already required by law or not already
approved for use, and therefore,
imposes no additional paperwork
burden on the public. Accordingly, the

et seq.) and its implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 do not

and federal waters is an international
and federal responsibility under the
North Pacific Halibut Act of 1982.
Annual catch quotas are determined by
the International Pacific Halibut
Commission (IPHC), and federal
responsibility for halibut management
extends to halibut stocks and fishing
activity within State of Alaska waters. In
order to manage halibut effectively,
international and federal managers need
information on halibut fishing effort and
harvest by all user groups, including the
guided sport charter sector of the
fishery.
In order to minimize the
recordkeeping and reporting burden on
guided charter operations, federal and
international managers depend on
fishing activity and harvest information
collected by the State of Alaska through
its charter logbook program. Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 300.65 require
charter vessel operators fishing in IPHC
Areas 2C and 3A to comply with the
State of Alaska logbook reporting
requirements.
The State of Alaska Department of
Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of
Sport Fish initiated a mandatory
logbook program for charter vessels in
1998 requiring annual registration of
sport fishing guides and businesses and
logbook reporting. The logbook and
registration program was intended to
provide information on actual
participation and harvest by individual
charter vessels and businesses in
various regions of the state.
ADF&G issues charter logbooks to
licensed businesses only and also
provides operators with registration
stickers and statistical area maps. A
schedule of logbook due dates is printed
inside the front cover of each logbook.
NMFS and ADF&G coordinated
closely in the development of this
information collection to use the
existing ADF&G logbook to record
information necessary for the
monitoring and enforcement of the
charter vessel angler daily catch limit of
halibut, so that a separate federal
logbook system would not be necessary.
This approach reduces burden to both
the charter vessel industry, and federal
and state management agencies.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
