Abstract:
NMFS Alaska Region provides free logbooks for harvesters (daily fishing logbooks, or DFLs) and processors (daily cumulative production logbooks, or DCPLs) to record groundfish information. The longline or pot gear logbooks for catcher vessels and catcher/processors also may be used to record Pacific halibut and sablefish Individual Fishing Quota information as well as crab rationalization program information. This statement is a request for revision of this collection to incorporate the increased use of electronic reporting systems which gradually are replacing the use of paper logbooks and to note certain forms that are removed due to replacement by electronic systems.

Short Statement:
This revision introduces electronic versions of the logbooks that will eventually replace paper logbooks. The shoreside processor DCPL is removed as the primary data collection format for groundfish and IFQ fisheries. The mothership and catcher/processor DCPLs are now partially completed in conjunction with eLandings. Mothership cumulative fish tickets are removed from this collection, because eLandings creates fish tickets as part of the normal procedure. The daily production report and weekly production report are removed, because eLandings also creates daily production reports as part of the normal procedure. For only one IC has the burden increased, as some vessels were shifted to that recordkeeping method.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
