I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Greater Atlantic Region
manages the golden 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:27 Apr 20, 2016
Jkt 238001
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(d)(5)(C) 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. 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
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 all 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.

This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the Council developed
regulations under the MagnusonStevens Act and the American Fisheries
Act (AFA) to govern commercial fishing

are issued with an indefinite expiration
date. The permanent AFA permits are:
AFA catcher vessel, AFA catcher/

inshore vessel contract fishing permit.
In addition, the AFA vessel replacement
