Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests OMB merge the 0648-0819 temporary information collection into approved information collection 0648-0213, Alaska Region Logbook and Activity Family of Forms. Due to the concurrent timing of the rulemaking for 0648-BM40 and the renewal of information collection 0648-0213, Alaska Region Logbooks and Activity Family of Forms, a temporary collection was created for the rule-related collection. This request seeks to merge the new temporary collection (0648-0819) with 0648-0213 now that all actions have been resolved.
