The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
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 January 25, 2021 (86 FR 6875) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.

Commerce.
Title: National Saltwater Angler Registry and State Exemption
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0578.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1204.
Average Hours Per Response: Registration of Anglers--3 minutes;
Registration of For-Hire Vessels--3 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 61.

The National Saltwater Angler Registry Program (Registry Program)
was established to implement recommendations included in the review of
national saltwater angling data collection programs conducted by the
National Research Council (NRC) in 2005/2006, and the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act, codified at Section 401(g) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), which
require the Secretary of Commerce to commence improvements to
recreational fisheries surveys, including establishing a national
saltwater angler and for-hire vessel registry, by January 1, 2009. A
final rule that includes regulatory measures to implement the Registry
Program (RIN 0648-AW10) was adopted and codified in 50 CFR 600, Subpart
P.
The Registry Program collects identification and contact
information from those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in
recreational fishing in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone or
for anadromous fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are
exempted from the registration requirement. Data collected includes:

information and region(s) of the country in which they fish; for for-
hire vessels: Owner and operator name, address, date of birth,
telephone contact information, vessel name and registration/
documentation number and home port or primary operating area. This
information is compiled into a national and/or series of regional
registries that is being used to support surveys of recreational
anglers and for-hire vessels to develop estimates of recreational
angling effort.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA).
