DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Vessel Chartering Permits.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0495.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 8.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Average Hours per Response: Applications, 40 minutes; notification 
of chartering arrangement termination, 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection consists of a 
permitting requirement for any chartering arrangement involving a U.S. 
vessel, excluding bareboat charters, made with a country other than the 
United States. This requirement was recommended at a 2002 International 
Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas meeting as a means of 
potentially reducing double reporting and incidences of illegal, 
unreported, and unregulated fishing.

for-profit organizations; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
