Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will publish a final rule (RIN 0648-AY75) amending regulations under the authority of the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, to revise the current United States (U.S.) vessel carrying capacity limit for the purse seine fishery in order to be consistent with the amount authorized under international resolutions adopted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). was an increase in the number of applicants for ETP vessel permits due to the increase in the carrying capacity of the fleet, the total estimated burden hours would increase. In addition, removing the exemption for small vessels may result in an increase in the number of owners of small purse seine vessels requesting active or inactive status on the Vessel Register. Thus, it is estimated that there would be a total of 10 respondents who are owners of purse seine vessels applying for ETP vessel permits (previously the estimate was three), five respondents who are owners of small purse seine vessels requesting active status (previously the estimate was one), and five respondents who are owners of small purse seine vessels requesting inactive status (previously the estimate was one).
