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

to possess a permit issued under the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act
(HSFCA). Applicants for this permit must submit information to identify
their vessels, owners and operators of the vessels, and intended
fishing areas.
The application information is used to process permits and to
maintain a register of vessels authorized to fish on the high seas. The
HSFCA also requires vessels be marked for identification and
enforcement purposes. Vessels must be marked in three locations (port
and starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on a weather deck)
with their official number or radio call sign. These requirements apply
to all vessels fishing on the high seas.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
