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. This collection is revised to add the collection of an International Maritime Organization/ Lloyd's Registry (IMO/LR) number to the permit application for commercial HMS vessels ≥ 20 meters (65' 7") in length. Additional data elements will be required for the live rock site report. The VMS requirement for rock shrimp vessels is being transferred to OMB Control No. 0648-0544.

Short Statement:
For the one-time requirement to obtain the IMO/LR number from HMS permitted vessels when they obtain or renew their permit, NMFS adds 50 respondents, 50 responses, and 25 burden hours (30 minutes/response) annually to this collection of information. For the South Atlantic rock shrimp VMS requirement that is being removed from this collection and transferred to the 0648-0544 collection, the number of responses removed from this collection is 168 and the number of burden hours is 336. Also, the cost burden of $95,088 ($61,488 for the VMS manufacturer monthly fee and the VMS transmission costs for 168 vessels) is removed from this collection. Adjustment: The changes in responses, burden and cost for the revised rock shrimp reporting form are not due to the changes in the form, but due to a more realistic and current assessment of the number of reports per year. There are 18 permit holders for Aquacultured Live Rock and it is estimated that approximately 36 reports will be submitted each year, at an average of 15 minutes per response. The current burden time associated with this form is 0 hours (per the 0205 renewal submitted in 2013, in association with Am 18B). Therefore, the additional burden time is 9 hours (36 reports x 15 min/60 min = 9 hours) and at $0.49 mailing costs for the additional 35 report, $17 is added to the recordkeeping/reporting costs.
