DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the

Request; Seafood Inspection and Certification Requirements
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 September 9, 2024 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: Seafood Inspection and Certification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0266.
Form Number(s): 89-800, 89-801, and 89-814.
Type of Request: Regular submission [revision and extension of a
current information collection].
Number of Respondents: 1,012.
Average Hours per Response: 0.0833 hours to complete the
Application for Inspection Services, Surety Bond, and the contract
completion. 0.5 hours for an Application for Appeal. 0.25 hours to
complete the Label and Specification submission. 60 hours to submit the
HACCP for new applicants, and 40 hours to submit the HACCP for current
applicants.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 23,067 hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for the revision and extension of a
current information collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service
operates a fee-for-service Seafood Inspection Program (SIP), available
to all segments of the seafood industry. Participants request services
such as product inspection, export health and legal harvest
certification, and facility approval. Information is collected from
participants to confirm the identity of products being inspected and
certified, as well as to show compliance with Program requirements. The
implementing regulations for this Program at 50 CFR 260 are being
updated to bring the regulation more in line with current practices,
remove outdated text, and streamline seafood inspection services. The
last updated information collection (published January 19, 2022, with
expiration date January 31, 2025) already included all of the changes
proposed with this rulemaking, including the shift to online inspection
and service requests and housing day-to-day procedures in the online
SIP Manual versus in codified text. The information collection is being
revised and extended to add a previously overlooked Surety form and
adjust the burden figures.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Varies, On occasion and annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
operates the fee-for-service Seafood Inspection Program (SIP) under the
authorities of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C 38), as
amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C 742a-742j).
