SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This request is for extension, without change, of a current information collection. The purpose of this collection of information is to comply with the requirements of the International Dolphin Conservation Program Act (IDCPA), 16 U.S.C. 1414. The IDCPA amended the Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act (DPCIA), 16 U.S.C. 1385. The IDCPA and the DPCIA authorize the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate regulations that implement the dolphin-safe labeling standard in the United States (U.S.) by the collection of documents on the dolphin-safe status of tuna import shipments and domestic tuna product processing; by allowing documentary requests to allow for an effective tracking and verification program; and by verifying that tuna was not harvested by a nation under embargo or otherwise prohibited from exporting tuna to the United States. This collection of information also complies with the requirements of the Tuna Conventions Act (TCA), 16 U.S.C. 951 et seq., which was amended by the ‘‘Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act of 2015’’ (Pub. L. 114–81). The TCA gives the Secretary of Commerce the authority to enact regulations to fulfill the requirement that all member States maintain and provide to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) a list of vessels flagged by the member State and (1) authorized by the member State to be used for fishing for tuna and tuna-like species in the IATTC Convention Area, or (2) authorized by other States to be used for fishing for tuna and tuna-like species in their areas of jurisdiction in the IATTC Area, and to maintain and provide for each vessel on that list certain information on its characteristics and its owner and operator. The TCA also gives the Secretary of Commerce authority to implement fishery management resolutions of the IATTC. The International Dolphin Conservation Program Act (Act) allows entry of yellowfin tuna into the United States (U.S.), under specific conditions, E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 31, 2022 / Notices from nations in the International Dolphin Conservation Program that would otherwise be under embargo. The Act also allows U.S. fishing vessels to participate in the yellowfin tuna fishery in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) on terms equivalent with the vessels of other nations. NOAA collects information to allow tracking and verification of ‘‘dolphin-safe’’ and ‘‘nondolphin safe’’ tuna products from catch through the U.S. market. The information is used by NMFS, the United States Coast Guard (USGC), and the IATTC to monitor the size and composition of the vessel fleets in the IATTC Convention Area for compliance and scientific-related purposes. Knowing such information as the number of vessels, the details of the vessels and their ownership, and the types of gear employed enables effective monitoring of vessel activity for enforcement and assessment purposes. NMFS also uses this information for the purposes of management the U.S. purse seine fleet capacity in the IATTC Convention Area. This collection includes permit applications, notifications, tuna tracking forms, reports, and certifications that provide information on vessel characteristics and operations in the ETP, the origin of tuna and tuna products, chain of custody recordkeeping requirements and certain other information necessary to implement the Act. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension, without change, of a current 
information collection. The purpose of this collection of information 
is to comply with the requirements of the International Dolphin 
Conservation Program Act (IDCPA), 16 U.S.C. 1414. The IDCPA amended the 
Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act (DPCIA), 16 U.S.C. 1385. 
The IDCPA and the DPCIA authorize the Secretary of Commerce to 
promulgate regulations that implement the dolphin-safe labeling 
standard in the United States (U.S.) by the collection of documents on 
the dolphin-safe status of tuna import shipments and domestic tuna 
product processing; by allowing documentary requests to allow for an 
effective tracking and verification program; and by verifying that tuna 
was not harvested by a nation under embargo or otherwise prohibited 
from exporting tuna to the United States.
    This collection of information also complies with the requirements 
of the Tuna Conventions Act (TCA), 16 U.S.C. 951 et seq., which was 
amended by the ``Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing 
Enforcement Act of 2015'' (Pub. L. 114-81). The TCA gives the Secretary 
of Commerce the authority to enact regulations to fulfill the 
requirement that all member States maintain and provide to the Inter-
American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) a list of vessels flagged by 
the member State and (1) authorized by the member State to be used for 
fishing for tuna and tuna-like species in the IATTC Convention Area, or 
(2) authorized by other States to be used for fishing for tuna and 
tuna-like species in their areas of jurisdiction in the IATTC Area, and 
to maintain and provide for each vessel on that list certain 
information on its characteristics and its owner and operator. The TCA 
also gives the Secretary of Commerce authority to implement fishery 
management resolutions of the IATTC.
    The International Dolphin Conservation Program Act (Act) allows 
entry of yellowfin tuna into the United States (U.S.), under specific 
conditions,

from nations in the International Dolphin Conservation Program that 
would otherwise be under embargo. The Act also allows U.S. fishing 
vessels to participate in the yellowfin tuna fishery in the eastern 
tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) on terms equivalent with the vessels of 
other nations. NOAA collects information to allow tracking and 
verification of ``dolphin-safe'' and ``non-dolphin safe'' tuna products 
from catch through the U.S. market.
    The information is used by NMFS, the United States Coast Guard 
(USGC), and the IATTC to monitor the size and composition of the vessel 
fleets in the IATTC Convention Area for compliance and scientific-
related purposes. Knowing such information as the number of vessels, 
the details of the vessels and their ownership, and the types of gear 
employed enables effective monitoring of vessel activity for 
enforcement and assessment purposes. NMFS also uses this information 
for the purposes of management the U.S. purse seine fleet capacity in 
the IATTC Convention Area.
    This collection includes permit applications, notifications, tuna 
tracking forms, reports, and certifications that provide information on 
vessel characteristics and operations in the ETP, the origin of tuna 
and tuna products, chain of custody recordkeeping requirements and 
certain other information necessary to implement the Act.
