SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic Access This **Federal Register** document is also accessible at the web site of the Office of the Federal Register: *http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html* . Background On October 5, 2007, NMFS published a final rule implementing the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP) (72 FR 57104). That final rule contained collection-of-information requirements that were submitted to, but not yet approved by, the Office of Management and Budget. Because OMB had not yet approved the collection-of-information requirements by the publication date of that final rule, NMFS noted in that final rule that it would publish a subsequent **Federal Register** notice upon OMB's issuance of a control number. On December 7, 2007, OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements contained in the October 5, 2007 final rule. NMFS announces that the collection-of-information requirements are approved under Control Number 0648-0364, with an expiration date of February 28, 2009. Dated: April 25, 2008. Samuel D. Rauch III, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Programs, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 08-1202 Filed 4-28-08; 4:00 pm]
