Abstract:
The CDQ Program is an economic development program associated with federally managed fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI). The purposes of the CDQ Program are to provide western Alaska communities the opportunity to participate and invest in BSAI fisheries, to support economic development in western Alaska, to alleviate poverty and provide economic and social benefits for residents of western Alaska, and to achieve sustainable and diversified local economies in western Alaska. This action amends the CDQ Program to support increased participation in the groundfish CDQ fisheries (primarily Pacific cod) by catcher vessels greater than 32 ft length overall (LOA) and less than or equal to 46 feet (ft) (14.0 meters (m)) LOA using hook-and-line gear and adds a requirement to register these additional catcher vessels with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This action removes the requirement to obtain and carry a License Limitation Program (LLP) license (see OMB Control No. 0648-0334).

Short Statement:
Program change is the additional exemptions from the LLP for 9 vessels, online registration of the 9 additional vessels, and printing and distribution of the LLP Exemption Letter to each participating vessel. In addition, NMFS added an appeals process for issue of an initial administrative determination (IAD) (added 1 respondent and response, 4 hour burden and 148 personnel costs). The IAD describes NMFS’ disapproval if the application is incomplete, the voluntary cooperative does not represent a majority of the vessels participating in the sector, or the CDQ harvest regulations are not more restrictive than the non-CDQ regulations for the applicable sector. An applicant who receives an IAD disapproving an application may appeal under the procedures set forth at § 679.43. The CDQ or PSQ Transfer Request is revised to include a question whether the halibut PSQ amount entered should be converted to halibut PSC. This added 1hr burden and $109 personnel cost. Adjustments are a change in personnel cost for the Request to Use Non-CDQ Harvest Regulations; from $25/hr to $37/hr.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
