Abstract: Pursuant to RIN 0648-BH59 Reporting requirements under this collection are being revised to remove some Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) regulations and implement regulations of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in the overlap area in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. There is no change to the instructions or forms associated with this collection. The forms will no longer be required in the WCPFS-IATTC overlap area, which is a very small area of where the forms are currently required. 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.
