Title: Reporting Requirements for Sea
Otter Interactions with Coastal Pelagic
Species Fisheries.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0566.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 2.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 30
minutes.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
collection. On May 30, 2007, NMFS
published a final rule (72 FR 29891)
implementing a requirement under the
Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) to report any
interactions that may occur between a
CPS vessel and/or fishing gear and sea
otters. In accordance with the
regulations implementing the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) initiated an ESA section 7
consultation with the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding
the effects of implementing the final
rule (72 FR 29891), which codified
Amendment 11 to the CPS FMP.
USFWS determined that formal
consultation was necessary on the
possible effects to the threatened
southern sea otter. USFWS completed a
biological opinion for this action and
although it was concluded that fishing
activities were not likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of the southern
sea otter, that there remained the
potential to incidentally take southern
sea otters. USFWS determined that
certain measures should be put in place
to ensure the continued protection of
the species, including certain reporting
requirements.
Specifically, these reporting
requirements are:
(1) If a southern sea otter is entangled
in a net, regardless of whether the
animal is injured or killed, the vessel
operator must report this interaction
within 24 hours to the Regional
Administrator.
(2) While fishing for CPS, vessel
operators must record all observations
of otter interactions (defined as otters
within encircled nets or coming into
contact with nets or vessels, including
but not limited to entanglement) with
their purse seine net(s) or vessel(s).
With the exception of an entanglement,
which must be initially reported as
described in paragraph (1) of this
section, all other observations must be
