SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the meeting is to conduct a
salmon methodology review to discuss
and review proposed changes to
analytical methods used in salmon
management. At its September 2022
meeting, the Pacific Council adopted the
following priority items for the 2022
Salmon Methodology Review.
1. Technical review of the updates
associated with ‘Round 7.1.1’ of the
Fishery Regulation Assessment Model
(FRAM) base period as they relate to
modeled abundances of Chinook salmon
stocks used in determining the southern
resident killer whale (SRKW) Chinook
salmon abundance threshold.
2. Technical review of the updates to
Chinook salmon ocean distribution
models that derive from two
publications (Shelton et al. 2019, 2021)
and are used to apportion the modeled
abundance of Chinook salmon stocks
among ocean regions.
3. Discussion of whether the
Sacramento Index forecast should be
expressed as a mean or median.
4. Review of the basis behind the
Sacramento River Fall Chinook
conservation objective.
5. FRAM technical detail
documentation.
If time allows additional topics may
be discussed, including but not limited
to future Pacific Council agenda items
and salmon related topics of interest to
the STT and SSC Salmon
Subcommittee.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may be
discussed, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during this
meeting. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that
require emergency action under section

I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The Magnuson
Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act) authorizes the establishment of
eight Regional Fishery Management
Councils to manage fisheries within
regional jurisdictions. Section 302(j) of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that
affected individuals, including Council
members appointed by the Secretary of
Commerce, Scientific and Statistical
Committee (SSC) members appointed by
a Council, and individuals nominated
by the State Governor, Territorial
Governor or Tribal Government for
possible appointment as a Council
member (50 CFR 600.235), must
disclose their financial interest in any
Council fishery. Financial interests
include harvesting, processing,
lobbying, advocacy, or marketing
activity that is being, or will be,
undertaken within any fishery over
which the Council concerned has
jurisdiction. Information on financial
interests must be disclosed on NOAA
Form 88–195, Statement of Financial
Interests, under OMB collection 0648–
0192. The information collected is used
to assess potential conflicts of interest
and to make determinations about when
recusals from Council voting decisions
are necessary to avoid such conflicts.
NOAA Fisheries and Council offices are
required to maintain current Statement
of Financial Interests forms on file that
are publically available for
transparency. The Statement of
Financial Interests form is being revised
at this time for consistency with the
final rule 0648–BH73 to clarify guidance
on council members’ financial
disclosures and voting recusals (50 CFR
600.235; as amended at 85 FR 56177,
Sept. 11, 2020).

Information will be collected
electronically. Paper forms will be
accepted if needed.

We are soliciting public comments to
permit NOAA to: (a) Evaluate whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of
NOAA, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate
of the time and cost burden for this
proposed collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) Evaluate ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) Minimize the reporting burden on
those who are to respond, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this Information
Collection Request. Before including
your address, phone number, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Office of International Affairs,
Trade, and Commerce requests a regular
submission for the extension of a
current information collection. The
Security and Accountability for Every
Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act, Pub.
L. 109–347) requires all Federal
agencies with a role in import
admissibility decisions to collect
information electronically through the
International Trade Data System (ITDS).
The Department of the Treasury has the
U.S. Government lead on ITDS
development and Federal agency
integration. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) developed the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) as an internet-based system for
the collection and dissemination of
information for ITDS. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB),
through its e-government initiative,
oversees Federal agency participation in
ITDS, with a focus on reducing
duplicate reporting across agencies and
migrating paper-based reporting systems
to electronic information collection.
Numerous Federal agencies are involved
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
58065
in the regulation of international trade
and many of these agencies participate
in the decision-making process related
to import, export, and transportation.
Agencies also use trade data to monitor
and report trade activity. NMFS is a
partner government agency in the ITDS
project as it monitors the trade of certain
fishery products. Electronic collection
of seafood trade data through a single
portal has resulted in an overall
reduction of the public reporting burden
and the agency’s data collection costs,
has improved the timeliness and
accuracy of admissibility decisions, and
has increased the effectiveness of
applicable trade restrictive measures.
NMFS is responsible for
implementation of trade measures and
monitoring programs for fishery
products subject to the documentation
requirements of Regional Fishery
Management Organizations (RFMO)
and/or domestic laws. RFMOs are
international fisheries organizations,
established by treaties, to promote
international cooperation to achieve
effective and responsible marine
stewardship and ensure sustainable
fisheries management. The United
States is a signatory to many RFMO
treaties, and Congress has passed
legislation to carry out U.S. obligations
under those treaties, including trade
measures to support conservation. Trade
measures and monitoring programs
enable the United States to exclude
products that do not meet the RFMO
criteria for admissibility to U.S. markets.
Pursuant to domestic statutory
authorities and/or multilateral
agreements, NMFS has implemented a
number of monitoring programs to
collect information from the seafood
industry regarding the origin of certain
fishery products. The purpose of these
programs is to determine the
admissibility of the products in
accordance with the specific criteria of
the trade measure or documentation
requirements in effect. The three NMFS
trade monitoring programs originally
included in the OMB information
collection approved under Control
Number 0648–0732 are the Highly
Migratory Species International Trade
Program (HMS ITP) which regulates
trade in specified commodities of tuna,
swordfish, billfish, and shark fins; the
Antarctic Marine Living Resources
(AMLR) trade program which regulates
trade in Antarctic and Patagonian
toothfish and other fishery products
caught in the area where the Convention
on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine
Living Resources (CCAMLR) applies;
and the Tuna Tracking and Verification
Program (TTVP), which regulates trade
in frozen and/or processed tuna
