Abstract:
This request is for a renewal of a currently approved collection. Domestic law and international obligations require or authorize the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to collect information about the harvest of certain fishery products when these products enter U.S. commerce and/or are exported from the United States. To this end, NMFS has implemented four trade monitoring programs to collect information from the seafood industry regarding the origin of certain fishery products. The purpose of these programs is to determine the admissibility of the products in accordance with the specific criteria of the trade measure or documentation requirements in effect for the species of fish that are being imported or exported. NMFS collects the required information electronically through the International Trade Data System (ITDS) maintained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The ITDS information collection is merged with the Seafood Import Monitoring Program, both previously approved by OMB.
