DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


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:
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0205.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 10,311.
    Average Hours per Response: Response times range from 10 minutes 
for trip notifications to one hour for permit applications.
    Burden Hours: 7,260.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a renewal with revisions to the 
existing reporting requirements approved under the Office of Management 
and Budget's (OMB) Control Number 0648-0205, Southeast Region Permit 
Family of Forms. The SERO Permits Office administers Federal fishing 
permits in the United States (U.S.) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 
the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), and South Atlantic under the 
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801. The SERO Permits Office 
also proposes to revise parts of the current collection-of-information 
approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0205.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Region 
manages the U.S. Federal fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf, and South 
Atlantic under the fishery management plans (FMPs) for each region. The 
regional fishery management councils prepared the FMPs pursuant to the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act. The regulations implementing the FMPs, including 
those that have reporting requirements, are at 50 CFR part 622.
    The recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 50 CFR part 622 
form the basis for this collection of information. The NMFS Southeast 
Region requests information from fishery participants. This 
information, upon receipt, results in an increasingly more efficient 
and accurate database for management and monitoring of the Federal 
fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic.
    The SERO Permits Office proposes to make minor changes to several 
forms approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0205.
    Affected Public: Business and other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: April 11, 2017.
