The Crab Rationalization Program (CR Program) allocated Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) crab resources among harvesters, processors, and coastal communities. The CR Program addresses conservation and management issues associated with the previous derby fishery, reduces bycatch and associated discard mortality. The annual issuance of CR Program fishery allocations to achieve these goals necessitates this information collection in order to manage and administrate the Program, and to allow fishery participants to transfer their fishery privileges and utilize other regulatory provisions to increase flexibility and maximize benefits. administrate the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization limited access privilege program. This information collection contains the forms used by participants in the Crab Rationalization program to apply for or renew permits; transfer or lease individual fishing quota, individual processing quota, quota share, or processor quota share; and apply for exemption from regional delivery requirements.
