Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office (AKRO), requests a revision and extension of this currently approved information collection that contains requirements for cooperative annual reports. The Amendment 80 Halibut Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) Management Plan is being removed from this collection because these plans are voluntary and the last submission of a management plan was in 2021. The cooperative annual reports currently covered by this collection are part of the following fishery programs: Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program, the Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program, the Amendment 80 Program, the American Fisheries Act and the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program. The purpose of the annual cooperative reports is to provide information to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and the public about the operations and performance of the cooperatives. This information is used by the Council to inform the public, to evaluate the performance of the cooperatives, and to identify problems or issues that may need to be addressed by the cooperatives or the Council in the future.
