DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

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: Highly Migratory Species Tournament Registration and 
Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0323.

[[Page 81810]]

    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Average Hours per Response: Tournament registration, 2 minutes; 
tournament reporting, 20 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 600.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Under the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service 
(NMFS) is responsible for management of the nation's marine fisheries. 
Existing regulations require operators of tournaments involving 
Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS: Atlantic swordfish, sharks, 
billfish, and tunas) to register four weeks in advance of the Atlantic 
Highly Migratory Species Tournament. Operators must provide contact 
information and the tournament's date(s), location(s), and target 
species. If selected by NMFS, operators are required to submit an HMS 
tournament summary report within seven days after tournament fishing 
has ended. Most of the catch data in the summary report is routinely 
collected in the course of regular tournament operations. NMFS uses the 
data to estimate the total annual catch of HMS and the impact of 
tournament operations in relation to other types of fishing activities. 
In addition, HMS tournament registration provides a method for 
tournament operators to request educational and regulatory outreach 
materials from NMFS.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not 
for profit institutions.
    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 [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: December 28, 2015.
Sarah Brabson,
NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
