Abstract The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Region (SWR), 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 will be required to notify NMFS SWR 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. II. Method of Collection BILLING CODE 3510–22–P SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests to be placed on the vessel eligibility list may be made in writing via mail, fax, by e-mail, or by telephone. Communications to comply with ‘hail in’ and ‘hail out’ requirements are made via ship to shore radio or via telephone and are compiled in an electronic database by Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Summaries of hail reports are provided to NMFS on a periodic basis. Vessel marking requirements entail painting the letter ‘U’ immediately after the U.S. Coast Guard documentation identification number already on the vessel. Logbooks are maintained in pre-printed paper format and submitted via mail. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0492. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Regular submission.
