• Captains and crew must follow the 

provisions of the relevant cooperative 

agreement between NOAA and a Native 

American whaling organization. 

• The aboriginal hunters must have 

adequate crew, supplies, and equipment 

to engage in an efficient operation. 

• Crew may not receive money for 

participating in the hunt. 

• No person may sell or offer for sale 

whale products from whales taken in 

the hunt, except for authentic articles of 

Native American handicrafts.

manner.

The NMFS Southeast Regional Office 

manages three commercial IFQ and 

individual transferable quota (ITQ) 

programs in the Southeast Region under 

the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 

1801 et seq. The IFQ programs for red 

snapper, and grouper and tilefish occur 

in Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, 

and the ITQ program for wreckfish 

occurs in Federal waters of the South 

Atlantic. 

This collection of information tracks 

the transfer and use of IFQ and ITQ 

shares, and IFQ allocation and landings 

necessary to operate, administer, and 

review management of the IFQ and ITQ 

programs. Regulations for the IFQ and 

ITQ programs are located at 50 CFR part 

622. 

The NMFS Southeast Regional Office 

also proposes to revise parts of the 

information collection approved under 

OMB Control Number 0648–0551 to 

account for updates to burden time and 

cost estimates, as well as administrative 

updates to online and paper forms. 

NMFS intends the revisions would 

make instructions and data collection 

requirements clearer and easier to 

understand, resulting in more accurate 

and efficient information available for 

use by fishery managers. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually, quarterly and
