DPS)) with confirmed occurrence in the
project area. The NMFS Alaska Regional
Office Protected Resources Division
issued a Biological Opinion on June 3,
2025, under section 7 of the ESA, on the
issuance of an IHA to ADOT&PF under
section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the
NMFS Permits and Conservation
Division. The Biological Opinion
concluded that the proposed action is
not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the Western DPS of Steller
sea lions and the Mexico DPS of
humpback whales, and is not likely to
destroy or adversely modify critical
habitat for either species.
Authorization
Accordingly, consistent with the
requirements of section 101(a)(5)(D) of
the MMPA, NMFS has issued an IHA to
ADOT&PF for authorization to take

Angoon Ferry Terminal Modification
Project in Angoon, Alaska.

Title: Fishery Products Subject to
Trade Restrictions Pursuant to
provisions of the High Seas Driftnet
Fishing Moratorium Protection Act or
Marine Mammals Protection Act.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0651.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 100
respondents annually filing 50
responses each.
Average Hours per Response: 10
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 833.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
extension of an approved information
collection for Fishery Products Subject
to Trade Restrictions Pursuant to
Certification Under the High Seas
Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection
Act (Moratorium Protection Act) or the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA).
The National Marine Fisheries
Service’s (NMFS) Office of International
Affairs, Trade, and Commerce requests
extension of the information collection
involving Certification of Admissibility
for the importation of certain fish and
fish products that are subject to
requirements of the Moratorium
Protection Act or the MMPA.
The purpose of this information
collection is to enable the continued
flow of trade while adhering to existing
statutory requirements. Pursuant to the
Moratorium Protection Act, certain fish
or fish products of a nation may be
subject to import prohibitions. To
facilitate enforcement, NMFS requires
that other fish or fish products from that
nation that are not subject to the import
prohibitions must be accompanied by
documentation of admissibility. A duly
authorized official/agent of the
applicant’s Government must certify
that the fish in the shipments being
imported into the United States (U.S.)
are of a species, or from fisheries, that
are not subject to an import restriction.
If a nation is identified under the
Moratorium Protection Act and fails to
receive a positive certification decision
from the Secretary of Commerce,
products from that nation may be
subject to the import prohibitions and
would subsequently need to be
accompanied by the certificate of
admissibility.
Under the MMPA, import certification
requirements apply in collection-ofinformation requirement (Control
Number 0648–0732) cases where foreign
fisheries do not meet U.S. standards for
marine mammal bycatch mitigation.

comparability findings for nations that
are eligible for exporting fish and fish
products to the United States. The
nations may receive a comparability
finding to export fish and fish products
by providing documentation that a
nation’s bycatch reduction regulatory
program is comparable in effectiveness
to that of the United States. Fish and
fish products from a foreign fishery
without a comparability finding are
prohibited from entry into U.S.
commerce. To facilitate enforcement,
NMFS requires that other fish or fish
products from that nation that are not
subject to the import prohibitions must
be accompanied by documentation of
admissibility.
Information collected under the
Certification of Admissibility process is
used by the United States Customs and
Border Protection authorities to
determine that inbound seafood
shipments are not subject to trade
restrictions. NMFS uses the information
to ensure compliance with fish product
trade restrictions and to assess
compliance with international fishery
management regulations.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Dependent upon the
import rate of fish or fish products
subject to prohibition(s).
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: 50 CFR part 216; 50
CFR part 300, subpart N.
