I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. The Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes
the establishment of eight Regional
Fishery Management Councils to
manage fisheries within regional
jurisdictions. This collection pertains to
several sections of the MagnusonStevens Act related to the Councils.
Section 302(b) provides for appointment
of Council members nominated by State
Governors, Territorial Governors, or
Tribal Governments and for designation
of a principal state fishery official for
the purposes of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. Section 306(b)(2) provides for a
request by a state for reinstatement of
state authority over a managed fishery.
Nominees for Council membership must
provide their State Governor, Territorial
Governor, or Tribal Government
leadership with background
documentation, which is then submitted
to NOAA, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce to review qualifications for
Council membership. The information
collected with these actions is used to
ensure that the requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act are being met in
regards to Council membership and
state authority.
II. Method of Collection
State Governors, Territorial
Governors, and Tribal Governments
submit written nominations to the
Secretary of Commerce, together with
recommendations and statements of
candidates’ qualifications. Designations
of state officials and requests for
reinstatement of state authority are also
made in writing in response to
regulations. NMFS provides guidance
on what information to include in order
to comply with current regulations. See
50 CFR 600.215. No forms are used.
