The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

*Needs and Uses:* Owners of fishing vessels that fish for lobster or deepwater shrimp that are crustacean management unit species in Federal waters, or that land crustacean management unit species in ports of the western Pacific region, must obtain a crustacean fisheries fishing permit from NMFS.
