SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3, 2013, NMFS published in the 
Federal Register a final rule to implement fishing requirements 
contained in Amendment 3 to the Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) for the 
Mariana Archipelago, Amendment 2 to the Pacific Remote Island Areas 
FEP, Amendment 3 to the American Samoa FEP, and Amendment 6 to the 
Pelagic FEP (78 FR 32996). The requirements of that final rule, other 
than the collection-of-information requirements, were effective on July 
3, 2013. OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements on May 
29, 2013; this rule announces the approval and the effective date of 
the requirements.
    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 0648-0664. Specifically, 
non-commercial fishermen and recreational charter fishermen are 
required to obtain Federal permits and complete logbook reports to fish 
in the Marianas Trench, Pacific Remote Islands, and Rose Atoll Marine 
National Monuments. These are

[[Page 39584]]

new requirements, except that non-commercial fishermen in the Pacific 
Remote Islands Monument are subject to existing permit requirements at 
Sec.  665.603, Sec.  665.624, Sec.  665.642, Sec.  665.662 and Sec.  
665.801. The public reporting burden for the new requirements is 
estimated to be 15 minutes to complete a permit application for each 
vessel, and 20 minutes to complete a daily trip log sheet per trip. 
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 NMFS (see 
ADDRESSES) and to OMB by email to [email protected] or fax 
to 202-395-7285.
