SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subpart J, govern U.S. fishing in 
the Economic Zone of the Russian Federation. Russian authorities may 
permit U.S. fishermen to fish for allocations of surplus stocks in the 
Russian Economic Zone. Permit application information is sent to the 
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for transmission to Russia. If 
Russian authorities issue a permit, the vessel owner or operator must 
submit a permit abstract report to NMFS, and also report 24 hours 
before leaving the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for the Russian 
Economic Zone and 24 hours before re-entering the U.S. EEZ after being 
in the Russian Economic Zone.
    The permit application information is used by Russian authorities 
to determine whether to issue a permit. NMFS uses the other information 
to help ensure compliance with Russian and U.S. fishery management 
regulations.

II. Method of Collection

    Paper forms are used for applications. Submission of copies of 
permits, vessel abstract reports, and departure and return messages are 
provided by fax.
