the final rule implementing Amendment
13 to the Fishery Management Plan for
the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of
Mexico (Amendment 13) (71 FR 56039,
September 26, 2006).
NMFS is currently collecting censuslevel information on fishing vessel and
gear characteristics in the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf) commercial shrimp
fishery (Gulf shrimp fishery), which

Environmental Policy Act, Regulatory
Flexibility Act, Endangered Species Act,
and Executive Order 12866 are met; and
quantify achievement of the
performance measures in the NMFS’
Operating Plans. This information is
vital in assessing the economic, social,
and environmental effects of fishery
management decisions and regulations
on individual shrimp fishing
enterprises, fishing communities, and

Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension of a currently approved
collection associated with the Atlantic
herring fishery. National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) Greater
Atlantic Region manages these fisheries
in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
of the Northeastern United States
through the Atlantic Herring Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The New
England Fishery Management Council
prepared the FMP pursuant to the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act). The
regulations implementing the FMP are
specified at 50 CFR part 648 and the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at § 648.11 form the basis
for this collection of information.
In 2014, NMFS implemented
Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring
FMP to improve the collection of realtime and accurate catch information for
the Atlantic herring fishery; enhance the
monitoring and sampling of catch at-sea;
and address bycatch issues, in particular
bycatch of river herrings and shads,
through responsible management.
In 2020, NMFS implemented the New
England Industry Funded Monitoring
(IFM) Omnibus Amendment to increase
monitoring in certain FMPs, above
levels required by the Standardized
Bycatch Reporting Methodology
(SBRM), to assess the amount and type
of catch and to reduce variability
around catch estimates. This
amendment created a structure by
which industry funding would be used
in conjunction with available federal
funding to pay for additional monitoring
to meet FMP-specific coverage targets
and required IFM in the Atlantic herring
fishery.
We request the continued collection
of the following information to improve
monitoring and the collection of catch
information in the Atlantic herring
fishery:
• Observer notification requirement
for permitted herring vessels to facilitate
SBRM and IFM coverage;
• Requirement for vessel captains to
submit a Released Catch Affidavit form
documenting the discarding of
unsampled catch;
• A requirement that Category A and
B Atlantic herring permit holders pay
for vessel at-sea monitoring costs,
estimated to be up to $710 per sea day,
on trips selected for IFM coverage (50%
coverage target);
• The option for Category A and B
Atlantic herring permit holders that fish
with midwater trawl gear to obtain an
IFM observer allowing the vessel to fish
in groundfish closed areas and pay for
the vessel’s at-sea monitoring costs,
estimated to be up to $818 per sea day;
and
• Requirements for IFM monitor
service providers to submit reports to
NMFS on behalf of Category A or B
Atlantic herring permitted vessels or for
meeting service provider
responsibilities for service provider
approval and to facilitate accurate catch
monitoring.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: As-needed.
