information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Atlantic Highly Migratory
Species Recreational Landings and
Bluefin Tuna Catch Reports.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0328.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 13,402.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes for an initial call-in or internet
report; 5 minutes for a confirmation call;
10 minutes for a landing card; 1 hour for
a weekly or biweekly state report; and
4 hours for an annual state report.
Burden Hours: 1,586.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Catch reporting from recreational and
commercial hand-gear fisheries provides
important data used to monitor catches
of Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS) and supplements other existing
data collection programs. Data collected
through this program are used for both
domestic and international fisheries
management and stock assessment
purposes.
Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch
reporting provides real-time catch
information used to monitor the BFT
fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act of 1975 (ATCA, 16
U.S.C. 971), the United States is
required to adopt regulations, as
necessary and appropriate, to
implement recommendations of the
International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
including recommendations on a
specified BFT quota. BFT catch
reporting helps the U.S. monitor this
quota and supports scientific research
consistent with ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.). Recreational anglers and
commercial hand-gear fishermen are
required to report specific information
regarding their catch of BFT.
Atlantic billfish and swordfish are
managed internationally by ICCAT and
nationally under ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. This collection
provides information needed to monitor
the recreational catch of Atlantic blue
and white marlin, which is applied to
the recreational limit established by
ICCAT, and the recreational catch of
North Atlantic swordfish, which is
applied to the U.S. quota established by
ICCAT. This collection also provides
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information on recreational landings of
West Atlantic sailfish which is
unavailable from other established
monitoring programs. Collection of
sailfish catch information is authorized
under the Magnuson-Stevens Act for
purposes of stock management.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Daily, biweekly, monthly,
annual.
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@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.
Dated: April 5, 2016.
