Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; West Coast Region
Groundfish Electronic Fish Ticket Program
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
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 August 9, 2022 (87 FR 48469), during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: West Coast Region Groundfish Electronic Fish Ticket Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0738.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently
approved collection).
Number of Respondents: 145.
Average Time per Response: Electronic fish ticket submission: 2
minutes; IFQ First Receiver Submission: 10 minutes; Pacific Whiting
Disposition Recordkeeping, 1 minute.
Burden Hours: 2,102 hours.
Needs and Uses: As part of its fishery management responsibilities,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) collects information to determine the
amount and type of groundfish caught by fishing vessels. Electronic
fish tickets are submissions of landings data from the first receiver
to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) and NMFS.
This collection supports requirements for participants of the Pacific
Coast shorebased commercial groundfish fisheries, including the
shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) program, the limited entry
fixed gear fishery, and the open access fixed gear fishery, to account
for all landed catch and to transmit electronic catch data used to
manage the catch allocations and limits. NMFS may use this data for
general purpose statistics and program evaluation.
Affected Public: Primary respondents are businesses or other for-
profit organizations (e.g., groundfish fishermen, fishing companies,
partnerships, and shorebased first receivers), individuals or
households, and State fisheries agencies.
Frequency: Reporting occurs concurrently with fishing landings,
which could range from occasionally to
[[Page 1060]]
daily depending on the frequency of fishing throughout the season.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
