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 Voluntary Release Reports.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (request for approval of a new 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 9,246.
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 771.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for approval of a new information 
collection.
    Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
(MSFMCA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) the National Marine Fisheries Service 
(NMFS) is to ensure that conservation and management measures promote, 
to the extent practicable, implementation of scientific research 
programs that include the tagging and releasing of Atlantic highly 
migratory species (HMS). The proposed information collection would 
allow the public to submit volunteered geographic information relating 
to HMS releases in order to populate an interactive Web site mapping 
tool. This Web page could attract visitors who are interested in 
Atlantic HMS and would contain information and links to promote HMS 
tagging programs that the general public could support or in which they 
could become involved. All submissions would be voluntary. Information 
would be used to raise awareness for releasing Atlantic HMS and HMS 
tagging programs, and would not be used as representative results.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit organizations; not-for-profit institutions; state, local or 
tribal government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: [email protected].

by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected].
