SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The proposed rule for Framework 

Adjustment 40–A (Framework 40–A) to 

the NE Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) was published 

in the Federal Register on September 

14, 2004 (69 FR 55388). Framework 40–

A was developed by the New England 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

to provide additional opportunities for 

vessels in the fishery to target relatively 

healthy stocks of groundfish in order to 

mitigate the economic and social 

impacts resulting from the effort 

reductions promulgated by Amendment 

13 to the FMP (69 FR 22906, April 27, 

2004), and to harvest groundfish stocks 

at levels that approach optimum yield. 

Framework 40–A proposes to create 

three programs to allow vessels to use 

Category B Days-at-Sea (DAS) (both 

Regular and Reserve) to target healthy 

stocks: (1) Regular B DAS Pilot Program; 

(2) Closed Area (CA) I Hook Gear 

Haddock Special Access Program (SAP); 

and (3) Eastern U.S./Canada Haddock 

SAP Pilot Program.

In addition, Framework 40–A 

proposes to relieve an Amendment 13 

restriction that currently prohibits 

vessels from fishing both in the Western 

U.S./Canada Area, and outside that area 

on the same trip.

The information collection for the 

provisions within Framework 40–A was 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget in an emergency clearance 

on September 22, 2004. This 

information collection submission 

included automated vessel monitoring 

system (VMS) polling of vessel position; 

observer notifications; area and DAS 

category declarations via VMS; when 

fishing on a Category B DAS, 

declaration of a DAS category ‘‘flip’’ to 

a Category A DAS when a vessel 

exceeds the possession limit; and a 

declaration to participate in the Closed 

Area I Hook Gear Haddock SAP.

II. Method of Collection

Automated VMS polling of vessel 

position would be required of all vessels 

intending to participate in the programs 

proposed under Framework 40–A. The 

vessel operator would not be required to 

submit this information manually. 

Vessel owners would be charged a 

monthly operational fee for VMS usage. 

The area to be fished and the category 

of DAS to be used would be required to 

be declared prior to leaving port on a 

trip in which a vessel intends to 

participate in one of the programs 

proposed in Framework 40–A. A DAS 

category ‘‘flip’’ would be required if a 

vessel exceeds the possession limit 

specified for several species of concern 

when fishing on a Category B DAS. 

Reporting this information via VMS is 

required to monitor: (1) DAS usage; (2) 

compliance with the provisions of the 

specific programs proposed in 

Framework 40–A; and (3) compliance 

with the closed area regulations.

Notification of the intent to 

participate in any of the programs 

proposed under Framework 40–A prior 

to each trip, as well as the declaration 

of a vessel’s intent to participate in the 

Closed Area I Hook Gear Haddock SAP, 

would occur via a telephone call to the 

contracting company tasked with 

providing observer coverage. This 

information is required to determine the 

necessary observer coverage for these 

programs.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0648–0501.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations; and individuals or 

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

997.

Estimated Time Per Response: Each 

automated VMS positional poll requires 

an estimated 5 seconds per response. 

Declarations of the area to be fished, 

DAS to be used, and DAS ‘‘flips’’ via 

VMS would take approximately 5 

minutes per declaration. The observer 

notification prior to each trip is 

estimated to take 2 minutes per 

notification. Finally, declaring a vessel’s 

intent to participate in the Closed Area 

I Hook Gear Haddock SAP is expected 

to take approximately 2 minutes per 

declaration.

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The information collection 

submission for Framework 40–A 

included revisions to previously 

approved information collections for 

Amendment 13. As a result, the 

estimated total annual burden hours for 

the provisions contained within 

Framework 40–A information collection 

submission amount to a reduction of 

2,094 hours from previous submissions.

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $1,181,264.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 200 / Monday, October 18, 2004 / Notices 61345

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology.

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
