[Docket No. 950203036-5180-02; I.D. 070695A]


NOAA Information Collection Requirements; Update and 
Consolidation

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS consolidates and updates Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control numbers for NOAA information collection requirements and 
makes minor corrections to the accompanying text. The intent is to 
update, simplify, and shorten the regulations, while still making this 
information available to the public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 2, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George H. Darcy, NMFS, 301/713-2344.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part 902 of title 15 CFR and part 204 of 
title 50 CFR display control numbers assigned to NOAA and NMFS 
information collection requirements, respectively, by OMB, pursuant to 
the Paperwork Reduction Act. These parts fulfill the requirement that 
agencies display a current control number, assigned by the Director of 
OMB, for each agency information collection requirement.
    This final rule, technical amendment, consolidates the list of OMB 
control numbers associated with NOAA information collection 
requirements contained in regulations appearing in CFR titles 15 and 
50. Because NMFS is a component of NOAA, these parts logically can be 
combined to shorten the regulations and to ease use by the public. All 
of the collection-of-information requirements consolidated in 15 CFR 
902.1(b) have previously been submitted to OMB for approval during 
implementation of regulations appearing in the individual parts of 
titles 15 and 50; this final rule does not involve any new reporting or 
recordkeeping requirements. In addition, the list of OMB approval 
numbers is corrected and updated to reflect the currently valid OMB 
approvals, and the text of Sec. 902.1(a) is updated to reflect the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
    Under NOAA Administrative Order 205-11, 7.01, dated December 17, 
1990, the Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere has delegated 
authority to sign material for publication in the Federal Register to 
the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA.

Classification

    Because this rule only consolidates existing information for 
purposes of public information, it is strictly administrative in 
nature; no useful purpose would be served by providing prior notice and 
opportunity for comment on this rule. Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B), it is unnecessary to provide such notice and opportunity for 
comment. Also, because this rule is only administrative in nature and 
is not a ``substantive rule'' under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), it will be 
immediately effective upon publication.
    This rule is exempt from review under E.O. 12866.

    Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Dated: July 25, 1995.
Richard H. Schaefer,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA.

    For the reasons set out in the preamble, under the authority of 44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 50 CFR chapter II and 15 CFR chapter IX are 
amended as follows:

15 CFR Chapter IX

    1. 15 CFR part 902 is revised to read as follows:

PART 902--NOAA INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE 
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT: OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.


Sec. 902.1  OMB control numbers assigned pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.

    (a) Purpose. This part collects and displays the control numbers 
assigned to information collection requirements of the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). NOAA 
intends that this part comply with the requirements of section 
3507(c)(B)(i) of the PRA, which requires that agencies inventory and 
display a current control number assigned by the Director of OMB for 
each agency information collection requirement.
    (b) Display.
