    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: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Vessel and Gear Marking.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0373.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 6,857.
    Average Hours Per Response: Vessel marking, 45 minutes; gear 
marking, 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 6,976.
    Needs and Uses: 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.

[[Page 22503]]

    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 Sec.  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.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    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 [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
