SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Region manages 
the Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog fisheries of the Exclusive 
Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Northeastern United States through the 
Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The 
Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council prepared the FMP pursuant to 
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act). The regulations implementing the FMP are specified at 50 
CFR 648.70.
    The recordkeeping and reporting requirements at Sec.  648.70 and

to process and track requests from the allocation holders to transfer 
quota allocation to another entity. NMFS Northeast Region also requests 
information from Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog permit holders in 
order to track and properly account for Atlantic surfclam and ocean 
quahog harvest that is shucked at-sea. Because there is not a standard 
conversion factor for estimating unshucked product from shucked 
product, NMFS requires vessels that choose to shuck product at-sea to 
carry on board the vessel a NMFS-approved observer to certify the 
amount of Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog harvested. This 
information, upon receipt, results in an increasingly more efficient 
and accurate database for management and monitoring of fisheries of the 
Northeastern U.S. EEZ.
