2. While fishing for CPS, vessel
operators must record all observations
of otter interactions (defined as otters
within encircled nets or coming into
contact with nets or vessels, including
but not limited to entanglement) with
their purse seine net(s) or vessel(s).
With the exception of an entanglement,
which will be initially reported as
described in #2 above, all other
observations must be reported within 20
days to the Regional Administrator.
When contacting NMFS after an
interaction, fishermen are required to
provide information regarding the
location, specifically latitude and
longitude, of the interaction and a
description of the interaction itself.
Descriptive information of the
interaction should include: Whether or
not the otters were seen inside or
outside the net; if inside the net, had the
net been completely encircled; did
contact occur with net or vessel; the
number of otters present; duration of
interaction; otter’s behavior during
interaction; and, measures taken to
avoid interaction.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSFMCA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is to ensure that conservation
and management measures promote, to
the extent practicable, implementation
of scientific research programs that
include the tagging and releasing of
Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS). The currently approved
information collection allows the public
to submit volunteered geographic and
biological information relating to HMS
releases in order to populate an
interactive Web site mapping tool. This
Web page attracts visitors who are
interested in Atlantic HMS and contains
information and links to promote HMS
tagging programs that the general public
can support or become involved with.
All submissions are voluntary.
Information is used to raise awareness
for releasing Atlantic HMS and HMS
tagging programs, and is not used as
representative results.
