As part of its fishery management responsibilities, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) collects information to determine the amount and type of groundfish caught by fishing vessels. This collection supports requirements for first receivers in the Pacific Coast sablefish fishery to account for all landed catch and to send electronic catch data used to manage the catch allocations and limits. The respondents are principally shorebased first receivers.
In addition, upon approval of this collection, it will be merged into OMB Control No. 0648-0619, or the electronic fish ticket information on OMB Control No. 0648-0619 will be removed from that collection and combined with this new collection.
