Abstract:
This request is for a revision, per RIN 0648-BG91, of the information collection to support regulatory requirements of the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP). FMPs for Federal Fisheries managed under the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are developed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The additional items added to this collection include: • Change from a phone-based observer pre-trip notification system (PTNS) to a web-based system (PTNS 2.0); • A requirement that Category A and B Atlantic herring permit holders contribute up to $710 per sea day to cover IFM at-sea monitor (ASM) costs on trips selected for coverage (50% coverage target); • The option for Category A and B Atlantic herring permit holders that fish with midwater trawl gear to contribute up to $818 per sea day for an IFM observer. This would allow the vessel to fish in groundfish closed areas; • Requirements for IFM monitor service providers.
