SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for a revision to the
existing reporting requirements
approved under OMB Control No. 0648–
0205, Southeast Region Permit Family
of Forms. The SERO Permits Office
(Southeast Permits Office) administers
Federal fishing permits in the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf), South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Sea under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801. The Southeast Permits
Office proposes to revise two parts of
the collection-of-information approved
under OMB Control Number 0648–0205.
Currently, NMFS requires fishermen
(respondents) to display one adhesive
decal on their vessel indicating that they
have a Federal fishing permit in at least
one of two Gulf fisheries; the applicable
permits are the Charter Vessel/Headboat
Permit for Gulf Reef Fish, the Charter
Vessel/Headboat Permit for Gulf Coastal
Migratory Pelagic fish, and their
respective Historical Captain
endorsements. NMFS proposes to revise
OMB Control Number 0648–0205 to
split the single decal covering both
fisheries into two decals, with one decal
administered with each specific fishery
permit or endorsement. In addition, this
revision also addresses a new fee of $10
per decal to cover administrative costs,
as required by NOAA Finance
Handbook, Exhibit 9–1. The Federal
Permit Application for Vessels Fishing
in the Exclusive Economic Zone would
also be revised to reflect the new fee.
The decal is currently issued at no cost
to permit applicants. These decals allow
individuals and law enforcement
officials to easily identify vessels that
have Federal permits.
NMFS estimates this revision could
affect up to 1,331 respondents
(applicants), which is the total number
of permitted charter and headboat
vessels in these limited access fisheries,
including the Historical Captain
endorsements for each fishery. The
maximum number of permits and
endorsements at this time is 2,645.
Generally, the 1,331 respondents have a
set of 2 permits, but it is not required.
Each of the two permits or
endorsements that a respondent may
have can be split up and held by two
respondents. Some of these have been
split up and that is why there is an odd
number of permits, and the number of
respondents is not exactly half of the
maximum number of permits and
endorsements.
Because of the new fee and
instructions, NMFS has revised the time
burden required to indicate which

Fmt 4703

1173

permit the respondent is renewing or
transferring up to 30 seconds. The time
burden estimated for this part of the
revision is 11.1 hours annually.
Although it is not expected, all 1,331
respondents could potentially renew, or
transfer or obtain 2 different permits or
endorsements, requiring up to 2 decals
to be purchased. NMFS estimates the
total annual cost at up to $26,450.
The Southeast Permits Office is also
proposing to collect additional
information on five applications for
economic analysis and for purposes of
notifying respondents. These data
include race, sex, and business type and
ownership information, as well as email
addresses and the option to provide
cellular contact information for digital
notifications. The revision will also
include a small business certification
section, so NMFS can determine if the
respondent is a small or large business
according to standards established by
the Small Business Administration.
These proposed revisions will not
change the current cost burden but will
increase the annual time burden for
respondents. NMFS estimates this
revision could affect up to 6,641
respondents across the 5 applications
being revised, which includes the 1,331
respondents described above. The time
burden estimated for this part of the
revision is 925.9 hours annually.
NMFS estimates that the requested
revision would add 0 respondents,
6,641 responses, 937 burden hours, and
$26,450 in total costs annually to the
collection-of-information under OMB
Control Number 0648–0205.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents complete applications
on paper forms, and then can either
mail or bring applications to the
Southeast Permits Office. Online
application renewals are currently
available only for some of the permits
included on the Federal Permit
Application for Vessels Fishing in the
Exclusive Economic Zone. The
Southeast Permits Office can mail
applications and instructions or they
can be downloaded from the Southeast
Permits Office Web site at
sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/permits. The
Southeast Permits Office cannot send or
receive applications by fax or email,
because applications must have an
original signature, which is not possible
by fax or email.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0205.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision of current information
collection).
