continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on February 4, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.

    Agency: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 
Commerce.
    Title: Highly Migratory Species Tournament Registration and 
Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0323.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Average Hours per Response: Tournament registration, 2 minutes; 
tournament summary report, 20 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 110.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently 
approved information collection. Under the provisions of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et 
seq.), NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible 
for management of the nation's marine fisheries. Existing regulations 
require operators of tournaments involving Atlantic highly migratory 
species (HMS; Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and tunas) to 
register four weeks in advance of the tournament. Operators must 
provide contact information and the tournament's date(s), location(s), 
and target species. If selected by NMFS, operators are required to 
submit an HMS tournament summary report within seven days after 
tournament fishing has ended. Most of the catch data in the summary 
report is routinely collected in the course of regular tournament 
operations. NMFS uses the data to estimate the total annual catch of 
HMS and the impact of tournament operations in relation to other types 
of fishing activities. In addition, HMS tournament registration 
provides a method for tournament operators to request educational and 
regulatory outreach materials from NMFS. No changes to the reporting 
requirements are being made at this time..
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: Annually; on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the Atlantic Tunas 
Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.)
