The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationâs (NOAAâs) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension of the existing collection of information under OMB Control Number 0648-0350 for Greater Atlantic Region Vessel Identification. Regulations at 50 CFR parts 648.8 and 697.8 require that vessels over 25 ft in registered length with Federal permits to fish in the Greater Atlantic region display the vesselâs name and official number.

Changes reflect the most current information regarding the number of relevant vessels (respondents) estimated. The average number of respondents per year increased, due to the current number of permitted vessels currently listed in the permit database that are greater than or equal to 25 feet in overall length, creating minimal adjustments to burden estimates. The total number of respondents in now estimated to be 3,893 entities per year, up from 3,664 in the previous collection. All differences in burden are due to this minor adjustment and not to a program change.
