Abstract: This new collection is formed from two existing forms, formerly approved under OMB Control No.: 0648-0515, and one new form. This collection is set apart because it consists of crab report forms. The OMB Control No.: 0648-0515 collection now consists of only eLandings for several different fisheries.
