SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
In response to the American Fisheries
Act (AFA), NMFS developed a
management program for Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area
(BSAI) pollock to include a set of AFA
permanent permits for AFA catcher/
processors, AFA catcher vessels, AFA
inshore processors, and AFA
motherships. All vessels and processors
participating in the non-Community
Development Quota (CDQ) BSAI pollock
fishery are required to have valid AFA
permits on board the vessel or on site
at the processing plant.
With the exceptions of the inshore
vessel cooperatives, replacement vessel,
and inshore vessel contract fishing
applications, the AFA permit program
had a one-time application deadline of
December 1, 2000. All permitted
participants in the AFA pollock fishery
are already established and are issued
with an indefinite expiration date.
This information collection was
previously revised to include a new
program, the Chinook Salmon
Prohibited Species Catch Program
(Chinook PSC Program). The Chinook
PSC Program was established to
promote reduction of Chinook salmon
PSC in the Bering Sea pollock fishery to
the extent practicable while achieving
optimum yield in the pollock fishery. A
PSC limit of Chinook salmon was
established for the pollock industry
participants in an industry-developed
contractual arrangement, called an
incentive plan agreement (IPA) that
establishes an incentive program to

minimize bycatch at all levels of
Chinook salmon abundance. NMFS
issues transferable Chinook salmon PSC
allocations to eligible entities
representing the catcher/processor
sector, the mothership sector, inshore
cooperatives, and Community
Development Quota (CDQ) groups.
Transferable allocations provide the
pollock fleet the flexibility to maximize
the harvest of pollock while maintaining
Chinook salmon bycatch at or below the
PSC limit.
It is also proposed that the title of this
collection will be changed from
American Fisheries Act: Vessel and
Processor Permit Applications to
American Fisheries Act (AFA): Permits.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include online data entry,
email of electronic forms, and mail and

On
September 24, 2012, notice was
published in the Federal Register (77
FR 58812) that a request for a scientific
research permit to take smalltooth
sawfish had been submitted by the
above-named individual. The requested
permit has been issued under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The permit holder is authorized to
gather life history information on
smalltooth sawfish populations of
Florida, primarily in Florida Bay and
the upper Keys area. The purpose of the
research is to investigate the movements
and habitat use of smalltooth sawfish in
Florida waters. Annually, up to 80
sawfish may be captured by gillnet,
longline, or angling gear, measured,
passive integrated transponder, roto,
dart, and external satellite tagged,
tissue, muscle, and blood sampled, and
released. Dead sawfish acquired through
strandings or from law enforcement
confiscations may be sampled for
scientific purposes. The permit is
authorized for a duration of 5 years.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) Was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
including a workshop and webinars;
and (3) Review Workshop. The product
of the Data Workshop is a data report
which compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Consensus Summary documenting
panel opinions regarding the strengths
and weaknesses of the stock assessment
