SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, 16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the 

Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law 

104–297, provided for the establishment 

of an AP to assist in the collection and 

evaluation of information relevant to the 

development of any FMP or FMP 

amendment for Atlantic HMS. NMFS 

consults with and considers the 

comments and views of AP members 

when preparing and implementing 

FMPs or FMP amendments for Atlantic 

tunas, swordfish, billfish, and sharks. 

The AP has previously consulted with 

NMFS on: Amendment 1 to the Billfish 

FMP (April 1999); the HMS FMP (April 

1999); Amendment 1 to the HMS FMP 

(December 2003); the Consolidated HMS 

FMP (October 2006); and Amendments 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 

to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP 

(April and October 2008, February and 

September 2009, May and September 

2010, April and September 2011, March 

and September 2012, January and 

September 2013, April and September 

2014, March and September 2015, and 

March, September, and December 2016, 

and May and September 2017), among 

other things. 

The intent of this meeting is to 

consider alternatives for the 

conservation and management of all 

Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish, and 

shark fisheries. We anticipate 

discussing: 

• Short- and long-term management 

of Atlantic shortfin mako (emergency 

rule extension and Draft Amendment 

11); 

• Bluefin tuna management (Threeyear review of Amendment 7 measures 

and next steps) 

• Progress updates on a number of 

other actions such as Ecosystem-Based 

Fisheries Management; Amendment 12 

(rulemaking to implement NMFS 

national policy directives); weak-hook 

and area based management; crossregional vessel electronic reporting (e.g., 

eVTR, SEFHIER, eTrips); and spatial 

management options. 

• Shark management in general 

(Amendment 14 regarding quota 

management; catch-per–unit-effort for 

sharks; and shark stock assessments) 

We also anticipate inviting other 

NMFS offices to provide updates, if 

available, on their activities relevant to 

HMS fisheries such as updates to the 

Marine Recreational Information 

Program. The State Department will be 

invited to provide updates on U.S./ 

Bahama EEZ boundary negotiations. 

Finally, we intend to invite other NMFS 

offices and the United States Coast 

Guard to provide updates on their 

activities relevant to HMS fisheries. 

Additional information on the 

meeting and a copy of the draft agenda 

will be posted prior to the meeting at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and 

Conservation Act both authorizes and 

requires the collection of cost recovery 

fees for Limited Access Privilege (LAP) 

programs and Western Alaska 

Community Development Quota (CDQ) 

programs. The cost recovery fees may 

not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel 

value, and must recover costs associated 

with the management, data collection, 

and enforcement of these programs that 

are directly incurred by government 

agencies tasked with overseeing these 

fisheries. 

In addition, NMFS collects observer 

coverage fees to support the funding and 

deployment of observers on vessels and 

in plants in the partial observer 

coverage category. The observer 

coverage fee must be paid by permit 

holders in the partial observer coverage 

category, i.e., small catcher/processors, 

catcher vessels, shoreside processors, 

and stationary floating processors 

named on a Federal Fisheries Permit, or 

a person named on a Registered Buyer 

permit. 

Processors that receive and purchase 

landings of IFQ halibut or sablefish, 

rockfish, groundfish, and crab subject to 

observer and/or cost recovery fees must 

submit an Ex-vessel Value and Volume 

report under 50 CFR 679.5 or 50 CFR 

680.5 that provides information on the 

pounds purchased and value paid. 

NMFS uses this information to establish 

the total ex-vessel value of the fishery, 

to calculate standard prices, and to 

establish annual fee percentages in each 

fishery. 

In 2016, due to an associated rule, 

revisions to the payment collection 

methods were approved under OMB 

control number 0648–0727. The 

extension of the current collection, 

OMB control number 0648–0711, will 

incorporate these 2016 revisions, and 

0648–0727 will be discontinued. 

II. Method of Collection 

Payment must be submitted online 

through eFISH at https://alaskafisheries.

noaa.gov/webapps/efish/login for the 

following: 

• Observer coverage fee; and 

• cost recovery fees for the Western 

Alaska Community Development Quota
