FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
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
utilizing 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
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
Data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The SEDAR Data Best Practices
Standing Panel is charged with
developing, reviewing, and evaluating
best practice recommendations for
SEDAR Data Workshops. This will be
the second meeting of this group. The

Burden Hours: 2,000.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C.
1801) provides that the Secretary of
Commerce is responsible for the
conservation and management of marine
fisheries resources in Exclusive
Economic Zone (3–200 miles) of the
United States (U.S.). NOAA Fisheries,
West Coast Region—Northwest manages
the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery in
the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off
Washington, Oregon, and California
under the Pacific Coast Groundfish
Fishery Management Plan. The
regulations implementing the Pacific
Groundfish Fishery require that those
vessels participating in the limited entry
fishery to be registered to a valid limited
entry permit. Participation in the fishery
and access to a limited entry permit has
been restricted to control the overall
harvest capacity. The regulations
implementing the limited entry program
are found at 50 CFR part 660, subpart
G.
NOAA Fisheries seeks comment on
the extension of permit information
collections required for: (1) Renewal
and transfer of Pacific Coast Groundfish
limited entry permits; (2)
implementation of certain provisions of
the sablefish permit stacking program as
provided for at 50 CFR 660.231 and
660.25; and (3) issuing and fulfilling the
terms and conditions of certain
exempted fishing permits (EFPs).
Also, NOAA Fisheries requires an
information collection to implement
certain aspects of the sablefish permit
stacking program which prevents
excessive fleet consolidation. As part of
the annual renewal process, NOAA
Fisheries requires a corporation or
partnership that owns or holds (as
vessel owner) a sablefish endorsed
permit to provide a complete ownership
interest form listing all individuals with
ownership interest in the entity.
Similarly, any sablefish endorsed permit
transfer involving registration of a
business entity requires an ownership
interest form if either the permit owner
or vessel owner is a corporation or
partnership. This information is used to
determine if individuals own or hold
sablefish permits in excess of the limit
of 3 permits. Also, for transfer requests
made during the sablefish primary
season (April 1st through October 31st),
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:00 Jul 07, 2016
Jkt 238001
the permit owner is required to report
the remaining tier pounds not yet
harvested on the sablefish endorsed
permit at the time of transfer.
Applicants for an exempted fishing
permit (EFP) must submit written
information that allows NOAA Fisheries
and the Pacific Fishery Management
Council to evaluate the proposed
exempted fishing project activities and
weigh the benefits and costs of the
proposed activities. The Council makes
a recommendation on each EFP
application and for successful
applicants, NOAA Fisheries issues the
EFPs which contains terms and
conditions for the project including
various reporting requirements. The
information included in an application
is specified at 50 CFR 600.745(b)(2) and
the Council Operating Procedure #19.
Permit holders are required to file
preseason harvest plans, interim and/or
final summary reports on the results of
the project and in some cases individual
vessels and other permit holders are
required to provide data reports
(logbooks and/or catch reports The
results of EFPs are commonly used to
explore ways to reduce effort on
depressed stocks, encourage innovation
and efficiency in the fishery, provide
access to constrained stocks which
directly measuring the bycatch
associated with such strategies and
evaluate/revise current and proposed
management measures.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals or
households, not-for-profit institutions;
state, local or tribal government.
Frequency: Annually, semi-annually,
monthly and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
