Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)
June 2–6 2025, and the 103rd Annual
Meeting of the IATTC, subsidiary
bodies, and meetings of the AIDCP will
be held on August 26–September 5,
2025, in Panama. For 2025, the
combined U.S. SAS and GAC Meeting
will be held on July 30–31, after the
IATTC SAC Meeting and before the
IATTC and AIDCP meetings. This
timing allows for scientific topics
presented at the IATTC SAC Meeting,
including stock assessments, to be
discussed and used to inform U.S.
positions at the combined U.S. SAS and
GAC Meeting. This meeting will also
include updates from IATTC working
groups and is expected to include
presentations of draft U.S. proposals to
be submitted to the IATTC. An
executive session may be called in order
to discuss sensitive information,
including possible U.S. negotiating
positions for the upcoming IATTC
Annual Meeting.
In accordance with the Tuna
Conventions Act (16 U.S.C. 951 et seq.)
(TCA), the U.S. Department of
Commerce, in consultation with the
Department of State (the State
Department), appoints a GAC to the U.S.
Section to the IATTC and a SAS that
advises the GAC. The U.S. Section
consists of the four U.S. Commissioners
and alternate U.S. Commissioners to the
IATTC and representatives of the State
Department, NOAA, Department of
Commerce, other U.S. Government
agencies, and stakeholders. The GAC
provides recommendations to the U.S.
section of the IATTC. The purpose of
the SAS is to advise the GAC on
scientific matters and provide
recommendations to the GAC. Per the
TCA, the SAS advises the GAC on
matters including the conservation of
ecosystems, the sustainable uses of
living marine resources related to the
tuna fishery in the eastern Pacific
Ocean, and the long-term conservation
and management of stocks of living
marine resources in the eastern tropical
Pacific Ocean. NMFS West Coast Region
staff provides administrative and
technical support services as necessary
for the effective functioning of the SAS
and GAC.
The meetings of the SAS and GAC are
open to the public, unless in executive
session. The time and manner of public
comment will be at the discretion of the
Chairs for the SAS and GAC. For more
information and updates on the
upcoming IATTC meetings, please visit

Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
Title: Alaska Saltwater Sportfishing
Economic Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0639.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
[Reinstatement with revisions].
Number of Respondents: 4,263.
Average Hours per Response: 30
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,108.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
reinstatement with changes to a
previously approved information
collection (OMB Control Number 0648–
0639).
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) previously collected survey
data in 2007, 2012, and 2017 for
conducting economic analyses of
marine sport fishing in Alaska. These
surveys were necessary to understand
the factors that affect marine
recreational fishing and its economic
value. The proposed update from the
previously conducted mail survey is a
push-to web survey focused on
collecting data from a subset of the
Alaska saltwater angler population that
participated in a sport angling trip via
a charter boat. The focus on the charter
angler subpopulation is due to that
population being of primary concern for
fishery managers. This data collection is
needed to improve estimates of fishing
trip values potentially affected by
changes in federal recreational fisheries
off Alaska, including recent declines in
populations of Pacific halibut and
subsequent measures to manage harvest
in the Alaska recreational charter
fishing sector. Numerous questions in
the questionnaire have been updated to
better reflect, and understand the effects
of, recent changes in Alaska marine
recreational fisheries.
The Federal Government is
responsible for the management of the
Pacific halibut sport fishery off Alaska,
while the State of Alaska manages the
salmon sport fisheries (Chinook, coho,
sockeye, chum, and pink), as well as
several other saltwater sport fisheries.
The updated survey’s scope covers
marine sport charter fishing for Pacific
halibut, salmon, and other popular
marine sport species in Alaska (e.g.,
lingcod and rockfish). The data
collected from the survey will be used
to update estimates of the demand for
and value of Pacific halibut fishing to
charter anglers and to analyze how the
type of fish caught, fishery regulations,
and other factors affect fishing values
and anglers’ decisions to participate in
Alaska marine charter fishing activities.
The economic information provided

from the survey will help inform fishery
managers about the economic values of
Alaska marine charter halibut fisheries
and the changes to participation in these
fisheries with proposed regulations.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Once.

Title: Annual Economic Survey of
Federal Gulf and South Atlantic Shrimp
Permit Holders.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0591.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
[Extension of a current information
collection].
Number of Respondents: 650.
Average Hours per Response: 0.75.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 488.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
an extension of a currently approved
information collection. NOAA Fisheries,
Southeast Fisheries Science Center,
annually collects economic data from
commercial anglers in the Gulf and
South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who
hold one or more permits for harvesting
shrimp from Federal waters (U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone). A collection
of economic information from fishers
affected by the management of Federal
commercial fisheries is needed to
ensure that the national goals,
objectives, and requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MFCMA) and other laws are met. These
data are needed to conduct economic
analyses in support of management of
the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal
requirements. Information about
revenues, variable and fixed costs,
capital investment and other economic
information is collected from a random
sample of permit holders. The data will
be used to assess how anglers will be
impacted by and respond to Federal
regulations likely to be considered by
fishery managers.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
