Public comments are invited until March 15, 2021, and individuals or organizations can submit their thoughts via email. The collection includes various forms and requirements to manage permits and quota shares effectively, and the feedback will help evaluate and improve the program's utility and reduce the reporting burden.

    The Department of Commerce is submitting an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a review regarding the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Individual Bluefin Tuna Quota (IBQ) Tracking. This request aims to manage the distribution and tracking of bluefin tuna quotas among vessel owners, ensuring fair allocation and minimizing waste. Businesses must set up an account in the “Catch Shares Online System” to manage their quotas, and comments on this collection are invited within 30 days of the notice's publication. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) oversees this effort under mandates from fisheries conservation laws.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is asking for feedback about a plan to keep track of how much of a special kind of tuna, called bluefin tuna, fishermen are allowed to catch so everyone gets a fair amount. Fishermen need to use a special online system to keep track of their catches, and they're supposed to share their thoughts on how this works within 30 days.
