Warning: A false statement on this form is punishable by permit sanctions (revocation, suspension, or modification) under 15 CFR part 904, a civil
penalty up to $100,000 under 16 USC 1858, and as a federal crime under 18 USC 1001.
The purpose of this information collection is to limit the number of vessels fishing for coastal pelagic species according to the provisions of the Fishery
Management Plan for Coastal Pelagic Species, which was approved by the Secretary of Commerce and implemented by federal regulations on December
15, 1999 (64 FR 69888). The information on this form is mandatory for owners of vessels who wish to participate in the limited entry fishery, and is
required by 50 CFR 660.512. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to Southwest Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean
