Abstract:
This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection of information. The revisions are a result of a final rule (RIN: 0648-BM70) under the Tuna Conventions Act (TCA) of 1950, as amended, to implement Resolutions adopted at the 101st Meeting of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in August 2023. These Resolutions include Resolution C-23-03 (Amendment to Resolution C-99-07 on Fish Aggregating Devices) and Resolution C-23-04 (On The Design and Biodegradability of Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (DFADs) in the IATTC Area of Competence). The final rule modifies regulations for the design of fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) to require non-entangling and biodegradable materials. Furthermore, the rule requires that vessels engaged in FAD recovery projects in the IATTC convention area report data on recovered FADs to the IATTC.
