I. Abstract
The Community Development Quota
(CDQ) program is implemented under
the Magnuson Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Fishery Management Plan for the
Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands, and regulations at
50 CFR part 679. The purpose of the
CDQ program is to allocate a portion of
the quotas for groundfish, Pacific
halibut, crab, and prohibited species in
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area to Western Alaska
communities so that these communities
can start and support regionally-based,
commercial seafood or other fisheriesrelated businesses. Under the CDQ
program, 65 eligible Western Alaska
communities have organized into six
separate CDQ groups. The CDQ groups
have incorporated under Alaska law as
nonprofit corporations.
CDQ and prohibited species quota
(PSQ) allocations are made to CDQ
groups. However, in many cases the
CDQ groups contract with existing
fishing vessels and processors to harvest
CDQ on their behalf. The CDQ group is
responsible to monitor the catch of CDQ
and PSQ by all vessels fishing under its
Community Development Plan and to
take the necessary action to prevent
overages. National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) monitors the reported
catch to assure that quotas are not being
exceeded.
II. Method of Collection
Paper reports and plans, and the
method of submittal are through the
U.S. mail.
III. Data

I. Abstract
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Federal regulations found at 50 CFR
229.34 limits the number of gillnets that
can be used in certain fisheries in the
mid-Atlantic that appear to be most
closely linked with accidental catch of
harbor porpoises. The fishermen in
these fisheries must obtain and attach
numbered tags for their nets. Because
the number of tags per vessel is capped,
the tagging program helps to limit the
number of nets in use and helps NOAA
identify the number in use.

I. Abstract
This collection of information
involves sea turtles becoming
accidentally entangled in active or
discarded fixed fishing gear. These
entanglements may prevent the recovery
of endangered and threatened sea turtle
populations. The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) has
established the Sea Turtle
Disentanglement Network to promote
reporting and increase successful
disentanglement of sea turtles. As there
is limited observer coverage of pot gear
fisheries, NMFS relies on the U.S. Coast
Guard, fishing industry, stranding
network, federal, state, and local
