Abstract: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) manages the red snapper fishery in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico under the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program was implemented to reduce the overcapacity in the fishery and end the derby fishing conditions that resulted from that overcapitalization. This request will add a "close IFQ account" form as well as merge OMB Control No.s 0648-0262 and -0587 into the current collection.

Short Statement: This request merges two information collections into OMB Control No. 0648-0551: OMB Control No. 0648-0587 and OMB Control No. 0648-0262. A new form is also added, and these additional program changes: Additional program changes: For all IFQ share transfers, using the current 0648-0551 forms, the previous time of 15 minutes for the Grouper and Tilefish transfers has been changed to 2 minutes, thus saving 52 hours. For OMB Control No. 0648-0587, although the cost recovery fee was discussed in the last supporting statement, it was not included in recordkeeping/reporting costs. In more recent ICRs, including that for OMB Control No. 0648-0551, they are included. Thus, we have added these cost recovery fees at this time: $647,452. For OMB Control No. 0648-0587, appeals have been removed, as they were only applicable at the beginning of the program. This removes 2 responses, 4 hours and $1. The final new totals are thus: 1,644 respondents, 28,244 responses, 2,283 hours and $980,499.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $436,000
