SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection. Federal regulations at
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-50/
chapter-VI/part-665/subpart-F/section665.815 require that the operator of a
vessel with a Hawaii longline limited
access permit notify NMFS in the event
an endangered short-tailed albatross is
hooked or entangled during fishing
operations. Following the retrieval of
the albatross from the ocean, the vessel
operator must record the condition of
the bird on a recovery data form. A
veterinarian will use the information to
provide advice to the vessel operator for
caring for the bird. If the albatross is
dead, the vessel operator must attach an
identification tag to the carcass to assist
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
biologists in follow-up studies on the
specimen. This collection is one of the
terms and conditions contained in the
Endangered Species Act Section 7
biological opinion issued by USFWS
and is intended to maximize the
probability of the long-term survival of
short-tailed albatross accidentally taken
by longline gear. NMFS did not change
anything in the collection.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email or electronic
forms, or mail or facsimile transmission
of paper forms within 72 hours of
