I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
current information collection West
Coast Region U.S.—Canada Albacore
Treaty Reporting System.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), West Coast Region, manages
the United States (U.S.)—Canada
Albacore Tuna Treaty of 1981 (Treaty).
Owners of vessels that fish from U.S.
West Coast ports for albacore tuna
(Thunnus alalunga) are required to
notify the NMFS West Coast Region of
their desire to be on the list of vessels
provided to Canada each year indicating
vessels eligible to fish for albacore tuna
in waters under the jurisdiction of
Canada. Additionally, vessel operators
are required to report in advance their
intention to fish in Canadian waters
prior to crossing the maritime border, as
well as to mark their fishing vessels to
facilitate enforcement of the effort limits
under the Treaty. Vessel operators are
also required to maintain and submit a
logbook of all catch and fishing effort.
The regulations implementing the
reporting and vessel marking
requirements under the Treaty are at 50
CFR part 300.172–300.176.
The estimated burden below includes
hours to complete the logbook
requirement, although it is assumed that
most if not all of the respondents
already complete the required logbook
under the mandatory West Coast Highly
Migratory Species Fishery Management
Plan (HMS FMP), OMB Control No.
0648–0223. Duplicate reporting under
the Treaty and HMS FMP is not
required. Most years, there will be much
less fishing (and thus less reporting)
under the Treaty than the level on
which the estimate is based.
II. Method of Collection
Requests to be placed on the vessel
eligibility list may be made in writing
via mail, fax, email, telephone, or
through online registration if available.
Communications to comply with ‘hail
in’ and ‘hail out’ requirements are made
via ship to shore radio or via telephone
and are compiled in an electronic
database by Fisheries and Oceans
Canada. Summaries of hail reports are
provided to NMFS on a periodic basis.
Vessel marking requirements entail
painting the letter ‘U’ immediately after
the U.S. Coast Guard documentation
identification number or state
registration number already on the
vessel. Logbooks are maintained in preprinted paper format and submitted via
mail.
