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: Billfish Certificate of Eligibility.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0216.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Average Hours per Response: 20 minutes for initial completion of 
certificate and 2 minutes for subsequent billfish purchase 
recordkeeping.
    Burden Hours: 43.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for an 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.), NOAA is responsible for 
management of the Nation's marine fisheries. In addition, NOAA must 
comply with the United States' (U.S.) obligations under the Atlantic 
Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). A Certificate of 
Eligibility (COE) for Billfishes is required under 50 CFR part 635 to 
accompany all billfish, except for a billfish landed in a Pacific state 
and remaining in the state of landing. This documentation certifies 
that the accompanying billfish was not harvested from the applicable 
Atlantic Ocean management unit (described on the NOAA sample 
certificate), and identifies the vessel landing the billfish, the 
vessel's homeport, the port of offloading, and the date of offloading. 
The certificate must accompany the billfish to any dealer or processor 
who subsequently receives or possesses the billfish. A standard 
certificate format is not currently required to document the necessary 
information, provided it contains all of the information required. The 
extension of this collection is necessary to implement the Consolidated 
Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan, which contains 
conservation and management measures that limit the Atlantic billfish 
fishery to a recreational fishery.
    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: December 6, 2017.
Sarah Brabson,
NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
