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: Southeast Region Gulf of
Mexico Mandatory Shrimp Vessel and
Gear Characterization Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0542.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,410.
Average Time Per Response: 30
minutes.
Burden Hours: 705.
Needs and Uses: The MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act authorizes the Gulf of
Mexico Fishery Management Council
(Council) to prepare and amend fishery
management plans for any fishery in
waters under its jurisdiction. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) manages the commercial
shrimp fishery in Federal waters of the
Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) under the Fishery
Management Plan for the Shrimp
Fishery of the Gulf.
Owners or operators of vessels
applying for or renewing a commercial
vessel permit for the Gulf shrimp fishery
must complete an annual Gulf Shrimp
Vessel and Gear Characterization Form.
NMFS provides the form to each permit
holder in January each year, and the
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

form is due to NMFS prior to the
submission of a permit application for
renewal or transfer. Compliance with
this reporting requirement is required
for permit issuance and renewal. The
regulations requiring the Gulf Shrimp
Vessel and Gear Characterization Form
may be found at 50 CFR 622.51(a)(3).
Through this form, NMFS collects
census-level information on fishing
vessel and gear characteristics in the
Gulf shrimp fishery to conduct analyses
that will improve management decisionmaking in this fishery. In addition, these
analyses ensure that national goals,
objectives, and requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, National
Environmental Policy Act, Regulatory
Flexibility Act, Endangered Species Act,
and Executive Order 12866 are met; and
quantify achievement of the
performance measures in the NMFS’
Operating Plans. This information is
vital in assessing the economic, social,
and environmental effects of fishery
management decisions and regulations
on individual shrimp fishing
enterprises, fishing communities, and
the nation as a whole.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations, and individuals
or households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
