SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Fishery Management Plans for

Atlantic Surf Clams and Ocean

Quahogs, and Atlantic Mackerel, Squid,

and Butterfish include requirements

that the National Marine Fisheries

Service and/or the MAFMC survey

domestic processors and joint venture

operators annually to establish industry

capacity to utilize the managed species.

A survey, required under the squid,

mackerel and butterfish regulations at

50 CFR 648.21(b), is used to establish

the intent and capacity of the US

industry to utilize allowable harvest in

a given year. If the US industry is

unable to fully utilize the allowed

harvest of Atlantic mackerel, the excess

may be used in establishing levels of

catch for joint ventures and/or direct

foreign harvest .

A survey, required under the surf

clam and ocean quahog regulations at 50

CFR 648.7(a)(2)(ii), is used to obtain

data for use in monitoring present

processing activities and estimating

future production at the processing

plant level. As in previous years, this

information is obtained annually

through a telephone survey.

Both surveys seek information

concerning annual capacity to process

theses species; historical amount of

product processed; and quantity of

product to be processed in the future.

II. Method of Collection

Written and telephone surveys.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0648–0235.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

Amendment 8 to the Fishery

Management Plan for Surf Clams and

Ocean Quahogs (FMP) implemented a

requirement for vessel owners that

desire to use their vessels for shucking

either surf clams or ocean quahogs at

sea to submit an Application to Process

Surf Clams/Ocean Quahogs at Sea

(Application) to the Regional

Administrator, NMFS, Northeast Region

(Regional Administrator). The contents

of the application are specified at 50

CFR 648.74(a)(2) and include: Name and

address of the applicant, permit number

of the vessel, method of calculating the

amount of surf clams or ocean quahogs

harvested in the shell, vessel

dimensions and accommodations, and

length of fishing trip. Upon receipt of

the application, the Regional

Administrator may allow the shucking

of surf clams or ocean quahogs at sea if

he/she determines that an observer

carried aboard the vessel can measure

accurately, in bushels, the total amount

of surf clams and ocean quahogs

harvested in the shell prior to shucking.

The calculation of bushels is extremely

important since the fisheries operate

under a system of individual

transferable quotas which are defined in

32-bushel units.
