 DATES: This rule is effective on October 5, 2009. The amendments to 50 CFR 665.13, 665.14, 665.21, and 665.22, published at 73 FR 70600 (November 21, 2008), have been approved by OMB and are effective on October 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 
                    **Federal Register**
                     document is also accessible at 
                    *www.gpoaccess.gov/​fr/​*. A final rule for Amendment 15 was published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70600). The requirements of that final rule, other than the collection-of-information requirements, were effective on December 22, 2008. Because OMB approval of the collection-of-information requirements had not been received by the date that final rule was published, the effective date of the associated permitting and reporting requirements in that rule was delayed. OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements contained in the final rule on August 11, 2009. Under NOAA Administrative Order 205-11, dated December 17, 1990, the Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere has delegated authority to sign material for publication in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA. Classification This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number. This final rule contains new collection-of-information requirements subject to the PRA under OMB Control Number 0648-0589. The public reporting burden for these requirements is estimated to be 0.5 hr per permit applicant, with renewals requiring an additional 0.5 hr annually and approximately 10 min per vessel per fishing day to complete Federal catch reports. These estimates include time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of this data collection, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to William L. Robinson (see 
                    **ADDRESSES**
                    ), or by e-mail to
