Abstract: This is a resubmission, with the final rule, of a request by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, for a new temporary collection. This request is due to a final 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 necessitates 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 (approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0514) is revised to add an option for holders of catcher vessel crew quota share or catcher/processor crew quota share to request reissuance of previously revoked catcher vessel crew quota share or catcher/processor crew quota share. This rule does not change the respondents, responses, burden hours, or burden cost for this application. One change was made to this supporting statement from the proposed rule. The hourly wage rate in the response to question #12 was updated to use the most current rate available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
