(the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Area, the Alexander

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Alaska Cooperatives in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands.
Form Number(s): None.
OMB Approval Number: 0648–0401.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 320.
Number of Respondents: 11.
Average Hours Per Response:
Cooperative preliminary report, 20
hours; cooperative final report, 8 hours;
inshore cooperative catcher vessel
pollock catch report, 5 minutes; and
appointment of agent for service of
process, 5 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The cooperative
management structure, originally
implemented by the American Fisheries
Act (AFA), has shifted more of the
monitoring and enforcement burden to
the cooperatives and their members; and
has allowed NMFS to manage the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands pollock fishery
more precisely. With the flexibility
provided by cooperatives, vessels are
able to individually (and in aggregate)
come very close to harvesting exactly
the amount of pollock they were
allocated. The allocations of pollock and
other species have allowed the AFA
fleet the ability to spread their effort in
time and space to accommodate Steller
Sea Lion conservation measures. This
collection describes some of the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements under the AFA Program.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker,
(202) 395–3897.
Copies of the above information
collection proposal can be obtained by
calling or writing Diana Hynek,
