Abstract: Participants in the federally-regulated fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean are required to obtain federal permits under the existing permit program for the specific Fishery Management Plans of each region. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) needs information from the applications and associated data collections to identify fishing vessels/dealers/participants, properly manage the fisheries, and generate fishery-related data. The proposed rule, RIN 0648-BC12, Generic Dealer Amendment, would revise OMB Control No. 0648-0205 by adding 700 new dealers who would be required to complete a Federal Permit Application for an Annual Dealer Permit and adding "doing business as" (DBA) names, email addresses, Southeast Regional Office (SERO) dealer numbers (if they have one already), removing the fishery-specific check boxes, adding the "Gulf and South Atlantic Dealer Permit" (GSAD) check box, adding a checkbox to find out if the dealer's address is also a facility, and adding clarification in the instructions about what is required for state wholesale licenses on the Federal Permit Application for an Annual Dealer Permit.

Short Statement: For the annual dealer permit, there are currently 426 respondents, 426 responses, 20 minutes per response, and a total of 144 burden hours. The proposed rule, RIN 0648-BC12, the Generic Dealer Amendment, would add approximately 700 respondents, 700 responses, and 237 burden hours. The additional time for filling out the DBA information, the email addresses, and the dealer numbers would not be estimated to increase the average time per response. For the Vessel Permits for Fishing in the EEZ, there are currently 7,412 respondents, 7,412 responses, 40 minutes per response, and a total of 4,941 burden hours. The DBA information would not be estimated to increase the burden hours. The proposed rule RIN 0648-BC12, the Generic Dealer Amendment, would add $49,000 in dealer permit fees and $315 in mail costs for a new total of $539,949.
