published in the Federal Register (82
FR 51822) that a request for an
amendment Permit No. 21158 to
conduct research on Weddell seals had
been submitted by the above-named
applicant. The requested permit
amendment has been issued under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The permit amendment authorizes an
increase in takes of seal pups authorized
to be flipper tagged from a total of 675
to a total take of 1,000 pups. This field
season the research team has observed
an abnormally high number of pups and
current take numbers are not be
adequate to meet the stated scientific
goals of tagging all pups produced in the
Erebus Bay colonies each year. This
increase is only for the 2017–18 field
season and not for the duration of the
permit. At the end of the public
comment period, we will assess all

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: Pacific Halibut Fisheries:
Charter Permits.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0592.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision
and extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 236.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours
for Application for Transfer of Charter
Halibut Permit; 0.5 hours for
Application for Military Charter Permit;
2 hours for Application for Transfer
between IFQ and Guided Angler Fish
(GAF); and 4 hours for Appeals if an
Application for Transfer between IFQ
and GAF is denied by NMFS.
Burden Hours: 559.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The Alaska Pacific Halibut Charter
Program established Federal Charter
Halibut Permits (CHPs) for operators in
the charter halibut fishery in IPHC
regulatory Areas 2C (Southeast Alaska)
and 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska). Since
February 1, 2011, all vessel operators in
Areas 2C and 3A with charter anglers
onboard catching and retaining Pacific
halibut must have a valid CHP onboard
during every charter vessel fishing trip.
CHPs must be endorsed with the
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
appropriate regulatory area and number
of anglers.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) implemented this program
based on recommendations by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council to
meet allocation objectives in the charter
halibut fishery. This program provides
stability in the fishery by limiting the
number of charter vessels that may
participate in Areas 2C and 3A and
decreasing the overall number of
available CHPs over time. The program
goals are to increase the value of the
resource, limit boats to qualified active
participants in the guided sport halibut
sector, and enhance economic stability
in rural coastal communities.
An appeal letter was inadvertently
removed from this collection
previously, now reinstated.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals and
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
