Abstract:
This revision request would remove existing information collection requirements for certain respondents to use the Federal Permit Application for Southeast Region Issued Operator Card (referred to as an operator card or an operator permit). The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) has finalized Amendment 10 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Dolphin and Wahoo Fishery of the Atlantic (Amendment 10). NMFS has approved Amendment 10 and final rule (RIN 0648-BL00) would remove the requirement for an operator permit in the Atlantic dolphin and wahoo fishery. As part of the proposed regulatory change, NMFS proposes to revise 0648-0205 by removing the associated information collection. The information collections in 0648-0205 consist of applications for permits that are a mandatory part of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) program in the Southeast Regional Office (SERO) to manage commercial, recreational, and aquaculture fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean. In addition, this collection also contains fisheries’ reporting, notification, and registration forms and requirements. The fisheries in the southeast region are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and regulations at 50 CFR parts 300, 622, and 635. NMFS issues permits to fishing vessels, vessel operators, and dealers, among others, in order to collect information necessary to comply with domestic and international fisheries obligations, secure compliance with regulations, and disseminate necessary information.
