15 CFR Part 902

50 CFR Part 665

[Docket No. 070719388-9911-04]
RIN 0648-AV29


Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Crustacean Fisheries; Deepwater 
Shrimp

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; effectiveness of collection-of-information 
requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS announces approval by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) of collection-of-information requirements contained in 
regulations implementing Amendment 13 to the Fishery Management Plan 
for Crustacean Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region. The intent of 
this final rule is to inform the public that the associated permitting 
and reporting requirements have been approved by OMB.

DATES: This rule is effective June 29, 2009. The amendments to 50 CFR 
665.13, 665.41, and 665.42, published at 73 FR 70603 (November 21, 
2008) and corrected at 73 FR 75622 (December 12, 2008) have been 
approved by OMB and are effective on June 29, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the burden-hour estimates or 
other aspects of the collection-of-information requirements contained 
in this final rule may be submitted to William L. Robinson, 
Administrator, NMFS Pacific Islands Region (PIR), 1601 Kapiolani 
Boulevard, Suite 1110, Honolulu, HI 96814-4700, and to David Rostker, 
OMB, by e-mail to [email protected], or fax to 202-395-7285.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brett Wiedoff, Sustainable Fisheries 
Division, NMFS PIR, 808-944-2272.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Federal Register document is also 
accessible at www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/.
    A final rule for Amendment 13 was published in the Federal Register 
on November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70603), and an associated correction notice 
was published on December 12, 2008 (73 FR 75622). The requirements of 
that final rule, other than the collection-of-information requirements, 
were effective on December 22, 2008. Because OMB approval of the 
collection-of-information requirements had not been received by the 
date that final rule was published, the effective date of the 
associated permitting and reporting requirements in that rule was 
delayed. OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements 
contained in the final rule on May 1, 2009.
    Under NOAA Administrative Order 205-11, dated December 17, 1990, 
the Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere has delegated authority 
to sign material for publication in the Federal Register to the 
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA.

Classification

    This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is 
required to respond to, and no person shall be subject to penalty for 
failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), unless that 
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control 
number.
    This final rule contains new collection-of-information requirements 
subject to the PRA under OMB Control Number 0648-0586. The public 
reporting burden for these requirements is estimated to be 0.5 hours 
per permit applicant, with permit renewals requiring an additional 0.5 
hours annually, approximately 10 min per vessel per fishing day to 
complete Federal catch reports. These estimates include time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. Send comments regarding these burden 
estimates or any other aspect of this data collection, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, to William L. Robinson (see 
ADDRESSES), or by e-mail to [email protected], or fax to 202-
395-7285.
