SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

NOAA, National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) seeks comment on the 

renewal of permit information 

collections required to: (1) Renew and 

transfer of Pacific Coast Groundfish 

limited entry permits; (2) implement 

certain provisions of the sablefish 

permit stacking program as provided for 

at 50 CFR 660.372 and 660.334; and (3) 

issue and fulfill the terms and 

conditions of certain exempted fishing 

permits (EFP). 

NMFS, Northwest Region manages the 

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery in the 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off 

Washington, Oregon, and California 

under the Pacific Coast Groundfish 

Fishery Management Plan. The 

regulations implementing the Pacific 

Groundfish Fishery require that those 

individuals participating in the limited 

entry fishery have a valid limited entry 

permit. Participation in the fishery and 

access to a limited entry permit has 

been restricted to control the overall 

harvest capacity. 

Each year permit owners are required 

to renew their permits by reviewing 

their current permit information, 

providing updated contact information 

and certifying that the permit 

information is correct. Similarly, a 

permit owner is required to request in 

writing a permit transfer which may 

involve either registering another vessel 

to the permit and/or conveying the 

permit to another person or business 

entity. Additional information may be 

requested from the permit owner to 

determine compliance with groundfish 

regulations. The regulations 

implementing the limited entry program 

are found at 50 CFR Part 660, Subpart 

G. 

Also, NMFS requires information 

collections to implement a sablefish 

permit stacking program which will 

allow NMFS to prevent excessive fleet 

consolidation. This information 

collection requires a corporation or 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
