OMB files this
comment in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.11(c). This OMB action is not
an approval to conduct or sponsor an information collection under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This action has no effect on
any current approvals. If OMB has assigned this ICR a new OMB
Control Number, the OMB Control Number will not appear in the
active inventory. For future submissions of this information
collection, reference the OMB Control Number provided. In
accordance with 5 CFR 1320, OMB is withholding approval at this
time. Prior to publication of the final rule, the agency must
submit to OMB a summary of all comments related to the information
collection contained in the proposed rule and the agency response.
The agency should clearly indicate any changes made to the

This information collection is revised
due to a rule that includes a minor change to regulations
implementing the IFQ Program. This change is necessary to remove a
redundant form, centralize all non-medical temporary IFQ transfers
onto a single form, and simplify the temporary IFQ transfer process
for the public and for agency administrators. As the Application
for Temporary Transfer of Halibut/Sablefish Individual Fishing
Quota (IFQ) form may be used for all non-medical temporary IFQ
transfers, including temporary military transfers, the Application
for Temporary Military Transfer of IFQ form is not needed.
Therefore, the Application for Temporary Military Transfer of IFQ
is removed. No changes are made to the Application for Temporary
Transfer of Halibut/Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) form,
other than revising the instructions to improve clarity. This rule
revises § 679.41(m)(3) and (m)(3)(iii) to reference the
“application for temporary transfer of halibut/sablefish IFQ” and
the corresponding contents of a complete application.
