I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. NOAA has, or is given,
authority under the Coastal Zone
Management Act (CZMA), annual
appropriations or other authorities, to
issue funds to coastal states, localities or
other recipients for planning,
conservation, acquisition, protection,
restoration, or construction projects.
The required information enables
NOAA to implement the CELCP, under
its current or future authorization, and
facilitate the review of similar projects
under different, but related, authorities.
This includes projects funded
through:
• The Coastal and Estuarine Land
Conservation Program (CZMA Section
307A) to protect important coastal and
estuarine areas that have significant
conservation, recreation, ecological,
historical, or aesthetic values, or that are
threatened by conversion, and
procedures for eligible applicants who
choose to participate in the program to
use when developing state conservation
plans, proposing or soliciting projects
under this program, applying for funds,
and carrying out projects under this
program in a manner that is consistent
with the purposes of the program
pursuant to program guidelines which
can be found on NOAA’s website at:
www.coast.noaa.gov/czm/
landconservation/ or may be obtained
upon request via the contact
information listed above.
• The National Estuarine Research
Reserve System (CZMA Section 315)
Land Acquisition and Construction
program.
• The Coastal Zone Management
Program’s low-cost acquisition and
construction program (CZMA Section
306A), or the
• Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
II. Method of Collection

method for submitting CELCP plans,
project applications, performance
reports and other required materials.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Application for Commercial
Fisheries Authorization Under Section
118 of the Marine Mammal Protection
Act.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0293.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 600.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 150.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
requires any commercial fisherman
operating in Category I and II fisheries
to register for a certificate of
authorization that will allow the
fisherman to take marine mammals
incidental to commercial fishing
operations. Category I and II fisheries
are those identified by NOAA as having
either frequent or occasional takings of
marine mammals. All states have
integrated the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) registration process into
the existing state fishery registration
process and vessel owners do not need
to file a separate federal registration. If
applicable, vessel owners will be
notified of this simplified registration
process when they apply for their state
or Federal permit or license.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under

SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
The Fishery Ecosystem Plan for
Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific
(FEP) contains a process under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act to specify catch and/or fishing effort
limits for management unit species
caught by pelagic fisheries in the U.S.
participating territories. The process
allows NMFS to authorize the
government of each U.S. participating
territory to allocate a portion of its catch
or fishing effort limit to a U.S. fishing
vessel permitted under the FEP through
specified fishing agreements. These
agreements support fisheries

development in the U.S. participating
territories (see 50 CFR 665.819).
A specified fishing agreement
provides access to an identified portion
of a catch or fishing effort limit and may
not exceed the amount specified for the
territory and made available for
allocation. The identified portion of a
catch or fishing effort limit in an
agreement must account for recent and
anticipated harvest on the stock or stock
complex or fishing effort, and any other
valid agreements with the territory
during the same year not to exceed the
territory’s catch or fishing effort limit or
allocation limit. Each participating
territory may submit a complete
specified fishing agreement for review
and approval by the Western Pacific
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS. The agreement must (a) identify
the vessels and document that each
fishing vessel has a valid permit issued
under 50 CFR 665.801, (b) identify the
limit on catch of western Pacific pelagic
management unit species, if applicable,
(c) identify the limit on fishing effort, if
applicable, (d) be signed by an
authorized official of the participating
territory or designated representative,
and (e) be signed by each vessel owner
or designated representative.
II. Method of Collection
There is no form for an agreement.
Agreements may be submitted by mail
or fax.
III. Data
