Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests OMB merge the 0648-0806 temporary information collection into approved information collection 0648-0212, Greater Atlantic Region Logbook Family of Forms. Due to the concurrent timing of the rulemaking for 0648-BF01 and multiple revisions to the collection of information 0648-0212, Greater Atlantic Region Logbook Family of Forms, a temporary collection was created for the rule-related collection. This request seeks to merge the new temporary collection (0648-0806) with 0648-0212 now that all actions have been resolved. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) promulgated a rule (0648-BF01) in 2022 to implement an electronic Harvester Reporting Program for Federal American lobster permit holders in the Greater Atlantic Region. Notice was provided to the public in both the proposed rule (87 FR 41084) and final rule (88 FR 67667) of the creation of a temporary collection for the electronic Harvester Reporting Program that would be merged into 0648-0212 upon resolution of the revision and extension to 0648-0212 and the approval of the final rule package in 0648-0806. The merging of these collections would add 85,123 annual responses, 9,959 burden hours, and $203,562 labor costs to OMB Control Number 0648-0212.
