Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Application to Shuck Surf Clams/Ocean Quahogs at Sea.
Agency Form Number(s): None assigned.
OMB Approval Number: 0648-0240.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Burden: 2 hours.
Number of Respondents: 2 (multiple responses).
Avg. Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.
Needs and Uses: Vessel owners who wish to shuck their surf clam/
ocean quahog catch while at sea must apply for a permit to do so. The
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires a permit so that it
can identify vessels seeking to do so and to place a NMFS-approved
observer aboard those vessels. An observer is necessary because the
shucking of catch at sea makes it difficult to track the catch against
harvest quotas.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations,
individuals.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer,
(202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, Room 5327, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office
Building, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503.
Dated: August 12, 1998.
Linda Engelmeier,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information
Officer.
