vessel. Persons planning to conduct
such research are encouraged to submit
a scientific research plan to ensure that
the activities are considered research
and not fishing. The researchers are
requested to submit reports of their
scientific research activity after its
completion. Eligible researchers on
board federally permitted fishing vessels
that plan to temporarily possess fish in
a manner not compliant with applicable
fishing regulations for the purpose of
collecting scientific data on catch may
submit a request for a temporary
possession letter of authorization. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from
fishery regulations for educational or
other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for
these exemptions must be submitted, as
well as reports on activities.

Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) established the Individual
Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program to improve
the long-term productivity of the
sablefish and Pacific halibut fisheries by
further promoting the conservation and
management objectives of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq., (with respect to
sablefish) and the Northern Pacific
Halibut Act of 1982 (with respect to
Pacific halibut) while retaining the
character and distribution of the fishing
fleets as much as possible. The IFQ
Program includes several provisions,
such as ownership caps and vessel use
caps that protect small harvesters and
processors, part-time participants, and
entry-level participants that otherwise
could be adversely affected by excessive
consolidation.
The IFQ Program also includes other
restrictions to prevent the halibut and
sablefish fisheries from domination by
large boats or by any particular vessel
class. NMFS designed the requirements
to maintain a predominantly owneroperated fishery, which was a key
characteristic of the halibut and
sablefish fisheries prior to the
implementation of the IFQ Program. The
IFQ Program provides each fisherman
an IFQ that can be used any time during
the open season to allow each fisherman
to set his/her own pace and fishing
effort.
Under the IFQ Program, quota share
(QS) represents a harvesting privilege
for a person. Annually, NMFS issues
IFQ to QS holders to harvest specified
poundage. The specific amount of IFQ
held by a person is determined by the
number of QS units held, the total
number of QS units issued in a specific
regulatory area, and the total pounds of
sablefish or halibut allocated for the IFQ
fisheries in a particular year. Fishermen
may harvest the IFQ over the entire
fishing season, which extends
approximately from March through
November 15.
The IFQ Manual Landing Report form
will be removed from this information
collection. This form is approved under
OMB Control Number 0648–0515
(Alaska Interagency Electronic
Reporting System (IERS)) and will
remain in that collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; not-for-profit
institutions; individuals or households.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 4,200.
Average Hours per Response: 30

Needs and Uses: This is a randomized
household survey of Wisconsin state
residents who recreate in the proposed
sanctuary area. This study will:
• Estimate the economic contribution
of recreational expenditures;
• document the spatial distribution
and intensity of recreational activities;
• document and assess awareness and
importance of maritime heritage;
• assess respondents’ awareness and
perception of key resources and related
management issues; and
• develop demographic profiles of
recreational users of the study region.
This research will support the
sanctuary’s long-term management plan,
provide the foundation for monitoring
change over time, as well as provide
baseline information to help inform
local coastal zone management and
planning to enhance access to Lake
Michigan.
