Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular
submission—extension of a current

NMFS Greater Atlantic Region
manages the golden tilefish fishery of
the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of
the Northeastern United States, through
the Tilefish 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 subpart N.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at § 648.294 form the basis
for this collection of information. NMFS
requests information from tilefish
individual fishing quota (IFQ) permit
holders to process applications that
ensure IFQ allocation holders are
provided a statement of their annual
catch quota, and for enforcement
purposes, to ensure vessels are not
exceeding an individual quota
allocation. In conjunction with the
application, NMFS also collects IFQ
share accumulation information to
ensure that IFQ allocation holders do
not acquire an excessive share of the
total limited access privileges, as
required by section 303A(d)(5)(C) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act.
NMFS requests transfer application
information to process and track
requests from allocation holders to
transfer quota allocation (permanent
and temporary) to another entity. NMFS
also collects information for cost
recovery purposes as required under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Cost recovery is
used to collect fees to recover the costs
directly related to management, data
collection and analysis, and
enforcement of IFQ programs. Lastly,
NMFS collects landings information to
ensure that the amounts of tilefish
landed and ex-vessel prices are properly
recorded for quota monitoring purposes
and the calculation of IFQ fees. Having
this information results in an
increasingly more efficient and accurate
database for management and
monitoring of fisheries of the
Northeastern U.S. EEZ.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
