SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision to a
currently approved information
collection. The Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA) authorizes and requires that
the Secretary of Commerce maintain a
cost recovery program to recover the
management, data collection and
analysis, and enforcement costs of the
limited access privilege programs, such
as the Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl
Rationalization Program (Trawl
Program). Cost recovery fees may not
exceed three percent of the ex-vessel
value. The Trawl Program cost recovery
program requires fish sellers to submit
fees to fish buyers who then submit
those fees to NOAA’s National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). Fish buyers
must also submit information to NMFS
on the volume and value of harvested
groundfish when submitting the fees.
Information is collected from monthly
and annual payment transactions and
reports as well as non-payment
documents when necessary. This
revision would add the applicable fish
ticket number to each IFQ Pay.Gov
payment transaction.
The information collected is used to
track the payment of cost recovery fees,
reconcile cost recovery payments with
landings data from other sources,
calculate average ex-vessel values, and,
if necessary, help in the resolution of
non-payment issues.
This program is authorized under the
Pacific coast groundfish fishery

Catcher Processor sector submits cost
recovery fees online yearly through
Pay.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension to the
existing reporting requirements
approved under the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
Control Number 0648–0205, Southeast
Region Permit Family of Forms. The
NMFS Permits Office within the
Southeast Regional Office (SERO)
administers Federal permits for fishing
in the U.S. exclusive economic zone
(EEZ) of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf), and South Atlantic under
the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.
The NMFS Southeast Region manages
Federal fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf,
and South Atlantic under fishery
management plans (FMPs) in each of
these areas. The regional fishery
management councils prepared the
FMPs pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Act. The regulations
implementing the FMPs, including
those that have recordkeeping and
reporting requirements, are located at 50
CFR part 622 (https://www.ecfr.gov/
current/title-50/chapter-VI/part622?toc=1).
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at 50 CFR part 622 form
the basis for this collection of
information. The NMFS Southeast
Region requests information from
fishery participants. This information
results in an increasingly more efficient
and accurate database for management
and monitoring of the Federal fisheries
in the U.S. Caribbean, Gulf, and South
Atlantic.

Respondents can access forms and
instructions from the SERO Permits
