SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Marine Mammal Protection Act requires any commercial fisherman 
operating in Category I and II fisheries to register for a certificate 
of authorization that will allow the fisherman to take marine mammals 
incidental to commercial fishing operations. Category I and II 
fisheries are those identified by NOAA as having either frequent or 
occasional takings of marine mammals. All states have integrated the 
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) registration process into the 
existing state fishery registration process and vessel owners do not 
need

[[Page 13518]]

to file a separate federal registration. If applicable, vessel owners 
will be notified of this simplified registration process when they 
apply for their state or Federal permit or license.

II. Method of Collection

    Fishermen have their information imported directly into the Marine 
Mammal Authorization Program (MMAP) from their state. If they do not 
have a state or Federal fishery permit or license, they can request an 
MMAP registration form from their regional NMFS office and mail in the 
registration form.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0293.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 600.
    Estimated Time per Response: Initial registration 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 150.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $15,300 in recordkeeping/

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 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
