Participants in the
federally-regulated fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the
South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean are required to
obtain federal permits under the existing permit program for the
specific Fishery Management Plans of each region. National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) needs information from the applications and
associated data collections to identify fishing
vessels/dealers/participants, properly manage the fisheries, and
generate fishery-related data. The proposed rule, RIN 0648-BC12,
Generic Dealer Amendment, would revise OMB Control No. 0648-0205 by
adding 700 new dealers who would be required to complete a Federal
Permit Application for an Annual Dealer Permit and adding "doing
business as" (DBA) names, email addresses, Southeast Regional
Office (SERO) dealer numbers (if they have one already), removing
the fishery-specific check boxes, adding the "Gulf and South
Atlantic Dealer Permit" (GSAD) check box, adding a checkbox to find
out if the dealer's address is also a facility, and adding
clarification in the instructions about what is required for state
wholesale licenses on the Federal Permit Application for an Annual
Dealer Permit.

For the annual dealer permit,
there are currently 426 respondents, 426 responses, 20 minutes per
response, and a total of 144 burden hours. The proposed rule, RIN
0648-BC12, the Generic Dealer Amendment, would add approximately
700 respondents, 700 responses, and 237 burden hours. The
additional time for filling out the DBA information, the email
addresses, and the dealer numbers would not be estimated to
increase the average time per response. For the Vessel Permits for
Fishing in the EEZ, there are currently 7,412 respondents, 7,412
responses, 40 minutes per response, and a total of 4,941 burden
hours. The DBA information would not be estimated to increase the
burden hours. The proposed rule RIN 0648-BC12, the Generic Dealer
Amendment, would add $49,000 in dealer permit fees and $315 in mail
costs for a new total of $539,949.
