Abstract:
The Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS) is a collaborative program for reporting commercial fishery landings administered by NMFS, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and the International Pacific Halibut Commission. The IERS consists of three main components (see https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/fisheries/electronic-reporting): eLandings, seaLandings, and tLandings. With this action, NMFS would require tender vessel operators to use tLandings to create landing reports; modify the definition of buying station so that tenders and land-based buying stations are differentiated under the regulations; and remove the requirement for buying stations to complete the buying station report. This action would update tender delivery data to improve timeliness and reliability of landing reports for catcher vessels delivering to tender vessels for use in catch accounting and in-season management.

Short Statement:
Program Changes: NMFS is adding the use of tLandings as a new program; previously tLandings was used voluntarily. The use of tLandings will now be used by specific entities, mainly tender vessels. Other entities that were using tLandings on land will use eLandings. Only those vessels using a thumb drive at sea to pass data from a tender vessel to a processor will now be using tLandings. tLandings landing report a decrease of 166 respondents, 9 instead of 175 a decrease of 1,588 responses, 162 instead of 1,750 a decrease of 576 hours burden, 95 hr instead of 671 hr a decrease of $21,312 personnel costs, $3,515 instead of $24,827 an increase of $7,383 miscellaneous costs, $7,383 instead of $0 Adjustments: eLandings registration an increase of 7 respondents and responses, 19 instead of 12 an increase of 2 hours burden, 5 hr instead of 3 hr an increase of $74 personnel costs, $185 instead of $111 an increase of $4 miscellaneous costs, $10 instead of $6 eLandings landing report an increase of 44 respondents, 139 instead of 95 an increase of 1,198 responses, 21,623 instead of 20,425 an increase of $7,511 personnel costs, $133,459 instead of $125,948 an increase of $60 miscellaneous costs, $1,081 instead of $1,021 eLandings production report an increase of 57 respondents, 246 instead of 189 an increase of 1,500 responses, 25,926 instead of 24,426 an increase of 4,806 hr burden, 6,842 hr instead of 2,036 hr an increase of $177,822 personnel costs, $253,154 instead of $75,332 an increase of $75 miscellaneous costs, $1,296 instead of $1,221
