I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
current information collection. These
requirements apply to vessel owners in
the Atlantic HMS Fishery.
Under current regulations at 50 CFR
635.6, fishing vessels permitted for
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species must
display their official vessel numbers on
their vessels. Flotation devices and
high-flyers attached to certain fishing
gears must also be marked with the
vessel’s number to identify the vessel to
which the gear belongs. These
requirements are necessary for
identification, law enforcement, and
monitoring purposes.
Specifically, all vessel owners that
hold a valid HMS permit under 50 CFR
635.4, other than an HMS Angling
permit, are required to display their
vessel identification number. Numbers
must be permanently affixed to, or
painted on, the port and starboard sides
of the deckhouse or hull and on an
appropriate weather deck, so as to be
clearly visible from an enforcement
vessel or aircraft. In block Arabic
numerals permanently affixed to or
painted on the vessel in contrasting
color to the background. At least 18
inches (45.7 cm) in height for vessels
over 65 ft (19.8 m) in length; at least 10
inches (25.4 cm) in height for all other
vessels over 25 ft (7.6 m) in length; and
at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) in height for
vessels 25 ft (7.6 m) in length or less.
Furthermore, the owner or operator of
a vessel for which a permit has been
issued under § 635.4 and that uses
handline, buoy gear, harpoon, longline,
or gillnet, must display the vessel’s
name, registration number or Atlantic
Tunas, HMS Angling, or HMS Charter/
Headboat permit number on each float
attached to a handline, buoy gear, or
harpoon, and on the terminal floats and
high-flyers (if applicable) on a longline
or gillnet used by the vessel. The
vessel’s name or number must be at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) in height in block
letters or arabic numerals in a color that
contrasts with the background color of
the float or high-flyer.
