Abstract:
This information collection is revised due to an associated rule (RIN 0648-BK76) to modify recordkeeping and reporting requirements to remove pot gear tag requirements in the sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fishery in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and remove requirements to obtain and submit a notary certification on application forms. This information collection contains the gear identification requirements for the groundfish fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska. This information collection is necessary to facilitate enforcement of fishery regulations. Two forms for pot gear tags are removed because this rule removes the requirements for IFQ sablefish fishermen using longline pot gear in the GOA to annually register their vessel and to obtain and mark their gear with pot gear tags. This action is expected to reduce costs to IFQ program participants by removing the requirements and associated administrative costs of the pot gear tag program.
