SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Northeast Region manages the
tilefish fishery of the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) of the
Northeastern United States, through the
Tilefish 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 part 648 subpart N.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at § 648.294 form the basis
for this collection of information. NMFS
requests information from tilefish
individual fishing quota (IFQ) permit
holders in order to process applications
to ensure that IFQ allocation holders are
provided a statement of their annual
catch quota, and for enforcement
purposes, to ensure vessels are not
exceeding an individual quota
allocation. In conjunction with the
application, NMFS also collects IFQ
share accumulation information to
ensure that an IFQ allocation holder
does not acquire an excessive share of
the total limited access privileges, as
required by section 303A(c)(5)(D) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act.
NMFS requests transfer application
information to process and track
requests from allocation holders to
transfer quota allocation (permanent
and temporary) to another entity. The
NMFS also collects information for cost
recovery purposes as required under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act to collect fees to
recover the costs directly related to
management, data collection and
analysis, and enforcement of IFQ
programs. Lastly, NMFS collects
landings information to ensure that the
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
30865
amounts of tilefish landed and ex-vessel
prices are properly recorded for quota
monitoring purposes and the calculation
of IFQ fees, respectively. Having this
information results in an increasingly
more efficient and accurate database for
management and monitoring of fisheries
of the Northeastern U.S. EEZ.
II. Method of Collection
The IFQ Allocation permit
application, IFQ holder cap form, and
the IFQ transfer form are paper
applications. These applications can be
filled out online, but must be printed
and signed to complete. The IFQ cost
recovery process is entirely online at
www.pay.gov and the IFQ reporting
requirements are completed through a
phone call to NMFS interactive voice
response phone line.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0590.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
79.
Estimated Time per Response: IFQ
Allocation Permit Application, 30
minutes; IFQ Holder Cap Form, 5
minutes; IFQ Transfer Form, 5 minutes;
IFQ Cost Recovery, 2 hours; IFQ
Reporting Requirements, 2 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 53.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $23.
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
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
