I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Ocean salmon fisheries conducted in
the U.S. exclusive economic zone, 3–
200 nautical miles off the West Coast
states of Washington, Oregon, and
California are managed by the Pacific
Fishery Management Council (Council)
and NOAA’s NMFS under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA). Management measures for the
ocean salmon fisheries are set annually,
consistent with the Council’s Pacific
Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). The FMP provides a framework
for managing the ocean salmon fisheries
in a sustainable manner, as required
under the MSA, through the use of
conservation objectives, annual catch
limits, and other reference points and
status determination criteria described
in the FMP. To meet these criteria,
annual management measures,
published in the Federal Register by
NMFS, specify regulatory areas, catch
restrictions, and landing restrictions
based on the stock abundance forecasts.
These catch and landing restrictions
include area- and species-specific
quotas for the commercial ocean salmon
fishery, and generally require catch and
landings to be reported to the
appropriate state and tribal agencies to
allow for timely and accurate
accounting of the season’s catch (50 CFR
660.404 and 50 CFR 660.408(o)). The
best available catch and effort data and
projections are presented by the state
fishery managers in telephone
conference calls involving the NMFS
Regional Administrator and
representatives of the Council. However,
NMFS acknowledges that unsafe
weather or mechanical problems could
prevent commercial fishermen from
making their landings at the times and
places specified, and the MSA requires
conservation and management measures
to promote the safety of human life at
sea. Therefore, the annual management
measures will include provisions to
exempt commercial salmon fishermen
from compliance with the landing
requirements when they experience
unsafe weather conditions or
mechanical problems at sea, so long as
the appropriate notifications are made
by, for example, at-sea radio and
cellular telephone, and information on
catch and other required information is
given, under this collection of
information.
The annual management measures
will specify the contents and procedure
of the notifications, and the entities
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
receiving the notifications (e.g., U.S.
Coast Guard). Absent this requirement
by the Council, the state reporting
systems would not regularly collect this
specific type of in-season radio report.
These provisions, and this federal
collection of information, promote
safety at sea and provide practical
utility for sustainably managing the
fishery, and ensure regulatory
consistency across each state by
implementing the same requirements in
the territorial waters off each state. This
information collection is intended to be
general in scope by leaving the specifics
of the notifications for annual
determination, thus providing flexibility
in responding to salmon management
concerns in any given year.
II. Method of Collection
Notifications are made by at-sea radio
or cellular phone transmissions.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0433.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection).

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
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

amended the Commodity Exchange Act
(CEA) to establish a comprehensive new
statutory framework for swaps. These
amendments required the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (‘‘the
Commission’’) to amend several of its
regulations to implement the new
framework. The information collection
obligations imposed by the ‘‘Adaptation
of Regulations to Incorporate Swaps’’
final regulations 2 remain necessary to
implement section 721 of the DoddFrank Act, which amended the
definitions of futures commission
merchant (‘‘FCM’’) and introducing
broker (‘‘IB’’) to permit these
intermediaries to trade swaps on behalf
of customers. They also are necessary to
implement section 733 of the DoddFrank Act which introduced swap
execution facilities (‘‘SEFs’’) as a new
trading platform for swaps. As a result
of the enactment of sections 721 and
733, the Commission needed to amend
certain recordkeeping regulations
(§§ 1.31, 1.33, 1.35, 1.37, and 1.39) so
that records of swap transactions are
maintained analogously to how futures
transactions are maintained.
Further, the ‘‘Exclusion of Utility
Operations-Related Swaps With Utility
Special Entities from De Minimis
Threshold for Swaps With Special
Entities’’ 3 regulation amended the
Commission’s swap dealer definition to
permit a person to exclude ‘‘utility
operations-related swaps’’ with ‘‘utility
special entities’’ in their de minimis
threshold calculations. The regulation
requires a person claiming the exclusion
to maintain, in accordance with
Commission regulation 1.31, any
written representations that the person
receives from utility special entities
related to this exclusion.
The information collection burdens
associated with these regulations
(collectively, the ‘‘Swap Recordkeeping
Requirements’’) are restricted to the
costs associated with the recordkeeping
and reporting requirements that these
regulations impose upon affected
registrants, registered entities, those
registered entities’ members, and other
respondents covered by the final rules.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. On April 14, 2023, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
2 Adaptation of Regulations to Incorporate Swaps,
77 FR 66288 (Nov. 2, 2012).
