Abstract:
Participants in the federally-regulated fisheries in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic are required to obtain Federal permits under the existing permit program for the specific fishery management plans of each region. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) needs information from the applications and associated data collections to identify fishing vessels, dealers, and participants, as well as properly manage the fisheries and generate fishery-related data. The proposed changes to this collection involve a number of administrative changes to specified application forms
