    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Southwest Region Permit Family of Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0204.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Respondents: 1,829.

renewals, 6 minutes; coastal pelagic permit renewals, 15 minutes (no 
new permit applications); transfers, 30 minutes; appeals, 2 hours.
    Burden Hours: 139.
    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).
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
