OMB approves the revisions to this collection, including the new intercept survey to validate logbook data reported by charter vessels pursuant to RINs 0648-BH72 and 0648-BG75. The agency must revise the supporting statements to explain the survey methods and identify the intercept survey burden for the Southeast Region Headboat Survey, which is also part of this collection, ahead of the next approval request.

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 NMFSâ 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.
