Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service Alaska Region requests revision and extension 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 final 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 establishes 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 PCTC Program quota share transfers.

Short Statement:
Due to the final rule (0648-BL08), the application for the transfer of groundfish and crab LLP licenses has been revised to collect information for the transfer of PCTC QS under the new PCTC Program that is implemented by this rule. This added 10 respondents and 5 responses for this application. No change was made to the estimated burden because the estimate allows for differences in the time needed to complete and submit the form.
