with the Atlantic surfclam and ocean
quahog fisheries. National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) Greater
Atlantic Region manages these fisheries
in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
of the Northeastern United States
through the Atlantic Surfclam and
Ocean Quahog Fishery Management
Plan (FMP). The Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council prepared the FMP
pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The
regulations implementing the FMP are
specified at 50 CFR part 648.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at §§ 648.74, 648.75, and
648.76 form the basis for this collection
of information. We request information
from surfclam and ocean quahog
individual transferable quota (ITQ)
permit holders to issue ITQ permits and
to process and track requests from
permit holders to transfer quota share or
cage tags. We also request information
from surfclam and ocean quahog ITQ
permit holders to track and properly
account for surfclam and ocean quahog
harvest shucked at sea. Because there is
not a standard conversion factor for
estimating unshucked product from
shucked product, NMFS requires
vessels that shuck product at sea to
carry on board the vessel a NMFSapproved observer to certify the amount
of these clams harvested. This
information, upon receipt, results in an
efficient and accurate database for
management and monitoring of fisheries
of the Northeastern U.S. EEZ.
Georges Bank has been closed to the
harvest of surfclams and ocean quahogs
since 1990 due to red tide blooms that
cause paralytic shellfish poisoning
(PSP). We reopened a portion of the
Georges Bank Closed Area starting in
2012 under certain conditions. We
request information from surfclam and
ocean quahog ITQ permit holders who
fish in the reopened area to ensure
compliance with the Protocol for
Onboard Screening and Dockside
Testing in Molluscan Shellfish. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, the
commercial fishing industry, and NMFS
developed the PSP protocol to test and
verify that clams harvested from
Georges Bank continue to be safe for
human consumption. The National
Shellfish Sanitation Program adopted
the PSP protocol at the October 2011
Interstate Shellfish Sanitation
Conference.
The Council has approved
Amendment 20 to the Surfclam and
Ocean Quahog FMP, which would
implement an excessive shares cap in
this fishery. If that action is approved
and implemented, some of the fields in

the ITQ ownership form and the ITQ
transfer form may change as a result.
Any revisions to this collection will be
specified in the upcoming proposed rule
for the amendment.
II. Method of Collection
Forms are online at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/new-englandmid-atlantic/resources-fishing/greateratlantic-region-forms-and-applicationssummary as ‘‘fillable’’ pdf documents,
which can then be downloaded, printed,
and faxed, mailed, or emailed to NMFS.
ITQ transfer forms may also be
submitted electronically. Information
for the PSP protocol is submitted
through paper forms, as well as through
electronic methods, including email,
telephone, and shipboard electronic
equipment such as VHF radio, email, or
a vessel monitoring system.

file, information is needed in order to
identify the inventorship and

on its effective filing date. Section 3 of
the AIA, inter alia, amended 35 U.S.C.
102 and 103 consistent with the
objectives of the AIA, including the
conversion of the United States patent
system from a ‘‘first to invent’’ system
to a ‘‘first inventor to file’’ system. The
changes in section 3 of the AIA went
into effect on March 16, 2013, but apply
only to certain applications filed on or
after March 16, 2013.
This information collection covers
information required by 37 CFR 1.55(k),

and 103 as amended by Section 3 of the
Leahy-Smith America Invents Act
(AIA), or 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103, in
effect on March 15, 2013.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Affected Public: Private sector;

Respondents: 99 respondents.
