[[Page 10520]]

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: Southwest Region Permit Family of Forms.
    Form Number(s): None prescribed.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0204.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 65 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 95.
    Avg Hours Per Response: Ranges between 30 minutes and 2 hours 
depending on the requirement.
    Needs and Uses: Permits are required for persons to participate in 
Federally-managed fisheries in the Western Pacific Region. The permit 
applications forms provide basic information about permit holders and 
the vessels and gear being used. This information is important to 
understand the nature of the fisheries, entry and exit patterns, and 
the extent to which fishing is likely to effect the stocks and 
businesses related to the fishery. Permitting actions provide an 
important link to the participants so that the National Marine 
Fisheries Service officials can explain the regulations that apply to 
the fishery as well as emphasize the importance of complying with the 
regulations and reporting requirements. This collection covers three 
types of permits--basic permits, limited entry permits and experimental 
permits.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations, 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually, on occasion, variable.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Adele Morris, (202) 395-7340.
