophic events from ‘‘hurricanes 

and other climate related natural 

disasters’’ to events including 

hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, freshwater 

intrusions, severe harmful algal blooms 

(e.g., red tides), extreme temperatures, 

oil spills, and pandemics. Second, they 

would extend the geographic scope from 

the ‘‘Eastern, Gulf Coast and Caribbean 

Territories of the United States’’ to all 

regions and territories of the United 

States. These proposed expansions are 

reflected in the request to change the 

title from ‘‘Assessment of the Social and 

Economic Impact of 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’’ to ‘‘Data Collections to 

Support Comprehensive Economic and 

Socio-Economic Evaluations of the 

Fisheries in Regions of the United States 

Affected by Catastrophic Events.’’ 

NMFS will improve the survey 

instruments and collection methods 

based on lessons learned from 

conducting and assessing the previous 

information collections. The frequency 

of reporting will be from one to two 

times a year for each catastrophic event. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: The frequency of reporting 

will be as needed from one to four times 

a year for each catastrophic event. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens

Amendment 13 to the 2006 

Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory 

Species Fishery Management Plan; 

Bluefin Tuna Management 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of public hearing 

webinars. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the 

schedule of public hearing webinars for 

the proposed rule for Amendment 13 to 

the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly 

Migratory Species Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) (Amendment 13). NMFS 

will provide information on the 

proposed management measures and 

take questions and comments from the 

public. The proposed measures would 

make several changes to the Individual 

Bluefin Quota (IBQ) Program, including 

distributing IBQ shares only to active 

vessels, implementing a cap on IBQ 

shares that may be held by an entity, 

and implementing a cost recovery 

program. The proposed measures would 

also discontinue the Purse Seine 

category and reallocate that bluefin 

quota to other directed quota categories; 

cap Harpoon category daily bluefin 

landings; modify the recreational trophy 

bluefin areas and subquotas; modify 

regulations regarding electronic 

monitoring of the pelagic longline 

fishery as well as green-stick use; and 

modify the regulation regarding permit 

category changes. 

DATES: Public hearing webinars will be 

held on the dates listed below in Table 

1 under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Atlantic highly migratory species 

(HMS) are managed under the dual 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Management and Conservation 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act. Under 

these authorities, regulations at 50 CFR 

part 635 implement the 2006 

Consolidated HMS FMP as amended 

(copies are available upon request). 

NMFS began the process of considering 

new regulations focused on the 

management of bluefin tuna in 2019, 

when it announced scoping meetings 

and its intent to prepare environmental 

analyses under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (84 FR 23020; 

May 21, 2019). During 2019, NMFS 

conducted scoping meetings and 

subsequently began developing a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

based on public and HMS Advisory 

Panel input, and relevant data.
