Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 97 / Monday, May 22, 2017 / Notices
Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Greater Atlantic Region
manages the Atlantic sea scallop
(scallop) fishery of the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) off the East Coast
under the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The
regulations implementing the FMP are
at 50 CFR part 648. To successfully
implement and administer components
of the FMP, OMB Control No. 0648–
0491 includes the following information
collections for scallop vessel owners,
operators, and fishery participants:
Vessel monitoring system (VMS) trip
declarations for all scallop vessels,
including powerdown declarations;
notification of access area trip
termination for limited access scallop
vessels; submission of access area
compensation trip identification;
submission of access area trip exchange
forms; VMS purchase and installation
for individuals that purchase a federally
permitted scallop vessel; VMS daily
catch reports; submission of ownership
cap forms for individual fishing quota
(IFQ) scallop vessels; submission of
vessel replacement, upgrade and permit
history applications for IFQ, Northern
Gulf of Maine (NGOM), and Incidental
Catch (IC) scallop vessels; submission of
VMS pre-landing notification form by
IFQ vessels and limited access vessels
for access areas; enrollment into the
state waters exemption program;
submission of requests for IFQ transfers;
payment of cost recovery bills for IFQ
vessels; sector proposals for IFQ vessels
and industry participants; and sector
operations plans for approved sector
proposals.
Data collected through these programs
are incorporated into the NMFS
database and are used to track and
confirm vessel permit status and
eligibility, scallop landings, and scallop
vessel allocations. Aggregated
summaries of the collected information
will be used to evaluate the
management program and future
management proposals.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, monthly and on
occasion.
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

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: Foreign Fishing Vessel Permits,
Vessel, and Gear Identification, and
Reporting Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0075.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 7.
Average Hours per Response: For
permit applications: One and one half
hours for an application for a directed
fishery; two hours for a joint venture
application, and 45 minutes for a
transshipment permit; for fishing
activity reporting: 6 minutes for a joint
venture report; 30 minutes per day for
joint venture record-keeping; and 7.5
minutes per day for record-keeping by
transport vessels; for weekly reports, 30
minutes per response; for foreign vessel
and gear identification marking: 15
minutes per marking.
Burden Hours: 82.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) issues permits, under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.; MSA), to foreign
fishing vessels fishing or operating in
United States’ (U.S.) waters. MSA and
associated regulations at 50 CFR part
600 require that vessels apply for fishing
permits, that vessels and certain gear be
marked for identification purposes, that
observers be embarked on selected
vessels, and that permit holders report
their fishing effort and catch or, when
processing fish under joint ventures, the
amount and locations of fish received
from U.S. vessels. These requirements
apply to all foreign vessels fishing,
transshipping, or processing fish in U.S.
waters.
Information is collected from persons
who operate a foreign fishing vessel in
U.S. waters to participate in a directed
fishery or joint venture operation,
transship fish harvested by a U.S. vessel
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

to a location outside the U.S., or process
fish in internal waters. Each person
operating a foreign fishing vessel under
MSA authority may be required to
submit information for a permit, mark
their vessels and gear, or submit
information about their fishing
activities. To facilitate observer
coverage, foreign fishing vessel
operators must provide a quarterly
schedule of fishing effort and upon
request must also provide observers
with copies of any required records. For
foreign fishing vessels that process fish
in internal waters, the information
collected varies somewhat from other
foreign fishing vessels that participate in
a directed fishery or a joint venture
operation. In particular, these vessels
may not be required to provide a permit
application or mark their vessels. The
information submitted in applications is
used to determine whether permits
should be used to authorize directed
foreign fishing, participation in joint
ventures with U.S. vessels, or
transshipments of fish or fish products
within U.S. waters. The display of
identifying numbers on vessels and gear
aid in fishery law enforcement and
allows other fishermen to report
suspicious activity. Reporting of fishing
activities allows monitoring of fish
received by foreign vessels.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, weekly and on
occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
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.
