Fisheries Act [Pub. L. 104–297], the

50 CFR 600.745 establish processes for
scientific research plans as well as
exempted fishing and exempted
educational activities that are exempted
from applicable fishing regulations.
Fishery regulations do not generally
affect scientific research activities
conducted by a scientific research
vessel. Persons planning to conduct
such research are encouraged to submit
a scientific research plan to ensure that
the activities are considered research
and not fishing. The researchers are
requested to submit reports of their
scientific research activity after its
completion. Eligible researchers on
board federally permitted fishing vessels
that plan to temporarily possess fish in
a manner not compliant with applicable
fishing regulations for the purpose of
collecting scientific data on catch may
submit a request for a temporary
possession letter of authorization. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from
fishery regulations for educational or
other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for
these exemptions must be submitted, as
well as reports on activities.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations and not-forprofit institutions such as educational
and research institutions.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
and Voluntary.
