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: Southeast Region Gear Identification Requirements.
Agency Form Number(s): None.
OMB Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 2,192 hours.
Number of Respondents: 1,000 (multiple responses).
Avg. Hours Per Response: 7 minutes to mark traps, 10 seconds to
mark coral rocks, and 20 minutes to mark Spanish mackerel gillnet
floats.
Needs and Uses: Under the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act, NOAA is responsible for
management of the Nation's marine fisheries. In the Southeast Region,
fishing gear must be marked with some form of identification. Law

individuals.

Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
