DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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: Information for Share Transfer in the Wreckfish Fishery.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0262.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Respondents: 4.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 1.
    Needs and Uses: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is 
requesting the extension of the wreckfish share transfer data 
collection program. The individual transferable quota system in the 
wreckfish fishery is based on percentage shares. Persons holding shares 
may sell or otherwise transfer them to others, but information about 
the proposed transfer must first be provided to NOAA. The transfer form 
is printed on the back of the percentage shares certificate. With each 
transfer of ownership, the certificate will be reissued. The 
certificate identifies the seller, but the buyer's name, address, 
corporate (employer's) Federal tax identification number, and telephone 
number must be provided. The sale price is necessary for economic 
analysis. The signatures of buyer, seller, and witness will secure the 
transaction.
    The information is needed for management of the quota system and 
for economic analyses. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act is the legislative authority to collect data from the 
various sectors of the economy that harvest marine resources in the 
exclusive economic zone.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    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, FAX number (202) 395-7285, or 
[email protected].

    Dated: December 29, 2009.

Management Analyst, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
