SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for an extension of a currently approved 
information collection.
    The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), as amended in 1996, provides for the nomination 
for members of Fishery Management Councils by state governors and 
Indian treaty tribes, for the designation of a principal state fishery 
official who will perform duties under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and 
for a request by a state for reinstatement of state authority over a 
managed fishery. Nominees for council membership must provide the 
governor or tribe with background documentation, which is then 
submitted to NOAA with the nomination. The information submitted with 
these actions will be used to ensure that the requirements of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act are being met.

II. Method of Collection

    State governors and Indian treaty tribes submit written nominations 
to the Secretary of Commerce, together with recommendations and 
statements of candidates' qualifications. Designations of state 
officials and requests for reinstatement of state authority are also 
made in writing in response to regulations. NMFS provides guidance on 
what information to include in order to comply with current 
regulations. See 50 CFR 600.215. No forms are used.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0314.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 275.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour to designate a principal state 
fishery official(s) or for a request to reinstate authority; 80 hours 
for a nomination for a Council appointment; 16 hours for background 
documentation for nominees.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,607.

[[Page 57455]]

    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $795 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
