Contracting Party to the Convention. The regulations implementing 
AMLRCA are at 50 CFR part 300, subpart G. The record keeping and

research, U.S. harvesting permit application and/or harvesting vessel 
operators and to importers and re-exporters of Antarctic marine living 
resources. The collection is necessary in order for the United States 
to meet its treaty obligations as a contracting party to the
