Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 14 / Monday, January 25, 2021 / Notices IUU fishing and related activities;
support coordination and collaboration to counter IUU fishing within priority regions; and increase and improve global transparency and traceability across the seafood supply chain to deter IUU fishing and strengthen fisheries management and food security; improve global enforcement operations against IUU fishing; and prevent the use of IUU
fishing as a financing source for transnational organized crime groups.
Part II of the Maritime SAFE Act calls for the establishment of the Interagency Working Group on IUU Fishing, specifying the chair and agency membership in the Working Group, as well as the Working Groups responsibilities. This Working Group met for the first time in June 2020.
NOAA is chair of this Working Group for its first 3 years, joined by the U.S.
Department of State and U.S. Coast Guard as deputy chairs.
The Working Group has developed its Work Plan, a living document that will serve as the basis for a 5-year strategic plan that is due to Congress by the end of calendar year 2021. In this Work Plan, the Working Group identified ongoing existing activities, as well as new lines of effort, that comprise the initial focus of Federal government actions under the purview of the Working Group. Many of the new activities proposed in the Work Plan emphasize the use of maritime intelligence and the involvement of military departments to support efforts to combat IUU fishing. The Work Plan can be found here: https
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
maritime-safe-act-interagency-workinggroup-iuu-fishing.
The Working Group is exploring potential ways in which the government and private sector stakeholders can work together to combat IUU fishing and enhance maritime security. We are interested to hear from the seafood industry, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders that are engaged in efforts to combat IUU fishing. We welcome comments in relation to the Work Plan, particularly any responses to the following questions:
Which activities in the Work Plan are connected to the expertise or interests of your organization related to combating IUU fishing?
What kinds of distinctive capabilities or capacities could your organization bring to the activities in the Work Plan?
Which specific activities could serve as the basis for a partnership between your organization and particular Federal agencies?

Are there specific geographic regions or seafood industry sectors e.g., harvesting, processing, or trade where your organization focuses efforts to build capacity in combating IUU fishing that could be tied to activities in the Work Plan?
Which elements in the Work Plan do you see as priorities to include in the 5-year Strategic Plan of the Working Group?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract This request is for extension of a currently approved collection. The National Saltwater Angler Registry Program Registry Program was established to implement recommendations included in the review of national saltwater angling data collection programs conducted by the National Research Council NRC in 2005/2006, and the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act, codified at Section 401g of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act MSA, which require the Secretary of Commerce to commence improvements to recreational fisheries surveys, including establishing a national saltwater angler and for-hire vessel registry, by January 1, 2009. A final rule that includes regulatory measures to implement the Registry Program RIN
0648AW10 was adopted and codified in 50 CFR 600, subpart P.
The Registry Program collects identification and contact information from those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in recreational fishing in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone or for anadromous fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are exempted from the registration requirement. Data collected includes for anglers: Name, address, date of birth, telephone contact information and regions of the country in which they fish; for for-hire vessels: Owner and operator name, address, date of birth, telephone contact information, vessel name and registration/documentation number and home port or primary operating area. This information is compiled into a national and/or series of regional registries that is being used to support surveys of recreational anglers and for-hire vessels to develop estimates of recreational angling effort.
II. Method of Collection Persons may register online at a NOAA-maintained website. Registration cards, valid for one year from the date of issuance, are mailed to registrants.
III. Data OMB Control Number: 06480578.
Form Numbers: None.
