Incorporation and/or Date of Birth) will be revised to require this 
information, following procedures as laid out by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. This notice applies to all NMFS permits information 
collections for which rulemaking is not needed in conjunction with such 
revisions. Proposed rules will be issued for all collections whose 
regulations require amendment for such revisions.

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
