SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a current information
collection sponsored by NMFS' WCR. The information required by the
International Dolphin Conservation Program Act, amendment to the Marine
Mammal Protection Act, is needed to: (1) Document the dolphin-safe
status of tuna import shipments; (2) verify that import shipments of
fish were not harvested by large-scale, high seas driftnets; and (3)
verify that tuna was not harvested by an embargoed nation or one that
is otherwise prohibited from exporting tuna to the United States.
Collected information includes the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Entry Identification, date of entry, and contact details on the
exporting and importing companies.
Collected information also includes harvest characteristics such as
fishing vessel name, fishing trip dates, vessel flag, vessel gear type,
and ocean area of harvest, as well as the declaration of the dolphin
safe status of the shipment, and if applicable, the attachment of
required certifications. Forms are submitted by importers and
processors. NMFS uses this information to verify the dolphin-safe
status of tuna shipments.
II. Method of Collection
Importing respondents are required to submit the form
electronically to U.S. Customs and Border Protection before or at the
time of importation via the Automated Commercial Environment as per
regulations at 50 CFR 216.24(f)(2). Domestic processors typically
submit the forms monthly via email as per regulations at 50 CFR
216.93(d)(2).
