Abstract:
This action would modify the requirements for an observer to obtain a nontrawl LL2 deployment endorsement, implement a pre-cruise meeting requirement for vessels required to carry an observer with a nontrawl LL2 deployment endorsement, and modify observer coverage and reporting requirements for vessels when participating in the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program. This action is intended to increase the number of observers that qualify for a nontrawl LL2 deployment endorsement, promote operational efficiency, and remove unnecessary requirements for specific vessels participating in the CDQ Program.
