Program/Buyback Requests
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested

Title: Fishing Capacity Reduction
Program/Buyback Requests.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0376.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 200.
Average Hours Per Response: 0.5
hours for buyback fee collection reports;
4 hours for buyback annual reports.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 930
hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA)
amended the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) to provide for voluntary
reduction of excess fishing capacity
through fishing capacity reduction
(buyback) programs. Excess fishing
capacity decreases fisheries earnings,
complicates fishery management, and
imperils fishery conservation. The
statutory objective of a program is ‘‘to
obtain the maximum sustained
reduction in fishing capacity at the least
cost and in a minimum period of time.’’
Buybacks pay fishermen either to: (1)
Surrender their fishing permits; or (2)
both surrender their permits and either
scrap their fishing vessels or restrict
vessel title to prevent fishing. Buybacks
