SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Based on the management regime
specified each year, designated
regulatory areas in the commercial
ocean salmon fishery off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon, and California
may be managed by numerical quotas.
To accurately assess catches relative to
quota attainment during the fishing
season, catch data by regulatory area
must be collected in a timely manner.
Requirements to land salmon within
specific time frames and in specific
areas may be implemented in the
preseason regulations to aid in timely
and accurate catch accounting for a
regulatory area. State landing systems
normally gather the data at the time of
landing. If unsafe weather conditions or
mechanical problems prevent
compliance with landing requirements,
fishermen need an alternative to allow
for a safe response. Fishermen would be
exempt from landing requirements if the
appropriate notifications are made to
provide the name of the vessel, the port
where delivery will be made, the
approximate amount of salmon (by
species) on board, and the estimated
time of arrival.
II. Method of Collection
Notifications are made by at-sea radio
or cellular phone transmissions.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0433.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
40.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 10 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

(including hours and cost) of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

on respondents, including through the

Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

As part of fishery management plans
developed under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
owners of commercial fishing vessels in
the Hawaii pelagic longline fishery,
American Samoa pelagic longline
fishery (only vessels longer than 50
feet), Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
lobster fishery (currently inactive), and
Northern Mariana Islands bottomfish
fishery (only vessels longer than 40 feet)
must allow the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to
install vessel monitoring system (VMS)
units on their vessels when directed to
do so by NOAA enforcement personnel.
VMS units automatically send periodic
reports on the position of the vessel.
NOAA uses the reports to monitor the
vessel’s location and activities,
primarily to enforce regulated fishing
areas. NOAA pays for the units and
messaging. There is no public burden
for the automatic messaging; however,
VMS installation and annual
maintenance are considered public
burden.
II. Method of Collection
Automatic electronic submission.
