National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


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: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Permit Family of Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0327.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 38,095.
    Average Hours per Response: HMS ITP application, termination of 
Atlantic HMS Vessel Chartering Permit, and renewal of Atlantic Tunas 
Dealer Permit application, 5 minutes; renewal applications for the 
following vessel permits--Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/Headboat, and HMS 
Angling, 6 minutes; initial Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit application, 
15 minutes; initial applications for the following vessel permits--
Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and Smoothhound 
Shark, 30 minutes; initial applications for Atlantic HMS Vessel 
Chartering Permit, 45 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 8,307.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for the revision and extension of a 
current information collection which includes both vessel and dealer 
permits.
    Under the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 
is responsible for management of the Nation's marine fisheries. In 
addition, NMFS must comply with the United States' (U.S.) obligations 
under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 et 
seq.). NMFS issues permits to fishing vessels and dealers in order to 
collect information necessary to comply with domestic and international 
obligations, secure compliance with regulations, and disseminate 
necessary information.
    Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require that vessels participating in 
commercial and recreational fisheries for Atlantic highly migratory 
species (HMS) and dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a vessel obtain 
a Federal permit issued by NMFS. Regulations at 50 CFR 300.182 require 
that individuals entering for consumption, exporting, or re-exporting 
consignments of bluefin tuna, southern bluefin tuna, swordfish, or 
frozen bigeye tuna obtain an HMS International Trade Permit (ITP) from 
NMFS. This action addresses the renewal of permit applications 
currently approved under PRA 0648-0327, including both vessel and 
dealer permits. Vessel permits include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline

permits, which are approved under OMB Control No. 0648-0205), HMS 
Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, Swordfish General Commercial, 
Smoothhound Shark, and Atlantic HMS Vessel Chartering permits. Dealer 
permits include the Atlantic Tunas Dealer permit and the HMS ITP.
    The primary reason for the revision of this information collection 
is to reflect that Incidental HMS Squid Trawl permits have been removed 
from this collection. Instead, those permits were combined with the 
information collection for the Greater Atlantic Region Federal 
Fisheries Initial Permit Application form, which is covered under OMB 
Control No. 0648-0202. Thus, the burden and costs associated with 
renewal and issuance of an initial HMS Squid Trawl permit are no longer 
applicable to this collection of information. In addition, an 
International Maritime Organization (IMO) number must now be applied 
for by those not already in possession of one.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    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 OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: June 4, 2015.
