Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 105 / Monday, June 2, 2014 / Notices
Atlantic Fishery Management Council to
prepare and amend fishery management
plans for any fishery in waters under
their jurisdictions. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
manages three individual fishing quota
(IFQ)/individual transferable quota
(ITQ) programs in the Southeast Region.
In 1992, an ITQ program for commercial
wreckfish in the South Atlantic
Exclusive Economic Zone was
implemented through Amendment 5 to
the Fishery Management Plan for the
Snapper-Grouper Fishery in the South
Atlantic Region (South Atlantic
Snapper-Grouper FMP). In 2007, a
commercial red snapper IFQ program
was implemented through Amendment
26 to the Fishery Management Plan for
Gulf Reef Fish Resources in the Gulf of
Mexico) Gulf Reef Fish FMP). In 2010,
a commercial grouper and tilefish IFQ
program was implemented through
Amendment 29 to the Gulf Reef Fish
FMP.
The collection of information
addresses IFQ share certificate and
allocation debits and transfers, as well
as collection of landings information
necessary to operate, administer, and
review management of commercial red
snapper, and grouper/tilefish in the Gulf
of Mexico and wreckfish in the South
Atlantic.

II. Method of Collection
Information for the Gulf red snapper
and grouper/tilefish IFQ programs is
collected via a web-based system, and
through a 24-hour call hot line, with
paper submission an option only in
catastrophic circumstances.
The wreckfish share transfer process
requires the signatures of witnesses.
With only four respondents, it is not
cost effective to set up an information
technology system to handle this.
