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: Marine Mammal Protection Act Annual Supplemental Data 
Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information 
collection).
    Number of Respondents: 4,604.
    Average Hours per Response: 45 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 3,453.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a new information collection.
    The Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (Plan), developed 
under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, seeks to 
enable the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to reduce injuries 
and deaths of large whales, especially right whales, due to incidental 
entanglement in United States commercial fishing gear. In order to 
develop fair and effective management measures, the Take Reduction Team 
(Team) requires comprehensive data on when, where, and how fixed gear 
vessels fish. While subsets of Plan's vessels report on aspects of 
their operations, the available data form an incomplete picture. NMFS 
recognizes that forthcoming changes under select fishery management 
plans (e.g., the American Lobster Fishery Management Plan) may 
eventually introduce gear and activity reporting of the type requested. 
Until those requirements are implemented, however, operators of 
commercial fishing vessels deploying fixed gear (traps, pots, and 
gillnets) are requested to complete this annual supplemental data 
collection form, regardless of fishing location, permit type, or the 
provision of similar information to other Federal and state agencies. 
This information will allow NMFS to focus further risk reduction 
measures in certain areas or fisheries, where needed, to meet the goals 
of the Plan.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.

[[Page 47331]]

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    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: September 14, 2018.
