Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service Alaska Regional Office (NMFS AKR), requests revision and extension of this currently approved information collection that contains requirements for the NMFS Alaska Region cost recovery fee programs and the observer coverage fee program. NMFS AKR recovers program costs for seven cost recovery programs: Pacific Halibut and Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program, Crab Rationalization Program, Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program, Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program for groundfish and halibut, Aleutian Islands Pollock Program, and American Fisheries Act Program, Amendment 80 Program. This information collection is necessary under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which authorizes observer deployment fees and requires cost recovery fees to be collected for all limited access privilege (LAP) programs and community development quota (CDQ) programs. Three revisions are made to this collection. A slight revision is requested to change the title of the collection from “Alaska Quota Cost Recovery Programs” to “Alaska Cost Recovery and Fee Programs” to better reflect the contents of this information collection. Two forms have been revised and renamed and are now reported separately from the cost recovery fees in the tables in this supporting statement because NMFS AKR has finished transitioning to online payments only and these forms are no longer used to submit payments. Minor editorial changes are made to all the forms in this collection to improve clarity and consistency.
