Abstract:
Fishing vessels permitted to participate in Federally permitted fisheries in the Northeast Region are required to submit logbooks containing catch and effort information about their fishing trips. Participants in the tilefish and open access herring fisheries are also required to make reports on the catch through an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. In addition, vessels fishing under the Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) or Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside (RSA) programs are required to submit research catch information through the IVR system. This revision/extensionremoves the information collection for the halibut fishery, in which halibut participants were asked to make voluntary reports on the size of halibut caught and time of day caught. These reports are no longer collected. Special Access Management programs are being transferred to OMB Control No. 0648-0605. Two information collections from the 0648-0202 family of forms to this collection as these sources of information are collected through the IVR system. Moving these two collections allows all of the IVR reported information to be captured in one family of forms. The information submitted is needed for the management of the fisheries.
