This request is for revision and
extension of currently approved information collection 0648-0016.
NMFS has existing regulations in 50 CFR part 622 and approved
information collections under 0648-0016 that require specific
recordkeeping and reporting from the fishing industry and
associated communities to support scientifically based management
actions to achieve NMFS’ stewardship responsibilities throughout
the U.S. southeast region. NMFS is requesting an extension of OMB
approval for these information collections. NMFS also proposes to
implement a new data validation survey for an information
collection currently approved in 0648-0016.
