Short Statement: This action would allow Pacific halibut bycatch to be sorted on the deck of trawl catcher/processors and motherships participating in the non-pollock groundfish fisheries off Alaska.

This action adds new information collections, the Deck Safety Plan and Deck Safety Plan Meeting, and revises the estimates for Observer Notification and Pre-Cruise Notification to reflect the number of vessels annually expected to participate in halibut deck sorting. No changes were made to the burden or costs for Administrative Appeals. There was no change in the annual miscellaneous costs for this collection.
