Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests extension of this currently approved information collection. This information collection contains the logbooks, landing reports, permit and transfer applications, and administrative appeals for the Pacific halibut charter fishery off Alaska. This collection is necessary for NMFS to manage and administer the charter halibut fishery under the Charter Halibut Limited Access Program and the Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan. This collection is an essential part of the sustainable management of the Pacific halibut fishery off Alaska, and is an integral element of ensuring regulatory compliance in the charter halibut fishing sector. With this extension, a form for the manual (non-electronic) guided angler fish (GAF) landing report has been created. Previously there was no form for a permit holder to use if they could not submit this report electronically. This form will improve the efficiency of submitting non-electronic GAF landing information. Minor editorial changes have been made to existing forms to increase clarity and consistency with other NMFS Alaska Regional Office forms. The Application for Annual Registration of Charter Halibut Permit has been updated to show that it can be submitted online through eFISH. This supporting statement also incorporates the 2021 change request that removed the notary certification requirement for the Application for Transfer of Charter Halibut Permit.
