Approval for
this Information Collection will not become effective until the
effective date of the Final Rule (Amend- ments to the Atlantic Tuna
Fisheries Regulations at 50 CFR 630). This Information Collection
will need to be resubmitted to OMB for review if the Final Rule
contains any changes that substn- tively or materially alter the
burden or nature of the Infor- mation Collection The OMB Control
Number on the Federal Fisheries Permit Application will need to be
changed to reflect this approval. OMB requests that NOAA submit a
copy of this form with the appropriate OMB Control Number when the
Information Collection is implemented. OMB recommends that NOAA
review the data obtained through this Information Collection one
year after it becomes effective, and confirm the burden estimates
provided in the Information Collection Request. In the event that
the actual reporting burden differs from the predicted burden, OMB
requests that NOAA submit a revised burden estimate for
review.
