Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Highly Migratory Species Tournament Registration and Reporting
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
[[Page 28816]]
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 February 4, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
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.)
