Abstract: This request is for a revision of a currently approved collection of information (#0573). The collection is being revised to add new declaration codes on the Declaration Code Worksheet that correspond to new gear types being permitted in the Non-Trawl Rockfish Conservation Area (Non-Trawl RCA) for the limited entry fixed gear (LEFG) groundfish sector and vessels that gear switch under the Trawl Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) program (i.e., IFQ gear switchers). No other changes are being proposed for the collection of information. A proposed rule, RIN 0648-BM28, will be published coincident with this submission. Comments on the proposed rule will be considered and, as appropriate, be addressed in the final rule.
