Greater Atlantic Region Permit Family of Forms

This request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. This revision is being requested in support of the final rule to implement Framework Adjustment 16 to the Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. Framework 16 proposes adding a vessel hold baseline requirement for limited access Illex squid vessels in order to cap fishing power and limit expansion of effort in the fishery. In order to comply with this requirement, limited access Illex squid permit holders will need to submit certified vessel hold capacity measurements to NMFS approximately 12 months after implementation of the rule, and vessel hold capacity measurements will be required on all subsequent vessel permit applications and RPH applications for limited access Illex squid vessels. This action will also clarify an existing requirement for limited access Illex squid permit holders to submit daily reports via vessel monitoring system (VMS) to better verify catch in this fishery. The burden hours and cost associated with daily VMS reporting in the Illex squid fishery were already calculated and approved through previous actions; therefore, this clarification does not need additional approval through the PRA. Additionally, this action will require Illex and longfin squid vessels to declare their primary annual vessel processing type in order to assist stock assessment scientists in calculating catch per unit effort (CPUE). This information will be collected through the use of existing vessel permit applications and there will be negligible additional burden and no cost; therefore, this requirement also does not need additional approval through the PRA.
