SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Native Americans may conduct
certain aboriginal subsistence whaling
under the Whaling Convention Act in
accordance with the provisions of the
International Whaling Commission
(IWC). In order to respond to obligations
under the International Convention for
the Regulation of Whaling, the IWC, and
the Whaling Convention Act, whaling
captains participating in these
operations must submit certain
information to the relevant Native
American whaling organization about
strikes on and catch of whales. Anyone
retrieving a dead whale is also required
to report. Captains must place a
distinctive permanent identification
mark on any harpoon, lance, or
explosive dart used, and must also
provide information on the mark and
self-identification information. The
relevant Native American whaling
organization receives the reports,
compiles them, and submits the
information to NOAA.
The information is used to monitor
the hunt and to ensure that quotas are
not exceeded. The information is also
provided to the IWC, which uses it to
monitor compliance with its
requirements.
