This request is for a revision of a
currently approved collection of information (#0573). The
collection is being revised to add new declaration codes on the
Declaration Code Worksheet that correspond to new gear types being
permitted in the Non-Trawl Rockfish Conservation Area (Non-Trawl
RCA) for the limited entry fixed gear (LEFG) groundfish sector and
vessels that gear switch under the Trawl Individual Fishing Quota
(IFQ) program (i.e., IFQ gear switchers). No other changes are
being proposed for the collection of information. A proposed rule,
RIN 0648-BM28, will be published coincident with this submission.
Comments on the proposed rule will be considered and, as
appropriate, be addressed in the final rule.
