*Number of Respondents:*                     1,829.                 

*Average Hours per Response:*                     HMS permit applications, 30 minutes; renewals, 6 minutes; coastal pelagic permit renewals, 15 minutes (no new permit applications); transfers, 30 minutes; appeals, 2 hours.

*Needs and Uses:*                     The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) established regional fishery management councils, including the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council), to develop fishery management plans (FMP) for fisheries in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The Pacific Council has prepared a FMP for the coastal pelagic species (CPS) fishery off the U.S. West Coast and for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species. Each of these FMPs contain a requirement that commercial fishery participants obtain permits for the fishery. This request deals with the continuing information collection requirements for permits: Basic fishery permits (e.g., highly migratory species (HMS)), limited entry permits for selected fisheries (e.g., West Coast coastal pelagic fishery), and experimental fishing permits (EFP).
