Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 31, 2014 / Notices 78803 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

current information collection. These 

requirements apply to vessel owners in 

the Atlantic HMS Fishery. 

Under current regulations at 50 CFR 

635.6, fishing vessels permitted for 

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species must 

display their official vessel numbers on 

their vessels. Flotation devices and 

high-flyers attached to certain fishing 

gears must also be marked with the 

vessel’s number to identify the vessel to 

which the gear belongs. These 

requirements are necessary for 

identification, law enforcement, and 

monitoring purposes. 

Specifically, all vessel owners that 

hold a valid HMS permit under 50 CFR 

635.4, other than an HMS Angling 

permit, are required to display their 

vessel identification number. Numbers 

must be permanently affixed to, or 

painted on, the port and starboard sides 

of the deckhouse or hull and on an 

appropriate weather deck, so as to be 

clearly visible from an enforcement 

vessel or aircraft. In block Arabic 

numerals permanently affixed to or 

painted on the vessel in contrasting 

color to the background. At least 18 

inches (45.7 cm) in height for vessels 

over 65 ft (19.8 m) in length; at least 10 

inches (25.4 cm) in height for all other 

vessels over 25 ft (7.6 m) in length; and 

at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) in height for 

vessels 25 ft (7.6 m) in length or less. 

Furthermore, the owner or operator of 

a vessel for which a permit has been 

issued under § 635.4 and that uses 

handline, buoy gear, harpoon, longline, 

or gillnet, must display the vessel’s 

name, registration number or Atlantic 

Tunas, HMS Angling, or HMS Charter/ 

Headboat permit number on each float 

attached to a handline, buoy gear, or 

harpoon, and on the terminal floats and 

high-flyers (if applicable) on a longline 

or gillnet used by the vessel. The 

vessel’s name or number must be at 

least 1 inch (2.5 cm) in height in block 

letters or arabic numerals in a color that 

contrasts with the background color of 

the float or high-flyer. 

II. Method of Collection 

There is no form or information 

collected under this requirement. 

Official vessel numbers issued to vessel 

operators are marked on the vessel and 

on flotation gear, if applicable.
