OMB Control Number: 0648–0619. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently approved information collection). Number of Respondents: 153. Average Hours per Response: 10 hours for a Provider permit, 2 hours for an annual renewal, 4 hours each for appeals and catch monitoring plans; 2 hours for an inspection; 10 minutes for first receiver reports; 1 minute for Pacific whiting disposition recordkeeping; 30 minutes for daily atsea scale testing reports, 10 minutes for daily at-sea scale catch and cumulative weight reports, 1 minute each for at-sea scale audit trail, at-sea scale calibration log, and at-sea scale fault log, and 0 minutes for at-sea scale video monitoring. Burden Hours: 447. Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. In January 2011, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl rationalization program, a catch share program, for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery’s trawl fleet. The program was developed through Amendment 20 to the Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and consists of an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for the shorebased trawl fleet (including whiting and non-whiting fisheries); and cooperative (coop) programs for the atsea mothership (MS) and catcher/ processor (C/P) trawl fleets (whiting only). Fixed allocations to the limited entry trawl fleet were developed through a parallel process with Amendment 21 to the FMP. The regulations implementing the program were effective January 1, 2011; all of the necessary tracking systems to make the program operational became active on January 11, 2011, the date fishing began under the new program. Since that time, the Council and NMFS have been addressing implementation issues as they arise. To achieve individual accountability for catch and bycatch and track total catch, the shorebased IFQ Program is subject to 100 percent monitoring both at-sea and dockside. In addition to 100 percent monitoring atsea, motherships and catcher/processors are subject to flow scale requirements that include daily testing, reporting, and an annual inspection. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Apr 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 Several of the information collections have been merged into other information collections (OMB Control No. 0648–0620 and OMB Control No. 0648–0738) where they have a better fit, and thus the burden and cost for this collection has decreased. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or households. Frequency: Daily, weekly, on occasion, annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 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@ omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is held to review the SARIMA model proposed for use in management SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17535 analyses by SERO staff. The SSC decided at their October 24–26, 2017 meeting in Charleston, SC that the complexity of the SARIMA model made it less favorable as a management tool. They also determined that the method using the last 3 years of fishery data was likely more representative of the current fishery than using the entire time series, as was done in the SARIMA model. However, the SEP also reviewed the SARIMA model and concluded that in principle, the SARIMA model is superior to using average catch rates from the last 3 years. The SEP’s recommendation was to present both models to the Council as both have pros and cons. Items to be addressed during this meeting Review the proposed SARIMA model and provide comments and recommendations as necessary.
