Southeast Region IFQ Programs

This request is for an extension of approved information collections. The purpose of these information collections is for the administration of the individual fishing quota (IFQ) programs for red snapper, and groupers and tilefishes in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), and the individual transferable quota (ITQ) program for wreckfish in the South Atlantic. The purpose of these programs is to address and prevent overcapitalization, prevent derby fishery conditions, and prevent overfishing of these fisheries resources. The NMFS Southeast Regional Office manages three commercial individual fishing quota (IFQ) and individual transferable quota (ITQ) programs in the NMFS Southeast Region under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. The IFQ programs for red snapper, and groupers and tilefishes occur in Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), and the ITQ program for wreckfish occurs in Federal waters of the South Atlantic. The NMFS Southeast Regional Office proposes to extend the information collection currently approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0551. This collection of information tracks the transfer and use of IFQ and ITQ shares, and IFQ allocation and landings by commercial fishermen necessary for NMFS to operate, administer, and review management of the IFQ and ITQ programs. Regulations for the IFQ and ITQ programs are located at 50 CFR part 622. NMFS proposes no revisions to the existing information collections for the IFQ and ITQ programs approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0551.
