Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Regional Office, requests revision of this currently approved information collection that 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 CQE to represent an eligible community and for fisheries management. This collection is revised due to an associated rule (RIN 0648-BL54) to implement Amendment 124 to the FMP for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and Amendment 112 to the FMP for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. This rule would amend regulations for the Individual Fishing Quota and Community Development Quota programs to increase operational efficiency and reduce administrative burden for program participants. This information collection is revised to provide additional submission methods and to temporarily remove the Adak CQE residency requirement for the Application for a CQE to Transfer IFQ to an Eligible Community Resident or Non-resident. No changes were made to the respondents, responses, or burdens in this collection.
