Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of the
comment period.
AGENCY:
The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) is announcing
an extension to the comment period for
the proposed rule on a seafood import
monitoring program published in the
Federal Register on February 5, 2016.
The comment period is being extended
from April 5, 2016 to April 12, 2016.
Pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA), this proposed rule would
establish filing and recordkeeping
procedures relating to the importation of
certain fish and fish products, in order
to implement the MSA’s prohibition on
the import and trade, in interstate or
foreign commerce, of fish taken,
possessed, transported or sold in
violation of any foreign law or
regulation. The information to be filed
is proposed to be collected at the time
of entry, and makes use of an electronic
single window consistent with the
Safety and Accountability for Every
(SAFE) Port Act of 2006 and other
applicable statutes. Specifically, NMFS
proposes to integrate collection of catch
and landing documentation for certain
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

fish and fish products within the
government-wide International Trade
Data System (ITDS) and require
electronic information collection
through the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) maintained by the
Department of Homeland Security,
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Under these procedures, NMFS would
require an annually renewable
International Fisheries Trade Permit
(IFTP) and specific data for certain fish
and fish products to be filed and
retained as a condition of import to
enable the United States to exclude the
entry into commerce of products of
illegal fishing activities. The
information to be collected and retained
will help authorities verify that the fish
or fish products were lawfully acquired
by providing information that traces
each import shipment from point of
harvest to entry-into commerce. The
rule will also decrease the incidence of
seafood fraud by collecting information
at import and requiring retention of
documentation so that the information
reported (e.g., regarding species and
harvest location) can be verified. This
proposed rule stipulates the catch and
landing data for imports of certain fish
and fish products which would be
required to be submitted electronically
to NMFS through ACE and the
requirements for recordkeeping
concerning such imports.
DATES: Written comments on the
proposed rule published February 5,
2016 (81 FR 6210) must be received on
or before April 12, 2016.
