streams, and other aquatic

environments. The several aquariums

are major educational and conservation

institutions with extensive field study

and outreach programs. The specimens

will be maintained in the various NCA

facilities for public display.

The proposed collection involves

activities otherwise prohibited by

Federal regulations implementing the

Fishery Management Plans for Coral,

Coral Reefs, and Live/Hard Bottom

Habitats, and the Fishery Management

Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fisheries

of the South Atlantic Region. The

applicant requests authorization in

order to harvest and possess corals, live

rock, and red porgy taken from Federal

waters off North Carolina.

The EFP has a number of conditions

concerning the harvest of prohibited

species and corals, the gear that can be

employed, and bycatch restrictions. The

EFP requires an annual report to NMFS

that lists taken specimens.

A notice of receipt of the application

for this permit was published in the

Federal Register on October 2, 2000 (65

FR 58745). In addition to announcing

the receipt of the application, public

comments were requested. No public

comments were received. Also,

consistent with the requirements of 50

CFR 600-745(b)(3)(1), NMFS provided

copies of the EFP application to the

State of North Carolina, the South

Atlantic Fishery Management Council,

and the U.S. Coast Guard along with

information on the EFP’s effects on

target species. All of the consulted

entities supported the issuance of the

EFP.

Failure of the permittee to comply

with the terms and conditions of the

EFP may be grounds for revocation,

suspension or modification of this

permit, as well as civil or criminal

sanctions.

the Director of OMB provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

Management and Budget (OMB) may

amend or waive the requirement for

statutory obligations. The Acting

Officer, publishes this notice containing

proposed information collection

collection. Each proposed information

Summary of the collection; (4)

Description of the need for, and

proposed use of, the information; (5)

Respondents and frequency of

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or

Recordkeeping burden. ED invites

Education is especially interested in

public comment addressing the

following issues: (1) Is this collection

necessary to the proper functions of the

Department; (2) will this information be

processed and used in a timely manner;

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

(4) how might the Department enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
