DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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
