Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Scientific Research Permits, Exempted Fishing Permits, Letters of Acknowledgment, Display Permits, and Shark Research Fishery Permits

OMB 0648-0471 ยท DOC/NOAA.

OMB 0648-0471

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recently reviewed the application form and annual reporting form for the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Exempted Fishing Permit Program. As part of that review, NMFS identified several areas that could be revised to improve clarity, reduce redundancies, and remove outdated information. These revisions will streamline the application and reporting form, and will not impact the number of individuals who are required to complete and submit these forms nor the burden on the individuals to do so. A description of the non-substantive changes to the application and annual report form are described below.

The latest form for Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Scientific Research Permits, Exempted Fishing Permits, Letters of Acknowledgment, Display Permits, and Shark Research Fishery Permits expires 2027-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202508-0648-003.
