Protection Act) or the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA).
The National Marine Fisheries
Service’s (NMFS) Office of International
Affairs, Trade, and Commerce requests
extension of the information collection
involving Certification of Admissibility
for the importation of certain fish and
fish products that are subject to
requirements of the Moratorium
Protection Act or the MMPA.
The purpose of this information
collection is to enable the continued
flow of trade while adhering to existing
statutory requirements. Pursuant to the
Moratorium Protection Act, certain fish
or fish products of a nation may be
subject to import prohibitions. To
facilitate enforcement, NMFS requires
that other fish or fish products from that
nation that are not subject to the import
prohibitions must be accompanied by
documentation of admissibility. A duly
authorized official/agent of the
applicant’s Government must certify
that the fish in the shipments being
imported into the United States (U.S.)
are of a species, or from fisheries, that
are not subject to an import restriction.
If a nation is identified under the
Moratorium Protection Act and fails to
receive a positive certification decision
from the Secretary of Commerce,
products from that nation may be
subject to the import prohibitions and
would subsequently need to be
accompanied by the certificate of
admissibility.
Under the MMPA, import certification
requirements apply in collection-ofinformation requirement (Control
Number 0648–0732) cases where foreign
fisheries do not meet U.S. standards for
marine mammal bycatch mitigation.
Final rule (RIN 0648–AY15)
implemented a procedure for making
comparability findings for nations that
are eligible for exporting fish and fish
products to the United States. The
nations may receive a comparability
finding to export fish and fish products
by providing documentation that a
nation’s bycatch reduction regulatory
program is comparable in effectiveness
to that of the United States. Fish and
fish products from a foreign fishery
without a comparability finding are
prohibited from entry into U.S.
commerce. To facilitate enforcement,
NMFS requires that other fish or fish
products from that nation that are not
subject to the import prohibitions must
be accompanied by documentation of
admissibility.
Information collected under the
Certification of Admissibility process is
used by the United States Customs and
Border Protection authorities to
determine that inbound seafood

shipments are not subject to trade
restrictions. NMFS uses the information
to ensure compliance with fish product
trade restrictions and to assess
compliance with international fishery
management regulations.
II. Method of Collection
The information is collected
electronically at the time of entry filing
in the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. The exporter
completes information on the contents/
origin of the fish products contained in
the export shipment and obtains export
government certification that the fish
meet the U.S. admissibility criteria.
Entry filers (importers or customs
brokers) obtain the completed
Certification of Admissibility from the
exporter (attached to the shipment
packaging or via email) and upload the
image file of the document to ACE via
the Document Image System. Customs
and Border Protection will also accept
paper submission at the port of entry.

Form Number(s): None.

IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for

methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
