Abstract: This request is for a new temporary collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is promulgating a rule to implement a decision of the Commission on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPFC or the Commission). Due to the timing of the rulemaking and the timing of the renewal of the collection of information 0648-0595, Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Vessel Information Family of Forms, NMFS is submitting a request for creation of a temporary collection. NMFS will submit a request to merge this new temporary collection with 0648-0595 upon publication of the final rule RIN 0648-BI79. The revision involves the requirement for vessels to obtain IMO numbers.
