Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Subsequent Purchaser Report.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0079.

    Burden: 150 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 150 with 2 responses each.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), it is 
illegal to engage in interstate or foreign commerce of products 
comprised of endangered fish or wildlife. Certificates of Exemption 
(CE) were issued to persons holding inventories of such items before

allowed to engage in interstate or foreign commerce. When selling an 
item, CE holders are responsible for telling purchasers that they must 
file a report if they plan to sell the item. This information is used 
by NOAA's enforcement officers to identify legal items from illegal 
items in the marketplace.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
