46040 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 3, 2017 / Notices 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

current information collection. 

The Cooperative Game Fish Tagging 

Program was initiated in 1971 as part of 

a comprehensive research program 

resulting from passage of Public Law 

86–359, Study of Migratory Game Fish, 

and other legislative acts under which 

the National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) operates. The Cooperative 

Tagging Center attempts to determine 

the migration patterns of, and other 

biological information for, billfish, 

tunas, and swordfish. The fish tagging 

report is provided to the angler with the 

tags, and he/she fills out the card with 

the information when a fish is tagged 

and mails it to NMFS. Information on 

each species is used by NMFS to 

determine migratory patterns, distance 

traveled, stock boundaries, age, and 

growth. These data are necessary input 

for developing management criteria by 

regional fishery management councils, 

states, and NMFS. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information is submitted by mail, and 

occasionally, international anglers scan 

the report cards and submit them via 

email to tagging@noaa.gov. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0247. 

Form Number(s): NOAA Form 88– 

162. 

Type of Review: Regular submission

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden
