Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service Alaska Regional Office (NMFS) requests revision of this currently approved information collection that contains requirements for the NMFS Alaska Region fee programs. 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 programs and community development quota programs. This information collection is revised due to a proposed rule to implement electronic monitoring (EM) for pelagic trawl catcher vessels and tender vessels delivering pollock to shoreside processors or stationary floating processors in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska (RIN 0648-BM40). This action is intended to improve salmon accounting, reduce monitoring costs, and improve the quality of monitoring data. This collection is revised to add the submission of the new full coverage trawl EM fee. This fee increases the total respondents, responses, and burden for this collection. This proposed rule would also affect information collection requirements approved under OMB Control Numbers 0213, -0318, -0330, and -0515. NMFS is submitting separate requests to revise these collections.
