Abstract:
This request is for a revision to a previously approved collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is promulgating a rule to implement, inter alia, a statutory change to the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act. The proposed rule, RIN 0648-BG11, would revise permitting and monitoring of U.S.-flagged high seas fishing vessels. Specifically, the revision would change the period of validity of vessel permits from five years to one year, thus requiring annual renewal. This information collection is necessary to comply with the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act (HSFCA), 16 U.S.C. 5501 et seq., which, among other things, requires U.S. vessels that operate on the high seas to possess a permit issued in accordance with Section 104 of the HSFCA and be marked for identification purposes. HSFCA also requires permit holders to report their fishing activities.
