Fishing Capacity Reduction Program/Buyback Requests

OMB 0648-0376 · DOC/NOAA.

OMB 0648-0376

This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) established programs to reduce excess fishing capacity by paying fishermen to surrender their vessels/permits. The information collected by NMFS involves the submission of buyback requests by industry, submission of bids, referenda of fishery participants and reporting of collection of fees to repay buyback loans. For buybacks involving State-managed fisheries, the State may be involved in developing the buyback plan and complying with other information requirements. NMFS requests information from participating buyback participants to track repayments of the loans as well as ensure accurate management and monitoring of the loans. The fees for recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 50 CFR parts 600.1013 through 600.1017 form the basis for the collection of information.

The latest form for Fishing Capacity Reduction Program/Buyback Requests expires 2028-01-31 and is listed under ICR 202409-0648-006.
