DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

[I.D. 042503D]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce 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: Highly Migratory Species Tournament Registration and 
Reporting.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0323.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 70.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Average Hours Per Response: 2 minutes for a registration form and 
20 minutes for a tournament summary report.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA would require that operators of fishing 
tournaments involving Highly Migratory Species (HMS) provide advance 
identification of the tournament and then, if selected, provide 
information after the tournament on the HMS that are caught, whether 
they were kept or released, the length and weight of the fish, and 
other information. Completed forms are mailed to NOAA. Most of the data 
required for post-tournament reporting are already collected in the 
routine course of tournament operations. The data collected are needed 
to estimate the total annual catch of these species and to evaluate the 
impact of tournament fishing in relation to other types of fishing.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
