Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Amendment 14 Data Collection

This is a request for a revision of a currently approved information collection to support new information collections associated with Amendment 20 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid and Butterfish (MSB) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council adopted Amendment 20 to reduce latent effort in the longfin squid fishery and adjust the management of the longfin squid fishery during Trimester 2 (May through August). The objectives of this action are to remove unused or minimally used squid permits to maximize economic opportunities for active participants in the fishery and to reduce the potential negative impacts of excessive fishing effort on inshore spawning aggregations and squid egg mops during Trimester 2.
