shipboard observers, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) who 

are on the ocean regularly, as well as 

numerous experts on marine debris 

observations at sea. The Shipboard 

Observation Form for Floating Marine 

Debris was created based on methods 

used in studies of floating marine debris 

by established researchers, previous 

shipboard observational studies 

conducted at sea by NOAA, and the 

experience and input of recreational 

sailors. The goal of this form is to be 

able to report the amount and types of 

visible, floating marine debris within an 

area of a water body of a known size. 

Additionally, this form will help collect 

data on floating marine debris that 

could result from future severe marine 

debris generating events in order to 

model the movement of the debris as 

well as prepare (as needed) for debris 

arrival. This form can be used to collect 

data on floating marine debris in any 

water body. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; not-for profit institutions; 

business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Frequency: Once per year. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Marine Debris Act 

(33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.).

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

The applicant proposes to continue a 

long-term study of the trends in 

abundance and distribution of 

loggerhead sea turtles in southwestern 

Florida Bay. Researchers would also 

determine size, growth, sex, genetic 

identity, reproductive status, health, 

and movements of animals. Researchers 

would capture up to 125 sea turtles by 

hand for examination, measurements, 

photographs, weights, flipper and 

passive integrated transponder tagging, 

marking, and blood and tumor 

sampling. Up to 20 additional 

loggerheads may be pursued during 

unsuccessful capture attempts. The 

permit would be valid for 10 years.

Title: Fishing Capacity Reduction 

Buyback Loan Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0376. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(revision and extension of a current 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 220. 

Average Hours per Response: 0.5 

hours for fee collection reports; 4 hours 

for buyback annual reports. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,020. 

Needs and Uses: Many U.S. fisheries 

have excess fishing capacity. Excess 

fishing capacity decreases earnings, 

complicates management, and imperils 

conservation. To provide for fishing 

capacity reduction programs, in 1996 

Congress amended the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act) by adding section 312(b)–(e) (16 

U.S.C. 1861a(b)–(e)). The framework 

regulations to conduct these reduction 

programs were published as an interim 

final rule on May 18, 2000 (65 FR
