SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for the renewal and
extension of a current information
collection, which includes both vessel
and dealer permits.
Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible
for management of the Nation’s marine
fisheries. In addition, NMFS must
comply with the United States’

obligations under the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971
et seq.). NMFS issues permits to fishing
vessels and dealers in order to collect
information necessary to comply with
domestic and international obligations,
secure compliance with regulations, and
disseminate necessary information.
Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require
that vessels participating in commercial
and recreational fisheries for Atlantic
highly migratory species (HMS) and
dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a
vessel obtain a Federal permit issued by
NMFS. This action addresses the
renewal of permit applications currently
approved under PRA 0648–0327,
including both vessel and Atlantic
Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits
include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline
permits, which are approved under PRA
0648–0205), HMS Charter/Headboat,
HMS Angling, and Swordfish General
Commercial permits. This action also
includes the one-time requirement for
commercial vessels greater than 20
meters in length to obtain an
International Maritime Organization/
Lloyd’s Registry (IMO/LR) number.
The burden estimates in this renewal
are being updated to reflect increases in
the number of permits issued each year,
and a $6 increase in the price of permits
due to increased costs associated with
maintaining and executing the program.
II. Method of Collection
Methods of submittal include online,
email, and mail.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0327.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
38,205.
Estimated Time per Response:
Renewal of Atlantic Tunas Dealer
Permit application, 5 minutes; renewal
applications for the following vessel
permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/
Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish
General Commercial, 10 minutes; initial
Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit
application, 15 minutes; initial
applications for the following vessel
permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/
Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish
General Commercial, 35 minutes; Onetime application for the IMO/LP
