Abstract:
This is a request for a revision of a currently approved information collection to support new information collections associated with Amendment 20 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid and Butterfish (MSB) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council adopted Amendment 20 to reduce latent effort in the longfin squid fishery and adjust the management of the longfin squid fishery during Trimester 2 (May through August). The objectives of this action are to remove unused or minimally used squid permits to maximize economic opportunities for active participants in the fishery and to reduce the potential negative impacts of excessive fishing effort on inshore spawning aggregations and squid egg mops during Trimester 2.

Program Changes: An increase in the number of responses from the public (41,464 to 42,450), burden hours (3,385 to 4,831.26), and costs to the public ($111,806 to $112,012) is due to: 1) Amendment 20 creates the opportunity for permit holders to swap permits in order to best maximize their business; 2) Amendment 20 will require longfin squid permit holders that have not been issued a longfin squid Tier 3 moratorium permit to complete an application for a Tier 3 longfin squid moratorium permit and; 3) Those vessels who do not qualify for a Tier 1 or Tier 3 permit can appeal that initial decision and request to be issued a SMB 1A permit through an appeals process. This requires an appellant to submit a letter with documented support of their appeal.
