SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This request is for the revision and extension of a current information collection, which includes both vessel and dealer permits. Under the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible for management of the Nation’s marine fisheries. In addition, NMFS must comply with the United States’ obligations under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). NMFS issues permits to fishing vessels and dealers in order to collect information necessary to comply with domestic and international obligations, secure compliance with regulations, and disseminate necessary information. Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require that vessels participating in commercial and recreational fisheries for Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) and dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a vessel obtain a Federal permit issued by NMFS. This action addresses the renewal of permit applications currently approved under PRA 0648–0327, including both vessel and Atlantic Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline permits, which are approved under OMB Control No. 0648–0205), HMS Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish General Commercial permits. This action also includes the one-time requirement for commercial vessels greater than 20 meters in length to obtain a International Maritime E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1 3682 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 2018 / Notices Organization/Lloyd’s Registry (IMO/LR) number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for the revision and extension of a current 
information collection, which includes both vessel and dealer permits.
    Under the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 
is responsible for management of the Nation's marine fisheries. In 
addition, NMFS must comply with the United States' obligations under 
the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). NMFS 
issues permits to fishing vessels and dealers in order to collect 
information necessary to comply with domestic and international 
obligations, secure compliance with regulations, and disseminate 
necessary information.
    Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require that vessels participating in 
commercial and recreational fisheries for Atlantic highly migratory 
species (HMS) and dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a vessel obtain 
a Federal permit issued by NMFS. This action addresses the renewal of 
permit applications currently approved under PRA 0648-0327, including 
both vessel and Atlantic Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits include 
Atlantic Tunas (except Longline permits, which are approved under OMB 
Control No. 0648-0205), HMS Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and 
Swordfish General Commercial permits. This action also includes the 
one-time requirement for commercial vessels greater than 20 meters in 
length to obtain a International Maritime

Organization/Lloyd's Registry (IMO/LR) number.
    The primary reason for the revision of this information collection 
is to reflect that HMS International Trade Permits have been removed 
from this collection as they were discontinued in 2016, and replaced 
with the International Fishing Trade Permit (IFTP). The IFTP is covered 
under OMB Control No. 0648-0732. Thus, the burden and costs associated 
with renewal and issuance of an initial HMS ITP are no longer 
applicable to this collection of information.

II. Method of Collection

    Methods of submittal include on line, email, and mail.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0327.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (request for revision and 
extension of a current information collection).
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 39,571.
    Estimated Time per Response: Renewal of Atlantic Tunas Dealer 
Permit application, 5 minutes; renewal applications for the following 
vessel permits--Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and 
Swordfish General Commercial, 10 minutes; initial Atlantic Tunas Dealer 
Permit application, 15 minutes; initial applications for the following 
vessel permits--Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and 
Swordfish General Commercial, 35 minutes; One-time application for the 
IMO/LP number, 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,063.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
