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: Gear-Marking Requirements for the Harbor Porpoise Take 
Reduction Plan.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0357.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 41.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Average Hours Per Response: 1 minute.
    Needs and Uses: The federal regulations at 50 CFR 229.34 limit the 
number of nets that can be used in certain fisheries in the mid-
Atlantic that appear to be most closely linked with accidental catch of 
harbor porpoises. Fishermen in these fisheries must obtain and attach 
numbered tags for their nets. Because the number of tags per vessel is 
capped, the tagging program helps to limit the number of nets in use 
and helps NOAA identify the number in use.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Every three years.
    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, FAX number (202) 395-7285, or 
[email protected].

    Dated: December 4, 2007.

Management Analyst, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
