This request is for extension of this currently approved information collection. This collection is necessary for the application and collection of data associated with exempted fishing permits (EFPs), scientific research permits (SRPs), display permits, letters of acknowledgement (LOAs), and shark research fishery permits for the shark research fishery. Each of these permits require an application be submitted to the agency that includes information about the research being conducted, fishing gear used for research, collaborating scientist, and vessels being used during research activities. These permits involve commercial and recreational fishermen as well as various researchers from academic institutions. EFPs, SRPs, LOAs, and display permits all require reporting on an interim and annual basis on forms specific to the EFP Program. The shark research fishery data is collected through the Shark Bottom Longline Observer Program. These data are used for a wide range of fishery management initiatives by the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Management Division.
