Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Southeast Region Vessel
Monitoring System (VMS) and Related
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0544.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 905.
Average Hours per Response:
Installation/activation checklist, 15
minutes; power down exemption
request, 5 minutes; fishing activity
report, 1 minute. Annual maintenance is
2 hours, but not counted as a response.
Burden Hours: 2,383.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of the current information
collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) authorizes the Gulf of Mexico
Fishery Management Council (Council)
to prepare and amend fishery
management plans for any fishery in
waters under its jurisdiction. National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
manages the reef fish fishery in the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico under the
Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). The vessel monitoring system
(VMS) regulations for the Gulf reef fish
fishery may be found at 50 CFR 622.9.
The FMP contains several areaspecific regulations where fishing is
restricted or prohibited in order to
protect habitat or spawning
aggregations, or to reduce fishing
pressure in areas that are heavily fished.
Unlike size, bag, and trip limits, where
the catch can be monitored onshore
when a vessel returns to port, area
restrictions require at-sea enforcement.
However, at-sea enforcement of offshore
area restrictions is difficult due to the
distance from shore and the limited
number of patrol vessels, resulting in a
need to improve enforceability of area
fishing restrictions through remote
sensing methods. In addition, all fishing
gears are subject to some area fishing
restrictions. Because of the sizes of these
areas and the distances from shore, the
effectiveness of enforcement through
over flights and at-sea interception is

limited. An electronic VMS allows a
more effective means to monitor vessels
for intrusions into restricted areas.
The VMS provides effort data and
significantly aids in enforcement of
areas closed to fishing. All position
reports are treated in accordance with
NMFS existing guidelines for
confidential data. As a condition of
authorized fishing for or possession of
Reef Fish in or from the Gulf of Mexico
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), a
vessel owner or operator subject to the
requirements for a VMS in this section
must allow NMFS, the United States
Coast Guard (USCG), and their
authorized officers and designees,
access to the vessel’s position data
obtained from the VMS.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, one time and on
occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
