The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as amended in 1996, provide for members of Fishery Management Councils by state governors and Indian treaty tribes, for the designation of a principle state fishery official for the purposes of the Act, and for a request by a state for reinstatement of state authority over a managed fishery. The information submitted with these actions will be used to ensure that the requirements of the Act are being met.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 265 302
Name of Law: Maguson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
Adjustments:
Responses are in fact the same as previously, but due to an error in totaling, had been reported as 275 rather than 146 in the last request.
There is an adjustment from $699.60 to $750.10 in recordkeeping/reporting costs, due to postal rate increases. However, in ROCIS, it appears as a decrease from $1,000, due to rounding up the cost when the collection was migrated to the system.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
