The
subject permit is requested 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 applicant requests a five-year
permit to conduct research in Southwest
Florida Bay to monitor the abundance of
loggerhead and green sea turtles,
characterize the aggregations of
loggerheads, Kemp’s ridleys, and
hawksbills, and determine the
movements, behaviors, and habitat-use
of loggerheads. The research will be
late-spring to late-summer (May-August)
in southwestern Florida Bay and within
the boundaries of the Everglades NP in
the vicinity of Arsnicker, Rabbit, and
Twin Keys. The applicant expects to
approach and count up to 100 green sea
turtles annually during vessel surveys
and to capture up to 125 loggerheads, 10
Kemp’s ridleys, and 5 hawksbills
annually. Sea turtles will be captured by
hand and the following procedures
would be performed before release:
Measure, photograph, weigh, flipper
tagging, passive integrated transponder
tagging, temporary carapace marking,
and blood sample. Up to 10 of the
loggerheads also would have tumors
tissue sampled annually.

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: Marine Recreational Information
Program, Access-Point Angler Intercept
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0659.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 95,000.
Average Hours Per Response: 5
minutes.
Burden Hours: 7,917.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Marine recreational anglers are
surveyed to collect catch and effort data,
fish biology data, and angler
socioeconomic characteristics. These
data are required to carry out provisions
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended,
regarding conservation and management
of fishery resources.
Marine recreational fishing catch and
effort data are collected through a
combination of mail surveys, telephone
surveys and on-site intercept surveys
with recreational anglers. Amendments
to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) require the development of an
improved data collection program for
recreational fisheries. To partially meet
these requirements, NOAA Fisheries
designed and implemented a new
Access-Point Angler Intercept Survey
(APAIS) in 2013 to ensure better
coverage and representation of
recreational fishing activity.
The APAIS intercepts marine
recreational fishers at public-access sites
in coastal counties from Maine to
