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: Highly Migratory Species 

Tournament Registration and Reporting. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0323. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 110. 

Number of Respondents: 300. 

Average Hours Per Response: 

Registration, 2 minutes; reporting, 20 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: Under the 

authorization of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention 

Act, the National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) requires that operators 

of fishing tournaments involving 

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 

(HMS) provide advance identification of 

the tournament (registration) and then, 

for selected tournaments, provide 

summary information after the 

tournament is completed (reporting) on 

the HMS caught, whether they were 

kept or released, the length and weight 

of the fish, and other information. Most 

of the data required for post-tournament 

reporting is already collected in the 

routine course of tournament 

operations. The data collected is needed 

by NMFS to estimate the total annual 

catch of these species, to evaluate the 

impact of tournament fishing in relation 

to other types of fishing, and to evaluate 

the impact of HMS management 

measures on tournament operations. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; not for-profit 

institutions. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

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 Interagency Electronic 

Reporting System. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0515. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 19,084. 

Number of Respondents: 239. 

Average Hours per Response: 

eLandings registration, 15 minutes; 

landing reports, 35 minutes; production 

reports: at sea, 20 minutes; shoreside, 10 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The interagency 

electronic reporting system (IERS) was 

implemented for use in the fisheries of 

the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) requires that eLandings, the 

data entry component of IERS, be used 

as a single reporting system for 

commercial harvest and production of 

groundfish (including rockfish), Pacific 

halibut, and certain species of crab. 

eLandings allows processors and others 

to make all three required landings 

reports with a single reporting system to 

NMFS, the International Pacific Halibut 

Commission (IPHC), and Alaska 

Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). 

NMFS collects groundfish harvest and 

production data for Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) species in the 

EEZ (FMPs are prepared and amended 

as authorized by the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act). ADF&G collects harvest data for 

groundfish species taken in the State of 

Alaska (State) waters, and has 

responsibility for some fisheries in the 

EEZ, such as lingcod and black rockfish. 

ADF&G and NMFS cooperatively 

manage the Crab Rationalization 

Program fisheries. NMFS and IPHC 

cooperatively manage Individual 

Fishing Quota (IFQ) Pacific halibut in 

both State waters and in the EEZ. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Daily and weekly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
