Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

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: Virginia Modified Pound Net 

Leader Inspection Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0559. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 19. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Telephone calls, 5 minutes; inspection 

meetings, 1 hour. 

Burden Hours: 70. 

Needs and Uses: This action would 

continue an inspection program for 

modified pound net leaders in the 

Virginia waters of the mainstem 

Chesapeake Bay. The pound net 

fishermen must call the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) to arrange for 

a meeting. At the meeting, they must 

allow for the inspection of gear to 

ensure the modified leader meets the 

definition of a modified pound net 

leader, as described in the regulations 

(50 CFR 222.102). This inspection 

program is necessary to provide 

fishermen with the insurance that their 

leaders meet the regulatory definition of 

a modified pound net leader before 

setting their gear, provide managers 

with the knowledge that the offshore 

leaders in a portion of the Virginia 

Chesapeake Bay are configured in a sea 

turtle-safe manner, and aid in 

enforcement efforts. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
