Abstract:
As part of its fishery management responsibilities, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires vessels and processors participating in Federally managed groundfish and crab fisheries off Alaska to provide information through paper logbooks and other forms. This collection is revised due to the associated rule (RIN 0648-BI65) for Amendment 118 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area, which authorizes retention of legal-size halibut in pot-and-line and longline pot gear used to fish for halibut or sablefish IFQ or CDQ in the BSAI. Under this action, all vessels fishing sablefish or halibut IFQ/CDQ with pot gear will be required to use a logbook. This collection supports an effective monitoring and enforcement system with information that includes identification of the participating vessels, operators, dealers, and processors; location of the fishing activity; timeframes when fishing and processing is occurring; and shipment and transfer of fishing products. Collecting information from fishery participants is necessary in order to promote successful management of groundfish, crab, Pacific halibut, and salmon resources.
