SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
I. Abstract
The NMFS Southeast Regional Office
manages three commercial individual
fishing quota (IFQ) and individual
transferable quota (ITQ) programs in the
Southeast Region under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq. The IFQ programs for red
snapper, and groupers and tilefishes
occur in Federal waters of the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf), and the ITQ program for
wreckfish occurs in Federal waters of
the South Atlantic.
The NMFS Southeast Regional Office
proposes to extend and revise parts of
the information collection currently
approved under OMB Control Number
0648–0551. This collection of
information tracks the transfer and use
of IFQ and ITQ shares, and IFQ
allocation and landings by commercial
fishermen necessary for NMFS to
operate, administer, and review
management of the IFQ and ITQ
programs. Regulations for the IFQ and
ITQ programs are located at 50 CFR part
622.
For the Gulf IFQ programs, the
revisions would collect additional
business and demographic information
on the IFQ Online Account Application,
as well as add a requirement to input
the vessel signature personal
identification number (PIN) a second
time on the Dealer Landing Transaction
Report if a criterion is met. NMFS
would make revisions to the IFQ Online
Account Application to obtain
ownership percentage data for any
business that participates in the Gulf
IFQ programs, as well as the type of
business, and confirmation of whether
the business is small or large, as defined
by Small Business Administration
standards. NMFS would revise the
Dealer Landing Transaction Report to
add a requirement for a shareholder to
input the vessel signature PIN a second
time if the landing transaction would
result in a 10 percent overage of their
catch allocation during that fishing year.
NMFS proposes to add a feature to the
Dealer Landing Transaction Report that
would notify the shareholder that a 10
percent overage would occur and in
which categories, and require the vessel
signature PIN to accept the overage.
Although the 10 percent overage is
utilized infrequently, this would
provide the shareholder the opportunity
to transfer allocation and avoid using
the 10 percent overage.
The purpose of revising the IFQ
Online Account Application is to better
comply with National Standard 4 (NS4)
of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the
E:\FR\FM\01DEN1.SGM
01DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), and
the Small Business Administration’s
regulations implementing the RFA,
Executive Order 12898, and the
‘‘fairness and equitable distribution’’
provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, including NS4 and section
303(b)(6). The purpose of revising the
Dealer Landing Transaction Report is to
better inform participants in the Gulf
IFQ programs and require an additional
verification from them when the
existing flexibility measure of a 10
percent overage of their allocation
would occur.
If implemented by NMFS, these
administrative revisions would slightly
increase the estimated time per response
to complete the IFQ Online Account
Application. NMFS estimates the time
per response would increase from 10 to
13 minutes. However, the estimated
time per response for the Dealer
Landing Transaction Report is not
expected to change. The cost of both the
IFQ Online Account Application and
the Dealer Landing Transaction Report
would remain the same. NMFS proposes
no other revisions to the existing
information collections for the IFQ and
ITQ programs approved in OMB Control
No. 0648–0551.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES4
II. Method of Collection
Information for the Gulf red snapper,
and grouper and tilefish IFQ programs
is collected electronically via a webbased system, through satellite-linked
vessel monitoring systems, through a
24-hour call line, and with paper form
submission for landing corrections,
closing an account, and account
applications, as well as landing
transactions under catastrophic
circumstances. The proposed revision
would not change the methods currently
used to collect information.
The share transfer process in the
wreckfish ITQ program requires the
signatures of witnesses on paper forms.
The wreckfish ITQ program remains
paper-based until the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS consider whether to implement
an electronic system. NMFS is not
proposing to change the wreckfish ITQ
program or information collection.
