I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
current information collection.
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) established programs to reduce
excess fishing capacity by paying
fishermen to surrender their vessels/
permits. These fishing capacity
reduction programs, or buybacks, are
conducted pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, and the MagnusonStevens Reauthorization Act (Pub. L.
109–479). The buybacks can be funded
by a Federal loan to the industry or by
direct Federal or other funding. Buyback
regulations are at 50 CFR part 600.
The information collected by NMFS
involves the submission of buyback
requests by industry, submission of
bids, referenda of fishery participants
and reporting of collection of fees to
repay buyback loans. For buybacks
involving State-managed fisheries, the
State may be involved in developing the
buyback plan and complying with other
information requirements. NMFS
requests information from participating
buyback participants to track
repayments of the loans as well as
ensure accurate management and
monitoring of the loans. The
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at 50 CFR parts 600.1013
through 600.1017 form the basis for the
collection of information.
II. Method of Collection
The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
SUMMARY:
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
