Abstract:
This request is for emergency revision of this information collection, in conjunction with Final Rule 0648-BE75. In the proposed rule, there was discussion of requiring a daily fishing report in place of the current trip-level report, for haddock. Public comment supported such a change, and because the catch quota is very low, we need to implement this change in reporting requirements by May 1, in order to avoid exceeding the quota.
