Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: West Coast Region, Gear
Identification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0352.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 685.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 574.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The success of fisheries management
programs depends significantly on
regulatory compliance. The
requirements that fishing gear be
marked are essential to facilitate
enforcement. The ability to link fishing
gear 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. The
marking of fishing gear is also valuable
in actions concerning damage, loss, and
civil proceedings. The regulations
specify that fishing gear must be marked

with the vessel’s official number,
Federal permit or tag number, or some
other specified form of identification.
The regulations further specify how the
gear is to be marked (e.g., location and
color). Law enforcement personnel rely
on gear marking information to assure
compliance with fisheries management
regulations. Gear that is not properly
identified is confiscated. Gear violations
are more readily prosecuted when the
gear is marked, and this allows for more
cost-effective enforcement. Gear
marking helps ensure that a vessel
harvests fish only from its own traps/
pots/other gear are not illegally placed.
Cooperating fishermen also use the gear
marking numbers to report suspicious or
non-compliant activities that they
observe, and to report placement or
occurrence of gear in unauthorized
areas. The identifying number on
fishing gear is used by the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the
United States Coast Guard (USCG), and
other marine agencies in issuing
regulations, prosecutions, and other
enforcement actions necessary to
support sustainable fisheries behaviors
as intended in regulations. Regulationcompliant fishermen ultimately benefit
from these requirements, as
unauthorized and illegal fishing is
deterred and more burdensome
regulations are avoided.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Every five years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
