In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, OMB is withholding approval at this time. Prior to
publication of the final rule, the agency must submit to OMB a
summary of all comments related to the information collection
contained in the proposed rule and the agency response. The agency
should clearly indicate any changes made to the information
collection as a result of these comments. The collection of landing
weight and form of product was not noticed in accordance with the
proposed rule and therefore NOAA will notify the public of separate
60 and 30 day comment periods in the Federal Register.

As part of a proposed rule, RIN
0648-BF09, NMFS would establish procedures pursuant to the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) for
filing import documentation for certain fish and fish products, in
order to implement the MSA’s prohibition on the import and trade,
in interstate or foreign commerce, of fish taken, possessed,
transported or sold in violation of any foreign law or regulation.
Such import documentation is proposed to be collected at the time
of entry consistent with the Safety and Accountability for Every
(SAFE) Port Act of 2006 and other applicable statutes.
Specifically, NMFS proposes to integrate collection of catch and
trade documentation for the covered seafood products within the
government-wide International Trade Data System (ITDS) and require
electronic information collection through the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) maintained by the Department of Homeland
Security, Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Under these
procedures, NMFS would require an annually renewable International
Fisheries Trade Permit (IFTP) and specific data for certain fish
and fish products as a condition of import to enable the United
States to exclude the entry into commerce of products of illegal
fishing activities.
