I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a current information
collection. Fishery regulations do not
generally affect scientific research
activities conducted by a scientific
research vessel. Persons planning to
conduct such research are encouraged to
submit a scientific research plan to
ensure that the activities are considered
research and not fishing. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from
fishery regulations for educational or
other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for
these exemptions must be submitted, as
well as reports on activities.
Revision: Eligible researchers on
board federally permitted fishing vessels
that plan to temporarily possess fish in
a manner not compliant with applicable
fishing regulations for the purpose of
collecting scientific data on catch may
submit a request for a temporary
possession letter of authorization. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion.
