This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection. This collection of information will allow NMFS to continue to obtain data from Federal lobster permit holders on a voluntary basis every year in the form of an application form to transfer traps through the annual Trap Transfer Program. Applications are only accepted during a 2-month period each year (August 1 - September 30), and the revised allocations for each participating lobster permit resulting from the transfers become effective at the start of the following Federal lobster fishing year, on May 1. This information allows NMFS to process and track transfers of traps through the Trap Transfer Program, and better enables the monitoring and management of the American lobster fishery as a whole.
