SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    The collection consists of vessel and dealer permits that are part 
of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) program to manage 
fisheries in the Southeast Region. The fisheries in the Southeast 
Region are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (MSA) (16 U.S.C. 1801) and regulations at 50 CFR part 
622, 50 CFR part 635 and 50 CFR part 300. NMFS issues permits to 
fishing vessels and dealers in order to collect information necessary 
to comply with domestic and international fisheries obligations, secure 
compliance with regulations, and disseminate necessary information.
    This revision would amend the ``Federal Permit Application for 
Vessels Fishing in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)'' to add the 
collection of an International Maritime Organization/Lloyd's Registry 
(IMO/LR) number to the permit application for commercial HMS vessels 
[gteqt] 20 meters (65' 7'') in length that are obtaining or renewing a 
HMS limited access permit, including the Atlantic tuna longline, shark 
incidental, shark directed, swordfish incidental, swordfish directed, 
and swordfish handgear permits. The International Commission for the 
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) approved a recommendation (13-
13) for Contracting Parties to require commercial vessels [gteqt] 20 
meters (65' 7'') in length to obtain an IMO/LR number from IHS/Fairplay 
by no later than January 1, 2016. Permit applications that do not 
contain the required supporting documents will be considered 
incomplete.
    This revision would also change the Report for the Deposit or 
Harvest of Aquacultured Live Rock by adding language to the 
instructions, specifically, ``If not originally approved, then provide 
a new sample of rock,'' adding the USCG documentation number or state 
registration number for the primary vessel the permit is used on, 
changing the wording in the instructions for the box describing the 
deposited material to include the ``type and specific geographic 
origin'' of the material, and adding a yes/no check box for whether a 
sample of the deposit material has been provided to NMFS.

II. Method of Collection

    The requirement for commercial HMS vessels to obtain an IMO/LR 
number is accomplished by accessing a secure Internet automated system 
supported by IHS/Fairplay (http://www.imonumbers.lrfairplay.com/). 
Applicants may fill out and submit an application electronically. This 
automated system is available on a 7 day/24 hour basis, and the IMO/LR 
number is available at no additional charge to the permit holder. The 
Report for the Deposit or Harvest of Aquacultured Live Rock can be 
obtained online at the Southeast Region's Web site (http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/permits/permits.htm). This Web site allows the 
public to obtain a copy of this form, complete it electronically, 
download it, and print it out.
    The Southeast Region's Web site also includes other forms under 
this collection, including the vessel permit application and the dealer 
permit application, which can be downloaded and completed 
electronically, and printed. There is also an option now to complete a 
vessel permit application online and submit it online, for certain 
fisheries. All other permitting requirements are currently still paper 
forms.

    Form Number: None.

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of

technology.
