SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.
This collection-of-information
describes special permits issued to
participants in the Pacific halibut
subsistence fishery in waters off the
coast of Alaska and any appeals
resulting from denials. The National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
designed the permits to work in
conjunction with other halibut harvest
assessment measures. Subsistence
fishing for halibut has occurred for
many years among the Alaska Native
people and non-Native people. Special
permits in this collection-of-information
are initiated in response to the concerns
of Native and community groups
regarding increased restrictions in
International Pacific Halibut
Commission Area 2C and include
Community Harvest Permits,
Ceremonial Permits, and Educational
Permits.
A Community Harvest Permit allows
the community or Alaska Native tribe to
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
78973
appoint one or more individuals from
its respective community or tribe to
harvest subsistence halibut from a single
vessel under reduced gear and harvest
restrictions. Ceremonial and
Educational Permits are available
exclusively to Alaska Native tribes.
Eligible Alaska Native tribes may
appoint only one Ceremonial Permit
Coordinator per tribe for Ceremonial
Permits or one authorized Instructor per
tribe for Educational Permits.
Except for enrolled students fishing
under a valid Educational Permit,
special permits require persons fishing
under them to also possess a
Subsistence Halibut Registration
Certificate (SHARC) (see OMB Control
No. 0648–0460) which identifies those
persons who are currently eligible for
subsistence halibut fishing. Each of the
instruments is designed to minimize the
reporting burden on subsistence halibut
fishermen while retrieving essential
information.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include online, e-mail of
electronic forms, mail, and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.
Educational Permits may not be applied
for online.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0512.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(renewal of a currently approved
collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; State, local, or tribal
government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
415.
Estimated Time per Response: Permit
applications, 10 minutes; Community
harvest log, 30 minutes; Ceremonial or
educational harvest log, 30 minutes;
Appeal for permit denial, 4 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 325.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $529 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No.
10022–01 is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
Permit 10022–01, issued on May 12,
2010 (75 FR 26715) authorizes the
permit holder to conduct research off
the northwest coast of Florida.
Researchers may capture loggerhead
(Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia
mydas), and Kemp’s ridley
(Lepidochelys kempii) sea turtles by
strike-net or set-net. Animals may be
weighed, measured, photographed, skin
biopsied, flipper and passive integrated
transponder (PIT) tagged, and released.
Researchers also are authorized to
perform a subset of activities on sea
turtles legally captured by relocation
trawlers. A subset of sea turtles may
have transmitters attached to assess
habitat use and study whether
relocation distances for sea turtles
captured by relocation trawlers are
appropriate.
Dr. Carthy requests a modification to
the permit to: (1) Increase the number of
sea turtles (up to 50 loggerheads, 350
greens, and 200 Kemp’s ridleys) that
may be taken annually; (2) authorize
satellite tagging for captured loggerhead
and Kemp’s ridleys; and (3) authorize
three additional research activities
(epibiota removal, blood sampling, and
carapace swabbing) for up to 30
captured animals of each species
annually. A subset of the green sea
turtles will also be captured by hand/
dip net, flipper and PIT tagged,
measured, weighed, photographed, and
temporarily carapace marked. This work
would assess changes in sea turtle
abundance, physical characteristics, and
habitat use in the area relative to

This request is for renewal of a currently approved information

This collection-of-information describes special permits issued to
participants in the Pacific halibut subsistence fishery in waters off
the coast of Alaska and any appeals resulting from denials. The
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) designed the permits to work

Subsistence fishing for halibut has occurred for many years among the

A Community Harvest Permit allows the community or Alaska Native

Permits are available exclusively to Alaska Native tribes. Eligible
Alaska Native tribes may appoint only one Ceremonial Permit Coordinator
per tribe for Ceremonial Permits or one authorized Instructor per tribe
for Educational Permits.
Except for enrolled students fishing under a valid Educational
