General - This information is being collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service to ensure that timely
and accurate records are available concerning the fishing vessels of the U.S. that participate in Pacific Ocean
fisheries for highly migratory species, consistent with the requirements of the Fishery Management Plan for
U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species. The collection of information concerning U.S. fishing
vessels harvesting tuna in the eastern Pacific Ocean is also necessary for the U.S. to comply with its obligations
as a member of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission.
This permit is required for commercial fishing vessels and recreational charter vessels that harvest any of the
species that are included in the FMP. They are: Billfish/Swordfish: striped marlin (Tetrapturus audax),
swordfish (Xiphias gladius); Sharks: common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus), shortfin mako or bonito shark
(Isurus oxyrinchus), blue shark (Prionace glauca); Tunas: north Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga), yellowfin
tuna (Thunnus albacares), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), northern bluefin
tuna (Thunnus orientalis); and dorado or dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus).
Privacy Act Statement: Federal Regulations (at 50 CFR Part 660) authorize collection of this information. This
information is used to verify the identity of the applicant(s) and to accurately retrieve confidential records
related to federal commercial fishery permits. Where the requested information is a Social Security Number,
disclosure is mandatory in accordance with the Debt Collection Act (31 U.S.C. 7701).
Paperwork Reduction Act - Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average
40 minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for
reducing this burden, to the Regional Administrator, National Marine Fisheries Service, 501 West Ocean Blvd.,
Suite 4200, Long Beach, CA 90802-4213.
