DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Southeast Region Permit Family of Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0205.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 13,409.
    Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 5,836.
    Needs and Uses: 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 prt 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 
>=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 >=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

[[Page 41485]]

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.
    Also, this revision removes the responses, time and cost burden 
associated with the South Atlantic rock shrimp VMS requirement and 
transfers those responses, time and cost burden to the OMB Control No. 
0648-0544 information collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: July 9, 2015.
