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: Reporting of Sea Turtle Incidental Take in Virginia 
Chesapeake Bay Pound Net Operations.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0470.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 102.
    Number of Respondents: 41.
    Average Hours per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: As mandated by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), year-round reporting of sea turtle incidental 
take is necessary to (1) monitor the level of incidental take in the 
state-monitored pound net fishery, (2) ensure that the level of take 
does not exceed the Incidental Take Statement issued in conjunction 
with the Biological Opinion, and (3) verify that the seasonal pound net 
leader restrictions are adequate to protect sea turtles. Further, 
reporting the take of live, injured sea turtles caught in pound net 
gear will ensure these turtles are transferred immediately to a 
stranding and rehabilitation center for appropriate medical treatment. 
The respondents are Virginia pound net fishermen.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; State, Local or Tribal 
Government.
    Frequency: Semi-annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
