The National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce requests extension of the information collection involving Certification of Admissibility for the importation of certain fish and fish products that are subject to requirements of the Moratorium Protection Act or the MMPA. The purpose of this information collection is to enable the continued flow of trade while adhering to existing statutory requirements. Pursuant to the Moratorium Protection Act, certain fish or fish products of a nation may be subject to import prohibitions. To facilitate enforcement, NMFS requires that other fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by documentation of admissibility. A duly authorized official/agent of the applicant’s Government must certify that the fish in the shipments being imported into the United States (U.S.) are of a species, or from fisheries, that are not subject to an import restriction. If a nation is identified under the Moratorium Protection Act and fails to receive a positive certification decision from the Secretary of Commerce, products from that nation may be subject to the import prohibitions and would subsequently need to be accompanied by the certificate of admissibility. Under the MMPA, import certification requirements apply in collection-ofinformation requirement (Control Number 0648–0732) cases where foreign fisheries do not meet U.S. standards for marine mammal bycatch mitigation. Final rule (RIN 0648–AY15) implemented a procedure for making comparability findings for nations that are eligible for exporting fish and fish products to the United States. The nations may receive a comparability finding to export fish and fish products by providing documentation that a nation’s bycatch reduction regulatory program is comparable in effectiveness to that of the United States. Fish and fish products from a foreign fishery without a comparability finding are prohibited from entry into U.S. commerce. To facilitate enforcement, NMFS requires that other fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by documentation of admissibility. Information collected under the Certification of Admissibility process is used by the United States Customs and Border Protection authorities to determine that inbound seafood VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:51 Mar 14, 2025 Jkt 265001 shipments are not subject to trade restrictions. NMFS uses the information to ensure compliance with fish product trade restrictions and to assess compliance with international fishery management regulations. II. Method of Collection The information is collected electronically at the time of entry filing in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The exporter completes information on the contents/ origin of the fish products contained in the export shipment and obtains export government certification that the fish meet the U.S. admissibility criteria. Entry filers (importers or customs brokers) obtain the completed Certification of Admissibility from the exporter (attached to the shipment packaging or via email) and upload the image file of the document to ACE via the Document Image System. Customs and Border Protection will also accept paper submission at the port of entry. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0651. Form Number(s): None.
