This is a request for a revision to a currently approved information collection. Federally permitted fishing vessels participating in the Atlantic surfclam or ocean quahog individual transferable quota (ITQ) fishery in the Northeast Region of the U.S. are subject to certain information collection requirements in order for NMFS to process requests for the transfer of surfclam or ocean quahog quota shares or authorization to shuck surfclams or ocean quahogs at sea. This revision would remove certain fields from existing forms as a result of regulatory changes included in a final rule, RIN 0648-BI18.
