SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) Southeast Region manages the 

U.S. fisheries in the exclusive economic 

zone of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, 

and South Atlantic regions under 

various fishery management plans 

(FMPs). The regional fishery 

management councils prepared the 

FMPs pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act). The regulations implementing the 

FMPs are located at 50 CFR part 622. 

The recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements at 50 CFR part 622 form 

the basis for this collection of 

information. The NMFS Southeast 

Region requires that all permitted 

fishing vessels must mark their vessel 

with the official identification number 

or some form of identification. A 

vessel’s official number, under most 

regulations, is required to be displayed
