Abstract:
Pursuant to Proposed Rule 0648-BJ49 NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing a change to 0648-0515. This information collection consists of the information collection requirements for the Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System, which includes electronic logbooks, landing reports, and production reports used for management of the commercial fisheries off Alaska. This information collection will remain unchanged, with the exception that sculpins will be reported as non-target ecosystem component (EC) species rather than target species.
