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 applications, permits, and reports necessary for NMFS to manage the Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program. NMFS requires this information to evaluate the ability of a specific CQE to represent an eligible community and for fisheries management. Due to the associated rule, this information collection is revised to remove the notary certification from two forms. In addition to the changes due to the rule, minor editorial changes are made to most of the forms in this collection to improve clarity and consistency.
