    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of

U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

    The Marine Mammal Protection Act exempts Alaskan natives from the 
prohibitions on taking, killing, or injuring marine mammals if the

native articles of handicraft or clothing. The natives do not need a 
permit, but non-natives who wish to act as a tanner or agent for such 
native products must register with NOAA and maintain and submit certain 
records. The information is necessary for law enforcement purposes.
