Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service Alaska Region requests revision of this currently approved information collection, which contains requirements for transfer of License Limitation Program (LLP) licenses for the commercial groundfish, crab, and scallop fisheries. This information collection contains three elements: the application to transfer crab and groundfish LLP licenses, the application to transfer scallop LLP licenses, and the process for transfer appeals. This collection is revised due to a rule (RIN 0648-BL08) to implement Amendment 122 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, which would establish a new limited access privilege program, the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). Due to this rule, the application to transfer groundfish and crab LLP licenses is revised to collect information on the PCTC Program quota share transfers.
