SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for the extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Greater Atlantic Region
manages the golden tilefish fishery of
the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of
the Northeastern United States, through
the Tilefish Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). The Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council prepared the FMP
pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The
regulations implementing the FMP are
specified at 50 CFR part 648 subpart N.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at § 648.294 form the basis
for this collection of information. NMFS
requests information from tilefish
individual fishing quota (IFQ) permit
holders to process applications that
ensure IFQ allocation holders are
provided a statement of their annual
catch quota, and for enforcement
purposes, to ensure vessels are not
exceeding an individual quota
allocation. In conjunction with the
application, NMFS also collects IFQ
share accumulation information to
ensure that IFQ allocation holders do
not acquire an excessive share of the
total limited access privileges, as
required by section 303A(d)(5)(C) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act.
NMFS requests transfer application
information to process and track
requests from allocation holders to
transfer quota allocation (permanent

and temporary) to another entity. NMFS
also collects information for cost
recovery purposes as required under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Cost recovery is
used to collect fees to recover the costs
directly related to management, data
collection and analysis, and
enforcement of IFQ programs. Lastly,
NMFS collects landings information to
ensure that the amounts of tilefish
landed and ex-vessel prices are properly
recorded for quota monitoring purposes
and the calculation of IFQ fees. Having
this information results in an
increasingly more efficient and accurate
database for management and
monitoring of fisheries of the
Northeastern U.S. EEZ.
II. Method of Collection
The IFQ Allocation permit
application, IFQ holder cap form, and
the IFQ transfer form are all paper
applications. These applications can
also be completed in a fillable electronic
format and submitted through email or
printed and sent by mail. The IFQ cost
recovery process is entirely online at
www.pay.gov.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0590.
Form Number(s): None.

Written comments on this application
should be submitted via email to
NMFS.Pr1Comments@noaa.gov. Please
include File No. 27294 in the subject
line of the email comment.
Those individuals requesting a public
hearing should submit a written request
via email to NMFS.Pr1Comments@
noaa.gov. The request should set forth
the specific reasons why a hearing on
this application would be appropriate.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Malcolm Mohead or Jennifer Skidmore
at (301) 427–8401.
The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant (Dr. Phillips) is
requesting authorization to receive,
collect, and import tissue samples of
five species of listed sawfish, including
smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata),
largetooth sawfish (P. pristis), green
sawfish (P. zijsron), dwarf sawfish (P.
clavata), and narrow sawfish
(Anoxypristis cuspidate) to generate
genetic data of historic sawfish
populations from tissue samples
‘‘collected’’ by researchers from
archived rostra or those received
opportunistically from saws with
known location data held in museums,
educational, and private collections.
The goals of research are to: (1) assess
whether there has been a recent loss of
genetic diversity in sawfishes globally,
(2) evaluate the long-term survival
outlook for sawfishes, and (3) identify
locations harboring unique genetic
variation which may warrant
prioritization in future conservation
plans. Tissue samples may include preact or post-act Endangered Species Act
(ESA) specimens and will be collected
and received from sawfish specimens
sourced in U.S. public and private
collections or imported from museums
and collaborators overseas for a period
of 5 years. Up to 800 tissue samples of
sawfish specimens will be imported
from all noted species annually. As
appropriate, samples may also be
exported for analysis or returned to
former holders as unused samples.
Genetic data will be generated for the
historic tissue samples and compared to
genetic datasets for contemporary
populations in Australia, the USA,
Papua New Guinea, and Brazil. The
requested duration of the permit is 5
years.
