Abstract:
This collection-of-information affords an increasingly more efficient and accurate database for monitoring and management of the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone in the waters off Alaska for purposes of conservation of the fisheries as well as for the enforcement of fisheries regulations. Parts of this collection are also used by the fishermen recording catch information on the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab fisheries, and the Individual Fishing Quota Program for Pacific halibut. This action is a revision of this collection to incorporate the increased use of an electronic reporting system, eLandings, and the decreased use of paper logbooks and forms. An earlier version was pre-approved, but had to be withdrawn, as the final rule was not ready for publication before renewal of this collection was due.

Short Statement:
This action revises use of some of the logbooks and forms due to regulatory effectiveness of an electronic data system, eLandings (see OMB 0648-0515). The shoreside processor DCPL is removed. The mothership and catcher/processor DCPLs are now partially completed in conjunction with eLandings, but time per response remains the same, based on partial duplication of information 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. In addition, frequency of responses for DCPLs is corrected based on current regulatory requirements
