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].

by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and

collection should be sent
