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. This is a resubmission of this request with the final rule. No changes have been made to the original request.
