SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a current information collection. 
Regulations at 50 CFR 660.704 require that all commercial fishing 
vessels with permits issued under authority of the National Marine 
Fishery Service's (NMFS) Fishery Management Plan for United States

vessel's official number (U.S. Coast Guard documentation number or 
state registration number). The numbers must be of a specific size and 
format and located at specified locations. The official number must be 
affixed to each vessel subject to this section in block Arabic numerals 
at least 10 inches (25.40 centimeters) in height for vessels more than 
25 feet (7.62 meters) but equal to or less than 65 feet (19.81 meters) 
in length; and 18 inches (45.72 centimeters) in height for vessels 
longer than 65 feet (19.81 meters) in length. Markings must be legible 
and of a color that contrasts with the background. The display of the 
identifying number aids in fishery law enforcement. This requirement 
does not apply to recreational charter vessels.
