Abstract:
eLandings and seaLandings are components of the Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS). The IERS provides the Alaska fishing industry with a consolidated electronic means of reporting production and landings of commercial fish and shellfish to multiple management agencies. This action adds requirements for longline or pot gear catcher/processors to use an electronic logbook instead of a DCPL. In addition, this action would modify equipment and operational requirements for freezer longliners (catcher/processors), will increase the speed and accuracy of data transmission to NMFS, and will assist in accurate quota monitoring. This action would affect the owners and operators of 94 longline catcher/processors with a License Limitation Program license endorsed for catcher/processor operations, Pacific cod, hook-and-line gear, and Bering Sea or Aleutian Islands areas. These requirements are in effect when the eligible catcher/processor is operating in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area, Gulf of Alaska, or while the vessel is groundfish Western Alaska Community Development Quota fishing. In addition, eLogs for catcher vessels are transferrred from OMB Control No. 0648-0213, so that all electronic logbooks will be in the same information collection.

Short Statement:
Changes: NMFS is adding a new program for catcher/processors using longline or pot gear with a requirement to use an eLog instead of a paper DCPL. In addition, a correction is made to add the trawl gear catcher/processors that were required under BSAI Amendment 91 to use an eLog instead of a paper DCPL A change is made by moving a pilot eLog for catcher vessel trawl vessels from OMB Control No. 0213 to this collection, so that all electronic logbooks will be in the same collection. In addition, the description of eLandings is updated to include new features, i.e., tender exchange, permit magnetic strip which automatically provides information on the permit holder, out-of-state landing report, and the enhanced use of processor registration to include sub-operations eLog, Catcher/processor (NEW) an increase of 94 respondents, 94 instead of 0 an increase of 19,082 responses, 19,082 instead of 0 an increase of 4,724 hours burden, 4,724 instead of 0 an increase of $118,100 personnel costs, $118,100 instead of $0 an increase of $6,267 annualized capital costs, $6,267 instead of $0eLog, Catcher vessel trawl (ADDED) (NO CHANGES) an increase of 14 respondents, 14 instead of 0 an increase of 518 responses, 518 instead of 0 an increase of 146 hours burden, 146 instead of 0 an increase of $3,650 personnel costs, $3,650 instead of $0 Adjustments: eLandings Processor registration of operation and sub-operation (ADJUSTMENT) a decrease of 3 respondents and responses, 12 instead of 15 a decrease of 1 hour burden, 3 instead of 4 a decrease of $25 personnel costs, $75 instead of $100 a decrease of $1 miscellaneous costs, $6 instead of $7 eLandings Landing report (ADJUSTMENT; changed estimated time to print from 30 min to 5 min; removed duplicate respondents) a decrease of 144 respondents,95 instead of 239 a decrease of 1,198 responses, 20,425 instead of 21,623 a decrease of 9,208 hours burden, 3,405 instead of 12,613 a decrease of $230,225 personnel costs, $85,100 instead of $315,325 a decrease of $119 miscellaneous costs, $2,043 instead of $2,162 eLandings Production report (ADJUSTMENT; changed estimated time to submit and print from average of 15 minutes to 5 minutes) an increase of 11 respondents,189 instead of 178 a decrease of 4,431 hours burden, 2,036 instead of 6,467 a decrease of $110,783 personnel costs, $50,900 instead of $161,683
