Abstract: We are requesting a change to the Federal Permit Application for Vessels Fishing in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), per Amendment 31 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan as laid out in Final Rule 0648-AX67: the addition of a checkbox for an Eastern Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Bottom Long Line Endorsement (RRLE), for those renewing permit holders requesting the endorsement. An estimated 61 vessels will qualify for the endorsement: those already possessing a Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Permit (RR) and having a record of the required amount of landings. The estimated burden for or reviewing instructions and checking the RRLE box is estimated to be less than one minute per response, for a total of 1 hour of additional burden. Additionally, the final rule contains the option for Gulf reef fish permit holders to appeal longline endorsement eligibility and/or landings information.
