Abstract:
This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. Initial vessel permits, initial operator permits, initial dealer permits, vessel permit renewals, operator permit renewals, dealer permit renewals, Letter of Authorization (LOA), and gillnet tag certificates have been moved to an online system (FishOnline) and paper versions have been removed. Postage costs for associated permit renewals and LOA have been removed as a result of this change. Email and account information requirements have been added for the above applications. Also, automatic VMS polling has been removed from this collection as there is no burden on the vessel captain or crew for this activity.
