Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Regional Office, requests extension of this currently approved information collection for paper logbooks and reports used for management of the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska; management of the Individual Fishing Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries; and management of the BSAI Crab Rationalization Program crab fisheries. The text for one data field on the Product Transfer Report form has been clarified to include that it collects the shipper’s Federal Processor Permit (FPP) number. This is necessary to make the form consistent with the form’s instructions and with regulations that require the shipper’s FPP number or Federal Fisheries Permit number to be included on the report. This does not change the respondents, responses, or burden for this report. Collecting information from fishery participants is necessary to promote successful management of groundfish, crab, Pacific halibut, and salmon resources. A comprehensive information system that identifies the participants and monitors their fishing activity is necessary to enforce management measures, prevent overfishing, and measure the consequences of management controls. This collection supports an effective monitoring and enforcement system with information that includes identification of the participating vessels, operators, dealers, and processors; location of the fishing activity; timeframes when fishing and processing is occurring; and shipment and transfer of fishing products. The information collected promotes the goals and objectives of the fishery management plans, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable laws.
