Abstract: The information required by the Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act is needed: to document the dolphin-safe status of tuna import shipments; to verify that import shipments of fish were not harvested by large scale, high seas driftnets; and to verify that imported tuna was not harvested by an embargoed nation or one that is otherwise prohibited from exporting tuna to the United States (U.S.). Forms are submitted by importers and processors. An Interim Final Rule (RIN 0648-BF73) amended regulations governing the use of the dolphin-safe label and modified the regulatory language to be included on written certifications for fishing trips that begin on or after May 21, 2016; the associated Change Request was approved by OMB on March 14, 2016. Implementation of additional certifications, described in the PR and commented on by the public, is now being requested.
