Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests OMB merge the 0648-0800 temporary information collection into the recently approved 0648-0605 information collection, Northeast Multispecies Reporting Requirements. Due to the concurrent timing of the rulemaking for 0648-BK17 and the timing of the renewal of the collection of information 0648-0605, Northeast Multispecies Reporting Requirements, a temporary collection was created for the rule-related collection. This request seeks to merge the new temporary collection (0648-0800) with 0648-0605 now that all actions have been resolved. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) promulgated a rule (0648-BK17) in 2022 to add a dockside monitoring requirement for vessels electing to use maximized retention electronic monitoring (MREM) to meet the existing monitoring requirement. Notice was provided to the public in both the proposed rule (87 FR 11014) and final rule (87 FR75852) of the creation of a temporary collection for the collection of dockside monitoring service provider requirements that would be merged into 0648-0605 upon resolution of the extension to 0648-0605 and the approval of the final rule package in 0648-0800. The merging of these collections would add 49,204 responses, 16,276 burden hours, and $2,805,888 in miscellaneous costs to 0648-0605.
