The Department of Commerce has submitted a request for the renewal of an information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), concerning the management of the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery. This collection helps the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manage various aspects of scallop fishing, such as fishing trip exchanges, quota transfers, and cost recovery, in line with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Public comments on this information collection are invited and can be submitted within 30 days of the notice's publication. Anyone interested can view more details and submit comments through the website www.reginfo.gov.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to keep track of how people catch and trade sea scallops in the ocean to make sure it's done fairly and safely. They are asking people to share their thoughts and ideas about how they're doing this, and they need those ideas sent in within a month.
