SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Based on the management regime specified each year, designated 
regulatory areas in the commercial ocean salmon fishery off the coasts 
of Washington, Oregon, and California may be managed by numerical 
quotas. To accurately assess catches relative to quota attainment 
during the fishing season, catch data by regulatory area must be 
collected in a timely manner. The requirements to land salmon within 
specific time frames and in specific areas may be implemented in the 
preseason regulations to aid in timely and accurate catch accounting 
for a regulatory area. State landing systems normally gather the data 
at the time of landing. If unsafe weather conditions or mechanical 
problems prevent compliance with landing requirements, fishermen need 
an alternative to allow for a safe response. Fishermen would be exempt 
from landing requirements if the appropriate notifications are made to 
provide the name of the vessel, the port where delivery will be made, 
the approximate amount of salmon (by species) on board, and the 
estimated time of arrival.

II. Method of Collection

    Notifications are made via at-sea radio or cellular phone 
transmissions.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0433.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.

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
