Type of Request: Regular submission
[extension of a current information
collection].
Number of Respondents: 484.
Average Hours per Response: FFP
application, 21 minutes; FPP
application, 25 minutes; EFP
application, 100 hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 474
hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Services (NMFS), Alaska
Region, is requesting extension of a
currently approved information
collection for the applications for the
Federal Fisheries Permit (FFP), the
Federal Processor Permit (FPP), and the
Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP).
NMFS requires an FFP or FPP for
participation in the groundfish fisheries
of the exclusive economic zone off
Alaska. NMFS issues an EFP to allow
groundfish fishing activities that would
otherwise be prohibited under
regulations for groundfish fishing. EFPs
are issued to support projects that could
benefit the groundfish fisheries and the
environment and result in gathering
information not otherwise available
through research or commercial fishing
operations. Regulations governing these
permits are at 50 CFR 600.745, 679.4,
and 679.6.
Operators of vessels and managers of
processors must have a permit on board
or on site when fishing, receiving,
buying, or processing groundfish and
non-groundfish species. The permit
information provides harvest gear types;
descriptions of vessels, shoreside
processors, and stationary floating
processors; and expected fishery activity
levels. The information requested on the
permit applications is used for fisheries
management and regulatory compliance
by NMFS Sustainable Fisheries
Division, NMFS Restricted Access
Management Program, NMFS Observer
Program, NOAA Office of Law
Enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard, and
the North Pacific Fisheries Management
Council.
Section 303(b)(1) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act specifically recognizes
the need for permit issuance. Requiring
a permit for marine resource users is
one of the regulatory steps taken to carry
out conservation and management
objectives. Permit issuance is essential
in fishery resources management for
identification of the participants and
expected activity levels and for
regulatory compliance.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
