SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law
104–297, provided for the establishment
of an AP to assist in the collection and
evaluation of information relevant to the
development of any FMP or FMP
amendment for Atlantic HMS. NMFS
consults with and considers the
comments and views of AP members
when preparing and implementing
FMPs or FMP amendments for Atlantic
tunas, swordfish, billfish, and sharks.
The AP has previously consulted with
NMFS on: Amendment 1 to the Billfish
FMP (April 1999); the HMS FMP (April
1999); Amendment 1 to the HMS FMP
(December 2003); the Consolidated HMS
FMP (October 2006); and Amendments
1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11
to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP
(April and October 2008, February and
September 2009, May and September
2010, April and September 2011, March
and September 2012, January and
September 2013, April and September
2014, March and September 2015, and
March, September, and December 2016,
and May and September 2017), among
other things.
The intent of this meeting is to
consider alternatives for the
conservation and management of all
Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish, and
shark fisheries. We anticipate
discussing:
• Short- and long-term management
of Atlantic shortfin mako (emergency
rule extension and Draft Amendment
11);
• Bluefin tuna management (Threeyear review of Amendment 7 measures
and next steps)
• Progress updates on a number of
other actions such as Ecosystem-Based
Fisheries Management; Amendment 12
(rulemaking to implement NMFS
national policy directives); weak-hook
and area based management; crossregional vessel electronic reporting (e.g.,
eVTR, SEFHIER, eTrips); and spatial
management options.
• Shark management in general
(Amendment 14 regarding quota

management; catch-per–unit-effort for
sharks; and shark stock assessments)
We also anticipate inviting other
NMFS offices to provide updates, if
available, on their activities relevant to
HMS fisheries such as updates to the
Marine Recreational Information
Program. The State Department will be
invited to provide updates on U.S./
Bahama EEZ boundary negotiations.
Finally, we intend to invite other NMFS
offices and the United States Coast
Guard to provide updates on their
activities relevant to HMS fisheries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and
Conservation Act both authorizes and
requires the collection of cost recovery
fees for Limited Access Privilege (LAP)
programs and Western Alaska
Community Development Quota (CDQ)
programs. The cost recovery fees may
not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel
value, and must recover costs associated
with the management, data collection,
and enforcement of these programs that
are directly incurred by government
agencies tasked with overseeing these
fisheries.
In addition, NMFS collects observer
coverage fees to support the funding and
deployment of observers on vessels and
in plants in the partial observer
coverage category. The observer
coverage fee must be paid by permit
holders in the partial observer coverage
category, i.e., small catcher/processors,
catcher vessels, shoreside processors,
and stationary floating processors
named on a Federal Fisheries Permit, or
a person named on a Registered Buyer
permit.
Processors that receive and purchase
landings of IFQ halibut or sablefish,
rockfish, groundfish, and crab subject to
observer and/or cost recovery fees must
submit an Ex-vessel Value and Volume
report under 50 CFR 679.5 or 50 CFR
680.5 that provides information on the
pounds purchased and value paid.
NMFS uses this information to establish
the total ex-vessel value of the fishery,
to calculate standard prices, and to
establish annual fee percentages in each
fishery.
In 2016, due to an associated rule,
revisions to the payment collection
methods were approved under OMB
control number 0648–0727. The
extension of the current collection,
OMB control number 0648–0711, will
incorporate these 2016 revisions, and
0648–0727 will be discontinued.
II. Method of Collection
Payment must be submitted online
through eFISH at https://alaskafisheries.
noaa.gov/webapps/efish/login for the
following:
• Observer coverage fee; and
• cost recovery fees for the Western
Alaska Community Development Quota
