###### Department of Commerce

The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

*Agency:*                     National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).                

*Title:*                     Alaska Region Gear Identification Requirements.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0648-0353.                

*Form Number(s):*                     None.                

*Type of Request:*                     Regular submission (extension of a currently approved information collection).                

*Number of Respondents:*                     1,692.                

*Average Hours per Response:*                     15 minutes.                

*Burden Hours:*                     3,138.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     This request is for renewal of an existing information collection.                

                    Participants in the groundfish fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Alaska are required to mark identification information on marker buoys for hook-and-line, longline pot, and pot-and-line gear. The information is needed for fishery enforcement purposes. The cooperating fishermen also use the gear identification to report placement or occurrence of gear in unauthorized areas. Fishermen marking their gear correctly ultimately benefit, as unauthorized and illegal fishing is deterred and more burdensome regulations are avoided. Regulations                           ( print page 67948)                        describing the requirements are at 50 CFR 679.24.                

*Affected Public:*                     Business or other for-profit organizations.                

*Frequency:*                     Annually.                

*Respondent's Obligation:*                     Mandatory.                

*OMB Desk Officer: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov*.                

                    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at                     *dHynek@doc.gov*).                

                    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to                     *OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov*.
