Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests extension and revision of this currently approved information collection for the Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS). The IERS is a fisheries data collection system that enables the management of commercial fisheries off Alaska and is supported through a partnership among the NMFS Alaska Regional Office, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and the International Pacific Halibut Commission. The IERS provides the Alaska fishing industry with a consolidated, electronic means of reporting commercial fish and shellfish information to multiple management agencies through a single reporting system. This collection is revised due to an associated rule (RIN 0648-BL69) to revise the monitoring requirements for pot gear catcher/processors participating in Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) groundfish fisheries. This collection is revised to require use of the catcher/processor electronic logbook as a component of one of the rule’s monitoring options.
