shipboard observers, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) who
are on the ocean regularly, as well as
numerous experts on marine debris
observations at sea. The Shipboard
Observation Form for Floating Marine
Debris was created based on methods
used in studies of floating marine debris
by established researchers, previous
shipboard observational studies
conducted at sea by NOAA, and the
experience and input of recreational
sailors. The goal of this form is to be
able to report the amount and types of
visible, floating marine debris within an
area of a water body of a known size.
Additionally, this form will help collect
data on floating marine debris that
could result from future severe marine
debris generating events in order to
model the movement of the debris as
well as prepare (as needed) for debris
arrival. This form can be used to collect
data on floating marine debris in any
water body.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; not-for profit institutions;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Once per year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Marine Debris Act

information collection).
Number of Respondents: 220.
Average Hours per Response: 0.5
hours for fee collection reports; 4 hours
for buyback annual reports.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,020.
Needs and Uses: Many U.S. fisheries
have excess fishing capacity. Excess
fishing capacity decreases earnings,
complicates management, and imperils
conservation. To provide for fishing
capacity reduction programs, in 1996
Congress amended the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act) by adding section 312(b)–(e) (16
U.S.C. 1861a(b)–(e)). The framework
regulations to conduct these reduction
programs were published as an interim
final rule on May 18, 2000 (65 FR

CFR part 600. The repayment of the
Fishing Capacity Reduction industryfunded program is dependent on the
collection of fees by the first purchasers
or processors of the fish from the
buyback fishery. Collecting the
information from the fee collection
reports and annual reports is necessary
to process these loan payments and
maintain the repayment of the loans.
After further review, the following
information collections are being
removed from this renewal as they are
associated with loan creation and no
new loans are anticipated going
forward:
• Fishing capacity reduction program
implementation plans.
• State approvals of implementation
plans and amendments to state Fishery
Management Plans.
• Advance and post-bid referenda
and bids.
• Buyer recordkeeping (fish tickets).
• Buyer/seller reports.
• Advisements of conflicts in
ownership claims.
