I. Abstract
The NMFS Southeast Regional Office proposes to extend without
revision the information collection currently approved under OMB

grouper species during seasonal fishery closures in the South Atlantic
for those applicable species must maintain documentation, as specified
in 50 CFR part 300 subpart K and 50 CFR 622.192(i), that such fish were
harvested from areas other than state or Federal waters in the South
Atlantic. The applicable snapper-grouper species are greater amberjack,
gag, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind,
yellowmouth grouper, yellowfin grouper, graysby, and coney. The
documentation includes information on the vessel that harvested the
fish, and where and when the fish were offloaded. NMFS requires the
information for the enforcement of fishery regulations at 50 CFR 622,
subpart I.
