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: U.S.-Canada Albacore Treating Reporting System.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0492.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 135.
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes for the request to be placed 
on the eligible list per year; 5 minutes for required vessel markings; 
15 minutes for logbook entries; 10 minutes for each set of two hail 
reports for border crossings per year.
    Burden Hours: 839.
    Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), West 
Coast Region, manages the United States (U.S.)-Canada Albacore Tuna 
Treaty of 1981 (Treaty). Owners of vessels that fish from U.S. West 
Coast ports for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) are required to notify 
the NMFS West Coast Region of their desire to be on the list of vessels 
provided to Canada each year indicating vessels eligible to fish for 
albacore tuna in waters under the jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally, 
vessel operators are required to report in advance their intention to 
fish in Canadian waters prior to crossing the maritime border, as well 
as to mark their fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement of the 
effort limits under the Treaty. Vessel operators are also required to 
maintain and submit a logbook of all catch and fishing effort. The 
regulations implementing the reporting and vessel marking requirements 
under the Treaty are at 50 CFR part 300.172-300.176.
    The estimated burden below includes hours to complete the logbook 
requirement, although it is assumed that most if not all of the 
respondents already complete the required logbook under the mandatory 
West Coast Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (HMS FMP), 
OMB Control No. 0648-0223. Duplicate reporting under the Treaty and HMS 
FMP is not required. Most years, there will be much

[[Page 21985]]

less fishing (and thus less reporting) under the Treaty than the level 
on which the estimate is based.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: 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: May 8, 2017.

NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
