Abstract: This is a revision pursuant to final rule 0648-BJ38 that would require private recreational tilefish anglers to obtain a Federal private recreational tilefish permit in order to fish for and or retain golden or blueline tilefish. This action would add 200 respondents to the vessel trip reports. The only changes are the burden associated with these additional respondents and an increase in calculated cost of postage
