Abstract:
In January 2011, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl rationalization program, a catch share program, for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery's trawl fleet. Since that time, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NMFS have been addressing implementation issues as they arise, some of which are the subject of this proposed rule. The Council took final action at its June 2011 meeting on some trailing actions, including revisions to existing language to provide greater clarity and to remove outdated language and include some minor changes to the existing program. Some of these changes require a revision to this existing information collection. Specifically, the proposed regulations will allow Mothership (MS) catcher vessel (CV) endorsements and whiting catch history assignments (CHA) to be transferred between trawl permits. This will necessitate a new information collection. In addition, the MS coop permit application must be revised to gather unique identifier numbers for MS/CV endorsements and CHA that will be obligated to the coop. This request is a resubmission with the FR, no changes.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Increase Due to:
Changing Regulations
Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
No
Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
Program Change associated with a change in burden: Previously, NMFS issued a single MS/CV endorsement and whiting CHA to trawl limited entry permit and current regulations do not allow for the endorsement and CHA to be separated from the permit. The proposed regulation will allow permit owners to sever their endorsement and CHA allocation from the permit and register them to another trawl permit and for a single trawl permit to have multiple endorsements and CHA allocations. This change adds 6 hours and $64 in recordkeeping/reporting costs.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$700,000
