Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests a new temporary collection. This request is due to a proposed rule to implement Amendments 54 and 55 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (RIN 0648-BM81). These actions are intended to provide operators and crew greater flexibility in meeting CR Program participation requirements and to improve CR Program processor efficiency. This rule would necessitate revision to an existing information collection, OMB Control Number 0648-0514. Due to a concurrent action for -0514, NMFS is submitting this request to create a temporary collection for this revision to -0514. After completion of the concurrent action, NMFS will submit a request to merge this temporary collection with -0514. Due to the rule, the Application for Annual Crab Individual Fishing Quota Permit, which is approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0514, would be revised to add an option for CVC QS and CPC QS holders to request reissuance of previously revoked CVC QS or CPC QS. This revision does not change the number of respondents, responses, burden hours, or burden cost for this application.
