Greater Atlantic Region Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan

OMB 0648-0491

OMB 0648-0491

Vessels issued Atlantic sea scallop fishery permits are required to provide certain information and submit specific forms to enable effective management of the scallop fishery and vessel owners to complete transactions with other scallop permit holders. The collection requirements under OMB Control No. 0648-0491 enable successful implementation and administration of components of the Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Currently, vessels fishing for scallops in scallop rotational access areas (access areas) are required to submit daily reports of scallops kept and yellowtail flounder caught through the vessel monitoring system (VMS). Under Amendment 15 Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (Scallop FMP), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposed to expand the daily catch reporting requirement to scallop trips in all fishing areas.
