    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision of a currently

and control the import, export, and re-export of Antarctic marine 
living resources, NOAA requires dealers to submit applications for pre-
approval certifications of imports of frozen Patagonian and Antarctic 
toothfish (also referred to as Chilean sea bass) and reporting forms 
for air-shipped fresh imports of these species. These applications are 
currently available as fillable PDF forms. NOAA is revising this 
collection to allow these forms to be submitted in an on-line format. 
No other part of this collection will be revised.
    The 1982 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living 
Resources (Convention) established the Commission for the Conservation 
of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The United States is a 
Contracting Party to the Convention. The Antarctic Marine Living 
Resources Convention Act (AMLRCA) directs and authorizes the United 
States to take actions necessary to meet its treaty obligations as a 
Contracting Party to the Convention. The regulations implementing 
AMLRCA are at 50 CFR part 300, subpart G. The record keeping and 
reporting requirements at 50 CFR part 300 form the basis for this 
collection of information. This collection of information concerns 
research in, and the harvesting and importation of, marine living 
resources from waters regulated by CCAMLR related to ecosystem 
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 
Convention.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
