Abstract: This revision makes changes to the American Samoa Longline Limited Access Permit application to accommodate regulatory changes in the permit program pursuant to proposed rule 0648-BH65. No changes in burden needed. Fishermen in Federally-managed fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region (central and western Pacific) are required to maintain valid fishing permits on-board their vessels at all times. The permits included in this collection are: Hawaii longline limited entry, American Samoa longline limited entry, Western Pacific (WP) general longline, WP receiving vessel, Pacific Remote Island Areas troll and handline, pelagic squid jig, WP bottomfish (various areas), CNMI bottomfish, Pacific Islands crustaceans, and WP precious coral permits. Permits are generally renewed annually and are needed to identify participants in the fisheries. Permits also are important to help measure impacts of management controls on the participants in the fisheries of the U.S. EEZ in the Pacific Islands Region. Appeals of permit denials, revocations, or suspensions are included. This revision makes changes to the American Samoa Longline Limited Access Permit application to accommodate regulatory changes in the permit program pursuant to proposed rule 0648-BH65. No changes in burden needed.
