DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

[I.D. 101602B]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted 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: Revisions to the American Lobster Requirements for 
Historical Participation in Areas 3, 4, and 5.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Emergency.
    Burden Hours: 308.
    Number of Respondents: 934.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes for a cover letter; 60 
minutes per affidavit; and 15 minutes to provide corroborating 
documentation in support of the loss of eligibility documentation.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA is seeking approval for revisions to 
requirements that have been approved under OMB Control No. 0648-0450. 
The revisions would be for a cover letter, for documentation purposes, 
showing proof of meeting eligibility criteria for this limited entry

eligibility documentation is unavailable due to fire, flood, or other 
factors beyond the applicant's control). This information is needed to 
more effectively manage the program and to provide fairness.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
