1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on December 22, 2020 (85 FR 83519) during a 60-day 
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments.

    Needs and Uses: The information collected is used by several 
offices of the NOAA Fisheries Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, the 
Councils, and state fishery enforcement agencies under contract to the 
NOAA Fisheries Service in order to develop, implement, and monitor 
fishery management strategies.
    These data serve as inputs for a variety of uses, including 
biological analyses and stock assessments, regulatory impact analyses, 
quota allocation selections and monitoring, economic profitability 
profiles, trade and import tariff decisions, allocation of grant funds 
among states, and analysis of ecological interactions among species. 
NMFS would be unable to fulfill the majority of its scientific research 
and fishery management missions without these data.
    This request is for revision of a current information collection. 
Fishing vessels participating in select fisheries within the Greater 
Atlantic Region are currently able to submit certain required reports 
via an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. As of Spring 2021, the 
IVR system will no longer be available and the reports will need to be 
submitted using our web based system, FishOnline.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion, weekly, monthly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
