DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

[I.D. 052303A]


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: Southeast Region Dealer and Interview Family of Forms.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0013.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 397.
    Number of Respondents: 85.
    Average Hours Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA proposes to add a reporting requirement to 
this family for forms. Fishery quotas are established for species in 
the deep-water and shallow-water management units within the Gulf of 
Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan (50 CFR 622.42(a)(ii) and 
(iii)). Existing methods of monitoring these fishery quotas have proven 
to be ineffective, and for the past two years landings for the species 
in these management units have exceeded the quotas. The Southeast 
Fisheries Science Center intends to use the authority under section 50 
CFR 622.5(c)(3)(ii) to require dealers to report purchases (landings) 
on a monthly basis and every two weeks for the last two months of the 
season (year).
    Affected Public: Business and other for-profit organizations, 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Monthly, biweekly for last two months of year.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: May 21, 2003.
