I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries
Services (NMFS), Alaska Region, is
requesting extension of a currently
approved information collection for the
applications for the Federal Fisheries
Permit, the Federal Processor Permit,
and the Exempted Fishing Permit.
NMFS requires a Federal Fisheries
Permit (FFP) or Federal Processor
Permit (FPP) for participation in the
groundfish fisheries of the exclusive
economic zone off Alaska. NMFS issues
an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) to
allow groundfish fishing activities that
would otherwise be prohibited under
regulations for groundfish fishing. EFPs
are issued to support projects that could
benefit the groundfish fisheries and the
environment and result in gathering
information not otherwise available
through research or commercial fishing
operations. Regulations governing these
permits are at 50 CFR 600.745, 679.4,
and 679.6.
Operators of vessels and managers of
processors must have a permit on board
or on site when fishing, receiving,
buying, or processing groundfish and
non-groundfish species. The permit
information provides harvest gear types;
descriptions of vessels, shoreside
processors, and stationary floating
processors; and expected fishery activity
levels. The information requested on the
permit applications is used for fisheries
management and regulatory compliance
by NMFS Sustainable Fisheries
Division, NMFS Restricted Access
Management Program, NMFS Observer
Program, NOAA Office of Law
Enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard, and
the North Pacific Fisheries Management
Council.
Section 303(b)(1) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act specifically recognizes
the need for permit issuance. Requiring

E:\FR\FM\30NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 2020 / Notices
a permit for marine resource users is
one of the regulatory steps taken to carry
out conservation and management
objectives. Permit issuance is essential
in fishery resources management for
identification of the participants and
expected activity levels and for
regulatory compliance.
II. Method of Collection
The FFP and FPP application forms
are available as fillable pdfs on the
NMFS Alaska Region website and may
be downloaded, completed, and printed
prior to submission by mail, delivery, or
fax. An FPP may be renewed online
through eFISH on the NMFS Alaska
Region website. There is no form to
apply for an EFP. Applicants submit the
required information by mail, delivery,
email, or fax.

the Chief Information Officer, Commerce
