DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Vessel Chartering Permits.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0495.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 8.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Average Hours per Response: Applications, 40 minutes; notification 
of chartering arrangement termination, 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection consists of a 
permitting requirement for any chartering arrangement involving a U.S. 
vessel, excluding bareboat charters, made with a country other than the 
United States. This requirement was recommended at a 2002 International 
Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas meeting as a means of 
potentially reducing double reporting and incidences of illegal, 
unreported, and unregulated fishing.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; business or other 
for-profit organizations; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
dHynek@doc.gov).

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395-7285, or
