SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

Regulations at 50 CFR 622.6 (b) and

640.6 require that each fish or spiny

lobster trap or pot be marked with a tag

or the vessel permit number, depending

on the fishery, and have a buoy attached

that meets specified identification

requirements. The marking of gear aids

law enforcement, helps to ensure that

vessels only harvest fish from their own

gear, and makes it easier for fishermen

to report the use of gear in unauthorized

locations.

The regulations at 622.41 require that

aquaculture site materials be

distinguishable from the natural

occurring substrate, depending on the

area either through marking or other

method. The marking of aquacultured

site materials aids determination of the

origin of those materials and thereby

helps ensure compliance with the

regulations.

II. Method of Collection

No information is collected.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0648–0359.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals or

mackerel gillnet float, 7 minutes to tag

a trap, and 10 seconds to mark or tag an

aquacultured live coral rock.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Estimated Total Annual Cost to

Public: $15,200
