Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: High Seas Fishing Vessel Permit Application, Logbook Reporting, and Vessel Marking. OMB Control Number: 0648–0304. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 120. Average Hours per Response: Permits, 30 minutes; logbooks, 5 minutes; vessel marking, 45 minutes. Burden Hours: 848. Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current information collection. United States (U.S.) vessels that fish on the high seas (waters beyond the U.S. exclusive economic zone) are required to possess a permit issued under the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act (HSFCA). Applicants for this permit must submit information to identify their vessels, owners and operators of the vessels, and intended fishing areas. The application information is used to process permits and to maintain a register of vessels authorized to fish on the high seas. The HSFCA also requires vessels be marked for identification and enforcement purposes. Vessels must be marked in three locations (port and VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:21 Jan 18, 2012 Jkt 226001 starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on a weatherdeck) with their official number or radio call sign. Operators of vessels licensed under the HSFCA are also required to report their catch and fishing effort when fishing on the high seas. The requirement is for fishery management purposes and to provide data to international organizations. Vessels already maintaining logbooks under other specific regulations are not required to maintain an additional logbook. These requirements apply to all vessels fishing on the high seas. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organiations. Frequency: Annually, daily and every five years. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. OMB Desk Officer: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 1,663. Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2691 Burden Hours: 1,247. Needs and Uses: The success of fisheries management programs depends significantly on regulatory compliance. The vessel identification requirement is essential to facilitate enforcement. The ability to link fishing or other activity to the vessel owner or operator is crucial to enforcement of regulations issued under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. A vessel’s official number is required to be displayed on the port and starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on a weather deck. It identifies each vessel and should be visible at distances at sea and in the air. Vessels that qualify for particular fisheries are readily identified, gear violations are more readily prosecuted, and this allows for more cost-effective enforcement. Cooperating fishermen also use the number to report suspicious activities that they observe. Regulation-compliant fishermen ultimately benefit as unauthorized and illegal fishing is deterred and more burdensome regulations are avoided. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. OMB Desk Officer: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

OIG uses records in this system in the course of investigating individuals and entities suspected of criminal, civil, or administrative misconduct, and in supporting related judicial and administrative proceedings. OIG’s Office of Investigations (OI) maintains and manages OIG’s investigative records. The updates to the system will not involve the collection of additional categories of information, but will provide methods for data tracking and retrieval previously unavailable. The new system will enhance efficiency in the complaint intake and case tracking processes, reduce burdens of paper storage, and update protections in access and storage of information within the records system. SYSTEM NAME: COMMERCE/DEPT–12, OIG Investigative Records. SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU). SYSTEM LOCATION: U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Inspector General, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Inspector General, Regional Offices, and investigative site(s) used in the course of OIG investigation(s).
