The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Southeast Region is revising some of the information
collections currently approved under the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Control Number 0648-0016 to comply with reinstating
previous regulations and the associated information collection
applicable to certain fishermen. NMFS will remove information
collections and revise components of another information collection
to a version previously approved by OMB. Other information
collections approved by OMB currently in 0648-0016 are unchanged.
NMFS is taking these actions to comply with a court decision from
the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which effectively
invalidated regulations previously implemented by NMFS.
