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: Vessel Monitoring System Requirements under the Western and 
Central Pacific Fisheries Convention.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0596.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 23.
    Average Hours per Response: VMS unit purchase and installation, 1 
hr; activation reports, 5 min; on/off reports, 5 min; VMS unit 
maintenance, 1 hr.
    Burden Hours: 57.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for an extension of a currently 
approved information collection. National Marine Fisheries Service 
(NMFS) has issued regulations under authority of the Western and 
Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFCIA; 16 
U.S.C. 6901 et seq.) to carry out the obligations of the United States 
under the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly 
Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean 
(Convention), including implementing the decisions of the Commission 
for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in 
the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Commission). The regulations 
include a requirement for the owners and operators of U.S. vessels that 
fish for highly migratory species on the high seas in the Convention 
Area to carry and operate near real-time satellite-based position-
fixing transmitters (``VMS units'') at all times except when the vessel 
is in port. As part of this requirement, vessel owners and operators 
must transmit: (1) ``on/off reports'' to NMFS whenever the VMS unit is 
turned off while the vessel is in port, (2) ``activation reports'' to 
NMFS prior to the first use of a VMS unit, and (3) automatic ``position 
reports'' from the VMS unit to NOAA and the Commission as part of a 
vessel monitoring system (VMS) operated by the Commission (50 CFR 
300.45). Under this information collection, it is expected that vessel 
owners and operators would also need to purchase, install, and 
occasionally maintain the VMS units.
    The information collected from the vessel position reports is used 
by NOAA and the Commission to help ensure compliance with domestic laws 
and the Commission's conservation and management measures, and are 
necessary in order to the United Stated to satisfy its obligations 
under the Convention.
    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: January 5, 2016.

NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
