Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: NOAA Fisheries Greater
Atlantic Region Gear Identification
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0351.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 5,339.
Average Hours per Response: One
minute per gear string.
Burden Hours: 18,592.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection. Regulations at
50 CFR 648.84(a), (b), and (d),
648.123(b)(3), 648.144(b)(1),
648.264(a)(5), and 697.21(a) and (b)
require that Federal Fisheries permit
holders using certain types of fishing
gear, mark the gear with specified
information for the purposes of vessel
and gear identification (e.g., hull
identification number, Federal fishing
permit number, etc.). The regulations
also specify how the gear is to be
marked for the purposes of visibility
(e.g., buoys, radar reflectors, etc.).
The quantity of gear in this collection
is distinguished by the number of
attached end lines associated with each
string of hooks, pots, or traps. As such,
a single Federal permit holder may be
responsible for marking several strings
of a given gear type, or may use multiple
different gear types that require
marking. These gear marking
requirements aid in fishery law
enforcement, make the gear more visible
to other vessels to aid in navigation, and
provide other fisherman with
information regarding the gear type
being used to help prevent gear
conflicts.
