Consistency Across Federal Agencies
and Interoperability With Existing
International, Federal, State, and NonGovernmental Information Systems
Data at the border is currently
collected both in electronic and hard
copy formats. Hard copies are often
scanned and then stored for future use.
Use of the ITDS will not only simplify
the collection of data by utilizing an
electronic format, but interoperability of
information is assured between all
Federal agencies as only one data
system is employed. The Committee
anticipates the collection of data in
electronic format using ITDS for ease of
collection. With respect to
interoperability of data captured and
utilized by existing information
systems, it is the Committee’s intent to
avoid, to the extent practicable, the
establishment of redundant data
collection processes or protocols that
undermine the function and
effectiveness of existing systems. While
it is unlikely that ITDS will be capable
of automatically ‘‘retrieving’’ data from
existing databases, the Committee is
interested in comments describing
methods that will facilitate the use of
existing systems to provide data
identified in future traceability rule
making. Comments are also requested
regarding the proposed use of the ITDS,
the potential use of other systems the
Federal agencies should consider at the
border, and if there are any barriers,
known or perceived, in using the ITDS
system.

Who would collect the data?
Use of the ITDS system to collect
proposed data elements for imports of
species identified as at risk of IUU
fishing and seafood fraud would require
the importer (or exporter to the USA) to
enter the information along with any
necessary supporting documentation.
The importer would be responsible for
ensuring that the necessary data
elements are collected along the supply
chain and provided to CBP through
ITDS at the point of entry.
How will the data be verified?
A key element of these operational
standards is data verification. The
operational standards must provide
relevant Federal agencies the ability to
verify that documentation for at-risk
seafood products is complete and
accurate upon entry into U.S.
commerce, and validate country-specific
documents and certifications. The

VerDate Sep<11>2014

operational standards must also
incorporate a system of data checks and
periodic auditing. A system of traceback audits would determine the quality
and accuracy of the data submitted and
identify missing information and
discrepancies. Comments are requested
regarding a system of audits of the
documentation system for quality and
accuracy.
Data Security
As the additional data elements will
be submitted through the Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE)/ITDS
single window as part of an entry filing,
the supplemental data will only be
accessible to the entry filer, CBP, and
Federal agencies with authorization to
review entry filings for the designated
commodities. Consequently, data
security concerns are minimal.
Comments regarding additional
considerations with respect to data
security are requested.
Following the public comment
period, the NOC Committee will take
the input received into consideration
while finalizing recommendations that
will be sent forward for appropriate
agency action by September 2015, as
outlined in the implementation plan for
Task Force Recommendations 14 and
15.

I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
authorizes the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (Gulf Council) and
South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council (South Atlantic Council) to
prepare and amend fishery management
plans for any fishery in Federal waters
under their respective jurisdictions.
NMFS and the Gulf Council manage the
reef fish fishery in the Gulf of Mexico
(Gulf) under the Reef Fish Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). NMFS and the
South Atlantic Council manage the
fishery for rock shrimp in the South
Atlantic under the Shrimp FMP. The
vessel monitoring system (VMS)
regulations for the Gulf reef fish fishery
and the South Atlantic rock shrimp
fishery may be found at 50 CFR 622.28
and 622.205, respectively.
The FMPs contains several areaspecific regulations where fishing is
restricted or prohibited in order to
protect habitat or spawning
aggregations, or to control fishing
pressure. Unlike size, bag, and trip
limits, where the catch can be
monitored on shore when a vessel
returns to port, area restrictions require
at-sea enforcement. However, at-sea
enforcement of offshore area restrictions
is difficult due to the distance from
shore and the limited number of patrol
vessels, resulting in a need to improve
enforceability of area fishing restrictions
through remote sensing methods. In
addition, all fishing gears are subject to
some area fishing restrictions. Because
of the sizes of these areas and the
distances from shore, the effectiveness
of enforcement through over flights and
at-sea interception is limited. An
electronic VMS allows a more effective
means to monitor vessels for intrusions
into restricted areas.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 126 / Wednesday, July 1, 2015 / Notices

The VMS provides effort data and
significantly aids in enforcement of
areas closed to fishing. All position
reports are treated in accordance with
NMFS existing guidelines for
confidential data. As a condition of
authorized fishing for or possession of
reef fish or rock shrimp in or from the
Gulf exclusive economic zone (EEZ) or
South Atlantic EEZ, respectively, vessel
owners or operators subject to VMS
requirements must allow NMFS, the
United States Coast Guard (USCG), and
their authorized officers and designees,
access to the vessel’s position data
obtained from the VMS.
NMFS would like to move the
collection of information requirement
for VMS applicable to vessels with
limited access endorsements for South
Atlantic rock shrimp under OMB
Control No. 0648–0205 to this
collection. The burden estimates have
changed due to inclusion of the
applicable burden from OMB Control
No. 0648–0205.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email of electronic
forms, and mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0544.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular (revision and
extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
894.
Estimated Time Per Response:
Installation, 4 hours; installation and
activation checklist, 15 minutes; powerdown exemption requests, 5 minutes;
transmission of fishing activity reports,
1 minute; and annual maintenance, 2
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,719.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $1,011,121 in start-up, transfer,
operations, and maintenance costs.
