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: Pacific Islands Region Vessel 

and Gear Identification Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0360. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 344. 

Average Hours per Response: Vessel 

marking, 45 minutes except for purse 

seine vessels, 1 hour, 15 minutes. Gear, 

5 minutes for each piece of gear. 

Burden Hours: 2,352. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 665.16 require 

that all U.S. vessels with Federal 

permits fishing for Western Pacific 

fishery management unit species 

display identification markings on the 

vessel and gear, as specified in 50 CFR 

665 and 50 CFR 300. Vessels registered 

for use with a permit issued under 

Subparts B through E and Subparts G 

through I of 50 CFR 665, must display 

the vessel’s official number on both 

sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on 

an appropriate weather deck. Vessels 

fishing in the Western and Central 

Pacific Convention (WCPFC) Area with 

a WCPFC Area Endorsement, or 

required to have a WCPFC Area 

Endorsement, must comply with the 

regulations at 50 CFR 300.14 and 50 

CFR 300.217. These regulations require 

that vessels must display their 

international radio call sign on both 

sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on 

an appropriate weather deck, unless 

specifically exempted. Regulations at 50 

CFR 300.35 require that vessels fishing 

under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty 

must display their international radio 

call sign on the hull, the deck, and on 

the sides of auxiliary equipment such as 

skiffs and helicopters. The numbers 

must be a specific size at specified 

locations. The display of the identifying 

numbers aids in fishery law 

enforcement. 

Western Pacific fisheries regulations 

at 50 CFR 665.128, 665.228, 665.428, 

665,628 and 665.804 require that certain 

fishing gear must be marked. In the 

pelagic longline fisheries, the vessel 

operator must ensure that the official 

number of the vessel is affixed to every 

longline buoy and float. In the coral reef 

ecosystem fisheries, the vessel number 

must be affixed to all fish and crab 

traps. The marking of gear links fishing 

or other activity to the vessel, aids law 

enforcement, and is valuable in actions 

concerning the damage, loss of gear, and 

civil proceedings. 

Revision: New permit programs now 

require vessel and gear marking for their 

vessels. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

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 or fax to (202) 395–5806. 

Dated: October 21, 2014.
