Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,848. Needs and Uses: This request is for an extension of a currently approved collection associated with the Atlantic herring fishery. 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 Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The New England Fishery Management Council prepared the FMP pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79873 Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The regulations implementing the FMP are specified at 50 CFR part 648 and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements at § 648.11 form the basis for this collection of information. In 2014, NMFS implemented Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring FMP to improve the collection of realtime and accurate catch information for the Atlantic herring fishery; enhance the monitoring and sampling of catch at-sea; and address bycatch issues, in particular bycatch of river herrings and shads, through responsible management. In 2020, NMFS implemented the New England Industry Funded Monitoring (IFM) Omnibus Amendment to increase monitoring in certain FMPs, above levels required by the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology (SBRM), to assess the amount and type of catch and to reduce variability around catch estimates. This amendment created a structure by which industry funding would be used in conjunction with available federal funding to pay for additional monitoring to meet FMP-specific coverage targets and required IFM in the Atlantic herring fishery. We request the continued collection of the following information to improve monitoring and the collection of catch information in the Atlantic herring fishery: • Observer notification requirement for permitted herring vessels to facilitate SBRM and IFM coverage; • Requirement for vessel captains to submit a Released Catch Affidavit form documenting the discarding of unsampled catch; • A requirement that Category A and B Atlantic herring permit holders pay for vessel at-sea monitoring costs, estimated to be up to $710 per sea day, on trips selected for IFM coverage (50% coverage target); • The option for Category A and B Atlantic herring permit holders that fish with midwater trawl gear to obtain an IFM observer allowing the vessel to fish in groundfish closed areas and pay for the vessel’s at-sea monitoring costs, estimated to be up to $818 per sea day; and • Requirements for IFM monitor service providers to submit reports to NMFS on behalf of Category A or B Atlantic herring permitted vessels or for meeting service provider responsibilities for service provider approval and to facilitate accurate catch monitoring. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: As-needed. E:\FR\FM\28DEN1.SGM 28DEN1
