Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic;
Snapper-Grouper Fishery Off the Southern Atlantic States; Amendment 15B
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; effectiveness of collection-of-information
requirements.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS announces approval by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) of collection-of-information requirements contained in
regulations implementing Amendment 15B to the Fishery Management Plan
for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP).
This rule makes effective the collection-of-information requirements
published on November 16, 2009, and identified below.
DATES: The amendments to 15 CFR 902.1 in this rule are effective
December 5, 2011. Amendments to Sec. Sec. 622.5(a)(1)(iv), (b)(1), and
(b)(2); Sec. 622.8(a)(6); and Sec. 622.18(b)(1)(ii) published at 74
FR 58902 (November 16, 2009) are effective December 5, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the burden-hour estimates or
other aspects of the collection-of-information requirements contained
in this final rule may be submitted to Rich Malinowski, Southeast
Regional Office, NMFS, 263 13th Ave South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701;
and OMB, by email at [email protected], or fax to (202) 395-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Michie, telephone: (727) 824-
5305.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 16, 2009 (74 FR 58902), NMFS
published a final rule to implement Amendment 15B to the FMP. That
final rule contained collection-of-information requirements subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that were pending OMB approval at the
time of publication. The rule delayed the effectiveness of those
provisions of the rule with public reporting requirements until NMFS
published OMB's approval of the collections. OMB approved these
collection-of-information requirements on January 4, 2010 and January
27, 2010, under OMB control number 0648-0603 (South Atlantic snapper-
grouper reporting requirements), and on April 12, 2011, under OMB
control number 0648-0593 (South Atlantic snapper-grouper observer
coverage requirements). Accordingly, this final rule makes effective
the collection-of-information requirements at Sec. 622.5(a)(1)(iv),
(b)(1), and (b)(2); Sec. 622.8(a)(6); and Sec. 622.18(b)(1)(ii) on
December 5, 2011. The collection-of-information requirement at Sec.
622.5(g), which includes reporting requirements for the South Atlantic
snapper-grouper recreational sector, will not be submitted for approval
until further information on burden hour estimates can be obtained from
the fishery.
Classification
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
This final rule contains collection-of-information requirements
subject to the PRA which have been approved under OMB control numbers
0648-0603 and 0648-0593. The public reporting burdens for these
collections of information are estimated to average: (1) 4 minutes for
each notification of a vessel trip, (2) 20 minutes for each vessel and
gear characterization form, (3) 31 minutes for each electronic logbook
installation and data download, (4) 8 hours for each video monitor
installation and data download, and (5) 20 minutes for each change of
ownership. These estimates of the public reporting burdens include the
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the collections of information. Send comments regarding the burden
estimates or any other aspect of the collection-of-information
requirements, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to NMFS
and to OMB (see ADDRESSES).
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is
required to respond to, and no person shall be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
