Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Region (SWR) manages the U.S.-Canada Albacore Tuna Treaty of 1981 (Treaty). Owners of vessels that fish from U.S. West Coast ports for albacore tuna will be required to notify NMFS, SWR of their desire to be on the list of vessels provided to Canada each year indicating vessels eligible to fish for albacore tuna in waters under the jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally, vessel operators are required to report in advance their intention to fish in Canadian waters prior to crossing the maritime border as well as to mark their fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement of the effort limits under the Treaty. Vessel operators are also required to maintain and submit a logbook of all catch and fishing effort. The regulations implementing the reporting and vessel marking requirements under the Treaty are at 50 CFR part 300.172 -300.176 .

Short Statement:
Due to re-estimations based on actual respondents in the past years, estimated hours have decreased by 770 hours. Due to a more realistic accounting of costs, and inclusion of the Shipcom vessel registration costs that were not accounted for in past submissions, costs have increased by $956 (appears above as 803, because ROCIS had rounded off previous cost of $1,847 to $2,000).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$2,388
