The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking public comments on information collection related to highly migratory species like tuna and swordfish. As part of compliance with several fishery management acts, NOAA requires businesses to report transactions involving these species, both domestically and internationally, to help monitor fisheries and track trade. This notice invites comments on how to improve data collection processes and minimize the burden on businesses, with responses due by June 27, 2025. The data collection includes various forms and electronic reports to monitor and manage fishing activities.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to make sure people are reporting when they buy or sell certain big ocean fish, like tuna. They're asking everyone for ideas on how to make this reporting easier and less confusing by the end of June.
