Title: Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS) 
Abstract: This rule would revise 50 CFR part 679.4-Permits by making technical edits, clarifying, and simplifying existing requirements. In addition, this rule would revise several sections of 50 CFR part 679.5--Reformatting Recordkeeping and Reporting regulations, to make room for new electronic reporting requirements; make technical edits; clarify and simplify existing requirements; and remove obsolete text. A new section will be added to describe requirements for a catcher vessel electronic logbook. The shoreside processor electronic logbook report (SPELR) for groundfish at 679.5(e) will be replaced by the interagency electronic reporting system (IERS) eLandings data entry for groundfish, crab, IFQ halibut, IFQ sablefish, and CDQ halibut. The IFQ Internet system described at 679.5(l) will be revised with an option to use eLandings. The mothership weekly accumulative ADF&G fish tickets described at 679.5(m) will be removed; this information will be sent through IERS eLandings. The revision of this rule is necessary to meet the statutory deadline for eLandings to be in place for groundfish data entry by January 1, 2007.
