Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Region proposes to revise some of the information collections currently approved under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 0648-0016 to comply with reinstating previous regulations and the associated information collection applicable to certain fishermen. NMFS proposes to remove information collections and revise components of another information collection to a version previously approved by OMB. Other information collections approved by OMB currently in 0648-0016 are unchanged. NMFS is taking these actions to comply with a court decision from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which effectively invalidated regulations previously implemented by NMFS.
