I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information

    Pursuant to the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection

the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires that other fish 
or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import 
prohibitions must be accompanied by documentation of admissibility. A 
duly authorized official/agent of the applicant's Government must 
certify that the fish in the shipments being imported into the United 
States (U.S.) are of a species that are not subject to an import 
restriction of the U.S. If a nation is identified under the Moratorium 
Protection Act and fails to receive a certification decision from the 
Secretary of Commerce, products from that nation that are not subject 
to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by the documentation of 
admissibility.
