RIN 0648-BB56, for Amendment 18A to the South Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery management plan, requires modifications of information collection requirements to this information collection. The Amendment 15B final rule reporting burden included only 2 percent of the commercial and for-hire fleets for electronic logbook (ELB) installation and downloads. Amendment 18A proposed rule includes the entire for-hire snapper-grouper fleet, made up of 1,487 for-hire vessels (2010 data) to be included in the ELB program for installation and downloads. In addition, there will be up to 104 appeals regarding black sea bass pot gear endorsement designations. This will increase the public reporting burden for this information collection.
