SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
VMS and electronic monitoring
systems collect important information
on fishing effort, catch, and the
geographic location of fishing effort and
catch for certain sectors of the Atlantic
HMS fleet. Data collected through these
programs are used in both domestic and
international fisheries management,
including for law enforcement, stock
assessments, and quota management
purposes. Atlantic HMS vessels
required to use VMS are pelagic
longline, purse seine, bottom longline
(directed shark permit holders in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia),
and gillnet (directed shark permit
holders consistent with the
requirements of the Atlantic large whale
take reduction plan requirements at 50
CFR 229.39.(h)) vessels. In addition to
VMS, pelagic longline vessels are also
required to have electronic monitoring
systems to monitor catch and account
for bluefin tuna harvest and discards.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Office of Law Enforcement
(OLE) monitors fleet adherence to gearand time-area restrictions with VMS
position location data. Gear restricted
areas and time-area closures are
important tools for Atlantic HMS
management that have been
implemented to reduce bycatch of
juvenile swordfish, sea turtles, and
bluefin tuna, among other species.
Electronic monitoring data from the
pelagic longline fleet includes bluefin
tuna discard and harvest information.
These data are used by NMFS to
accurately monitor bluefin tuna catch by
the pelagic longline fleet, to ensure
compliance with Individual Bluefin
Quota (IBQ) limits and requirements,

and to ensure that the Longline category
bluefin tuna quota is not over-harvested.
VMS reporting of bluefin tuna catch is
used to monitor the status of IBQ
allocations in real-time.
Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed
under the dual authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) and the Atlantic Tunas
Conservation Act (ATCA). Under the
MSA, management measures must be
consistent with ten National Standards,
and fisheries must be managed to
maintain optimum yield, rebuild
overfished fisheries, and prevent
overfishing. Under ATCA, the Secretary
of Commerce shall promulgate
regulations, as necessary and
appropriate, to implement measures
adopted by the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).
II. Method of Collection
First-time VMS respondents must
install a VMS unit and submit an
activation checklist to NMFS via mail.
Hail-out, hail-in, hourly position
reports, and bluefin tuna catch reports
must be submitted to NMFS via the
VMS communication system. First-time
electronic monitoring respondents must
have an electronic monitoring system
installed by a NMFS contractor.
Electronic monitoring data must be
submitted after each pelagic longline
trip via mail.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0372.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations; individuals or
households; State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
311.
Estimated Time per Response: Four
hours for initial VMS installation; 5
minutes per VMS initial activation
checklist; 2 minutes per VMS hail-out/
hail-in declaration; 6 hours for
electronic monitoring installation; 5
minutes for VMS pelagic longline
bluefin tuna catch reporting;15 minutes
for VMS purse seine bluefin tuna catch
records; 1 minute for dockside review of
bluefin tuna catch records previously
submitted via VMS; 2 hours for
electronic monitoring data retrieval.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 20,402.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $389,416 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.
