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: 13,909.
    Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 6,086.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision of a currently 
approved information collection.
    This request is for a revision to the existing reporting 
requirements that are currently approved under OMB Control No. 0648-
0205, Southeast Region Permit Family of Forms, in association with the 
upcoming final rule, Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 0648-BB02, 
Amendment 9 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 
(HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (Amendment 9), developed under the 
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801.
    The final rule, RIN 0648-BB02, would implement a number of Atlantic 
shark and smoothhound shark management measures and would establish an 
effective date for previously-adopted smoothhound shark management 
measures finalized in Amendment 3 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS 
FMP (Amendment 3) and the 2011 Final Rule to Modify the Retention of 
Incidentally-Caught Highly Migratory Species in Atlantic Trawl 
Fisheries. Among these previously-adopted smoothhound shark management 
measures is a commercial smoothhound shark permit requirement. The 
commercial smoothhound shark permitting requirement contained in this 
rule would become effective at a date specified after approval of this 
revision request.
    In April 2011, NMFS submitted a PRA change request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to add the commercial smoothhound shark 
permit to the existing HMS permit PRA package (OMB Control No. 0648-
0327). OMB subsequently approved the change request to add the Federal 
commercial smoothhound shark permit to the HMS permit PRA package in 
May 2011. In July 2015, the commercial smoothhound shark permit was 
removed from the HMS permit PRA package (OMB Control No. 0648-0327) 
with the intention of transferring it to the Southeast Region Permit 
Family of Forms. This revision seeks to add this permit to OMB Control 
No. 0648-0205, because the SERO Permits Office will administer the 
smoothhound shark permit. The revision also addresses a new permit fee 
of $25 ($10 if issued in conjunction with another SERO-administered 
permit)

[[Page 69201]]

related to SERO's administration of the permit and a more accurate 
estimate of the number of respondents, reducing the estimated number of 
respondents from 4,000, to 500 based on recent landings data.
    Specifically for the smoothhound shark commercial permit, NMFS 
estimates 500 respondents to apply. If a respondent already holds a 
SERO-administered permit, applying for a smoothhound shark permit would 
only require checking an additional box on the permits application 
form, which would take approximately 10 seconds. If the respondent does 
not hold a SERO-administered permit, a new application must be filled 
out, which would take approximately 30 minutes. Thus, the total annual 
burden estimate is between 1.4 hours and 250 hours. It is likely that 
many respondents already hold a permit issued through the SERO Permits 
Office due to participation in other SERO fisheries (including other 
shark fisheries), thus, they would simply need to check a box on their 
existing form. However, at this time, NMFS does not have an estimate of 
the number of respondents who would apply for this permit and that 
already hold a permit administered through the SERO Permits Office, and 
therefore, for the purpose of this revision request, NMFS assumes the 
high estimate of 250 burden hours annually for the commercial 
smoothhound shark permit.
    There is a $25 fee for a stand-alone commercial smoothhound shark 
permit or a $10 fee if issued in conjunction with another SERO-
administered permit. Thus, the total annual cost to the public for the 
permit is between $12,500 if none of the 500 respondents hold another 
SERO-administered permit and $5,000 if all the respondents hold another 
SERO-administered permit. For the purpose of this revision request, 
NMFS assumes the high estimate of $12,500 in total annual costs for the 
commercial smoothhound shark permit.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    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 [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: November 4, 2015.
