This information collection consists of tracking IBQ allocation trading among individuals with Longline category or Purse Seine category Atlantic tunas vessel permits. An online system managed by NMFS will track allocations and allocation trades, and reconcile trades with landings for bluefin tuna quota monitoring. The information collected through this program is essential for the United States to implement Amendment 7 to the Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan, and to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) by ensuring that the harvest of bluefin tuna remains within ICCAT required quotas and landings limits. This collection also includes information supporting any appeal of the size of the NMFS-assigned quota share for each active Pelagic longline category vessel, or NMFS-calculated performance metric for each Pelagic longline category vessel. Authorization of appeals is necessary to ensure that the data used to calculate quota shares and performance metrics are accurate and complete.
