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: Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument 
Permit Application and Reports for Permits (fka Northwestern Hawaiian 
Islands Marine National Monument).
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0548.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 192.
    Average Hours per Response: Research, Conservation and Management 
and Education (``general'' permits), 5 hours; Special Ocean Use 
permits, 10 hours; Native Hawaiian Practices permits, 8 hours; 
Recreation permits, 6 hours; modification requests and final reports, 
10 hours; annual reports, 5 hours.
    Burden Hours: 1,343.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection. There will be minor changes 
to the forms and instructions.
    On June 15, 2006, President Bush established the 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument by issuing 
Presidential Proclamation 8031 (71 FR 36443, June 26, 2006) under the 
authority of the Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. 431). The proclamation 
includes restrictions and prohibitions regarding activities in the 
monument consistent with the authority provided by the act. 
Specifically, the proclamation prohibits access to the monument except 
when passing through without interruption or as allowed under a permit 
issued by NOAA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Vessels 
passing through the monument without interruption are required to 
notify NOAA and FWS upon entering into and leaving the monument. 
Individuals wishing to access the monument to conduct certain regulated 
activities must first apply for and be granted a permit issued by NOAA 
and FWS to certify compliance with vessel monitoring system 
requirements, monument regulations and best management practices. On 
August 29, 2006, NOAA and FWS published a final rule codifying the 
provisions of the proclamation (71 FR 51134).
    Affected Public: Individuals, not for profit institutions; Federal, 
State, local, government, Native Hawaiian organizations; business or 
other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or maintain benefits.
