Federally permitted fishing vessels participating in the Atlantic surfclam or ocean quahog individual transferable quota (ITQ) fishery in the Northeast Region of the U.S. are subject to certain information collection requirements in order for NMFS to process requests for the transfer of surfclam or ocean quahog quota shares or authorization to shuck surfclams or ocean quahogs at sea. Per RIN 0648-BD64, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is requesting a revision of OMB Control No. 0648-0240 to continue management of the Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This revision would enable NMFS to collect additional information about individual transferable quota (ITQ) allocation holders to aid the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council in developing an excessive shares cap in this fishery.

Program Changes The proposed addition of the ITQ permit application and the ITQ ownership form would increase the estimated annual burden of this collection by 378 responses, 97 hours, and $186. Adjustments The burden estimate for the current aspects of this collection has been adjusted based on updated information. Using data for the most resent 3 year period, the average number of responses to the ITQ transfer form increased by 85 additional responses, annually. Accounting for these additional responses, plus adjusting for recent changes in cost of first-class postage, resulted in estimated increases of 85 responses, 8 hours and $232 (rounded down to $231 in ROCIS).
