Abstract: As a member of the Western and Central Paciﬁc Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), the United States (U.S.) is obligated to implement certain Conservation and Management Measures (CMMs) adopted by the WCPFC. The purpose of this information collection is: (1) to implement, with respect to ﬁshing vessels of the U.S. engaged in commercial ﬁshing, the applicable transshipment reporting requirements of CMM 2009-06, "Conservation and Management Measure on the Regulation of Transshipment," and other provisions of CMM 2009-06; (2) to implement, with respect to U.S. purse seine ﬁshing vessels, the discard reporting requirements speciﬁed in CMM 2009-02, "Conservation and Management Measure on the Application of High Seas FAD Closures and Catch Retention"; (3) to implement the purse seine ﬁshing effort limits in CMM 2017-01 "Conservation and Management Measure for Bigeye, Yellowﬁn and Skipjack Tuna in the Western and Central Paciﬁc Ocean." The information collected would be used by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the WCPFC to ensure compliance with the conservation and management measures and is needed in order for the U.S. to satisfy its international obligations. The revision per 0648-BH77: NMFS implemented the requirements of CMM 2009-06, CMM 2010-02, the catch discard reporting requirements of CMM 2009-02, and the FAD-related requirements of CMM 2013-01 via rulemaking. NMFS is implementing the provisions of CMM 2017-01 via rulemaking. The regulations regarding purse seine fishing effort limits would apply to U.S. purse seine vessels operating in the Convention Area. The regulations modify the “daily FAD report” reporting requirement so that it would be a “daily purse seine fishing effort report” to gather information for the purse seine fishing effort limits.
