allows participating fishermen to defer tax on vessel income deposited 
into the Fund and provides for recapture of the deferred tax by 
reducing an Agreement vessel's basis by the amount withdrawn for its 
construction, acquisition and/or reconstruction. Program requirements 
are detailed at 50 CFR part 259.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Once per year (NOAA Form 34-82); Once when applying for 
program benefits (NOAA Form 88-14); Varies depending on project intent 
(Certificate Family of Forms).
    Respondent's Obligation: To remain compliant, active Agreement 
holders must submit NOAA Form 34-82 along with a copy of their Federal 
income tax return not later than 30 days after the deadline, with 
extensions, for filing their tax return. The Certificate Family of 
Forms is completed prior to project commencement at a minimum of once

Agreement (NOAA Form 88-14) and application related documents in the 
Certificate Family of Forms only once, as part of their packet
