[Federal Register Volume 76, Number 75 (Tuesday, April 19, 2011)] [Notices] [Pages 21856-21857] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2011-9412] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: Reporting Requirements for the Ocean Salmon Fishery Off the Coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. OMB Control Number: 0648-0433. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission (renewal of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 40. Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes. Burden Hours: 10. Needs and Uses: Based on the management regime specified each year by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), with authority codified in 50 CFR 660.408, designated regulatory areas in the commercial ocean salmon fishery off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California may be managed by numerical quotas. To accurately assess catches relative to quota attainment during the fishing season, catch data by regulatory area must be collected in a timely manner. Requirements to land salmon within specific time frames and in specific areas may be implemented in the preseason regulations to aid in timely and accurate catch accounting for a regulatory area. State landing systems normally gather the data at the time of landing. If unsafe weather conditions or mechanical problems prevent compliance with landing requirements, fishermen need an alternative to allow for a safe response. Fishermen would be exempt from landing requirements if the appropriate notifications are made to provide the name of the vessel, the port where delivery will be made, the approximate amount of salmon (by species) on board, and the estimated time of arrival. Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory. OMB Desk Officer: [email protected]. 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 6616, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at [email protected]). Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent [[Page 21857]] within 30 days of publication of this notice to [email protected]. Dated: April 14, 2011.
